I just tested that theory for you, but I don't get your result. My system is fine now. I've turned notification on/off and utter! stays 'on' in accessibility settings.

---------- Post added at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Do you have the problem with every type of notification, or just a few specific types?
[Android Apps and Games] hannibalmoot:
Hmm, I must have a problem in my own settings somewhere then beçause everytime I disable and then enable notifications, I have to turn utter back on in Accessibility. I wonder if it has something to do with the recent addition of the Android L "Heads Up" app I threw on to try.

I only have it set to pick up notifications in full screen cause it drove me nuts to have it on all the time. I didnt like the way it completely dismisses notifications when you slide it cause I need it out of the way but I may not necessarily be done with it. It removes it from the notification drop down as well. If you try, you'll know what i mean.

It would be good if someone else tried Heads Up as well just in case its going to become a future problem for Ben and utter. Just a possibility. Might be something else I have going on as well.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
From day one, I've had a similar issue on stock 4.0.4. I reported it early on in this thread. My workaround, is to automatically ENABLE the accessibility setting each time my device is unlocked, using Tasker.

Feature requests:

-Ability to manually set location (I'm getting a response of "Sorry, but I couldn't access any recent location data for you" when I ask "What is the weather?" This is because I have all location reporting disabled for security purposes). I do know I can just add the words, "..in Toronto" to get a real response.

-Ability to create custom commands manually (without using my voice). This would speed up/increase accuracy without having to re-edit commands after the creation of new commands for the power users.

-Ability to duplicate commands/phrases from the Edit Commands section. This would help speed up creation of multiple indentical commands that have different trigger words- e.g. I might want to say "FB" or "Facebook" to launch the facebook bookmark.

-Ability to toast Visual Results

In the demo video Ben creates custom commands only by voice.

You can create custom commands manually, which I agree is much better for accuracy. In the utter app, click on 'customization', then 'replace words' . It's a bit misleading, but this is where we actually make custom commands. Maybe [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] should rename that button :)

Samsung galaxy gear

Hi guys n gals,

Has anybody tried using utter with a Samsung galaxy gear watch? I'm interested to know if it's possible to communicate with Utter, just with the watch :)
[Android Apps and Games] Artimis:
Yes, I have it installed on my galaxy gear running null ROM. Installing offline voice packs and some Xposed modules to make it work better was a bit of a challenge. For the most part it works but it is slow. Some of the problems I have had are:

1) It says it is sending a text message to someone but it never actually does....it's possible that this is due to the fact that I am still running Android 4.1.2 on my phone which is not officially supported by the gear. My gear does have tablet talk installed (which is the only way I can get SMS/MMS notifications on the gear using 4.1.2) so I was hoping it would use that but it doesn't.

2) Permanent recognition does not work well. I've occasionally gotten it to work when bluetooth tethered to my phone and my phone is on wifi. However, most of the time the recognizer hangs so i avoid permanent recognition mode.

3) Even though I have offline voice recognition packs installed and use an Xposed module that is supposed to prevent voice input from connecting to google servers to process voice input, it still hangs from time-to-time on "fetching from google servers". I wish utter hand an option to explicitly use offline voice recognition and never try to connect to google servers.

Alternatively, you could run Utter on the phone and check the "auto-connect BT headset" option in the poweruser settings. This will cause the utter on the phone to speak out of the speaker on the watch and use the mic on the watch to respond. The audio quality is terrible though. It's better to run utter locally on the watch.
[Android Apps and Games] nehuy:
Wich Xposed module is that?

I have used this guide to get the offline packages of google and changed everything I needed to change, but it keeps saying me that network connection has been lost.
[Android Apps and Games] Artimis:
Yes, I followed that guide to get the offline voice packages as well (and made sure to reboot and clear cache/dalvik cache after setting the permissions in /data/data.... as well). As far as the Xposed module, I'm using "GoogleOfflineVoice" which is supposed to prevent the device from connecting to google services to process voice input.....it doesn't always work but does speed things up a bit. In utter, make sure that you have set the native recognition language (settings -> advanced) correctly as well as the english voice engine under the main settings tab.

As far as speech output, make sure Google Synthesised Voice is disabled in Utter settings and that you have downloaded a language pack for the Google Text-to-speech engine.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Thanks for the great info. Having tried it properly, would you say that using utter with a galaxy gear watch is a 'no-brainer- can't believe I didn't have this before', or just a 'so-so, whatever' ?

[Android Apps and Games] Artimis:
I was really hoping for the former but lately feeling the later.

I'm going to continue doing performance tweaks on the galaxy gear though so that I can come back later and say it was a no-brainer and everyone should do it :). I have no doubts that it will get better as the app improves as well.
[Android Apps and Games] nehuy:
Is there any command you can make to un-lock the phone? I mean instead of sliding your finger with perma recognition activated.

