Hi all,

I've now got tasker & utter! Working at same time but when trying to create a command launching a tasker task utter! Says 'there was an error communicating with tasker' I also get same error when trying to link the tasker app in 'linked apps ' which I find strange as I have the interactive sms task set up in tasker and that works fine! Any ideas? Thanks in advance.... Running 5.0

Edit... I backed up utter! Cleared cache & data, uninstalled, restarted phone and reinstalled utter! All working fine now... Thanks a lot Ben, back to having the most awesome app ever!!

+1 for headset support, and the beep.

I have a unique use case, and hence probably a unique issue. I control my phone via utter! through a bluetooth headset when on my motorbike. I can't actually hear any output from utter! unless it comes through the headset, and I can't see the phone, so rely on that beep to know when to speak. Thing is, I *never* get the beep in the headset, so it's always a shot in the dark as to when to speak. I usually count to 3 after utter! speaks before I issue commands, and most of the time it works, but not always.

The other issue I have is that the audio quality of utter! is shocking in the headset with 'Auto connect headset' enabled (it's really good without). Unfortunately I need to use this option, or it won't listen to the headset microphone. I suspect the audio quality is bad in both directions - I hear crackling and distortion through the speakers, and suspect the microphone side is bad as I often have to repeat commands (even when not moving) that it has no trouble detecting when I don't use the headset. Audio quality in both directions is perfect on a phone call, even at 100+km/h, and I have no issues using the internal voice controls of the headset.

I'd be more than happy to be a test case for you, if you like!
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
Once you have unchecked auto connect headset in Utter go into google now>settings>voice and check Bluetooth Headset records audio through bluetooth headset if available. This should fix you up.
[Android Apps and Games] thomasando:
Doesn't work I'm afraid. I always get 'sorry but I didn't hear any speech'. Funny thing is it DOES work if I do it directly in google now (except for the fact that I have to manually make it listen).
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for all of the replies folks :good:

Wolfram Alpha is the best for Q&A - I've added it back on the list. I had a nightmare with them last time: They wanted utter! to announce every 5 commands that it was powered by them and place notifications etc.... I'll get back in contact with them and see if they've chilled!

If you're running Jelly Bean or higher - Check this link for instructions

Not easily. I'll add exposing more commands to the suggestions list :good:

Multiple commands is definitely something I want to build, both via voice and externally. It's complex though... On the list!

Glad you got it sorted. I really hoped that when Google prevented multiple permissions in Lollipop they had also fixed the install order permissions issue - the didn't....................... Unbelievable.................. The work around is to install the same version over the top of your current version - so clicking on the APK in a file explorer should have done the trick. I've got some code written to get utter! to reinstall itself, so that'll be in the next test build :good:

Thanks for your support :good: I've added this case to the to-do list. I grab the headset before Google has a chance to send the beep via it, so there's the issue - I'll ask them if they have a solution for this. Very briefly, the main problem is utter! grabbing and releasing the headset. A 'hog' function would work, but prevent other apps from interaction. I'll work it out somehow.

------------------------

Thanks again for your feedback and support. It's good to be back working on utter! I've missed it so much!! :victory:

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] i did a clean install of lollipop 5.0 installed tasker then utter test build having mo problems at all now even restored data from the playstore build with titanium backup and everything works great
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Hi [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] . Would it be possible to have an 'always listening only while screen is on' option? This would save battery, and it would be cool to know that my assistant is listening whenever I'm using the phone.

Also, is it possible to add a command to keep the screen on? This would be great while driving. Cheers mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
You could use tasker to complete these actions and a lot more using utter in the meantime?

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

I've been searching all day on & off for this but no joy so far! I'm sure I'll crack it using plugins, tasks etc (edit coming up fingers crossed) but this might be a great profile to integrate in to utter! Anyways....

I use the sms interactive via utter/tasker... After utter! Reads text to me I would like it to either listen for a command (reply to text) or ask if I would like to reply? I think I can get this far but I need to get utter to 'send a text to...' the text that has just come in?

I know the command 'send a text to..' works great but I would like it to be more smooth, conversational etc

I presume the code in this command is something I need along with %SMSRN maybe? Or get utter to launch tasker task 'send text to %SMSRN.... Ask utter for content'....

Mmmm more playing coming up!

Any help, cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Problem is that my phone is stock Android, not rooted, so tasker won't allow me to use the screen 'stay on' feature.

It would be great if you could solve the puzzle of getting utter to 'ask to reply' to text messages. I feel that it's an important feature that's sorely lacking. Keep us posted :)
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Wood hoodoo! Finally got there (dirty though lol!)

I can now get utter to use tasker to reply to a incoming text!

