I think it's actually been crossed off the todo list. See post #2155 for instructions.

Post #1275 contains links to the above and to other useful guides for Utter.

I might be wrong here, but how do I use this app when i'm offline? I think google voice search has to be used online, so is there any other option?

Utter with Halo / Intent-Activities Database

For some reason I can't get rid of utter in the Halo ball.

While some may not have that fuction implemented on their rom, I'm using Carbon (using the same source than PA Rom), it has a blacklist of the app we do not want to show up in the ball. Utter still stays there...I feel that this post is a long shot but I wanted to mention it!

Also don't forget to add your intent/activities to the database that [MENTION=4785582]entropicAlchemist[/MENTION] created. I already added the utter ones and another app I'm using (amazing app btw) Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
I'm not a fan of Halo (do like Carbon though), but if you go into utter's settings, you can disable the notification icon. There's a caveat that comes up about stability, but I didn't notice any problems (admittedly didn't use Halo that long).
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Thank you for your quick answer!

I tried that before but then it takes the whole thing out including the top notification in the bar...I want to keep Utter on the top bar and in the notification but out of the ball.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I feel amazingly stupid now lol, forget all that i posted last time, I should have looked in the guides first, that's certainly a better way to do things, and actually i thought of looking it up when i was reading about intents on tasker, it's good to see there's actually a way to do it :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] thomaskid:
4.2.2. I checked the troubleshooting section on being unable to get it to work when I'm offline. I can't seem to uninstall the Google voice search data for offline speech recognition. any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
That's right, it does. It's the only thing I can think of. There was also a similar problem with the Tasker icon. I would be more inclined to use Halo if you could drag/resize the windows, or if overlay dialog boxes worked (like for Play Store updates). I don't use social media enough to make Halo worthwhile.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Make sure that you have the most recent version of Google Search & Google Voice Search.

Under your settings on your phone-

Find Language & Input

1. Make sure you hae Google Voice Typing "checked"

2. Select Text to speech output and see if Google Text to Speech is enabled. (Click on the settings) there and see if you have the option to download offline speech files.

Afterwards, reboot and attempt again.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Are you trying to use offline recognition with a language different than english? because as far as i know, that's not possible currently, at least not in spanish, not sure about other languages. Pretty sure it will only work with English US, but if you somehow manage to make it work (as explained by GLDavis) I hope you can give feedback here.
[Android Apps and Games] ggiraudon:
Hi Brandall,

I was putsing around with Samsung's S-Voice manifest to see if Utter could be tweaked to launch upon long-pressing a headset button while still keeping the ability to pickup/hangup calls with that same button. The problem occurs on Android 4.2+ (possibly even 4.0+) where key 226 is bound to code HEADSETHOOK which is turn is intercepted in a weird way in jellybean.

By default, I was not able to have Utter replace Google Search/Now or S-Voice but I did notice that when S-Voice is installed, it overrides Google Search.

I have a hunch that it may be the result of some intents in S-Voice's manifest which I'm not entirely familiar with.

I decrypted S-Voice's apk and got the manifest out... I'm attaching it here.

Does Utter hook up to the same intents ?

Great job by the way ! Looking forward to seeing new features.

Cheers,

MadBeggar

If you use a custom rom like carbon you can set anything you want on the home button (press and longpress)

Nova launcher allows you also to set Utter in the home button but double press only I think.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
he was talking about the headset button, not the home button.. and as far as I've read there's no easy way to override the shortcut to Google now since it's hard coded into the system. Probably Samsung could do it because it had the time and resources to tamper with the OS.. the only workaround i found was editing the generic keyboard and using a third party app to set the new shortcuts

IDEA - LANGUAGE OPTION in message/email Dictation

The one thing that stops me from writing to all the people I know with utter is language.

My circle is spread over 3 languages, French, English and Japanese.

When I use the keyboard and the keyboard voice key to dictate a message using, I would hit that menu button where it says "English" on top of the google voice mic's drawing to select another language.