Lik "wake up" "unlcok".
[Android Apps and Games] lightningdude:
Tasker helps with this. Make a custom task command, linked to a task that unlocks the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] nehuy:
I have tried to make it with secure settings pluging and task killer, but the phone just wont unlock :x (when I wake up utter, the screen lights on).

What I'm trying to accomplish is to unlock the phone (make it go home) when I have the security setting in "slide".

I'm using lg p712 (optimus l7 II) with android 4.1.2.
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
I use SkipLock. Well worth the money. I believe it was $4.99. You have to unlock the first time you re-connect to wi-fi or bluetooth, but that's better for security. :good:

What are the commands for music playback? E.g. next song, previous song, pause/play and so on? I've tried a whole bunch of words, but nothing seems to work. Do I have to configure them all manually via tasker, or is there a better way of doing this? Maybe a simple to use plugin or something like that?

My mistake, I haven't used that command on my phone in a while. I had it set up to unlock WidgetLocker, which works perfectly. I'd say my wake up phrase, then say "unlock," then it would do so.
[Android Apps and Games] vientito:
observable difference between online & offline usage

I have been playing around with the latest market version a little bit and noticed something unusual. Whenever I turn off the wifi, the assistant seems to sound in a louder voice but the recognition performance has suffered noticeably. I can very reliably pull up some of the contacts while I am online. However offline behaviour seems to be not as reliably. Once I even got a case where the visual results show the right phrase I have uttered and yet it goes for a different contact record. My contacts are in sync with my gmail contacts at all time except when it is offline so I am sure the information is good.

From what I have been reading, the recognition engine is the same no matter if they are offline or online so I am questioning why wifi is giving me much more reliable results?
[Android Apps and Games] nehuy:
You can also do the same with tasker, but this isn't wat I'm looking for, thanks anyway.

I will try with the widgetlocker then :)

Bad thing is I have stock rom, and with utter and google voices I only have 100mb left of free ram.

What configurations do you have to get utter use your offline voice recognition?

[Android Apps and Games] hannibalmoot:
Well, I think Google did a good number on utter with it's latest Search update. Now, the auto-listen rarely works, "Ok Google" doesn't work at all, and it wont let me change the new Google settings for answering on any screen.

I use Nova Launcher that also has the built in Google Now on any screen that also no longer works. I haven't tried it yet but I imagine all of utters background processes will have to be killed to allow Google Now to work again. The "Ok Google" command will not even work from the search page with utter running.

Leave it to Google to mess up a good thing. I was loving how utter would seamlessly drop out and restart when you wanted to use Google Now but that seems to be broke.

Anybody else confirm this with new Google update?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
1. I use Nova too and you can uncheck the box in settings for the Google Now.

2. Open Google Search, go into "settings" and make sure that your "default" language is English-US...otherwise the recognition won't start.(Once you do that, you should see the settings to activate the command under "Voice")

3. I've noticed that the update has pretty much killed my use of the bluetooth headset with Utter. (If I uncheck the bluetooth in Google Now...it's ok, but if checked it seems to hog the connection...SIGH)

4. I have yet to try permanent recognition since the update
[Android Apps and Games] vientito:
still struggling to figure this out

I have been experimentating for a few more days and still going nowhere. I have a Moto G device with "voice search" already installed by default. The offline language pack is English (US) preinstalled.

The device is offline (since I know the online performance is normal). I test utter! and "voice search" side by side. Everytime I speak a name in contact. Google voice search is getting it 100%, while utter! consistently fails to do so.

Here's my configuration:

Language & input - English (united states)

spell checker (on)

Google voice typing (on)

voice search settings

Language default - English (US)

speech output (on)

offline speech recognition (1) english (UK) (2) English (US) pre-installed

audio history (off)

google text-to-speech (on)

default language status - english (US)

utter! settings:

english voice engine - eng-usa

google synthesized voice - off

confirm before dialling - on

native recognition language - english (canada)

If I turn my wifi to go online, utter! is doing perfect

turn it off and it will do worse than voice search
[Android Apps and Games] trein91:

I've lost the network connection! (No, not really)

I have noticed that as well. Permanent recognition isn't quite as permanent as it should be. It seems that it has to turn itself off and on again to allow certain functions to happen, like receiving a call, and it just doesn't turn itself back on all the time. I kind of worked around it with a Tasker profile that start PR whenever I unlock the screen. Not perfect, but it helps.

My main complaint right now is that it's always announcing that it's lost the network connection. I'm not sure whats triggering it, because it never seems to actually lose the WiFi connection or the 3G, and especially not both at the same time. It seems to run fine and I can't tell where anything actually fails, it just makes the lost network announcement randomly.

I've tried turning off account notifications but it didn't help. I have to put the phone on silent mode when I go out in public or it will go off randomly in my pocket. I just want to turn off that one annoying announcement.

Even if there is a blip in the network connection, I don't need to hear about it every time. It's not like I can do anything about it. If it really did lose the network connection I'll discover that soon enough when something fails to work and I see the dark WiFi icon in the status bar.

