Custom ROM...I have used Utter very successfully with Stock ROM, and either AOSP or Cyanogen based ROMS with no issues.

There could be a multitude of problems causing your issues and unfortunately I don't have all the answers. I've had users where Google Now and it's voice engine stripped from the ROM and that also creates its own set of problems.

I can only recommend one thing to try...Uninstall Utter, also remove its directory from the SD or Internal storage on the device.

Reboot

Reinstall and see if that helps your problem.

Sorry I can't provide a definite fix for you though. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] loribuono:
Fair enough. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Can't say on the final version...as of yet. I can only tell you that there might be some "very bright light" at the end of the tunnel and we might see some major advancements in the very near future. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] denfokas:
Good luck! Any thoughts about my second question:) ?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Don't know. Not really restarting..just adding new features mostly for developmental exposure. Hoping soon to have more than just 1 person doing it all.

That's the only holdup at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] loribuono:
Seems like a great app and lots of people are getting a lot of use out of it. But I'm totally giving up on this, on my phone at least. Might try it on my tablet and see if things are different.

I sat in the car yesterday literally yelling at the thing to get it to do something. Every 6 o 7 tries, it would. Mostly, it either gave me the ambient noise error, told me it was sorry but it didn't understand that command or just did nothing. Sometimes, it'll beep to let me know when it's time to speak. Other times it'll vibrate, even though I've got it set to never vibrate. Sometimes it does nothing, and I don't know it's listening until it tells me it didn't hear any speech.

And the shake-to-wake thing... I've shaken the crap out of it... and nothing. But then I type something on my keyboard and it starts listening to me.

Just not working right on my Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Sorry this isn't working for you. Might very well be worth a shot on the tablet.

FYI-the Ambient Noise Error has been reported to Google as of the 15th along with some code. They were not aware of the problem, so hopefully this might be cleared in a future update.
[Android Apps and Games] loribuono:
Trying it on my Galaxy Note 10.1. At least it's faster, so that may have been some of the trouble on my phone. Still getting the ambient noise error, which I understand is being looked at. But also, the permanent recognition icon (red) periodically goes away. For instance, I told it to play an artist, and it did. But the red icon went away, requiring me to select Utter! from the notification bar again, tell it to "start listening" and then I get the red icon back. If I have to do that often, it defeats the purpose of that feature.

Anyone else experiencing this, or am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You're not doing anything wrong...remember that we're working on a Beta..but to explain-

The permanent recognition has been set to disable while playing in order not to cause problems with the music player with a "timeout" feature that is supposed to reenable itself after 5 minutes. This may or may not work on all devices, but must people don't know, so they just assume it's disabled. I haven't tested personally, but did get this from the developer.

There's quite a lot of stuff in the air regarding development...what I mean is that right now Ben is the sole developer, but we may see some assistance very soon and then it will all come together.

P.S. Thank you so much for your questions and updates too!! Without people like yourself, we wouldn't be half as far as we are!!! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] loribuono:
Okay, makes sense. Thanks!

OK guys I need some help, can I use this app with Bluetooth if so how can I enable it ? I be working and I can't be picking my phone up just tobsay wake up so Bluetooth is the best option for me...can y'all help me out plz
[Android Apps and Games] RHExcelion:
I would like to request to be able to use custom sound effects anywhere where it's possible to choose what Utter says back to you, ie. the Custom Intro, Wake-up-Phrase, etc.

It would also be nice to be able to customize what Utter says when it fails to recognize a command (the "I didn't catch that" or "Could you say that again?", etc.).

Frankly, for my purposes, I'd like to be able to replace everything Utter says back to me with a custom sound effect. Since I suppose that would be rather unfeasible, the first two points I made would be a great start.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] sixgunmojo:
I'll say second to this, even though I have no idea how the underlying TTS functions. I knew that you could manually correct responses so I thought (naively) that there was a folder somewhere that utter! was reading from. Spent a lot of wasted time searching through folders trying to find it, cause wanted to see if I could set up a tasker profile to randomly switch responses after each use. Kind of like how you can have it (tasker) switch wallpapers.