First of all we use bens smsU-interactive, I've added a 4 second wait at the beginning of that sequence to allow for my notification tone. The all you need to do is add "do you want to reply" (or whatever you like) to the custom phrase that's linked to this task and tick 'start listening' so it should be something like:-

Utter! - customisation - custom phrase - (top line)yes, please reply. - (bottom line) %smsdata, do you want to reply? - tick 'start listening'

Now create a custom command for a tasker task. Name "yes, please reply' link this to below task (I've named mine 'reply to text'.

The below attached xml is a mix of bens '%tosay' command, tasker 'say' input/variables/'get voice' task/if&else/'get voice'etc plus a bit of mine & utters witty banter!!

Play around at hearts content, I've put in a loop so it will repeat if doesn't hear your speech properly, it calls me Mike occasionally and I think I get utter to swear at 1 point so you might want to change these haha.

I'm sure there must be a smoother way of doing this using a lot more utter! Than 'get voice' as I believe would be better. If Ben could tell me what the %variable is when you say to utter "send Text To xxxxx" she says "what do you want to say" we can grab this content and use variable set to pass to custom phrases etc but we also need to know how to trigger utter to listen for text content only. I'm sure [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] will do this wink wink nudge nudge.

I've been sending texts to myself and getting stuck on a loop with myself all day testing it and seems to work ok.

Hope you enjoy :)

Edit:- I can't attach a xml.... Mmmmm hang on

Ok for some reasom the exported xml is an invalid file to attach from PC??

Ill send some screens and if you have questions go for broke :-0

Edit(464!) - Thanks [MENTION=1989457]themadproducer[/MENTION], I've Zipped the .xml and attached for you all.....Let me know what you think and if it can be improved etc....only a newb here :)

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] or anyone who knows?

When composing new text through utter! Using 'send Text To....' etc if I don't proof read I do not send signature ('by voice, using utter!) but if I do proof read the signature is there?

Also figured out how to play all my G music playlist's using utter/tasker/autoshortcut... They actually play without pressing phone.

Let me know if anyone wants screens/xml etc

When I enter the voice tutorial of the app, the beginning is fine, until it need me to say "Hello, .....". the Google voice recognition crush and ring repeatedly. Hope you can fix it soon, if you have any question, just quote my message!
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Can you check that you have updated to the latest version of the Google Now app.
[Android Apps and Games] mistermentality:
On my gb 2.3.5 lg P920 nutter always tells me it recognises android system in my root command but says it has not found a command to process so no matter what I say root functions do not work despite nutter showing in its text the command I just issued.

I can also confirm the problem reported by someone earlier where an error is given if you ask for the time in places with two words such as new delhi or new york.

[Android Apps and Games] riskaa:
I'm a bit of a newb, so i have to ask. What is the difference between reboot bootloader and reboot? I understand reboot recovery...but not the difference between the first two.

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] IAmAN00bie:
Reboot will reboot you back into Android. Reboot bootloader boots you into the bootloader, where you can boot into recovery, use fastboot tools, or flash another recovery/radios/splash screen (etc.).
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'm not here! Nope... taking a break ;)

This will DEFINITELY happen - a fundamental of utter! Just experimenting with the best ways to store the associated voice commands.

Noted, thanks - I've got some ideas of how to make this work, but quite far down the to-do list. Want to focus on some other alpha features tests before I polish everything up.

You've probably booted into bootloader many times already through the rooting process. The bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to flash a custom ROM. Boot into bootloader and have a glance - you'll probably recognise it. Reboot is just a plain 'restart' of the device.

If you're still using the root version that's kicking around, please do make sure you have a recent Nandroid - although the commands run are very harmless, when doing anything with root access it's always better to be safe than sorry... :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Just to confirm, you are saying for example "Android system, reboot recovery" in one complete sentence?

But it's saying it detected no further command? And you can see the above in the world list?
[Android Apps and Games] mistermentality:
I made a schoolboy error, embarrasingly. On my phone when it spoke the possible commands it pauses on the commands so it sounded like "android system reboot, boatloader" I just re checked as I was therefore saying "android system reboot" and "android system recovery" but it did work when I said "android system reboot bootloader" so it was human error not nutter error on this occasion. Sorry about that.

Dave
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Anything that isn't a (n)utter error is good news to me! :)
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Been kinda slow to test since I've been trying to study, but on my tablet (now back in Gingerbread instead of Honeycomb), it just says "I'm feeling sleepy" and doesn't do anything. It does recognize the commands, though. While I'm on the topic of Gingerbread, I'll go ahead and mention that the tabs are messed up for me, too. All the tabs are squished into the viewing area, so Bluetooth and Contacts are cutoff, unlike on my phone.

On my phone, reboot and reboot recovery work great, but reboot bootloader just reboots the system as normal. This may have something to do with the fact that I have a Motorola with their tightly locked bootloader, as manually choosing the option through my ROM's reboot menu doesn't make it go into the bootloader, either. Not really a huge issue for me, personally, since the only reason I'm in the bootloader is if I need to SBF, in which case I more than likely can't access the main system anyway.

