Could be aeroplane mode, don't know, but in JB when GPS is toggled on it doesn't show up until it actually has been requested by an app or service, at least that's what mine does.

Hi, I have been using version 3.0.2b from play store and may i say what a great app, but i have just installed test version 3.0.2.9.3b and it won't start. I keep getting force close process com.brandall.nutter has stopped. I have uninstalled remove app folder rebooted phone installed again but still no joy. My phone is Huawei g300 running gingerbread rooted. Is this great app no longer supported by gingerbread or is it my device, not too upset because 3.0.2b still works. Cheers.

Just tried version 3.0.2.9b and it works. any after this do not work (3.0.2.9.1b - 3.0.2.9.3b)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for the feedback and glad you're finding it useful. The screen going blank must be a ROM issue, as there's nothing in my code that would do this - Not been reported before, so I can only conclude this...

Thanks :good: I'll fix it being cancelled!

I think your problem may be to do with other 'issues' :D

hmmm... Thanks for reporting this. Is this only when you have the wake-up-phrase active?

As GLDavis kindly replied, yes - quiet times and an exclusion list I'm working on right now!

If you try 'toggle GPS' to keep it simple, that should work - I'm not sure what connection actions are preventing when in Aeroplane mode, so best to give it a try without being in that mode and see what happens!

Oops! Can't have you getting in trouble! In the utter! Settings there are the Volume Preferences - You can tick to adhere to the silent/vibrate profiles.

Thanks for your kind offer, it's appreciated :good: I will have the app ready for translation soon, I've deviated a little to get the driving mode complete. Once it's ready, it's a case of whoever wants to help translate into their language can! I'll be posting the language files with a link in a coming release!

I've not looked a Gtalk or Whatsapp yet so see what I can grab from them in terms of message content and replying etc - It's high on the list though.

I think someone posted a few (hundred!) pages back, about using a custom command to launch the launcher application, which basically takes the device 'home'. As far as closing the app goes, Android will handle this for you and shouldn't be a concern unless your device has RAM issues....

A force close! Thanks for reporting this! :good:

There shouldn't be anything that's changed to cause this. Are you familiar with getting log output? I wrote a small tutorial here. You may not need to filter by the package name of com.brandall.nutter as it may be a system crash. If you could get the output of errors, it would really help. Thanks in advance.

I never activated the wake up phrase. Utter works as expected when the headset is not used. Prior versions work with Bluetooth. The voice announcements came through the headset but input was via the phone mic.

[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:
I've now tested further - toggle GPS is now working!

However there are a few cases where Utter thinks it's doing something, but there's no change to the phone, viz:

1- Toggle Torch (this is interesting) - firstly I need Torch launched. No problem. Then when I say "toggle torch" the camera flash sensor chatters, Utter says "let there be light", but the torch does not actually turn on. Utter confirms the command is done.

2-"Superuser, reboot" - Utter says "I'm feeling sleepy" but nothing happens.

3-"Superuser, hot reboot - worked fine (I think-I'm not 100% sure what a hot reboot is - I guess it's not as deep as a cold boot)

I hope this feedback helps - cool app - we're getting well beyond my imagination when you put something like Utter and Tasker together!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
1. Toggle Torch works fine on my EVO. You said firstly I need torch launched? Are you manually turning it on, then issuing a command?

I just say toggle torch, turns it on, then toggle torch turns it off.

2. Not sure why a reboot wouldn't work, but a hot reboot works with no problem?
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Toggle Torch works on my HTC Vivid, but not on the N10. However both reboots are working on each device.
[Android Apps and Games] kolaf:
I'm running cyanogenmod 10.1 on a HTC One X with a jawbone era Bluetooth headset.

Recognition of most commands works perfectly without using the headset, and sometimes when I use the headset. However, after pressing the button on the headset to activate utter, all text that is read back through the headset is played back at extreme slow speed, like running a cassette tape with low batteries.

Sometimes I get playback at normal speed through the headset, typically if I have pressed the notification to say a command, but not always.
[Android Apps and Games] rspear:
When I'm connected to blue tooth and I start utter, I can't hear an initial prompt like "I'm listening" or "what can I do for you? ".

However, it is listening and responds verbally after that.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello!

Yep happens to me on occasion. I think it's the time that it takes your command to be read by the Google servers and returned to utter. You may find that at certain times of the day... Very early morning or late evening this probably doesn't happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Futur Innovations:
(n)utter feature missing from latest versions

There's a feature that was in one of the (n)utter alpha releases that allowed me to type a string of words and save the spoken words as a sound file. I thought that it was awesome because I use the recordings I made as most of my ringtones, such as "You have received a text message" in a male british voice for my text notification sound. I wish that this feature was in the current release so I could keep making recordings for other notifications (I even made one for low battery). I could see it going in the "customization" area of the app.

Voice answer phone Tasker Profile

I have a Tasker Profile, using 'Get Voice' / %VOICE, to answer my phone based on a response, i.e. answer or decline...how may I structure this using Utter! in Tasker?

