Thanks Ben, awesome work, just spent all day following the tasker plug in info.... Gave me a headache! Lol but now when I plug my headset in or connect to Bluetooth text message interactive is switched on which is awesome! Also now have permanent recognition working when power is connected, again.... Awesome, thanks so much.

In regards to the secure settings info it's the plugin within tasker I was talking about.

# If you create task-name it- choose plug in- secure settings- click configuration pen - actions - launch activity - choose utter! (from list once you click on?) - and then in the drop down menu you have lots of options. One option is 'launchershortcutactivity' which gets utter! To listen for a command, im using this one mapped to my headset button (double click) so can voice control without taking phone out of pocket. But was wondering what others did as maybe one of the is 'toggle incoming calls or notifications on/off' which would be really handy? Sorry for rambling but hopefully I've explained myself better this time here are agreed shots of all available options.....
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Hi all, sorry to pester but.....

When doing a 'Google search' via utter, should you then be able to say 'okay Google' whilst in Google search/now and continue searching?

Ie. Activate utter! - 'Google search, red lion pub, southampton' - it brings up the one your looking for - 'okay Google' - 'navigate here'

Was pretty sure I used to be able to do this but now I can't, maybe im just loosing my marbles... Any ideas?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
As of right now, unfortunately there's no way to alter the pause for breath detection, as Google controls this since Jelly Bean.

I am however working steadily on other implementations, so maybe in the future this will be something I can build up :good:

Thanks for posting that :good: I'll have a look over a coffee sometime to see if I can work out what they are doing!

Thanks for sharing :good: I actually shouldn't be exposing all of the listed Activities, as some may crash if launched separately or with missing Extras.

The only available toggles are the ones listed in the Plugin Guide:

1 - Start the voice recognition

2 - Start the permanent voice recognition

3 - Stop the permanent voice recognition

4 - Turn utter! off completely

5 - Flush the memory utter! is using

It's not too much work to add more possibilities, so I'll see what I can do!

Not pestering at.... It's an important issue! Alas, I can't replicate - 'Okay Google' is working fine for me after I asked the above command.

I'm just confirming that you don't also have the wake-up-phrase active?

Maybe try a reboot and see if the problem persists? Let me know

[MENTION=537847]BobD1605[/MENTION] & [MENTION=1989457]themadproducer[/MENTION]

Attached for you the logging version. After you request event details, it will write a file to Storage/utter/calendar_logging.txt containing the event timings. It will append any requests, so if could replicate your issues a few times with the troublesome events and I'll be able to see what's going on!

Really appreciate your help on this, your thanks meter +1's await!

I wouldn't suggest anyone else install this version, as it will be slower.

'okay google' not working

Thanks for quick reply Ben,

I have changed the wake up command, is this why? but when trying this, wake up command is not active!?

If I go directly in to Google search or Google Now it isnt working either, not even using Utter!

I have rebooted device, gone in to google settings and turned off/on google hotword detection, cant get it working??

also in regards to toggles glad i told you about secure settings although being able to have a plugin for incoming call notifications and any other notifications would be great.

Just been trying superuser commands, cant get reboot working but power off does work, when i activate utter! and say 'superuser reboot' utter! says 'feeling sleepy' but then doesnt do anything.......is this because i do not have clockwork recovery? I have rooted but did quick root via odin other day so I could get more utter! and Tasker features working.......thinking about it, I probably should get clockwork instlled!!

hope all this helps

p.s Im running a S5 rooted - No custom Rom
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
Hi Ben! For some reason announce notifications isn't working for me since the last couple of updates. I've turned it off, then back on. I've rebooted and tried all of the above again. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for confirming. I can only suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the offline language packs for Google Now.

Google won't start the Hotword detection if another application is using the mic or if the files are missing/corrupt.

I'll definitely look to what other features I can add to toggle. I'm sure there are a few others that would come in handy too.

Can you go to the utter! Power User Settings and click on the Update BusyBox link please. You might need to reboot and then perhaps also untick and re-tick SuperUser Permissions so it flushes the BusyBox installation..... Let me know you crack it!

