I dont worry about the phone to head thing. My FLYER (GSM +BTooth; using MaxDroid ROM) is my phone and it doesnt have a ear speaker ..lol

Anyway not an issue. Sometimes one actually doesn't want confirmations like a silent place or something like that.(may be a button like "Zip Utter's Mouth" would be good for many :laugh:)

Well i tried that 4 times. 2 times (when flyer was bit far from Speakers, it did the same "Sorry , can;t understand"

But later it said the "Can't structure" . I have found that cant structure is usually when command is right but there is some minor issue.

Anyway, will check again.

Another query, Can't we have the offline version for GB & HC etc ?

As someone said, it would have been great if utter had some personal word recognition too.Say In case of contacts (usually of non english; local language) It gets problematic. Something like Recording a phrase/word in normal voice 4-5 times. Then utter interpolates or something and stores that as a word for a command. (I just read so many bad rated comments @ app store mainly on that issue)

Hi Ben,

One thing holding up my use of Utter! at the moment is that when connected to my car, it uses the phone microphone and not my built in car mic. I have done a bit of research and it seems that it should be quite easy to implement --

The logic would be as follows:

Then again, this method looks a lot easier, using the bluetooth headset class Android reference (api 11+)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Good Morning.

Bluetooth code has been added and will connect to some devices. However, taming it to work with all headsets, etc., will take a little time. The developer as you know has plans for a car mode that should address your question.:)

In short, it's just a matter of time.

Thanks!

Weird what you've got going on with the Alarm setting. Hopefully we'll get it figured out.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
That's cool! I recently took the plunge with a little urging and rooted my HTC EVO 4G and now have JB 4.2.1

My OLD Evo runs better now than it ever has. JB is a nice ROM and it is a little bit of a learning curve, but you should really enjoy it!!! :cool:

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Totally agree with the above!

Offline beta would go very well with my data-less HD2 (Tytung's JB v1.3a) That would allow me to test it outside my home :)

One issue I have, by the way on TF101 is that 'show me the weather' doesn't work right. Utter! says I don't have any app, but I have Weatherbug installed. ah.. bug?

Could you enable the visual results in the Advanced Settings please and see what Google is hearing?

Offline is only supported in Jelly Bean by Google... There's no good alternative for lower OS versions I'm afraid...

Have you tried word replacements and nicknames? These should work well for you with unusual contact names and phrases Google doesn't get right?

Thanks for the links :good: I'll check them out.

Glad you did :D

Drop me an email using the 'send feedback' option in the app if you want to get involved :good:

I need to change the response to this, sorry. I've contacted a few weather apps, but they've ignored me. It would be so simple for them to allow me to pass a location to them........ At the moment, there are no compatible apps without a hack which I couldn't publish.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

I've found an amazing app which will render, in my opinion, wave to wake redundant and solves a big problem of in car activation for me.

GMD gesture control, allows you to launch shortcuts or tasker tasks from a gesture on any screen. I have set a double screen tap and two finger swipe to activate utter. £3 for the full version but worth it!
[Android Apps and Games] bradpitcher:
I guess I am one of the unlucky ones with a device that isn't working yet. Is there anything I can do to help debug the problem? Some logs I can gather?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Bargain! Although I think there might be a few custom launchers that already do that....?

Can you tell me more about your problem and I'll get it working for you :good:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.1B up!

Hey folks, this release was a mad rush!

What's new you ask?

OFFLINE MODE FOR ALL JELLY BEAN DEVICES! WHOOP!

That's right, you don't even need root....

1) Go to the Play Store and update your Google Search application

2) Go to the Android Voice Search Settings and download the English offline recognition files

3) Reboot

4) Switch your device to aeroplane mode and try some commands!

The offline recognition is not as accurate of course, but it still does a pretty good job. It also seems to improve with usage too, which I don't really understand the possibility of...?

Shutdown

In the Power User settings, there is a shutdown button, which kills the app, turns it off permanently and releases the memory resource. If it works ok, I'll add it in as a command and external intent to use from Tasker.

Bug fixes and speed improvements

Nothing worth mentioning, but I hope you are noticing the app getting snappier and snappier....