I have tried using a %variable and selecting listen, but not certain how to get Utter to listen for a specific variable.

-Scott
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
It can't yet. You could just combine the two.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Is it an A2DP headset?

I think that counts as cheating!! :D

Thank you! :good:

Thanks for the feedback :good:

1) The torch app shouldn't need to be launched, it should just use the camera flash independently... It may be a different configuration on your device though... I'll check your signature for your device in a mo, if it's not there, what is it?!

2&3) Can you go to the Power User Settings and update Busybox. Then close utter! and open it again. Does that solve the problem?

Thanks for letting me know :good: I'll see if I can find anything different on the N10

That's a strange one! The TTS speed and pitch etc is managed by the Android TTS Settings. I don't mess with these at all, so not sure what's going on there?!

By 'verbally', do you mean via the handset mic?

I've been meaning to put that back in for ages! I'll get it set up again very soon :)

gloscherrybomb is correct, but I'm DEFINITELY going to sort the conditional plugin for Tasker next week! Honest! Will post when I'm about to start it to find out what circumstances you'll all use it under, so I can make sure I can pass the variable content correctly!

Update coming in about 30 mins!

For back page arrivals, if you can't wait, the latest test build is here

[Android Apps and Games] jcat00uk:
hi quick question, does utter allow for offline language translation or doesn't google translate allow for api access to that feature

John
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Not yet I'm afraid, but I will do soon. Waiting for my friend to have a couple of hours spare!

Google Translate is now a premium API, so I don't use it. I'm not sure if they have offline capabilities or not? I haven't looked their app for a while...
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.2.9.4B up!

Quoting the above release notes for ease! Although it's getting very, very, very long...

What's new!?

Accessibility

There's now an Accessibility Section in the Advanced Settings. There you can configure quiet times, application exclusions and notification content exclusions.

The list of installed applications is horribly laggy and I'm working on a fix for this.

The other Accessibility features are disabled for now, but they are all high on my list to do. I'll be posting over in the Eyes Free Google Group before I attempt any more of them, as I need some feedback as to what's important.

Memory Flush

If the app is not 'busy', then it will flush the memory whenever you close the main application. I'm letting Android handle restarting utter! and you'll have to let me know if it doesn't restart very shortly afterwards! You should see the memory usage in the Android Running Services down as little as 4mb initially, maxing out at around 10mb (not including spikes + Google Voice Search + Voice Engine).

Any commands that enter the User Interface, such as the command creation, will hike the memory again. I'm working on a further 'periodic flush'.

EDIT -

Wake-up-Phrase

I forgot to to mention that the wake-up-phrase is now configurable in the advanced settings!

What's next?

1) Sort A2DP headset profiles

2) Confirming call X dialog (to stop you calling the wrong person)

3) Query Calendar

4) Sort the laggy app list

5) Fix a few bugs

Once I've done those five, I've got to get this baby on the Play Store!

What's after that?

* - Tasker Conditional plugin

* - Translation

* - Read and respond to emails (driving mode)

* - Respond to text messages (driving mode)

* - Wolfram Alpha integration

* - Accessibility Enhancements

* - Location aware profiles

* - Other important stuff I can't remember

Questions

1) Do any notifications other than Gtalk get announced by 'Google Services Framework'? They don't for me.

2) Did anyone previously and successfully use utter! with a headset using a third party application? I need to link to one.

Thanks in advance as always!

Right, I best get on with it.... :eek:

EDIT - BUG - Receiving notifications with certain characters in may cause the app to crash. Working on a fix - Credit GLDavis.

Latest Test Build-response to Questions

1. I have received Gmail notifications.:good:

2.Third Party APP for Bluetooth:good:

An app called Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...uetooth_launch)

I've used it successfully and I seem to get better response from the system when doing so. I removed after testing and relied on your coding which works.
[Android Apps and Games] kolaf:
Another way to reduce the number of mis-recognitions when doing the "call" function is to allow us to assign nicknames to the contacts. You could rely on the nickname already present in many of the contacts, or keep an external mapping list. It is sort of similar to the already existing command mapping, but it will be more intuitive to use since it is geared towards storing nicknames for contacts. I guess you can even use the same functionality, just give a separate command to allow us to record nicknames for contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
We already have the ability to assign nicknames and that functions well. Are you saying in addition to what we already have allowing Utter to speak whom it's calling?

Why not use a function where Utter speaks the contact name before dialing with an option to cancel? i.e. "Calling Ed Smith on mobile, is this correct?"
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks :good: I was actually specifically referring to Gtalk notifications - are they the only ones that are announced as 'Google Services Framework'?

I think GLDavis answered your question? - the nicknames are in the Customisation section. I've not looked at the nickname field in the contact card - I'd have to check if it's a Google implementation, rather than Manufacturer. I'll check it out :good:

That's the one :) I'll have it as an option for those that want the confirmation.

EDIT - Forgot to add in the release notes that the wake-up-phrase is now configurable! I'll edit it now!

