So I just uninstalled utter from my phone, cleared all utter data, then installed the latest test build back on to both my nexus 5 and 10, music still cutting off on the n5 but works perfectly on the n10, tried another music player,uninstalled any apps that I thought might be causing a clash but no joy, guess I'll have to live with it for now ?

Works perfectly offline.

Tried online visual enable shows it comes up with two results: the first is correct(213-435-6456) the second is incorrect( 213-4355-6456) it then dials the second number and comes up with wrong number.

Hi folks, back for some quick replies as head down getting the next test build sorted.

Appreciate all posts greatly, if I've overlooked something, please don't hesitate to ask again :good:

Thanks for your support :good: I'm still working on them steadily, but it's complex, so not sure they will make the Play Store release, but I'll definitely release something on here soon to test out.

The audio recording error is when more than one application (which could include utter! x 2) tries to use the mic.

Is there something in your set-up where you could be trying to start it twice? Wanted to confirm you don't get the audio recording error when simply starting the wake up phrase manually?

Thanks for your testing skills :good: See below for more info. I'll definitely link it to the call confirmation Setting in the next build.

Thanks for confirming :good: As above, I'll make sure the confirmation is optional.

I'll have to see about adding it as an option, as users are pretty fussy about what does and doesn't appear on their displays.

I see what you are saying :good: A separate mute option should be in there.

Thanks for confirming :good: see below

Thanks for the heads-up :good: Will see what that has broken! DOH! :(

Thank you for the precise bug report! :good: :good: I'll run those numbers through my code and see why I'm kicking out the top option as a genuine number.

Thanks for confirming, see below! :good:

GIVE IT BACK!!! :laugh:

Welcome to the thread :cowboy:

---------------------------------------

Again, thanks for all of the above.

NEW BUGS

Wolfram|Alpha integration - I've a favour to ask please. If you are a Wolfram|Alpha user, could you say to utter! 'question +anything' - When W|A crashes, could you press 'report' to send it to them. I've emailed them, but a few bug reports to go along with the issue would no doubt bump it up their priority list!

Wake-up-phrase - My new implementation was shut down. I've got it working again and will post the fix later. If it does fail, it falls back to the original WUP implementation, which is why you'll still be getting the stuttering.

EXISTING BUGS

Still trying to get my head around the agenda announcing the previous days events for some. I'll crack it soon!

THANKS

A big thanks to you all of course, but also to [MENTION=5050900]aryayush[/MENTION] for his article posted earlier - http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2014/05/17/mastering-voice-control-android-going-beyond-google-now/

1) Your followup to our posts are 2nd to none! Bravo. :good:

2) As you are chasing down the "Time Travel" calendar bug, I hope I don't come across insulting, if I mention or remind you that with my testing... it is clearly an issue 12am being recognized as the start time for the PREVIOUS day. So if I have an "all day event" on Wednesday, Utter actually sees it as 2 days spanning 12am Tuesday to 11:59pm Wednesday.

3) Wolfram....sent a bug report. ;)

Notifications Working...but a problem with Google Search?

Hi Ben,

I love the notifications part of Google Search and Utter reads them back with no issues...however...

When I set a reminder I get the following message below and throughout the day I'm assuming when google accesses or updates your location....

a) if I exclude either of the Google Search items in the accessibility settings of Utter, then I get no reminders

b) I've also tried the Exclude Content section but that doesn't seem to work.

"a notification from Google Search but I couldn't extract the content"

If anyone knows which activity is causing this, I would like to know.

>>>>>>wondering if it might be the "google services framework"???

Increasing Wake-Up-Phrase Detection

I'm using a Android computer that's always plugged into power, so my utter initiation is the Wake-Up-Phrase. I have tried a ton of different external microphones but they all seem to do worse than I'd like in detecting my Wake-Up-Phrase. Examples of my wake-up-phrases: "charles", jarvis", "hello house", "ok house". If I'm about a foot or less from the microphones they work great, but since these will be located on my ceiling in each room of my house, I need the gain to be super high to be able to detect my voice from about 10 feet or less. Obviously omni-directional mics would be best, which is what I'm using, but I believe there is some software tweaks that I should be able to do in order to increase the probability of it registering the wake-up-phrase. The devs of my Android platform do not have an Engineer mode that I can go in and easily tweak the kernal, which they've mentioned the audio portion is entirely dependent on the Linux roots. My device is rooted.

