In the app go to recognition and voices... Google voice search and Google search.. Make sure you download the most current version of each. Reboot your device, then see if that works. If by some chance that doesn't work, in the app go to settings, then the power user section and click enable visual results. When you speak a box will come up with what utter thinks you are saying.

Lemme know!

i wish there was a tutorial on how to use utter offline.

after all, the thread is title utter, Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assistant.

i download the offline voice search, yet utter still say i lost the network connection. :confused:

maybe some1 can post youtube tutorial :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What does "offline" mean, anyway? Is utter! offline only? If it's both offline and online, when is it in each mode, and what is the difference? And what's the relationship between utter! and Google voice search?
[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
I haven't used this since v1.5. Looks like I've been missing out. Glad to be back checking it out.
[Android Apps and Games] boh113:
Good luck with it all I hope you manage to get it working.

For now I think I'll just learn how to use Tasker. Getting a little too frustrated with Llama and Utter! It does look like Tasker's interaction with Utter is better supported and future uses looks really promising.

If you manage to figure out the syntax please let us all know as Llama is a good app with a great UI.

I did find this on the Llama website I don't know how useful it will be to yourself or anyone else

" I want to invoke Llama from the command line. How do I do that? You need to have some event defined that runs some actions, possibly setting a Llama variable. Then try this something like: adb shell am start -a com.kebab.Llama.RunShortcut -n 'com.kebab.Llama/com.kebab.Llama.LauncherShortcutRunnerActivity' -e LlamaType Event -e LlamaData EVENTNAME"

Offline here means, your cellphone can recognize and listen to your voice without needing a connection.. Provided you have (JELLYBEAN)..

NO, utter isn't offline completely.. Because google voice search is not offline completely.. But on jellybean.. You don't need net to activate it unless it's needed (like search Google, or comment on facebook)

Online when nets available otherwise offline.. NO difference in jb except can't give online commands and no can't use in ics

Utter uses google voice search to speak to you.. Just like Google now.. It's google voice search that hears you out.. Figures out what your saying and let's utter know..

I'm not sure if if there's a workaround for offline on ics but Correct me if I'm wrong..

Hope this helps ^^
[Android Apps and Games] rheckr:
Yeah, it's working for me now :D I've downloaded newest version of Google Voice Search.

EDIT: Okay found it: utter! -> Settings -> Power User -> Superuser Permission

How can i add superuser permissions for utter because it didn't ask me for that at first launch? (using Superuser from clockwork)

How can i use utter without internet connection?

I can't find any good working google search (with offline working) for ice cream sandwich :( Every time when i trying to use google now with utter i got non android search bug ;/

PS. Old version (without offline files to download) working good but i can't use utter when offline :(
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Thanks very much for your response, which has cleared up most of my confusion. I just have an additional question, if I may. When you say, "It's google voice search that ... figures out what you are saying and lets utter! know...", do you mean that utter! passes your command to Google voice search (Google Now)?
[Android Apps and Games] Rhishabm:
Well not exactly google now..

I passes through the Google text to speech engine.. Both google now, and utter use that to convert what we are saying into text and do an action accordingly..

As in you could say both use the same brain to understand us! :P
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Ah, I get it. Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:

Offline is only available for Jelly Bean i'm afraid. Just a limitation of these different versions of Android.

can't seem to get this to work, it listens and does what i say but it doesn't speak back, i'm also using ivona.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It's not you or Utter, it's Ivona. It can take so long to process the voice files that it can sometimes cut off the response(s) while waiting on Ivona.

For some it works great, others not so good.

If you switch to say the "pico" voice, do all of your responses work then? You could then try the "google voice" and test the same way. If both of those work, then Ivona has a problem with your device.

NEW IDEA FOR UTTER - in permanent Recognition

SO in permanent recognition "PR" it is impossible to have it on when we are using other voice activities. For example, if I say "Voice note", it won't work because the voice recognition is already used by utter listening. It is the same case for a whole bunch of other apps. If I want to use Gmail and dictate my email, i have to turn off PR and so on...

IDEA:

Being able to setup a PR blacklist (Like halo notifications) where the PR would shut off automatically if the app in question is opened.