I running Android 4.0.4 on a Huawei-H867G. I have several Tasker profiles and tasks called from utter, and a Cereproc TTS Scottish English voice named Heather. (Not sure if any of that is relevant, but just in case the Dev wants to know.)

BTW: I bought you (brandall) lunch the other day. Utter is totally worth that and more.

Great app when online it is working perfectly but when offline google is giving me wrong commands. It also consumes much memory around 100mb but this okay for high end devices. utter also force closes sometimes

Replace "Wake Up" with "Hello Hal"

While in Permanent Recognition, I would like to replace "Start Listening" with "Hello Hal". I have tried settings-> advanced->wake up configuration and put in a wake-up phrase but this doesn't appear to work. Utter only recognizes "Wake Up" after I say "Start Listening" to put it in Permanent Recognition. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Love the app and have "bought a beer"...
[Android Apps and Games] NWKENT:
Yeah..I'm having the same troubles..the video shows the one using " Hello"..but I can never get anything to work except "wake up" which seems to be default.!

Start Listening, Permanent Recognition, and Wake up - oh my.

It's not a bug. I think part of the problem is the terminology. Start Listening, Permanent Recognition, Wake up. They make it easy to confuse the modes in which utter operates.

The idea is that you would start permanent recognition and leave it on all the time. Forever. Permanently. And then you can put utter into "command acceptance" mode, with just a single voice command, a wake up phrase. (just made that term up, command acceptance, it means utter is actively listening for some speech, waiting for one on the many commands from the long list.)

PR only done one thing, and accepts only one command, the wake up phrase. It's only function is to allow you to get utter ready to accept other commands by using your wake up phrase. You are not supposed to turn on PR every time you use utter and then turn it off again. That defeats the purpose of PR.

The other method to use to put utter into "command acceptance" mode is to create a shortcut. Go to Settings, swipe left for advanced settings, and tap Custom Launcher Shortcut. This creates a new shortcut on your home screen. Tapping that shortcut will make utter start listening for speech so you can give it a specific command. It performs the same function that the wake up phrase does when PR is turned on.

The phrases that will start PR are not configurable. They are "Start Listening" and "Wake Up" and also "Okay Google" if you have 4.1 or higher. That's it. You can also start it by tapping the menu option "Wake-up Phrase" under settings. Again, that's confusing, since that menu item should be called "Permanent Recognition" instead.

The phrase to put utter into command acceptance mode once PR is up and running is configurable. That's under Settings, swipe left for advanced, and tap "Wake-up Configuration". The phrase and response here is where you would put "Hello Hal" and let utter respond with "I'm sorry I can't do that, Dave", or whatever you want.

You can also configure the response when utter is put into command acceptance mode with the shortcut instead of the wake up phrase. That's under Customization, Custom Intro. It would be less confusing if that were on the same menu as the PR wake up phrase and called something like "Shortcut Wake Up Response".

My wake up phrase is "Hey Heather" (yes, I named my assistant), and utter responds with "I'm here." and then starts listening for a command. If I leave PR turned on like it meant to be, then I can pick up my phone at any time a say "Hey Heather", and she responds. I then wait for a second until I feel the little vibration that let's me know it ready, and then I give her a command, like "What's the weather."

I hope that clears some of it up for you. It is a great app, and it has so much potential to be a really groundbreaking virtual assistant. Even in beta with a lot of rough edges it's still the best on the market for Andriod, I think. Especially when coupled with Tasker.

Is there a way to revert back to the version before the one that is currently on Play Store? I can't find a link to it now in this thread. That version worked better over bluetooth for me.
[Android Apps and Games] dccrens:
Thanks. This is what I am trying to do and yes, i did know the difference. I have mine set up as you do. With PR up and running when I say "Hello Hal", nothing happens. But, if I say "Wake Up", Utter responds with "Yes Dave" and enters command acceptance mode; waiting for me to give it a command. If I do not have PR running, I can hit the home screen widget and say "Start Listening" and this puts it in PR mode. Again, if I then say "Wake Up" it works, enters command acceptance mode and listens for a command. But, If I say "Hello Hal", it doesn't do anything.

Seems like a bug to me.

Utter! and Tasker to use "Yes" or "No" to launch app

On another topic.

I am looking for a concise way to use Utter to set a variable in Tasker. I have a driving mode profile the activates when I get in the car. It does several things but one thing I want it to do, is to ask me if I want to launch waze. I want to be able to say "Yes" or "No". If I say yes, set a tasker variable YESNO to a value of 1 or if I say no, set the variable YESNO to 2. I can then check the value and if "1" launch Waze and continue with the other actions.

However, I haven't found any good examples to something like this and haven't' yet figured it out. Anyone have any suggestions?

The only bad thing I can see about Utter (and Tasker) so far is... I am going to get addicted to using them!!!:D