IF only utter could allow me to select what language I want to use only during the dictation and obviously switch back to English to understand the next command, that would be TOTALY and UTTERLY AWESOME!!!! I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only who would appreciate that function if it was possible!

"Email my wife [in Japanese]"

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm going to look this over again in the morning and get back to you. Little worn out from today. These are some good questions so I want to think with a clear head.

Make it a great night and I'll talk to you tomorrow!
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I wouldn't put the blame entirely on Google regarding this.. maybe it's because i'm not a native speaker, but i don't know the right way to pronounce Utter, so i feel it's bound to get confused with other words, like .. i don't know, Utah? You there? as i said, i don't know the exact pronounciation.

First of all, this is not Utter's fault, the beep is actually Google's, if you try to use Google Dictation you'll hear the same exact beep. So there's not really a workaround for this other than using a different Recognition (I use Samsung's Vlingo, with the original Beep once from Android triggered through Tasker) I usually start talking when the beep sounds, and haven't had any problem with that, unless, of course, something or someone else made a sound that the recognition catches.

I hope none of my opinnions offend you in any way, nor make you feel like i'm disrespectful. I just think that some things you mention aren't to be taken as responsibility of Google or the app itself.

As for the command for killing all running apps and clear most recent list ; maybe using the Create command option in Utter would allow you to do that? I'll take a look on what activities are there for the Task Manager, maybe one of those can do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] Leavard:
I think just getting Utter to run the app Fast Reboot would do the trick. It should just be a Run Application rather than mucking around with Activities.

Although if you do find such an activity, please add it to my Google Doc!

[Android Apps and Games] thomaskid:
I used English UK and it worked.

It's working now, but the problem is I cant seem to kill my current application that i'm using. I can open apps like Facebook using voice command, but not close it. Any ideas on how to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
These are all good responses and what faku1810 has said all makes sense-

The beep is "definitely" Google and nothing more than a notification that gives you the "green light" to speak.

Changing the time out really accomplishes nothing because it's mostly based on "your" internet connection (which can vary widely throughout the day).

There are times when I "do not" receive the beep but instead as you posted ("I'm listening") in the notification bar...you can begin speaking as soon as you see that...it you wait a second or two, then you'll probably time out with the Google server and Utter will return an error.

Bottom line is I don't see any reason for tinkering with these settings as Utter connects far quicker than Google Now, or any other voice assistant that I have tried. I guess what I'm saying is...is if ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thanks faku for taking your time to answer all of these, very much appreciated.:good::highfive:

To all: Make it a great day!!

**Currently there is no feature that will "close" an application for you....

I'm not sure that killing the app is the best idea for any application. Some use the home button, others the back button and so on. I'm not sure the process to "close" applications is the same for every application, so "killing" the app, might cause stability issues? I'm not a programmer, nor developer, so Ben might be our resource for this one...unless anyone else really knows?

Offline Voice Data no longer available from Google?

I was looking at an article today and I saw this. Anyone else read anything or??
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
well those are kinda old news, if i remember well. i recall reading about people that couldn't use offline recognition because hardware wasn't (supposedly) compatible

I think it was possible to overcome the absence of the download option by manually installing the language files in the appropriate folder, so i would tell him to try that and/or downloading an older Google search.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando XDA Premium HD app
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Well, not really old news, cause they couldn't figure out why the offline wouldn't work. That being said, I updated a ROM and had to install Google Search from the Play Store and I no longer have Offline access.

Crazy what Google does sometimes and my phone is over 3 years old...worked great up until the last update.

(sigh)!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
No kidding, i'm a bit Offtopic here, but Google's updates are being crap lately... latest Maps doesn't have support for offline maps nor the ones you save in your google account from the desktop, not to mention they took Latitude which many people seems to have been using... Luckily I had just made a backup before updating, so I rolled back to the previous version, and no more updating for that app.