I have it working working with a simple Tasker task but having it within the utter system would be much better for people not knowing how to use these stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I just tested this and it works for me.

1. I issued the command "start listening"

2. Issued the "wake up command"

3. After Utter prompted me to speak...."new voice note"

4. It opened up the application "evernote", recorded my note and worked just fine.

Not sure what's causing this problem for you?
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
GL, I think the OP is referring to using voice features of others apps (?), not from within utter. Maybe.

Hey Bruce!

Yeah, I'm not sure, but that's why I spelled it out to see if we're on the same page.

Notifications (Blue Circle) on ATT Atrix (Android 3.4 Fro Yo)

Hi

First I want to say your app ROCKS !!! Have been searching for an app that does what your app does and can be launched several different ways - and yours is BY FAR the best in the Market.

I lauch your app several different ways:

1) Long Press of Search button on front of Phone

2) Button on my Car Home Ultra screen (Thanks for the Shortcut in the Market !!!!)

3) Pressing the little button on my Bluetooth earbud or wired ear buds.

These all work perfect - and actually I have no bugs to report - your app does EVERYTHING I had hoped !!!!

Just a little nusance.

I want to get rid of the little blue circle for Utter in the Notification Bar.

I have a relatively small phone - not one of the larger screen devices - and I really love it. My ATT Atrix 4G is the ONLY phone in the world with a finger print reader - and IT WORKS GREAT !!! Cant beleive they took it off of the Atrix 2 and Atrix HD.

Anyway - since my screen is small I try to keep it - including the notification bar - as clutter free as possible. I cannot seem to get Utter to NOT display the little blue circle in the notifiaciton area. My notifiaction area some times has more notifiacations that it can show due to its relatively small size.

Here is what I have done:

stttings -> power user -> Remove Notfications - Click it to toggle

Voice says "I iwll run in the background when the device first boots"

The blue button disappears for a second .

Then a new notification comes up with the text "Utter has become self aware"

And the blue circle for Utter is Back.

IKill Utter process (force stop service) from System Pannel

Blue circle is gone.

Long hold search button to activate Utter.

Then a new notification comes up with the text "Utter has become self aware"

Utter's synthezied voice says "Say a Command" which is my personnal preference.

Then the notificaiton says "Listeneing"

Then I let it time out - it says "I did not hear any voice".

Blue circle on Notification bar is back (wa wa)

Check setttings -> power user -> Remove Notfications - Now checked with green check

BUT Blue circle just won't stay gone.....

What am I doing wrong ???

Plese help !!

Thanks... Kevin K.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello Kevin!!!

Well, by all rights what you've done should solve the problem. I don't know, because I've never disabled mine from the bar.

So, on your phone go into settings, then manage apps and scroll down to Utter. Pressing on that should bring up the properties.. see if you have a checkmark next to "display notifications". If it is checked, try unchecking that and see if that solves the problem. You might need to reboot and check again.

Only thing I can think of.

Lemme know.

Hi guys wanted to check in to ask if Bluetooth connectivity has been sorted out yet I'm stuck using SVoice but want to use Utter! Or is it still on the to do list thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hi!!

Well, Ben has posted that he has some new material for better Bluetooth but not yet been able to wade through it all. So, that being said, let's just say closer to a solution than we were.

Keep checking back.

[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
When I do the exact same steps, I get a bip then a flash notification "Voice capture failed"

If I stop the permanent recognition "PR" , launch utter again and say "voice note" then everythings works fine.

The same thing happen with text to speech note in evernote.

IF utter is in permanent recognition "PR" and I launch text to speech from the evernote widget, I get an error."Transcription problem"

IF I turn off the PR of utter and hit that same widget, it works.

ALSO yeah, I was as well talking about other app used for voice recognition. I use the swype keyboard and they have Dragon Nuance integrated in the keyboard. SO in that case it probably creates a conflict with the google TTS/ voice recognition active with Utter's PR so, I have to turn PR off. That's why I was talking about a blacklist turning off PR when these apps that could use another voice rec are in use.
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
Hey there folks,

Feel kinda silly asking this, but I just can't seem to find an answer. (Probably just blind)

I've just recently flashed a reasonably stable jb rom and was wondering about the offline recognition aspect of utter. Is there something I need to download to get it to work, or is it something that should be in the rom already?