PS I think utter! is a great app with huge potential especially for something in beta :good::good:

PPS "Superuser reboot recovery" is the greatest thing since the previous great thing
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
There is no "setup" really for BT and Utter!

Whatever function you're BT button pulls up now...i.e. Google Now or Voice Dialer, etc...you should go into manage applications on your phone, find the app which your BT defaults to and tap on "clear defaults". Once done, the next time you press your BT button, Utter should show up as one of the apps to choose from. Just select Use Always and you should be good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] stuiegreen:
After a bit of noob help guys,

Ive got a script that i use to ping a couple of boxes on my network to check to make sure if they are still up, this runs via a basic terminal command exec sh /sdcard/scripts/servers. Ive had a play with utter and find it great but I could do with advice on getting a basic custom command to call up the terminal emulator and run that command, is using tasker the only way to do this or can I use the .runscript option in the edit commands then point it in the direction of the script and if so how??

Cheers

Good app very much functional, however it drains the battery very fast. Android sucks for its battery life.

Guys how do I download offline data again? I had to factory reset and lost all of utter's data

Hello!!

If you have "Permanent recognition" active then yes, you will see a noticeable battery drain.

If not using permanent recognition, then your battery use will be almost "0".

This is a problem I have been having. I'm using the LG G2, and the phone does not let me change the app that is launched via bluetooth... even if I disable the default app that launches (Voice Dialer), I still do not have the option to choose a different app.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
So disabling Voice Dialer won't work? That's unusual...there may be a workaround. Check the link I have below-I used this in the early days with Utter.

The activity you need to choose for Utter is "LauncherShortcutActivity"

Lemme know if this works for you!!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
Thanks for the idea GL. I tried installing that app, selecting that activity, and disabling voice dialer. No go... when I long press the call button on the bluetooth headset with voice dialer disabled, nothing happens, i.e. the headset doesn't make the connected beep sound. It is almost like the only way the headset will communicate with the phone is through the voice dialer app... I've tried other bluetooth launcher apps, but none seem to have higher priority than the voice dialer. If voice dialer is enabled, it ALWAYS launches when the call button is pressed on the bluetooth headset... :confused::confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Are you rooted? Can you freeze voice dialer?
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
I was just about to try rooting today. What do you mean by "freeze" voice dialer?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
If you're rooted and have a backup system like "Titanium Backup"..you can "freeze" apps, which basically makes them non-functional to the android system.
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
Thanks for the help :good:. I'm gonna try that out. I'll post again when I have more info...
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
Just rooted the phone and froze voice dialer. Same thing happened as when I disabled the dialer through the android system...
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm stumped...unfortunately I know nothing about the phone. Do you have something called "voice mate"? I saw that doing a quick search.
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
The phone does have "voice mate." If I could even get that to respond to my bluetooth presses, I would be happy. It just seems that "voice dialer," even when disabled, is monopolizing the bluetooth channels (somehow)...

UPDATE

I just tried DELETING the voice dialer app (via root browser, backed up first), and still the same problem. Phone does not connect to bluetooth headset when call button is pressed on bluetooth... This is rather infuriating... :mad::mad:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Is it possible that voice mate itself controls this function? I also wonder if maybe your headset is "hard wired" specifically to voice dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
Interesting idea... However, I believe your second point is the best answer... If I can find another headset, I will try it out and see if that one also ONLY launches voice dialer. Could this possibly be a bug inherent with android 4.2.2?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I found this on XDA...1 post, no answer...and basically looks as though they have the same problem...with no resolution.

[Q] Launch Google Voice Search with Bluetooth

Hello,

I want to launch Google Now in my LG G2 (TMO) when I press the Bluetooth button. But it only brings Voice Dialer. Tried disabling it and select Google Voice Search Activity in Bluetooth Launch app. But no help.

