Hey folks, sorry for my absence again, juggling too much.... Next beta release coming DEFINITELY tomorrow!

Poweramp should work correctly, but there's a problem with it pausing as soon as it gets the track info. I've reported it to the developers twice, but they've ignored me...

It depends on the media app you use - some just pop up a useless box on the screen that gets in the way, otherwise will open the full app and then continue to play other songs after.

I'm working on Playlists and albums/artists, but having headaches with the fact that every media app seems to store them in different places... Frustrating!

I've added some more settings for wave to wake in the next release - hopefully it'll work for more users!

If the command you requested is shown in the visual results, then you must be saying the command wrong... Reason I say, is because the app looks at all of the entries to determine if one of them (or a combination of them) contains a command. So clicking on one shouldn't make any difference, as it's already been ignored as not a command - if you see what I mean!?

Thank you :) Added GONEmad to the list to look at. Voice control for media actions may be tricky... It is on the list, but not any time soon I'm afraid...

Home screen widget is high on the list. Catch Notes is configured for the next release, but unfortunately it's not working correctly. I've reported it to the developers, but they've ignored me........

The long-press-search should already be configured as an option - The other 'hardware' buttons can't be overridden without root though...

There's a stand alone apk that does nothing but start the recognition here - that should help I hope!

I wish.... Waiting for Google to release an API, but not sure if they will... I'll work it out somehow if they don't though.... I hope...

Have a look at the translation options in the user guide. Not ideal, but it's all that's available at the moment.

I image your are using GoSMS - they are stealing the SMS data and then not sharing it afterwards - really annoying... I've reported it to them, but they've ignored me.... *sigh*

Thank you! :good: Translation to other languages is coming at some point....

Thanks for all of your posts and replies folks, really appreciated.

I'll get this release out TOMORROW (honest) and then I'll sort out these memory problems. I've read all of your posts about where they are occurring and your thoughts, so they've not be wasted. Thank you :good:

EDIT: Please do let me know if I've missed a question you've asked!

I'm not sure if I had mentioned but with newer ROMs Google Now always takes priority over Utter even when I set Utter as the default search key press..

Which is kinda lame

Hi Ben, thanks for your print response. I'm actually using Handcent SMS. Would it work it I just switched to my default SMS or a different SMS app altogether? Anyone else know how I can remedy this?

Google have apparently made another 'mistake' in Jelly Bean and are overriding all other voice applications in their source code. If you are a conspiracy theorist, you'll draw your own conclusions, otherwise they accidentally changed code that made only their voice application work correctly...........................

Handcent very nicely added an option in their settings/application settings/Lower priority tick box - to allow other apps to grab the message first. Hopefully that will work for you. If only GoSMS would do the same....

Sorry, I'm doing the job of lots of people alone.... Honestly though, I'm not sure which language I'll translate to first - many eager emails and many volunteers... The translation isn't the hard part, it's the support emails in that language I'll get afterwards, which I won't understand!

Great work Ben!

I'm especially excited about the wake up activation but these new additions and bug fixes are brilliant too.

Wave to Wake

Working!! I did have to go to the number 3 setting though. However, not sure how consistent yet, but I can get it to work. Have to practice I can see to get the rhythm but WONDERFUL!!

Thanks Ben!

Will continue to look at all the other features and provide feedback.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Wow... I'm amazed!

Thank you so much, your hard work is very appreciated. Utter is definitely becoming one of the most versatile and unique voice controlled assistants available for androids. Can't wait to test this new version throughout the day at work.

Follow up on Wave to Wake

Okay, so I have discovered that wake to wake works for me on the number 3 setting. It does however only seem to work (1) time and then I have to go back into the settings, disable, reenable and select the 3rd option and it will work again.

So, we're halfway there I guess, just don't know why it won't hold permanently.

****Voice to wake option...still a no go and I'm on Gingerbread.

Haven't had time to test any of the other features, but if you get wave to wake, see if works consistently for you or if you have to reset.

Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

I still can't get wave to wake working. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I did have success with shake to wake, but just once.

Question: when I request Application Settings (+ application name), utter opens App Info. Is this the intended result?

Request: as if you don't have enough on your plate already, but...would you consider a secondary Float Commands window that would show just user created commands?

Many, many thanks for this update, Ben. Your obvious hard work is much appreciated. :)

Hey Bruce,

FYI-Took me a couple tries, but I used setting 3 for the wave to wake and it seemed to pickup when I approached the sensor from RIGHT to LEFT, small circle (twice) about 1/4 inch from Sensor.

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Make sure that you have the most recent "Google Voice Search" engine installed. At Utter's main menu select "recognition & voice", then "Google Voice Search"....(install latest version). Then try again.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
The config settings should be persistent.... Can you try getting it to work once and then afterwards hold your hand flat over the top of the device for a second. That may reset the count. I think I'm going to have to have a large number of test devices to get this working properly, as it works so differently on each it would appear.... EDIT: Which version of GVS are you running on Gingerbread?