If I have to download something would y'all be so kind as to post a link or point my silly self in the right direction?

utter is a great app as it stands, but like most of us on here I'm looking for just that little but more. (After figuring out the offline stuff my next mission is to work on the tasker stuff)

Thanks again for the great app and any help y'all can give me on that offline deal
[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
Just to clarify, this only works on devices running Jellybean.

This is a new feature where in Android app settings you can choose to toggle notifications on/off so you won't have access to this option on a device running an older version of Android.
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Somehow this question keeps coming...

In the keyboard/language setting you need to download the offline language.

Look in the Google voice typing setting and you will find it!

It is also under speech setting/voice search. Same thing. Hope this helps!

thanks for the quick response.

I am using an ATT Atrix 4G (Andriod 2.3.6 - Kernel Version 2.6.32.9).

When I go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Utter

I see a bunch of information (Force Stop and Uninstall at the top, Clear data, Clear Cache, Clear Defaults, Share, Then the permissions)

I do not see any place to uncheck "Display Notifications".

Am I looking in the right place ?

My Atrix is Rooted and I am not a neewbe....

Any other suggestions for my version of Android.

Utter support for Nitrodesk Touchdown

I have the latest Utter installed and the latest Touchdown installed.

This is how I originally started:

I can say to my Android/Atrix Phone "Email John Doe"

Utter says "OK what do you want to say to John Doe"

I then say "Hello John"

Utter says "And the Subject"

I then say "Test email to John"

Utter says "OK this is what I heard - Hello John" - "Do you want to proof red it ?" (Utter miss pronounces READ as RED"

I then say "No"

Then touchdown pops up on my phone with the correct text in the email subject and body - BUT utter says "Go to the linked

applicaitons and setup my email account".

Again I use Touchdown (for Outlook exchange) so the options in this section (@gmail/@live/@yahoo) did not make sense but I tried it anyway.

I entered my email address "jdoe@myemail.com" and password for Outlook and pressed validate. Utter took the info and said it was sending me a test email - which I never got.

so I then tried a voice email again....

I say to my Android/Atrix Phone "Email John Doe"

Utter says "OK what do you want to say to John Doe"

I then say "Hello John"

Utter says "And the Subject"

I then say "Test email to John"

Utter says "OK this is what I heard - Hello John" - "Do you want to proof red it ?" (Utter miss pronounces READ as RED"

I then say "No"

Touchdown pops up on my phone again with the correct text in the email subject and body - BUT now utter says" Something went wrong when trying to automatically send that email"

Everything works up to the actual sending of the email. And if I push the send button on Touchdown I get the email just fine with the correct subject and body.

SO CLOSE - it just doesn't send !!!

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,

KJK

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Sorry I am still a bit confused.

What only works on Jellybean - the ability to toggle the notifications on/off in Utter, or the ability to toggle the notifications on/off in the Android app Manager settings of all applications ? I have several other apps intalled on my phone that have the ability to display notifications - that also give the user the option to enable or disable those notificatins AND I am able to turn off those notifications within that applications supplied parameter choices (not from the overall Android App manager settings).

So it appears to me that the ability to turn on/off notificaitons is available to applications at my phones level of Andriod.

KJK
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
If you did not receive the test email you are not properly linked to Utter. Happened to me once when I input my credentials incorrectly and I received the same message you described.

Not sure what you mean by this...... (so the options in this section (@gmail/@live/@yahoo) Does this mean you can receive for all 3 types of mail with Touchdown)?

You can try authenticating again, maybe with just "jdoe@gmail.com" and see if you receive the "test email". If that doesn't work, it may be something Ben needs to look at since I'm thinking the app was structured for GMail?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
See the screenshot. Ability to toggle notifications on and off in the "Android" system is only avail. on Jelly Bean. Utter uses a "persistent notification" process that keeps it from being killed by other android processes.

The other type of notifications that you speak of are those that are "sent" by an app to the notification bar for user interaction...there is a difference.