Right, I think I best have a 20 minute nap...

Grab the release from the Play Store!

EDIT: Added apk as an attachment for those that don't have access to the Play Store - If you do, please do download it from there so I get automated bug reports. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] IAmAN00bie:
Whoa! Outting it already? Awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
No time like the present! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Glad to see you got it to work Ben. :highfive:

Happy for, and jealous of, all those that can use it off line. :D

On the bright side, by the time the jelly bean update comes for my gear, the off line recognition should be bug free and working like a charm. :D

Thanks in advance to all of you that will make it so..:victory:

Nope no option to download, tried changing system language to US but still nothing, all very odd?
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
open Google Now, scroll to the bottom, click the (3 dots) menu button, select voice(?), and download offline files from this menu (cant remember exactly as I dont have my Nexus with me).
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Working great for me too!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Jamalsid:
Some older devices simply don't allow offline voice recognition using Google Now, like my Nexus S for example.
[Android Apps and Games] bradpitcher:
Hi Ben.

The problem I'm having is that utter! only hears me using the phone microphone and seems to ignore the bluetooth microphone. I've noticed that google voice search and dragon dictation both have the same issue, however I am able to use the bluetooth microphone just fine for phone calls so the microphone definitely does work. Am I missing something? Some setting I need to change? I'm using a MyTouch 4g with Dark Unicorn Resurrected v. 2.5 and a Kinivo stereo bluetooth headset.
[Android Apps and Games] Vecors:
Great proyect!

I would be pleased to help you translating to spanish once you fix bugs
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I don't think you're missing anything as Ben had only entered a few lines of code for BT connectivity. The A2DP that you use for calls of course is integrated usually with the phone's bluetooth. Utter will need some coding in order for it to "hear" and communicate with the device. This should be coming of course and would imagine it will be integrated with the "driving mode" at the latest, but hopefully before as many users have asked for it.

The Offline project was pretty important and now that it's in the works and maybe after some bug fixes Ben will continue to implement the other requested features.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Milerpa:

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Everything is a works in progress and the developer can make leaps and bounds when he has the free time. Utter is quite an extensive project so please keep up the reports and your testing. Very much appreciated.

**Forgot, but Ben received device with JB 4.2.2 and had to download. So, I'm sure he'll get you through it when he comes online. It was a big deal getting the Offline onto the Play Store so I think he worked through the night.
[Android Apps and Games] bradpitcher:
Thanks for the info. I guess "driving mode" gets my vote then for next feature to implement, and I will be waiting patiently :D

Of course, it's already an amazing app and I really feel terrible even asking for anything else, especially since it's free.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I feel you on the guilty part as we all want something that WE feel we need. But that's what development is all about and of course Utter already provides more features and customization options than anything currently out...and that includes apps that were developed a while back that function, but no changes have been added. I think everyone knows what I mean there...:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Love the offline mode Ben! Thanks heaps.

Where's the donate/purchase version? I keep throwing money at my screen, but it just falls to the keyboard :(

Take my damn money already dude - you deserve it!!! ;)

Is it possible to force Utter into offline voice recognition mode WITHOUT being in Airplane mode?

I have my N7 tethered through my phone's data plan (expensive here in Aus), but I don't want Utter to use that connection - especially when it's capable of doing it in offline mode. I have the net connection just for the convenience of internet search in case I need to look something up.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
It took a few tries and reboots, but offline mode is working for me. Great update, Ben!
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Regarding the offline recognition... After multiple visits to Shildon, Dronefield, and London, I believe the term is 'bloody brilliant' !!! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Indeed I shall make sure that is the case for you :D

Thanks for the reports, appreciated. Just to 100% make sure the option isn't hidden somewhere, could you confirm you've gone to the Android language and input settings, voice search and then looked for the 'Download offline speech recognition' option?

@Jamalsid - I wasn't aware of this - Is it a particular hardware restriction do you know? I've attached the latest Google Search apk below - what happens when you try and install it (take a backup first!), doesn't it give a permissions error? Or perhaps the features are restricted by device/hardware from inside the application...?

Thanks for the report - I have a collection of headsets arriving soon, so I can work out how on Earth they are able to function on differently.... I hope to find the solution soon!