I did notice that utter! doesn't even finish the "I'm feeling sleepy" sentence on my phone. It gets to "I'm fee" and the phone shuts off.

Oh, one question. Any plans to have the UI rotate when the device rotates?

Enjoy your break!
[Android Apps and Games] superbeak:
This is gonna be so great for ,my tablet! Thanks brandall:-)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for confirming - I changed some of the code from the test version I released to make it better - It appears it didn't make it better, it actually stopped it working on some devices! Oops... I'll return to the original code when I put the root functions back in.

Can you still scroll across to the tabs that are cutoff?? Still looking for a solution for the problem that works with all Android Versions.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention - I don't have a Motorola device, so would never have known. Does the device have a 'fastboot' option in the Android settings? If so, and it's ticked, would you be able to try it with it un-ticked please? Cheers.

You must have a fast and clean device :) I'll change it to pause the instruction until it finishes speaking. Thanks.

No plans for the UI rotate I'm afraid - The alpha UI appearance is right down there on list... utter! will of course look NOTHING like (n)utter! does at present - I just wanted to get the code in there to test as quick as possible.. Enjoyed the break thanks! But good to be back...

I hope so! :eek:

[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Well, there's nothing to scroll to, because all the tabs are squeezed onto the viewing area. The tabs where the words are cut off don't scroll. See the picture. On my phone (ICS), I think either 3 or 4 tabs display at a time, and I can scroll back and forth to the other ones.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any fastboot option. I change ROMs from time to time, so if I come across one in a future ROM, I will try it and let you know.

It won't win any speed records (an almost 2 year old Motorola Droid Pro), but it's snappy enough for me. :)

Hey, no worries. Like I've said before, I'm hoping I won't have to actually touch the UI much once the thing is configured, and even if I have to flip to portrait view to configure something every once in a while, it's not a big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I've actually no idea yet! It'll be done by a proper experienced designer though...

I would have been impressed if it had worked in Spanish! :D Just about to post an update with the root functions changed. Please let me know!

Thanks for the screenshot - I'll have a ponder - Just can't replicate in the emulator, so limited to how I can test fixes without giving you 10 different apks! It's too time consuming to do it that way too, before you kindly offer :)

Thanks. I think perhaps it is just a Motorola thing - anyone else report the same with a Motorola?

Certainly is snappy! I'll add in to execute it at the end of the speech once I've got the commands working - I've added a 'pause' for now in the interim.

I'm hoping too!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V1.8.5A up! Root functions back in.

Hi folks, I've changed the way the root functions are executed, so hopefully they will work on all different devices now.

Android system, reboot

Android system, reboot recovery

Android system, reboot bootloader

Let me know and I'll get stick it on the front page and back on the Play Store...

Only thing I can suggest is export any utter commands you have & backup to cloud, clear cache, clear data, force stop, uninstall, restart phone and re-install latest test build. Check to see if working before restoring cloud or exported data.

I know there gave been reported issues like your facing but I thought they'd been worked out in latest test!?

Good luck :)

Play GMusic playlists ..... I'm still playing around with this as still a bit glitchy!

-Kill GMusic app (root)(to clear previous s played etc)

-Wait 5 seconds (for kill to work)

-auto shortcut (choose plsylist)

-wait 6 secs (for shortcut to work)

-input select, dpad, play-simulated only (untick simulated only)

-input select, dpad, down

-input select, dpad, press

-wait 2 secs

-Kill app (root)

-input select, button, back (twice)

That's it, this works in landscape aswell but always starts playlist at beginning.

I used to use tasker 'run shell command' and input x & y axis to simulate a screen press (turn on pointer touch in dev options to get these) which means you could literally do anything you want in any app but as soon as app changes, location of buttons change!! You would also have to either have to have a 'if' or force rotation as buttons in different places depending on orientation!

I have this issue too, but thought it was due to my use case and some of the other issues I'm having with a bluetooth motorcycle headset. Utter asking to repeat the command, or maybe having the logic inverted ("Is it ok to send?" so that you say 'yes'), would be good. It seems to me that 'yes' might be better able to cut through ambient noise than no, as it has a more distinct sound.

[Android Apps and Games] AdeTheux:
I'm trying Utter out after using OpenMic for quite some time. So far so great but one thing I haven't bee able to configure is the "always-on" mode: allowing the device to listen to commands constantly so you can just say "something" and it will do the action immediately. I use my Nexus as a home server, so saying "lights on" is handier than having to unlock the device.

Does this exist on Utter?

Thanks

I was having trouble with google since I updated my Note 4 (N910K) to 5.01 last week, so I've been looking for a replacement since, tried Tasker w/AutoVoice, Maluuba and a few others. Then I came across Utter earlier today, what a revelation, brilliant app, the Voice Tutorial had me enthralled, pretty witty in places too. This thing has got potential written all over it.

One hassle I did have was installing from GPlay (505 error), but when I found the download link HERE, installing straight from my file manager worked wonderfully.