Hello! I've just checked on my test devices and no issues..... Can you try re-entering the quiet times to make sure something isn't a miss between the start - end calculations?

Let me know :good:

[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
Thanks for your response Ben. I tried changing the start and end times just now and sent a test Gmail. Utter still doesn't announce the new message.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Damn.... thanks for confirming.

You have put anything in Exclude Content like 'a' that would prevent stuff?

Could you try un-ticking it and re-ticking it in the Android Accessibility Settings please? Whilst you're in there, it might be worth toggling anything else that is enabled too, just in case it's causing a conflict....

Let me know :good:
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
OK, it must be a conflict with one of the services I had in accessibility. I turned Utter off and on and it still wouldn't announce. I turned off all of the rest and it worked again. In hindsight, I should've turned them off one by one, so I could tell you which one was causing the conflict. Duh! I had AirDroid Notification Mirror Service, DashNotifier, Google Voice for DashClock, and Tasker turned on. I'm leaning towards AirDroid, because I believe I turned that on last night. I'll try turning them on one by one later and let you know which one it was. Thanks Ben! You're awesome! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Glad you got it sorted! :good:

I'll read up and see if somehow another app could be taking priority when intercepting the events.

Hi Ben,

I've sorted the Google now issue.... Unfortunately it was utter! I Tried literally everything before uninstalling my beloved utter! As soon as I did, Google now started working again!

Edit..... Its stopped again, maybe messing with superuser to get that working? I'll in install and systematically check it every time I do something in utter..... Going for zzzz's

Unfortunately it has lost all of my commands, grrrrr! Where do these get backed up to? As I have clicked 'export commands' many times today!? No issue though just glad Google now is back.

Superuser reboot is still not working, I uninstalled busy box along with utter, gave them both Superuser permission on relaunch? Again not something I will use a lot but thought you may need to know.

Thanks for all your help :)

Ps. What's :good:?

Audio recording error

Hi [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION],

I experience the audio recording error when I use permanent listen or wake up utter using wake up phrase. I search the blog and found you had answer this question before.

I never experience with the version I download in playstore, but it happen only i update the latest version from you.

My question is, when you said reinstall google voice and google voice search.. do you mean google search? I cant really uninstall voice search actually.

Hi [MENTION=258614]benben[/MENTION]25 and [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION]

I saw both of you post this issue. Did you able to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

One question, when I activate the wake up phrase and run it, sometimes utter will tell me that there was an audio recording error when I try to wake it. Anyone else having this error? I'm on Galaxy Note II GT-N7105 running JB 4.1.2 stock.

Thanks An audio recording error is sent by Google Voice Search. You need to check your installation of both Google Voice and Google Voice Search. Uninstall them and reinstall them if you can - If you can't try and remove the updates in the Android Application Settings.A reboot in-between always helps.
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
Hi Ben! I tried turning all of the accessibility services I had on previously, on again, one at time. Each one I turned on, I had to turn back off to get Utter to announce notifications again.
[Android Apps and Games] Keow:
Hi [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION],

Just to answer you question, I enable the Utter talkback, Okay google not work. I disable, It work..

I re-enable it, Okay google not work again :D

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION], not sure whether this is bug you would like to look at cause if I turn off the utter talkback, then I wouldn't be able to use the notification function in utter.

Thanks for posting the solution [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION] As usual, I can't replicate.... and I can't for the life of me think why the Accessibility Services would be causing an issue....... but they clearly are!

I'll put my thinking cap on about this. If you re-enable them, does the problem return?
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
It seems people are still confused about the Google Now issue. Here it is, in a nutshell:

When you enable Utter in the accessibility settings, the “OK Google” hotword will not work on the Google Now page. Enabling other apps in the accessibility settings does not cause this issue. So, as of right now, you cannot use both Google’s hotword feature and Utter’s announce notifications feature at the same time.

That’s it. It’s pretty simple. :)

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

@brandall,

Would you mind telling me which service you’re fetching weather information from? You say it’s terrible, but I’ve found after testing nearly every single weather app in existence that Utter is the only one that gives me reliable weather data. I’d like to see if I can find a way to get that data onto my DashClock widget.

And, while we are on the subject, can you allow Utter the ability to respond intelligently to “is it going to rain (today/tomorrow)” or “will I need an umbrella”? Google Now does this very well, but it uses Yahoo Weather for its source, which does not work for my city.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
I can confirm this even with ICS and my Ported Google Now.

Thanks for the concise summary. :good:

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

I've been using Utter for a few months now with Tasker and have been loving it! However, I suddenly have a problem with the permanent voice recognition. When I enable the "Wake-Up-Phrase" to start the permanent voice recognition, utter starts with "I'm listening" and does the initial "beep" sound that Google Now makes. The problem is that it continues to beep every 5 seconds until I click "Wake-Up-Phrase" again to disable the permanent voice recognition... any idea what is going on here? The beeping gets rather annoying after a few seconds. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
Download the fixed version from here. Thank Ben.

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]:

After two weeks of incessant testing, I am left with three major issues (and some minor ones, but we’ll leave them for some other time):

Ambient noise error. I get this once every ten tries (whereas actual ambient noise in only a problem one time out of 100) and it is very annoying. You said it was an issue with Google’s speech recognition, but if you figured out a fix for this one, Utter would be ready for primetime, I think.

Delay in starting to listen. The delay can range from anywhere between one to about three seconds, I think, but whatever the amount, it is not nearly as instantaneous as Google Now.

No speech when connected via Bluetooth. When my phone is connected to my car through Bluetooth, I see Utter’s TTS icon in the status bar but nothing comes out the speaker. The “Bluetooth headset” setting in Google Now/Voice Search is turned off and I even disabled “Media audio” in my Bluetooth device settings in an attempt to get it to play the sound from the phone’s speaker. Nothing works. Ideally, it would play the sound through the phone’s speaker when no music is playing and temporarily pause the music and play it over the Bluetooth device’s speaker when music is playing. But if that isn’t possible, at least it should respect the Bluetooth device settings: play it through the device when “Media audio” is enabled and through the phone’s speakers when it isn’t.

The trouble with bugs in a speech recognition workflow is that it’s embarrassing when it fails in public. Oftentimes, I will say “call ankush” and it will come back with “there was an ambient noise error”, and the ambient noise I get to hear at that point is the snickers of cynical technophobes. Not that I care too much about what they think, but it’d be nice if it worked more reliably.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

And can you please give up a way to back up all of our Utter configuration to Dropbox and restore from there? I have amassed quite a lot of custom commands, replacements and settings and it’s risky not having a backup.
[Android Apps and Games] dalljacks:
Awesome, it worked! Thanks to you too!
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
back up and running..........

Hi All,

Finally back up and running and even have the 'beep' back haha, thanks to previous posters for solving the google now issue, I just wont use notifications feature for now, I have texts read to me anyway thanks to the plugin - I presume this will be a priority for Ben anyways.

Still cant get 'superuser reboot' working? tried almost everything Ben and others have suggested but hey ho!

Is there a way we can get music apps (google play for me) to pause, or greatly lower volume whislt Utter is talking or listening?

Thanks all, have a great day :)
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
Utter should do that itself. Count that as a bug.

Here's another minor feature request: please capitalise the first letter of dictated text. I hate having my event titles, texts and tweets start with small letters. If you have to go in and make a minute edit by hand anyway, it defeats the point of using voice control. Also, can you append a period to dictated content even if the user does not specify it himself? I cannot think of any scenario where anyone would not want it.
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
I thought it used to before I did a reinstall, any ideas on how to fix?

