Nice one! Glad you like the app. To hear incoming sms without driving mode, just use the command 'turn on notifications'.
[Android Apps and Games] epv:
perfect, I had to also turn on SMS Body Fix (maybe because i'm using Textra, a 3rd party SMS app) and disable notification announcements for other random stuff.

After trying it out a bit more I found that it seems sort of random whether Utter! gets audio from bluetooth or not. For a while I only got "Didn't hear any speech" or "Ambient noise error" but then i rebooted the phone and it worked properly for a while, then stopped again. Not sure what changed. I wonder if tasker could be used to force bt audio.
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
I initially had Bluetooth issues because there was a conflict with Google Now trying to always have primary access to the microphone. After killing Google Now, the problem has gone. The setting in utter to auto connect Bluetooth may work best for you either checked, or left unchecked, depending on your hardware. Also, Software reset using the power button within the utter app to turn off, then turn back on is usually sufficient to solve many Bluetooth problems also. I still get 'ambient noise error' when I'm trying to use offline voice recognition. It doesn't bother me though because I'm usually online all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] epv:
Ok, yeah I don't use Google Now and so I don't have the "ok google" stuff enabled. I'd actually just as soon completely remove the google app (i'm using cyanogenmod 11), but I believe it's required for the voice recognition to work at all. I don't really understand how offline voice recognition would be set up, but from what you say it doesn't work aynway so I won't worry about it yet. I will try fiddling with the autoconnect stuff, etc. So close!
[Android Apps and Games] epv:
Ok, gonna stop asking questions because I'm already making a pest of myself. One last one, though. It seems to always get audio from BT ("autoconnect headset" needs to be on) and recognizes correctly. I hear the "I'm listening" prompt fine but when using BT, that's the only audio I get - no responses to anything. It does recognize correctly, though, because if I give a command like "launch browser" it works immediately.

i.e., I hit the BT headset button, i hear "What can I do for you?" I say "what time is it?" The phone shows "Computing" with a little spinner in the status bar, which then goes away, and I hear nothing. If I detach the BT headset , it works normally. Stopping/restarting Utter! doesn't make a difference.

Update: Ok this makes my brain hurt. The actual problem is this: voice output for responses (but not prompts!) going to bluetooth only works when the phone is on cell data, and not when it's on wifi.

Voice output for both prompts and responses going to a wired headset or speaker works fine either on cell data or wifi. 100% repeatable, makes no sense. Don't really need it to work on wifi, but still puzzling. Maybe I need a TTS output that doesn't require talking to google. Maybe google's blacklisted me for some reason. But then the TTS output would have to be doing something different network-wise depending on whether audio was going to BT or the builtin speaker.
[Android Apps and Games] marknoll:
Which Google app you using? Offline speech recognition seems to not work on Google app 4.4+. Even stated on play store..flash a gapps pkg that has an older version of gapps

Google app 4.3 or lower works better than the updated one. Sadly

P.s. make sure you have the setting in play store off(automatically update) I just click that box. Play store will still tell you if there's updates, now u have a choice to update or not. Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] epv:
Weird, but recognition is working pretty much OK for me at this point. It's text-to-speech *output* that's problematic, and then only when I'm on the bluetooth headset. When it's wired it's fine, on BT often it takes a really long time to start speaking or times out saying "I lost the network connection" or just does nothing. On wired, it works fine. I guess I could switch to PicoTTS which as far as i understand shouldn't require the network...

I don't understand why TTS output behaves so differently between BT and wired.
[Android Apps and Games] marknoll:
I think with BT it takes a while to register to the mic. Imo
[Android Apps and Games] epv:
I have things working pretty reliably for bluetooth now, I set up a tasker profile to restart utter! when the BT headset is in use, and this way it seems to always get audio from BT.

Now trying to get some email setup to work, I'm using K9 mail rather than the builtin gmail app or whatever. Was thinking instead of defining a command in Utter! to run a tasker task to send email using something like SendSilentMail, but I need to figure out if it's possible to pass recognized speech as text to the tasker task.
[Android Apps and Games] SteamCards:
Working fine here, thanks.