As for offline recognition, it sucks really. If it worked alright there was no need to take it out. I gave up with mine, i can download the languages but it's no use since the speech recognition will just ignore them. That's one big drawback for apps like Utter that will be affected by the fact you can only use them with a network connection. I'm glad that all the features are enough to make it stand as a much better Voice assistant compared to the others.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
BRAVO!!! Well said.
[Android Apps and Games] psychlist:
Hi G L

I'm not sure whether i've understood your post correctly, and neither am i confident that i can make myself understood properly after the misreadings of my last post (i might try to clear that up some time, but i don't have time right now), but here goes: if i understand you correctly, you do not have a backup copy of a pre-trashed-by-google apk for google search with the language files. If that's the case, you might (i'm not sure) find it useful to visit the thread 'Where are the offline speech recognition files stored?' on xda and look on the first page at Old Faithful's first post of 31 March. There are current (i checked them) links to apks that might solve your problem if i've understood your post correctly. Hope i've read you aright and that this solves your difficulty.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
No big deal...I'm looking at it from a new user experience. I have a backup where everything works, so it's testing really. But why does Google do that kind of stuff?

It's really irritating as it makes it very difficult to help other users which is my primary function here.

It is what it is...just venting a little and I really appreciate you looking out!!!

Make it a great day!
[Android Apps and Games] Mutant:
Utter, please shut up!

I've got a weird problem since I reinstalled utter to get it to work with Tasker. Every time I open my e-mails, it starts read the screen to me. Or is this an accessibility feature gone HAL9000 on me? Can anybody tell me where the off switch is in settings please?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You should have an option in your PHONE settings for accessibility, that's where you should find the toggle to turn screen reading off.

Is Spotify working?

Just wanted to say thanks for this app, Utter is truly awesome!

Thought I would ask as I can't find an answer in the thread, is spotify search working? I see it listed as a command and I also noticed that it was labelled with a [D] for disabled. Does this mean it was implemented but then disabled? I've used the visual feedback and Utter is picking up everything ok (e.g. "spotify search Dire Straits").

Also I tried the "Find my Car" command and noticed that it shows a street view location of where it is but I then couldn't use google maps to navigate to that position, am I doing something wrong.

Again thanks for the great app and I look forward to all the future updates.

Cheers,

I use activities a little bit, but really basic stuff (specific settings shortcuts, ROM related actions like hiding status/nav bar). Didn't think you want the list cluttered up with that. :)

Intents I know nothing about. Are they similar to command line parameters?
[Android Apps and Games] Mutant:
No, I'd already looked there. My Samsung Note II doesn't have a screen reading under accessibility; it has Talkback under Settings -> Accessibility -> Services which is close but was already off. I solved it in the end by turning Talkback on and back off, likewise I toggled the Settings -> Accessibility -> Services -> Utter. This seems to have cleared the problem.

[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:
Guys I'm really keen, however, I'm missing some key steps here - I see splashed about "start the permanent recognition". But HOW?

My intention - to create a Tasker (Profile?) to initialise permanent recognition when my battery is:

On USB Charge

Above 90% charged

I'm keen to do this, and to contribute, but I'm missing some key points.

I've created a profile that identifies and makes a voice announcement when my battery reaches x% charged, but don't get the next bit!

I'd like to use the spreadsheet, but need to learn some more first. I've loaded and studied Ben's files into my Tasker Projects, and have a way to go still. Screen shots would help!
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
That's fairly easy to do...

Profile : State Battery Charge > 90% // Connected to USB

Task: Utter Recognition

A1) Misc / Send Intent (Extra: command:2; Extra: password:****; Package: com.brandall.nutter; Class: com.brandall.nutter.EIH; Targe: Activity)

That's all. Of course you can add some other actions , but as far as starting permanent recognition, it's just that.

Edit: Remember to set the password in Utter, Settings, then slide two screens to the right,

Just curious but has this been finished?

I realise we're well beyond v2.2.7 and was just wondering if this particular guide hadn't been updated or if configuration was still on the to do list?