Also when you take a screenshot using utter it works fine and goes in to screenshot folder within utter but doesn't seem to appear in my gallery? Any ideas? Would be great if it didn't say cheese and flashed the outside instead like stock?
[Android Apps and Games] BobD1605:
Oh wow. Didn't even realize I could do that! That helps me with my previous feature request. I really didn't know that I could say "Text wife saying hello full stop how are you question mark" and get everything correct except for the capital letters. Fantastic stuff. Thanks for pointing this out. I agree that auto capitalisation would be great though.
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] / Ben, I had noticed that you said you were about to check your email. I asked, but forgot to tag you the first time...did you receive my email about "TESTING!!!"? I just checked mine, but haven't received one with a link to test your utter! TTS yet. My email address is my name on here [at] gmail.com. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chiruscan:
Im trying to dial numbers, i.e. 'Dial 213-435-6456' and the visual results sometimes shows the correct number but Utter responds 'Cannot locate this contact'

Although Ive also noticed offline when i say 'dial 546-7869' is comes up with '546-7869'

Online when I say to dial that number it will show 3 numbers: the first will be correct, then it will also show something like '5467-7869' and '5466-7869' something like that then my phone dials the wrong number.

It works offline but not online. I dont know if its Utter or Google Search doing it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
I could have swown utter would pause any music playing while listening for a voice command. Now it stops the music but the music resumes right after and utter will say ambient sound error. I've tried Google Music, Player Pro, GoneMad Music Player, and Pandora. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
I *love* the new translation feature! Works great for my native language Hindi too. Thanks.

One request: can you make it toast the translation as well, like you do for spellings?

Another feature request: please provide us a way to disable TTS without losing the beep indicator. I currently accomplish it by muting the media stream, but losing the beep makes it difficult to use.
[Android Apps and Games] phillb09:
Hi, my first time posting. Been using utter for a long time, great app. Just a quick question. Did I read that I should be able to play music with permanent recognition on.... Or I'm I making that up?!!? if so I still have an issue with it pausing the music every couple of second's

YES...you are correct.

Hi folks, a lightning quick reply from me

Just wanted to acknowledge your posts and bug reports, you'll see your Thanks Meters have increased! I'll be back tomorrow or Saturday to answer them all.

There's some great bug spots and diagnosis and I thank you greatly for all of them! :good:

Some of them are new bugs and some itches from previous bug bites.......

Please do make sure you're running the latest test build from here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52626727&postcount=6256

There are some mentions of issues that should be fixed in the above release. I say 'should' in hope.....

Head down cracking on with some features, but back soon to take stock!

Thanks again :highfive:

Hi [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION],

Nope, I not able to solve it.. I use Tasker to trigger permanent listen when i in the touchwiz or when i on locked screen (when screen display on). but the audio recording error keep bumping out.. So I disable the tasker task as of now.

Hope you can let me know how I can solve this.. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

I was testing the call + digits feature. Like you said, DIAL command won't work but CALL command will.

If I use a 7 digit number without the area code preceeding it, whether it's in my contacts or not, IT Works reliably. As soon as I use a 3 digit area code, I get one of 2 issues.

- "I'm sorry, I don't recognize that contact"

- or phone dials but adds a bunch of numbers that are not supposed to be there.

Also, I recommend you add a verification option. Example, "did you mean 123-456—7890?" I could reply yes, no, or cancel.
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
FWIW, the call command works fantastically for me and I love how quick it is! I can say “call 09765637642” and it will instantly call it and, so far, has never gotten it wrong. Google Now used to get it wrong all the time (specially between 2 and “to”). If it does get it wrong, you can easily hang up and try again. Much better than a confirmation every time you use the command, at least for me.

I’ll try to remember that, but I think the best solution would be for you to always update the first post with links both to the post and directly to the download.
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
Never mind then. It’s a minor feature anyway.

And are likely to have much poorer recognition for non-American and non-European accents.

Can you also toast it? You likely don’t know the language you’re translating to, so being able to see the translated text as well as hear it would be quite useful, I think. And should be pretty easy to do.

Right, which is why I was hoping you could simply provide a toggle to turn off the talkback feature. That would keep the beep and remove the TTS when you wanted to use the app in relative silence. It would also prevent onlookers from realising when the app fails at certain tasks.