So, basically I'm asking if anyone has a suggestion on how to increase the initiation rate so that utter will wake up using the wake-up-phrase from a distance using an external microphone. Or, if anyone has success in using a 3.5mm microphone or possibly a usb one with android that also has the ability to increase the gain physically on the mic that'd be helpful too. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I made this mistake once a long time ago, during one of my lengthy multiple replies - My phone did not survive.... :mad:

Are you running a custom ROM? The app should work best with Kit Kat. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Search updates, then reboot.

Hmmm... thanks for reporting it :good: This means the new implementation is failing for you and it's falling back to the old version. I've put a trigger in the app to only allow it to fail once and never try again, to avoid a bad experience...

I'm going to put a temporary toggle in the next build so you can retry the new version and hopefully I can grab a log from you to see what's going on.

Until then, only uninstalling and reinstalling will clear the trigger, but you might lose the commands you can't export properly.....

Thanks for this Gary, I can replicate and it's an issue....

If you set a reminder in Google Now and then click 'View Reminders', you'll see that an extremely short-lived 'G' icon appears in the notification bar. This shouldn't be necessary under any circumstances and must be a bug - I'll report it to them.

Unfortunately it does come from Google Search itself, so your only choice is to exclude that app...... As there is no content, there's nothing to exclude there.

Can you give me an example of a notification from Google Search that you'd like utter! to announce please? If I can replicate, then maybe I can spot some difference between them and find a way to prevent them triggering :good:

Thanks for posting this :good: Somehow I'd deleted it off my to-do list and it's quite important!

It seems Google is no longer 'ducking' the audio when the recognition is taking place, so I need to handle this in the app now.

Hopefully in the next test build!

I can't help you out on suggestions for hardware I'm afraid, but I am going to add an option soon to 'train' the wake-up-phrase. It all too often hears White House or Wacko (?) for me, so I could do with adding those in as alternatives.

Can't promise which build, but it will appear at some point.

Just updated to the new apk you posted yesterday and it seems to be working a lot better now. I can initialize it from across the room. I'll try and work on better microphone location, maybe bouncing it off the corner I plan on locating these in will help.

Any plans for 8track integration? Something like: "play a station/playlist with the following tags: blah blah blah" I've tried the activity: 8tracks(.ui.activities.SearchActivity) but it doesn't do anything. Also tried your new Search App command but it doesn't show up as a searchable app.

[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
@brandall

I installed the logging version.

Results are in the attached zip below.

Here is the test setup and verbal results.

(note: answers are not the exact words that utter said)

Today is May 19

First, I set up 3 all day events in my calendar:

May 20 all day event = Time travel 20

May 21 all day event = Time travel 21

May 22 all day event = Time travel 22

Questions asked in this order:

What's my schedule May Twentieth - "you have 2 events, Time Travel 20 and Time travel 21.

What's my schedule May Twenty-First - "you have 2 events, Time Travel 22 and Time travel 23.

What's my schedule May Twenty - "you have no events today.

What's my schedule May Twenty-one - "you have no events today.

UPDATE: The 3rd and 4th test, show an example of how Utter prefers an "ordinal suffix" rather than just the plain number. EG

Twentieth

rather than just

Twenty

. This issue does not prevail for all calendar dates. Some numbers work fine without the suffix.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Ben,

I tested by saying "remind me in 5 minutes to take the dogs out"
[Android Apps and Games] MrsRockguru:
Time Travel

This maybe completely out of left field, but is it possible that Utter! is hooking the wrong time zone and seeing events on seperate days as both took part off an "utter day". Defining an "utter day" as a 24hr period overlapping portions of two adjacent days.

'Disclaimer: Not my idea but my poor mad blind husband who is trying to get the app to work for him, (use to be a sane IT manager when he could see)....

PS: carry on the good work, looked at the other similar offerings and think that Utter will be the best to work with on devices in his world..

[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5837865]MrsRockguru[/MENTION]

Thanks for your input. :good:

I don't think time zone is a factor in this case.

Utter is seeing a full day as 12:01am to 12am

It should instead be 12am to 11:59pm

As a workaround, when I change the start times of all day events to 12:01am MANUALLY, everything works as should...but of course, this would be an ongoing hassle and technically incorrect.

Either this feature is not popular yet or it is rom specific...because no one else seems to be reporting the issue or offering any input?
[Android Apps and Games] MrsRockguru:
Time Travel mark2

Ok, so time zones is a strong way to put it, but I in my own way I was right "Utter Time" is one second out.

BTW: Have my own annoyance with utter and time, I always have all my time devices set to 24hr clock. But if I ask Utter the time at 17:55 she kindly tells me that it is 5mins to six.......!!!!!!

AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH Can she learn to be more military

Curious cross-over responses between tablet and mobile

I have V3.0.9.1.7B installed on a Nexus 4 mobile and an Asus Transformer tablet. When the two are in close proximity, voice commands to either are responded to by the other, e.g. if I say 'wake up' to the Nexus 4, Utter replies on the Asus.

Other than that, the app is working brilliantly. A truly useful tool which stands head and shoulders above most others.

Unfortunately, Utter has stopped

I'm seeing "Unfortunately, Utter has stopped" frequently when updating other apps via the Play Store. It has been present in the last two beta drops. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with stock 4.3 Android, if that makes any difference.

Let me know what I can do to provide useful debugging information for this interment problem.

Hi there, excellent app! I am using a bluetooth headset to try and deliver commands. I can press the phone key button and launch utter, however, audio recognition is spotty at best. Occasionally it will work correctly, but most of the time it either will not recognize audio input at all or it will recognize it and constantly say fetching from google servers. Any plans to increase compatibility with bluetooth headsets? Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] :
Brandall - I congratulate you on what appears to be an amazing product. Would it be possible to navigate certain applications via voice? As an example, is something like this feasible: "Utter - scroll down 35%" to scroll down 35% of the way while viewing a web page in a browser, for instance?

Also, what about controlling a desktop computer via a Windows application/plug-in?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Cool. I'm not familiar with 8track, but it if doesn't appear in the App list (under SEARCH & PLAY) then it doesn't have this ability I'm afraid - that's what I'd use for integration.

Good work! Thank you :good: I'm going to revisit this later.

Thanks Gary :good: Does Google Now use any notifications that you like to be announced? I haven't played with it much, but can't seem to trigger one.

:laugh: not left field at all, well, it might be, but I haven't solved it yet! Something is a miss, that's all I know!

Thanks for clarifying - I am however setting the start time to 1 millisecond before midnight, but this may be where the issue lies, if the device clock is out.... but, it should be from EPOC time, so I remain puzzled. I'm sure it's a case that I can't see the wood for the trees and I'll crack it later!

If two of you have reported it, then it will definitely be a wide issue come the Play Store release, so appreciate your efforts on it :good:

LOL! 'and iron'? .... Let's go with that!

It's the first request for military timing I've had. I actually get lots of compliments about how utter! naturally announces the time. So outvoted I'm afraid! I get the impression you run a tight ship ;)

Thanks for your support :good: Not really sure what to say about one detected the hot word and not the other.... They aren't connected, so I can only assume the Asus has a very good mic?

Thanks for reporting this, haven't had a force close report in a while!

If you could grab a log when it happens next, it would be greatly appreciated. Best way to do this on the test version (which isn't connected to the Play Store logging) is to go to your Android Settings and Developer Options (**) and press Take bug report.

This generates quite a large logging file and can take a while before you receive a notification saying it is complete. It can contain some sensitive information, so please hit the Send Feeback link in utter! and email it to me privately, rather than posting it on here :good:

** If you don't see the Developer Options, go to the About on your Device. Hit Build Number 5 or 6 times and 'You are now a developer' will pop up and the Developer Options will be visible.

I have to improve Bluetooth support at some point. But it's a huge task... That's all I can say for now I'm afraid, it will get better at some point........

Thanks for your support :good: Unfortunately device control of this type is locked down by Android. This does need to change to support users with disabilities, but the change needs to come from Google themselves, so it's OS wide and app developers can expose their Views to support this.

-------------------------------------------

Thanks as always for the support and feedback! Next test build coming soon.......

Cheers :highfive:

Wake-Up-Phrase Disabling

I use the wake-up-phrase for initiation and sometimes after barking commands at it, it will randomly say "there was an audio recording error" or something like that (it's different than the "there was an ambient noise error"). Once that happens the orange utter notification goes away and if I go into the utter Settings I see that the Wake-Up-Phrase is still enabled (sometimes it disables and red X it too, but most often the orange icon goes away and it's still green checked in the app). I have to disable and then re-enable for it to listen again. Any idea how to not have it do that or a possible fix for it?

Also, when I go into the Customization section of the utter app, the wake-up-phrase disables itself. Don't know if it's supposed to do that or it's just a bug.

Google Now on swipe up disabled with Utter?

Running Kitkat 4.4.2 on Moto X.

Just installed Utter and really like it, but I'm having trouble finding an answer in this forum. To allow Utter to take over voice commands, I changed control of the swipe up feature on my phone's home screen. I used to see all of the Google Now cards...but now, a swipe up activates Utter, and it puts an "I'm listening" alert on my Notification Bar. Is there a way to use Utter without surrendering use of Google Now cards when I swipe up on my Home Screen?