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

Hi Gbossley,

just thought I'd offer my 2 cents (I use Llama not tasker but figure i'd try and help)

I noticed that in the extra you put command;2 be aware I think it needs to be a ":" not ";"

Also in the package field com.brandall.nutter instead of com.brandall.nutter;

the rest that I can see should be ok,

With Llama the Action field required a "Send Intent" input value

Hope this helps in some way
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Thanks for replying so accurately, boh :highfive: indeed those are the only mistakes in the task, the Action field in Tasker can remain blank since you choose the Send Intent before getting to that config screen :)

As for your own question, if you're talking about the Guide, i'd venture to say it's not finished, otherwise it would have been updated already; however you can indeed use the Create command option to associate certain terms or orders decided by you, to certain tasks that are offered to you in said option as well. I've tested it with a couple of Tasker tasks (namely, play my music) and they work.

I use an app called Bluetooth Launch. It will allow you to change the search button on your headset to any app action. Also I use an app called JAYS Headset to set a launch app command when I double press play on my cara stereo. PM for questions if you want.
[Android Apps and Games] boh113:
Yay so I did get something right! :)

I only asked if create commands had been finished as i'm trying to get utter to execute a Llama task and so far have been unsuccessful. I think the trick lies somewhere in the syntax of extra data. ie/ long press on the launcher item and have extra data values. been scratching my head on how to get it right.

From utter! > create command > Launch Activity > Llama > long press Llama(.LauncherShortcutRunnerActivity) ... and from here I've tried several different combinations for Optional action / Optional Data as well as throwing in LAUNCHER and ACTION_XXX combinations.

Using LlamaType:Event and LlamaData:EVENTNAME (Music in this case, the name of the task/event). Have also tried using com.kebab.LlamaRunShortcut in the Optional Activity as suggested by entropicAlchemist.

Driving myself a little crazy trying to figure this one out. Like entropicAlchemist I can call the event from Tasker, and from utter I get a blank screen. I do believe its possible ...

A side note I purchased Tasker but have found that it causes my XZ to crash and a bluetooth and wifi to switch on and off sporadically hence why I'm trying so hard to get Llama to play nice.

From the Llama FAQ:

I want to invoke Llama from the command line. How do I do that?

You need to have some event defined that runs some actions, possibly setting a Llama variable. Then try this something like:

adb shell am start -a com.kebab.Llama.RunShortcut -n 'com.kebab.Llama/com.kebab.Llama.LauncherShortcutRunnerActivity' -e LlamaType Event -e LlamaData EVENTNAME
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
This bit can be done if you create a task in Tasker with a run console action, no profile needed, then you Create a command in utter to launch that task. Maybe send intent would work too

However, i understand you'd prefer to launch it directly, so i'll get llama and see what can be done.

On the other hand, tasker shouldn't affect your system settings without a reason, you sure there’s no profile active doing so?

[Android Apps and Games] boh113:
Thanks faku that would be great.

When I first noticed the issues I uninstalled both Llama and Tasker thinking maybe there's was a conflict between the programs but still had issues once I put tasker on by itself.

With tasker I tried turning all tasks off individually but still had issues, deleted all tasks still had issues, once I disabled tasker everything went back to normal.

So I figured if I'd go back to running just llama for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Giot:
I have an issue that I just noticed. I hadn't tried using utter in a little bit but I tried again today and it bugged out/isnt working. The only thing I can think of that changed was that I upgraded to SoundAbout Pro (currently on their most up to date beta version).

When I press my button which is supposed to start utter listening, I hear the "How can I help you ... " but utter doesn't listen for a response. It shuts off immediately. If I activate the wake phrase I can say the wake phrase, utter acknowledges that I said something, but doesn't listen for a response and shuts off the active listening.

I read through the trouble shooting and restarted my phone several times. I used tasker and ATK to stop utter and stop SoundAbout, still nothing works. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Never mind. I uninstalled SoundAbout, the beta version, and utter now works properly. So there is something going on between the two apps. I will post on their forums as well to let them know...

Stupid question maybe but did you set up that same password in utter?