Yes to both :) If you say 'application settings gmail' it will open the app settings where you can kill it or uninstall updates, clear data etc..... Floating window for custom commands shouldn't be too difficult, I'll add it to the list! See above about wave-to-wake.

That would be my suggestion! A reboot might randomly fix something... Otherwise, there are a few custom ROMs that are messing with the GVS installation.... :(

Long-press-home (Jelly Bean)

I've added an edit to this in the latest test build

Can anyone else confirm it's working for them??

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
WAVE TO WAKE-well, that does seem to reset the count (I think). Find it much harder to invoke function once I've done that though. Can't seem to find a "consistent" pattern. My voice search version is 2.1.4.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Still a no-go for me (this is on the #3 setting).

@Ben: after an install, when I long press the hard Search button, my complete action functions are:

utter!

Google Voice Search

Widget Locker

Is this what you're referring to? I select utter! as the default and I'm good to go (a short press still brings up Google Search). Frankly, almost as good as wave, so I'm happy.

Where can I donate? :)

Spent a short while testing:

Love the tutorial! New users will really benefit!

Succeeded in creating a note in Catch Notes. :)

The unknown command feature works perfectly, makes so much sense to me that utter! asks me to repeat my command. Thanks for adding this much needed feature.

Will keep testing...

I've just tried creating a new nickname - I'm asked which contact to apply the nickname to and the contact list appears, after selecting the contact nothing more happens.

This used to work for me.

Can someone else please try to create a nickname and see if he same happens.

Yay..got utter to work with wave to wake config 3. :)

Took about five minutes and I was so surprised when utter spoke that I dropped the phone.

Got it twice since, but it is still far too difficuilt to use regulary. :(

You are exactly correct!!. ;)

I believe if you check Ben's profile you will see the link for donations.

Don't drop your phone anymore...not good for its longevity!!! But I too was pretty amazed when mine spoke and like you, it's difficult to get a repeat as there seems to be no consistent pattern.:eek:

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Still can't get the wave to wake function here to work properly. Why do you haver users to start of fast and gradually slow down? Why not just 2 simple clicks within XXX amount of time. Robin's wave to wake works really well. 100%of the time.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

A good working example would be "Locale proximity click" from the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
New Nickname test....

Hope you are doing well...anyway, same for me. Here's what happens though...

1). I go to create the nickname.

2). I go to select the name and nothing happens (it won't select whatever I choose).

3). When I exited I got nothing but a BLACK SCREEN. I attempted to hit the back button and nothing happens.

4). Only when I press HOME will I see my home screen.

5). I attempted to go back into Utter and get nothing but a BLACK SCREEN and the only way to get out is to hit the home key.

6). Only after rebooting the phone can I get back to Utter's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Same here. When I select a contact, it just kicks back to the Customization list. Other customization options are available, but the back button is now unresponsive. The Home button gets me out. I can, however, access Settings again via my dock shortcut.

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I think I may be focussing too much on trying to make sure wave to wake doesn't trigger by accident!!! Perhaps I should reverse this process and make it stupidly easy and then gradually more difficult!! :D

For Jelly Bean devices, without the search button, I've tried to tap into the long press of the home button - then click on the voice option and hopefully utter! will pop up as a choice! Hopefully....

Lucky you for Catch Notes! I'll have another try.... Good spot on the nicknames - thank you :good: Will release a fix shortly!

Thanks for confirming! :good:

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Sadly long pressing home won't allow any other options other then the default app switcher thingy. For me anyways.

Really excited to have the "Wake Up" option working on Jellybean in the future. Haha makes me want to go back to ICS now. :P

Great update brandall !

:beer: "We can't stop here, this is Bat Country!" :beer:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:

When you long press home are there not boxes/options along the bottom of the screen? Perhaps it's just a Samsung thing.... I'll attach a screenshot shortly to show what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Hmm as activation phrase isn't supported on JB yet, maybe you should add a wave option that is triggered easily, which would be useful for when driving a car where it doesn't matter if it is activated by accident, but you might need to change destination without touching your phone for example.

Good news, bad news...

I have the Locale Proximity plugin installed for Tasker (although the one profile it's in is disabled). Would that cause a conflict with wave to wake?

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Should not create a problem. I'm at about 90% now with wave to wake-but it's tricky. I have to continually wave at about 2 waves per second and do not stop until utter speaks! I know, but for me it works. I tried all the way home and a few times at home with high success. If you're holding the phone you can stop when you feel the vibration also. It's still finicky but way better than before when we got nothing. Holding the phone and waiting for the vibration Is the best way to get the feel for it. As I'm writing this post utter has responded erroneously about 3 times on its own, and I do find that a little weird.
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
FYI...I am on stock/rooted ROM; SGS III JB.