Thank you for the offer! I will call for your help soon! :good:

It's a good question.... At the moment there is no documentation to support the changes Google made. I'll have a go at seeing if I can manipulate Google Search in to thinking there is no connection. Hmm....

WHOOP! Thanks for letting me know.

If anyone else struggles to get it to work initially, if I could ask you to let me know how you solved it please? I've had a user report that they had to install the English UK offline files before it would work - so keen to understand the potential problems, ready to reply to user help emails!

WHOOP! Let the games begin!
[Android Apps and Games] mr.x100:
:good: i wanna try this :)
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Yeah, I had to do this, too.

Basically, I installed the utter! update, then went to check that the offline files were installed. They already were, so I did a reboot just to be safe and started up utter!. It just kept saying, "I lost the network connection." Reboot again, didn't work. Changed my system language to English UK and downloaded the English UK files, reboot, and tried again. It worked then. Then I spent 5 minutes trying to get utter! to stop speaking to me as a male with a British accent. Apparently setting the language option in the Voice Search settings does not override the system language option, so it took me a while to remember I had changed the system language. Anyway, finally got everything back to English US, uninstalled the English UK files, and it all works now. I'm not sure which step got utter! to work, but since you mentioned it, it was probably the download of the English UK files. I probably should have gone through with this in a more methodical manner, but I decided to employ the good old mash all the buttons technique that serve me so well in video games.
[Android Apps and Games] inmobly:
excellent idea

There is not enough good stuff available in voice recognition functionality. This is very exciting. Looking forward to learning more. Touch screen compatible gloves arent great, so winter + touchscreens hasnt been a great combo. This could be amazing for those of us in cold places!
[Android Apps and Games] adfurgerson:
Thank you for this excellent app, would definitely buy if it was paid. Working perfect on Optimis G running international stock jb port. Already had latest voice search installed and Utter worked fine after installing from playstore, tested a few functions while in airplaine mode, also working fine.

I'm intrigued by this app, and I've installed it to tinker with today while I'm at work... but I'm finding I'm having a pretty disheartening issue - any time I activate Utter to listen to a command, it gives me approximately 1/8th of a second to start speaking, and then says it couldn't hear anything! I tried increasing the "pause" setting, but that didn't seem to do anything.

I'm using a Nexus S on 4.1.

Hi folks, thanks for all of your posts! :good: Back in couple of hours to read them all properly - it's all go!

This is a Google Search bug that I've yet to understand the cause. I've had a few other users resolve this by doing some/all of the following:

1) Switch your Google Search language to English UK (if it works, try switching it back)

2) Uninstall the Google Search updates from the Android application settings

3) Clear the application data for utter! in the Android application settings

4) Uninstall utter!

5) Update your Google Search app on the Play Store

6) Install utter! again

7) Let me know!!

Fingers crossed.....

[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I'm waiting for this app to get to the beta state.

Quick question but why is the app that shown in the video fully functional? Yet the one released is severely limited with functionality.

I'm sure it's been answered somewhere but I'm probably overlooking it.

Just curious to know if its for testing purposes so you can get more model support out of the gates, stability, or what?
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
You will probably be waiting for a while. brandall has decided to release each feature at a time, which means the app will be of great quality, but the downside is that it will probably take longer than usual to make it full featured.

He said that the app doesn't have all the functionality shown in the video because that setup was only tested on his one device with his particular settings. He's going back to the raw frame of the app to make sure that it works on as many devices as possible, and adding each feature in slowly to ensure that any bugs that pop up are worked out as each feature gets added. Totally understandable, because with an app that has this many features, if he released the full thing, it would be very difficult to track down and kill bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I had a feeling that is what he intended. Not a problem with me. I actually like the idea of getting as many devices working well from the start.

Nothing irritates me more then then heading to the market to download the newly released app that everyone wants (examples being Netflix, Hulu, and GTA III) and then seeing the message not compatible with your device.
[Android Apps and Games] Matthewscottk:
Is the ability to attach an app to raw voice data not a part of the app yet? It keeps telling me to long press the raw voice data to assign an action, yet when I long press, nothing happens.