Funny, I purchase Klets and used it until deciding that Utter was far superior. Interesting how things go.

Well, I updated to 3.12 found at the link you provided. At first, this appeared to "fix" things. But not for long. First I tested just using the phone's mic and speaker. It worked fine with contacts having 2 and 3 numbers. I think tried using my BT which is how I generally use Utter. I then started getting the "canceled" I originally described. Shutting off the BT headset and trying again with the phone's mic/speaker and now I get "canceled" there too. Very strange indeed.
[Android Apps and Games] aceloq:
thanks .... good app
[Android Apps and Games] markworksfx:
Klets is a joke compared to utter
[Android Apps and Games] JLPDA:
Unfortunately, just too many "ambient noise" errors with Utter! I don't need all the bells and whistles, just a stable voice controlled phone/contact dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] marknoll:
Question...what version of Google app you got? If it's 4.4+, then that's your problem. For some awful reason,Google app 4.4+ isn't compatible with utter. I just flash an old version of gapps. Turn off update automatically in play store though as play store will update the Google app and u will be at square one again. This is what I had to do

Then u should consider cyberon voice command. It does phone dialing extremely well. I basically use utter for hands free texting, launching Nav location and Google search.. If support returns, I would/could use it for more.

Running under Lollipop 5.0.1 (equivalent ; ViperOS) on HTC One M8. Whatever manner I activate Utter with, after I get the voice acknowledgement (e.g. "I'm listening"), the microphone input won't activate (including the microphone icon appearing) until I do something like open an app or pull down the top menu. Everything else seems to work fine. I've tried with Google & IVONA voices.

On a non-rooted Asus Transformer Eee Pad, running ICS 4.0.3, I get:

- screen notice that I do not have root access

- press button anyway

- I say android system reboot

- utter asks if I want to grant SU

- I respond with yes

- utter feels sleepy (but nothing else happens)

I would suggest that since you are able to detect that I don't have SU (via the button), that utter would tell me that it can't perform the command rather than walking down the conversation path. Just my $.02.

Great work as always!!

Did you try the method Brandall gave me? Mine started working after I did it.

"If you delete the utter folder completely from the sdcard and restart the app, it should work properly... "

Sent from Brooklyn NY...
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Just to confirm, when you say can't 'reboot' do you mean reboot to recovery or bootloader or normal reboot? Or them all? Or just normal reboot??

Your $.02 is what is supposed to happen when no root is detected! Doh! Thanks for letting me know - I'll take a look back at my code and see why it isn't working that way...

+1 Thanks - Could you let me know if the utter folder exists on the sdcard and if it exists on the device /data/utter ? Deleting the sdcard folder should recreate the /data/utter folder when the application restarts - I'll correct this later and post an update.

On other past projects I've had issues with some ROMs refusing to allow files to remain in /data/ - I hope that issue still isn't around...

Was gonna point out that Samsung implemented something very similar to Utter in the Galaxy S III ... they call it S Voice ... you can wake the phone up be saying a phrase and it wakes and waits for your next command.

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V1.8.6A up!

Thanks for the testing and feedback earlier. It's appreciated as always.

Few minor changes in this one:

When root is not available, it will correctly say so and disable the buttons.

Check on /data/utter/ directory in case it was removed during wipe/flash etc.

I think that's it... ?

Just to let you know what I'm going to be up to - I'm closing in on funding again and hope that a kickstarter is well on its way to being launched - I'm planning a joint venture with a company set up in the US, so that gets around not being able to do a Kickstarter here in the UK - The UK options are crap...

I have project documents to complete etc and they will take a lot of time. That's my focus right now, but when I get the chance I'm going to work on the next version which allows user assignment of any string to perform any of the functions you've seen so far. Also you'll be able to configure your own 'thanks' as well.

Fingers crossed that sometime soon, I'll have dedicated Java support and will be able to blow you away with the releases. Looking forward to when I can just concentrate on the logic and interaction of utter! and have the Java construct headaches done by someone else!

Bring it on! :cool:
