Hi there, just started using utter! on my Nexus 5 yesterday, and I am having some issues getting the sound effects to work. When I use "se~sound", "se~sound.ogg", "~se~sound , ", or any other variation I can think of, utter will instead say "sound efffect sound" or "sound effect sound dot ogg", and not play the sound effect. I have double and tripple checked to make sure I have correct spelling, that the files are in utters /sound_effects/ directory, all to no avail.

The only thing I can think of is that the Nexus 5 has no external storage, and instead emulates it off the single built in SD card. Utter, and the sound effects, all show up in both the actual root of the SD card, as well as the emulated storage portion, so I am not sure where else to go from here.

Is there a way I can manually set a directory for utter! to pull SE's from, or am I doing something wrong here after all?

--Edit--

I did a little more poking around, and I can get a collection of WAV files to work if I do a custom phrase with just the sound effect.

I suppose I should also ask, is it possibly that I am trying to set a sound effect as a part of it's wake up message?

Lost Network Connection

I've just done a complete re-install of Utter! I've Fixed Permissions, wiped the caches, installed a new ROM.

Still, I get "I lost the network connection".

I've used troubleshooting successfully. I'm bewildered.

Utter

Hi,

Where is the video to help. i cant get hellp with your utterj program. i've sent you emails.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
demonstration video

There's a YouTube demonstration video that I'm sure you've seen because it's on the play store, and also a YouTube link within the Utter application. There are no help videos. The app has good instructions, and a good user guide. There is a voice tutorial built into the app's menu also, which is well worth the effort. Any further help required can be received within this forum.

Good luck :)

Is there a way to make Google Keep reminders or notes?

Also I use shuttle+ as a music player is it possible to make it recognize that as a music player and play music?

Man, have had lots of "network issues" errors on yesterdays latest build while on Bluetooth.

Haven't had time to really narrow down what circumstances cause it.

Haven't used Utter for a couple weeks till Yesterday. I'll try to get more details and logcat if it will help.

EDIT: this issue was due to a different app manipulating the mic and had nothing to do with Utter.
[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:
I don't know about Google Keep, but Utter! is able to do this. It's great software, maybe give it a shot.
[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:

I've had a win with Offline Recognition FINALLY, thanks to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549644

I note that with Text to Voice Settings when I have Pico TTS selected the English US subtext reads ... is fully supported, but with Utter! TTS, the subtext is ...requires network connection.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Can you rephrase how you got it working. I'm sorry, I just can't understand what you said even with the link. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:
themadproducer, did you through the link I sent? Which part didn't make sense - I'd really like to see you have success with this, because it has dogged me for about a year! PM me if you are still struggling.

I suggest for you to do this with minimum pain, that you use ROM Toolbox - I think the free version will be sufficient. It has a ROM Browser option that will enable you to change the Permissions per file.

I've tried to distill the instructions below (with thanks to arafsheikh and various others including Lord Childe):

Download this file.

http://dl.google.com/android/voice/en-US-v28.zip

1) Extract the file to this folder /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/<here>

Once extracted you'll see, \data\data\com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox \app_g3_models\en-US

3) Change permissions of all files to -rw-rw-rw- or chmod 666

Then

The problem is that you need all the pieces of the jigsaw to fit – I can only show you how the thing works for me.

Make sure the language pack is just named ‘eng-US’ (without the version). I didn’t have to mess about with permissions

Using Wolfram Alfa

Hey everybody,

I'm new to Wolfram alpha, and I've decided give it a go since the fix in the latest update.

Can somebody help me, and share a way to get utter just to search and speak the knowledge base answers without showing the Wolfram alpha app. I'd just like it all to work in the background so that it seems as if Utter knows everything :)

One BUG I've noticed;

In the 'try again' configuration, I have it set to handle unknown commands by asking Chabot. If I state "Question, what is the world's largest volcano?" Utter opens Wolfram alpha, I see my question correctly displayed in the Wolfram search bar, and I get a correct answer.

GREAT! So far so good.....

However, if I set the 'try again' configuration to handle unknown commands with Wolfram alpha and ask the same question, utter opens Wolfram alpha but no correct answer! In this case I see the Wolfram alpha search bar has been filled in with strange syntax ; "what%20 is%20 the%20worlds%20largest%20volcano%20"

Anybody else able to replicate my problem?

As a newbie to Wolfram alpha, all help would be appreciated :)

Hello. I just downloaded this app. First, I want to say congratulations on what appears to be an amazing application. However, I am pulling my hair out with something that is probably an easy fix. I created a shortcut on my home screen for utter!. I can use it once and it works perfectly. Every subsequent attempt gives me a message that says, "there was an audio recording error." I don't understand why it would work once and never again unless I remove the shortcut and add it again. If I open utter! itself and tap on the microphone at the top right of the screen, it works every single time. What could be going wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I traced this "network issue" to my DailyRoads Voyager. Or at least, I get that error when DailyRoads is videorecording in the background (with mic turned off). But if I freeze DailyRoads, then the network-issue errors went away.