When Voice Dialer is disabled, Bluetooth Launch does not open anything.

Anyone have a work around?

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
Do you have a link to that question? I'd like to know what bluetooth headset he/she is using. I'm really surprised no one else has ran into this problem (except this one person...)

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Gotta tell...wildest ride ever...I cannot find a single answer to your problem anywhere!! Ha, I see other posts about people asking the same thing, but no really good response except they can't disable it...rolling on the floor now as this is crazy.

Supposedly integrated with Google Search...for whatever reason for future upgrade of android? Still makes no sense, but I did see where someone disabled Google Search so they could connect their BT to another application. What the????

Guess you could try that...I dunno man...I'm completely baffled.
[Android Apps and Games] jugg1es:
Would it not be possible to create a tasker task to detect say a double click of the BT button in order to use it successfully. Or even override the default.?

[Android Apps and Games] timetravelingtrevor:
I tried using the tasker app, but I didn't see any triggers that involved a bluetooth button press. Also, the entire problem is that I can't set a default app anywhere on the phone (for dealing with bluetooth interaction)... Thanks for the input, though.
[Android Apps and Games] jugg1es:
I'm just getting my head around tasker myself, but surely if it could be done then it wouldn't matter about default app because tasker would bypass that anyway. Have you enquired in the tasker thread, or asked in the g+ group?

Hey man you are a phenomenal dev and I certainly bow to your skills. I was wondering. Silk we be able to look forward to complex calculations (percentage of x divided by y etc) more importantly I live in a larger city and do find myself out late at night it would be awesome if there was one other wake up command that did an instant call to 911 or some emergency response. I have had friends get jumped and it just seems like if people could yell utter help me and 911 was placed on a speaker phone call it could help.. I am willing to donate for that! Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] kurtph1969:
In my experience, voice dialing has never worked properly on Android. I've read that a lot of people had problems getting it to work with other apps. It seems ok with standards voice dialer, but I think you're stuck with it.

I think it's to do with Android security. Is seems Bluetooth doesn't listen when the phone is locked. This might be one workaround:

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get the Bluetooth mic working with a gen 2 nexus 7? This app is amazing, but I can't get this last part working for my car install. Google voice search works fine with the mic but Utter won't play ball.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rishman1:
Hi there,

Awesome app. Just wanted to provide feedback... it was working great for me until I got the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear smartwatch. Now, when Utter speaks, the sound starts out of the phone speaker but then transfers mid-sentence to the Galaxy Gear speaker. I think the mic input also transfers to the Gear mic. Has anyone found a solution for this, by chance? Thanks!

Thanks.

What happens if you re-install - (deleting all associated data)? I can't think of an alternative!
[Android Apps and Games] qkzoo:
I ended up just clearing associated data as recommended by the Dev. :/ I lost everything, but I learned a a couple of important lessons. 1, back up your data, 2, don't forget your passwords!

On the subject, is the cloud backup/restore option functional? I was a little confused by the response from utter when I clicked on it.

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
We've had mixed results on the backup/restore function. For some it works/worked like a charm, and for others nothing.

You should try a backup media like Titanium Backup or something similar and backup your data beforehand just to be safe.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] nila@ufl.edu:
I love the potential from this app, but yeah there are a few a things that don't seem to work for me whether it's a setting I'm missing or a particular of my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

1) When I connect to my car via bluetooth, the car is playing a cd. If I wake up Utter, the music does not stop, but even if I pause the track myself while listening Utter speaks so faintly through the phone speaker that I can't make out what she is saying. Most of the time my commands are not recognized, and she starts processing my speech before I am finished with a sentence.

2) When calls come in Utter announces the caller and asks if I want to answer or reject, but by the time she's done announcing all that the call has been missed. If I answer the call manually I'll get a "fetching" notification from Utter that just sits there. Is there a way to disable this feature so I just answer the calls myself or with Samsung's voice feature?