BT Issues

Yes, both my Jawbone ICON HD and Aircast bluetooth headsets are A2DP. Running CM 10.1 on an HTC Inspire 4G.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks - Could you connect your headset with utter! active, then open utter! and turn it off and on again using the Power Button in the ActionBar. Does it work any better then?

I've just realised - when you close the app, it will probably shut utter! down again to refresh the memory.... I forgot about checking if a headset was connected before doing this! Oops!

I'll fix that now - So, after you've turn it off and on again, leave the app open and use mic icon to test it please! I have a feeling that's not going to be any better and I'll need to get an A2DP headset before I get it working....
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
Hi Ben! Just wanted to let you know that when Utter! is reading my notifications and I delete a Gmail, she tells me I have received another email and I have decreasing number to read. So, as I am reading and deleting my 30 emails she keeps telling me I have received another email. Possibly, you could fine tune it to not notify about read or deleted emails.
[Android Apps and Games] joakim_5937x:
Does this app have the feature that you can activate it by a wake up phrase?

Skickat från min HTC One X via Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello, and the answer Is yes! Make sure you have the latest test build and issue the command "enable permanent recognition".

An orange icon in the notification bar should come up. The wake up phrase is "wake up".

You can now configure that phrase in advanced settings as well. I think you need to be running JB for this? So many things I can't remember... Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
That's great feedback, thank you! :good:

That's going to be tricky to deal with..... It's different content every time to I can't match it and exclude.... and I can't really set a minimum repeat time on Applications because you might be in an instant message chat and want them read out....

hmmm.... going to have to ponder over that one!

Can anyone tell me how to change the default folder for taking a screen shots? I tried changing it in the camera setting but nothing happened.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Are you taking screenshots using utter? If so the default is utter/screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] westwoodguy:
I am taking screen shots with utter but I want to change the default folder. The reason being is that after I take a screen shot, it doesn't appear in my gallery.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It appears in mine. I have 2 screenshots directory's in gallery?

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

Also check /pictures/screenshots and see if you have anything there using a file manager
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I should show in your gallery as I haven't put a .nomedia file in the directory - check your gallery settings to see if you need to manually select the screenshots directory.

Changing the location of the files could cause problems, as when you ask to upload/email/share the screenshot (coming soon!) then the app might not have a reference to it..... It keeps it simple for me to keep them in the one directory!

My head unit in my car had the ability to launch the voice commands by pressing a button on the head unit.

I tried to use the wake up command now. But i have some issues. When you start it and say "wake up" and tell her the command, then the orange icon fades away and you would need to press again on the utter icon to activate utter. You can actually keep it alive by always adding "start listening" after every command so the orange icon comes again, but is there any way how I keep it constantly alive without always having to enable it by "start listening". So you permanently see the orange icon on top of your screen? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Can you go to the Play Store and check both Google Voice Search and Google Search are up to date please? That's usually the cause.

On the most recent release notes, there are instructions for how you can configure this with Tasker or Llama when the headset is plugged in.

The button launching the default voice command app is probably a Jelly Bean bug.

The app really, really shouldn't be using any battery power... Which app are you using that tells you it is??

It's in Settings - Wake-up-Phrase. Or you can say 'start listening' and 'stop listening' to deactivate.

It should continue to listen once the command is finished... are you running the latest test version?

I tried updating Google voice and search and still no luck :/ I think im out of luck really wanted to try this app :(

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Try something please. This problem is almost 90% related to not having the updated voice search from Google.

Open Utter and at the main screen scroll down till you see Recognition & Voices and open that tab.

You will be on the page that has all the different speech engines

Scroll down on that page until you see Google Voice Search and click on that to install the latest version (see if it will allow you to update)

Once you have the update installed, reboot your system and then try Utter.

This should work.

Further to previous discussions the app is say "I am sorry but I didnt hear anything" before fetching.

Don't know if that helps

Make sure to disable S Voice - thats what did it for me.

You can disable from the settings menu..can't remember exactly where, but it's there. I WOULD NOT HOWEVER DO THAT, as then task killers or other things can turn Utter off then.

You should have almost no drain on your system by leaving it enabled...less than 1%.

I have mine on all the time.

Newer versions FC

Same thing happens to me. Using an MT4GS with "Black Dahlia" custom ROM (AOKP JB 4.1.2).

With ALL versions of "utter_V3.0.2.9.?B" A white screen with an Utter heading & no content pops up, then the app FCs every time.

Log attached from attempting to run utter_V3.0.2.9.4B.

Sorry I couldn't filter for com.brandall.nutter but it did not run long enough to "grab." (The google.ads references are probably generated by System Tuner.)

Utter!_3.0.2 Loads & works as expected. Thanks for devoting the time to create this app.

I tried the latest test version v3.0.2.4B but its as useful as my grandma when shes drunk :D It force closes either when I just try to start utter or right after when it started. It then simply freezes and closes. Im running on a rooted gingerbread device. The test build v3.0.2.9B runs pretty smooth, but the problem is that I dont have the permanent wake up icon in that version. Any suggestions please?