I get the items at the bottom when I long hold the home button, but I have G (Google) there, not Utter.If I need to make a setting for that to happen, it isn't intuitive to me in the settings which one I would change.

But, I"m not overly concerned. I use Home2SHortcut, and set it up so that when I DClick on it, it launches utter listen mode.

I did set the Wave to Wake to X setting, but still can't get it to work. But I did get it working via Tasker, per earlier posts in this thread. I found it to be as you are concerned...not too great. Would launch when I didn't want it to. Made several changes in timing, never really liked it.

Settling on the double click of HOme for now. Would like the wake up phrase, but I see only working for GB and ICS. But, I wonder if that would drain battery.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Brandall that is definitely a touchwiz feature.

Out of curiosity what jelly bean phone did you get?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Assuming you're running Jelly Bean then you can configure this as your default in the Android Text to Speech settings.

I've defaulted the synthesised voice for Jelly Bean, but there is an option to turn it off in the settings.

Do you mean that it speaks through your headset, but just won't activate when you press the button? What does happen when you press the button?

Hopefully.... These are only mimicking button presses on the device, so it's a matter of intercepting which ones. However, all of the different possibilities make this a mammoth task....

It's possible if the Locale plugin is intercepting the sensor events with a higher priority.... Thanks for confirming the nickname fix works!

I think for now I'll abandon trying to get it working with the implementation I'm using and revisit it soon. On my devices it happens so easily, so I've got to come up with something that allows for such differences between devices.

I would have hoped that detecting a second wave within X amount of time would have worked... but alas no....

When you press the 'G' the option to select utter! as the default should then appear - after that, the G should be replaced by the utter! icon? Let me know!

Shake, wave and wake-up-phrase will all be battery intensive. It's a case of weighing up the sacrifice for each device/user, as no doubt the drain will be entirely different for all....

Thanks for confirming, I did wonder. I've got it running stock on an SII, so perhaps it doesn't have the latest build that the new Nexus devices do.

Notes on newest Beta release

Ben,

As always, great, great job on the newest additions to Utter. Just wanted to let everyone know what I have tested in the newest release...

1. Absolutely love the addition of "Redial" and Call "Number"

a. If possible for the future, please add "Call Back"-(dial last incoming number) for "missed calls"

2. Remember this-also love this little feature

3. Addition of Waze Navigation-works well for me.

4. Proof Reading-Wonderful!!! This allows me the flexibility of being totally hands free.

5. Temperature-thanks for the C or the F default units

6. Punctuation-Yippeeee! Nothing like a properly composed message.

a. I have used other apps that allow the use of punctuation by saying for example: "period", "exclamation", "question", "comma", etc.

Haven't tried this, but hopefully will be added in the future?

7. SMS (Go SMS-read last text-HOPE THEY WILL UPDATE SO UTTER CAN READ THEM)

a. (CURRENTLY USING YOUR TASKER PROFILE FOR READING TEST MESSAGES WHICH WORKS GREAT)..

b. Hoping that the driving mode will eventually make this obsolete along with the ability to "reply" to messages?

I haven't gone through all of the functions, but it looks like many of you are doing that.

Thanks again Ben, and I guess now it's onto the memory issues.:good:

noob

Hello All, I've decided to sign up for this forum entirely for this app. Let me begin by saying Thank You to the dev, not only for creating

Utter, but also sending very timely responses by e-mail for help.

I've recently landed a new job that will require travel by vehicle 95% of the time, and want to make utter my go to App for everything. I realize from reading this forum I'm going to have to say goodbye to GoSMS, but I do not care. This is better.

Couple questions for you guys if you don't mind. Davis, brandall, etc... You guys have been so much help already just reading this this forum, hopefullly its alright if you can just help me out a little more.

1st. I've been using the Play Store app of Utter for months now, and didn't even realize you were providing updates to it on this forum. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 thru At&T, and don't even know where to begin getting apps from anywhere but the play store. Can someone briefly explain to me what I have to do, to get the most recent beta version of Utter so I can begin helping out? I'm on Android now for about 3 months and don't need a complete step by step, just the basics. I learn quickly.

2nd. Since I've only been using Utter from the play store, I can't really make suggestions because I don't have the latest version. For all I know, most of my questions can be solved already in the latest version.

3rd. I really have no interest in the Taskr app, I want to keep things as simple as possible. Driving will be my biggest concern (texting, navigating, calling, etc..) Is this the right app for me?

4th. I apologize already for this ridiculously long post, but on the bright side I asked Utter for a beautiful brunette to be in my bed last night, and it made my wish come true. =)

Thanks

Unsanity

P.S. I originally tried to post this reply on my phone. It is impossible to type on Dolphin browser with Swiftkey enabled in this box. Is there an XDA App or something? I honestly considered smashing my phone with a sledehammer thats how frustrated I became. I'm still aggravated. Also, as I post more you'll probably notice I'm not that happy of a guy lol. Be warned.