Just limited testing so far.

[Android Apps and Games] hannibalmoot:
I have a question. I've been making some individual tasks in Tasker that automatically kill some apps that I know don't release the microphone when they are done and this has worked well for allowing utter to take over again.

But there are still times when something will tie up the recognizer and not release it and I'm not able to figure out what app it is. What is the name of the actual process for the recognizer so I could make a task just to kill that process? Sometimes, I've had to reboot so utter and even Google Now can access the recognizer again.

Kudos and requests

Ben Randall and utter! RULE THE WORLD!! :good: :good:

I had to become a member here just so I could say that! ;)

Per Ben's recommendations to me in my support emails, after working my way around utter!'s user guide, Tasker's user guide, various online resources, and this incredible thread, I have truly begun to develop the conversational control device I was looking for.

Merging Ben's text-reading examples for utter!/Tasker integration along with his Voice Data Receiver profile, I now have a sequence that let's me know I have a text and asks me if I want it read.

I can then reply not only the (perhaps not so) obvious "yes," but also nearly unlimited positive responses, including but not limited to, "Sure, why not?" or "I've got a few minutes, yeah," and she will read it. On the other hand, I can say, "no," "not now," or "maybe later," and she will politely defer.

Oh, and by the way, the same conversational yes/no dialog control can now be used in any of the commands or sequences I initiate or manage through Tasker.

AWESOME.

From the feature request side, I have to +1 EVERYTHING that Aayush has asked for in utter!. I think he and I are on the same page with where we want to take her.

Moreover, I would love it if we could control (i.e. edit or more importantly, SILENCE) all aspects of utter's responses from Tasker. Specifically:

- Permanent recognition wake-up response

- All recognition fails

In other words, I'd like her to talk when I WANT her to talk, and remain quiet when I'd prefer it that way. Perhaps a switch or some other variable in the Send Intent?

Again, I am already loving this program and can see it over time becoming my most valuable productivity/entertainment tool. A big thank you.

Oh, and last but not least, I have bought you Ben a beer and dinner ... how do I get that Easter Egg? :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
The Utter! permanent recognition mode already does the same thing. Google are way behind. Utter responds to my wake phrase even when the phone is in mypocket :) Interesting if Google have really found a way to save the battery though.
[Android Apps and Games] Keow:
Yeah.. Utter already have permanent recognition but problem is, it highly consume battery power and also the phone will become hot after long used.

Not like Moto which have dedicated always listen mic. Therefore, always listen will consume lot of battery for other phone.

Anyone using the latest Google search 3.5.14, Maybe can let us know whether it will consume lot of battery power. If google really found a way, maybe [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] can replicated it soon to utter (excited!!)
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful.

Awesome indeed! How are you achieving this? Would you mind sharing the descriptions of the relevant Tasker profiles? I have it set to read the names of the senders of incoming texts and I use [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]’s VoiceDataReceiver project to get Utter to do custom things (like changing the sub-zero brightness using the Screen Filter app and opening the IMDb page for celebrities and movies/tv shows in the IMDb app by saying “look up <name>”), but I cannot imagine how you’re getting to ask you questions and associate your responses with them. Well, I can imagine it, but it would be incredibly complex and prone to failure the way I’m thinking it could be achieved. Surely you must have figured out a simpler way that I’m unable to conceive. And I assume you do still have to deal with Utter saying that it heard no response when you ignore its questions?

I’m so glad someone finally said this. :D

I think a better way to achieve this is by doing what AutoVoice does in permanent recognition mode. It keeps listening for the right commands and responds to them as you’d expect it to, but silently ignores all the other gibberish it hears. It’s essentially streaming voice recognition, exactly the same as Utter itself uses to detect its wake up phrase. If it could be made to work with all commands, without the need to say the wake up phrase, that would be pretty spectacular.

Moto X's Language Processing hardware

I've got a Moto X but Google Now is not customizable enough. I like Utter, but having it "Always Listening" drains the battery more than having Google Now always listening. If I understand things correctly, it's because the Moto X has a dedicated processor for the speech recognition? Can Utter use this core? Can I replace Google Now with Utter without using extra resources?
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
Thanks. This is exactly how I'd imagined you must have done it. While it sounds fantastic, I know I'd be bugged no end by Utter's constant "no speech" errors if I set it up that way. Still cool though. [emoji41]
[Android Apps and Games] aryankirtan:
Hello guys!

This is amazing application! I just loved him (I mean utter! because it is like Jarvis for me ;) so I call 'him' instead of 'it'!)

I was wondering if there is any setting that I can interrupt response of utter!

Like whenever he speaks long sentences, and I say "stop" or "okay" or "ok ok" or any custom phrase and it stops speaking.

Sometimes, it is very annoying when it just continue speaking even when I know about it. I have to wait till it stops speaking and beep to get new command.

Bug Report - Really Weird Response

Ok guys,

Mr Rockguru (ie the Hubs) used the Ask Yahoo response in utter! to " Ask Yahoo - that voodoo you do so well" and caused utter! to stop working. This happened on both this Samsung Galaxy s3 mini 4.1.2 - and his Samsung Galaxy TabPro 8.4 Tablet running 4.4.2.

What happened on the screen was that utter! was showing in the notification bar that utter! was still 'computing' but popped the Utter! stopped working box on the screen.

Now not sure which app had the nervous break either Utter! or Ask Yahoo but as my hubs is blind this caused him to think the Tablet had locked up as there is no verbal notification when that pops up.

PS. The Oldblindbugger really loves Utter! and wants it to keep on going from strength to strength, and he's making me learn Tasker (aaaggghh bloody programming) to get more out of it....:D

[MENTION=5923233]aryankirtan[/MENTION]

I don't use permanent recognition but rather....I use the app "Gesture Navigation" to perform a manual gesture on any screen to activate Utter to listen..., and at any point while Utter is listening or talking, I can repeat that same Gesture and it will stop Utter in 'HIS" tracks. This is very handy for me even when Utter is listening to my command and I am fumbling it....or if something glitches during announcing or commanding.

I have an utter feature suggestion: Create an utter IME. It would be sweet to just say "Type: blah blah blah" and have it enter whatever I said wherever my cursor is.. IME is fairly easily changed, but changing IME could also be a Superuser function, enabled automatically when the "Type" command is used and then switched back to the previous IME after the Type command is done.

EXCELLENT WORK BEN!! Truly awesome.

There is a application called enigma2 Voice Control ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appminent.e2voicecontrol&hl=de )

something like this

a) utter + framework for tv ? - i dont know

b) tasker ?

I can use this function on bulletproof or elementarx on htc one to wake up my mobile.

The battery live with this function is very good. But it is a kernel function.

or something like GMD Gesture Control ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=de)

-> but then the screen needs to be on

Kudos to the developer!

I just learned about this application last night and have been researching ever since. Ben you have done a wonderful job and the features are awesome. I have a ways to go in learning bother Utter and Tasker, but I can see how anything we want can be achieved.

Just letting you guys know one of the tasks/utter I performed is as follows.

Note 3 - SVOICE

1. The Note3 has a built-in function to launch SVOICE when saying 'Hi-Galaxy'. Using Tasker, I place a command for the following:

Svoice is launched --> 1. Turn up media volume to 9

--> 2. Go Home

--> 3. Wait 2 seconds

--> 4. Launch App Utter! QL

--> 5. Wait 15 seconds

--> 6. Send intent command:2

--> 7. Kill App SVOICE

Seems to be working OK for now. Let's me use the phone's native 'always listening' function and by sending the Intent Command 2, I can keep Utter going while I want it to without touching it. When I am done, I simply say 'Stop Listening'.

My only other Tasker/Utter is to use Intent Command:2 when the device is plugged in and charging.

I am going to keep an eye out on this page for any one else that has neat Tasker/Utter profiles. Any one that has some great ones, please feel free to pass my way!

Thanks and keep up the good work Ben :good::good:

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] I sumbitted an utter tts error report, you can ignore it.. I forgot about setting it to us-eng..

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

Here is the custom phrase that I use to demo utter..

NOTE: The horrible spelling below is intentional!!

When I ask "Who are you?"

A british voice (love the accent) says:

" i am a sam sung galaxy ess 5 .. my snapdragon see pee you, is currently over clocked to 2 point 8 9 9 gig a hurts .. my benchmark score is 42 thousand 6 hundred and 72 .. this makes me the fastest smart phone in the world, and i am currently ranked as the number 2 android device, of all devices, of all time .. initiating self destruct protocol, 9 0 0 x, inn? seven . six . five, four, three, two, one, zero.. zero. BOOM.. zear ear ear ear ear ear ear ear ear zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zuh zero .. BOOM.. ha Ha, ha ha Ha Ha, I serve my master dave, goodbye, evil, world.. BOOM "

I follow this command with a "superuser reboot" or "what is the weather in London?"

ALWAYS IMPRESSES and gets a smile.

Then people will show me how they "can do that with Ok Google".. So, I show them the seamless transition to 'Ok Google' and say, "So can I.."

The "..zuh zuh ear ear.." is to simulate a broken TTS engine, emulating a self-destruction.