3) The most important feature missing for me is to be able to automatically turn on/off the always listening feature of Utter when bluetooth or headset is connected, or based on time, etc. so that it's not constantly draining my battery or having to be manually activated/deactivated. A Tasker/AutomateIt plugin would make this program exponentially helpful and badass.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Good afternoon!!!

1) Bluetooth is still a work in progress, so as of right now...this has been mentioned before so I'm sure its on the developers list.

2) Open the app, go into setting, then swipe to the advanced tab, tap on accessibility then tap on the "announce called ID" to disable this feature.

3) Using Tasker and Intents you can do just that!! Here's the link to the thread on XDA (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34339449&postcount=2155)

Make it a great day!

Anyone have this baby working on older, armv6 hardware? Seems to run afoul of Google's offline voice-recognition, a no-no on this hardware. No problem with other voice apps which can use online recognition mechanism.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
What phone do you have? I don't know much about hardware but utter is not really tied to Google, so It's possible to use other Voice Recognition engines if you have them installed on your phone. For example, my Galaxy s3 has "Samsung (Powered by Vlingo)" as an option in Language and Input settings and utter will use it if i set it as default.

This works with data connection though, as it has to access the internet to recognize my speech, so the only way to have it offline as of now is with Google and the right language files.

Ps: [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION], should be time to ask ben to add links to those helpful posts about utter usage in the first post.. i know they're in his signature but it really seems people keep missing them, specially when you search the forum with apps like tapatalk which don't show signatures.

I am using an LG P500. I have the "on-line" voice recognition working just fine. Jeanie works, Sherpa works, etc. Can get voice into Google Search (older modded version) as well.

And Utter accepted my voice but Google Search crashed before much else could occur (Posted this previously). All the display functionality implemented in this Google Search version work without any hiccups. It's only the off-line voice stuff (like clicking the mic icon) that crashes it.

Additionally, Utter requests updated versions of the old VoiceSearch (mine is up-to-date, there is no update!) and Google Search. Since real Google Search will not install on my phone, no newer version. One must be downloaded off Play (they do not like that!), modded (or better, an Xposed module to intercept calls to armv7 jni functions), and side-loaded. I think that whole business should be replaced with an initial one-time warning that ** apps are outdated so some newer functions might now work and leave me to fix them if possible.

This is fine. Since the object of this voice stuff centers around Google Now, to what advantage is off-line recognition anyway?

What I like about Utter is its configurability. Want the Wolfram? Go for it. While most functions within the phone would be OK (and faster?) off-line, I am willing to suffer with on-line if that is what will work.

Has anyone with a Galaxy Gear smartwatch been able to figure out a way to activate utter! using the Gear, without touching the phone? Once utter! gets activated on my Note 3, then the speaker and mic get transferred to my Gear, which is great and what one would want. If I could now activate it using the Gear itself, that would be super sweet as I wouldn't even have to touch the phone to send emails.

I tried sideloading the utter! quicklaunch icon onto the Gear but when I press it on the Gear, utter! says, "How can I help? I'm off the network connection."

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] sixgunmojo:
Disclaimer, I don't have a Galaxy Gear and my knowledge of utter! is just enough to be dangerous. Did a brief google search on the Gear but it didn't give the specific answers I wanted. If I understand you correctly you would like to be in a situation, for example, where you are walking down the street and you want to send or respond to an e-mail without pulling your phone out of your pocket.

Short answer: You may be asking too much of the current state of both the Gear and Utter!

Slightly longer answer: You may be victim to something as simple as some of the wonky bluetooth problems that other users are having, however the fact that uttter! on the Gear is giving you a "not connected message", I think your problems might be deeper than that. Looking at the apps (specifically the messaging ones) on the Gear the question i have, is does the gear use the note's data connection (like tethering a laptop to a phone) or are the apps syncing with a copy on the phone. If its the latter than you may be out of luck, but if its the former you may want to sideload the utter! app itself and see if you can get it to use 1) the data connection and 2) the apps on the phone (I don't think so, but what do I know) Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer :(