When we tested this yesterday with another user it DOES keep the Icon from reenabling in the bar, but he is on a JB Rom as am I.

Hope this makes sense.

Speech server error

Hi Guys,

Now I finally got JB for my Samsung Galaxy Beam so I was eager to test utter in offline mode, but I get "there was a speech server error" when I disable my internet connection..any ideas please? :confused:

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
On your phone go to Language and input

*check that you have Google Voice Typing and that there is a checkmark next to it.

Then Text to Speech Output

Tap the settings for Google Text to speech

Download "offline voice data"

Once you've downloaded, you should probably reboot, enable airplane mode, then issue a command to Utter for something NOT requiring a connection such as "settings" and hopefully...that will do it.

All devices are different..so it may or may not work the first time. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Pretorian187:
thanks for the fast reply, so google voice typing is enabled, in google text to speech I chose english uk but when I go to Install voice data I only go the languages german, italian, french and spanish? what about the english one? I guess I have it already somehow installed? So I just follow the airplane suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Make sure you go into the Utter app and in settings click on the English Voice Engine, select Google Text to Speech and then check the English UK.

Then try airplane mode.

If you get that to work, then you can always update the Text to Speech to English US after.

For some reason...it seems that the UK needs to work for the others to work.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Just to add to GL's remarks, if you go to your phone's settings/voice search/download offline speech recognition, you should be able to see what's installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
I'm sorry guys but I've looked everywhere and the only things that talk about downloading don't say anything about offline recognition. As with the other poster all I get are languages other than English I've turned everything I could find to English/UK. I'm gonna reboot and see if it helped, but I'm starting to think not.

The best I can get is the "speech server error" message.

Update: So I'm thinking with that message that I don't have those offline recognition files. But I don't see anyplace that says anything about downloading them. I got Google now working just fine and utter works great with a data connection. Is there any place else those files can be gotten from?

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Felt I needed another post for this.

When I go into the the settings for language and input and choose Pico I get a list of installed languages, two of which are English UK and US. Hmm, weird.

I'm going try and change the default voice engine in utter to Pico and see what I get.

I'll post back with results for those riding in the same boat I am

Update: switched to Pico still nothing. I'm stumped. Guess I'll just be using utter with data enabled. Unless somebody knows how to get those files without going through the phone.

Thanks for all the help guys, can't say I didn't try and that y'all didn't help. I guess Mick was right when he said you can't always get what you want. Sure as hell couldn't get what I needed now could I either? Lol...oh well
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Go into the utter app and do the following:

Click on recognition and voices:

Update the voice search and Google voice search to the latest versions.

Once done, reboot, cross fingers, and hope that does it!

Lemme know... I'll be here.

Mick doesn't know what he's talking about:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
Did as you suggested, and it shows installed for both voice search & Google voice search. Didn't give me an option to update either of them. I'm going to try uninstalling/reinstalling them and see what I get.

That would be the next step!
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
Ok was able to uninstall updates on the one app but not the other, reinstalled what I could (Google voice search) rebooted, went into airplane mode. Still getting speech server message. Didn't think it'd change it but I put the utter notification back on my status bar. Still nada.
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
Been doing some research. Think this thread may have the answer for those of us not able to find the offline download files, or because of something about our custom roms. Haven't gone all the way through with it, but it looks promising. Anybody with more knowledge want to take a look see and verify it that'd be cool. I'll run through the procedure and post back with results when I'm done. :)

Ken,

This was posted back on June 21st from another user-

I am using a Sony xperia z with stock firmware (Australian stock through Telstra), I noticed that although I had the option for downloading offline voice data, the offline voice search never worked. I have since downloaded the IVONA hq app and Amy UK voice data, for some reason I can now use the offline voice without a data connection. Don't know how this fixed it but it worked for me. How this helps in someway.

**I would not download the IVONA as it's very large.

Unfortunately, it seems every device is different and I can't seem to pinpoint an exact process to get offline access to work for everyone. I had 1 user that was missing the Google Voice Typing and once they got that everything worked fine. It's very confusing.

**As a last resort I would try the SVOX UK voice mentioned above and.....I've got this weird feeling that its gonna work :silly:

Anyway, lemme know the outcome.
