The plugin is already in tasker if you have utter and tasker installed.

You'll find it when creating a task, under the action category Plugin / Utter

You sir, deserve a prize; I never thought it could be so easy to access the info through launcher's database. I don't use SQLite Debugger, but it was easy to dump Apex's tables to a txt file via terminal, and now I should be able to use utter to open whatsapp conversations and send what I dictate without taking my phone out of my pocket*. I'll have to see if it's possible to make a shortcut for a Google Play Music search, as Widgets aren't stored the same way.

* I can already do this just by "inserting" the new message directly into whatsapp's database, but that's not the cleanest way to do it.

Utter keeps announcing notifications even after I turn Utter off

I want to preface this by saying I love Utter so far! A few of my favorite features...the extensive list of built-in commands, the ability to add custom commands, phrase replacements, ability to call tasker tasks, ability to announce caller ID, ability to announce notifications and filter those announcements. I've been using it for a while and just recently discovered some of these great features. Utter rocks!

Enough gushing and on to my question...

I'm using Utter in my car for voice input, to announce caller ID, and to announce notifications. I don't want Utter to keep announcing caller ID and notifications after I leave my car (at home, work, etc). So I'm using Llama to launch Utter when my phone connects to my car's bluetooth system and to disable Utter when my phone disconnects from the car's bluetooth system. I'm disabling Utter using the command:4 intent which is described as "Turn Utter off completely". These intents are described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34339449&postcount=2155

When I send the command:4 intent, I see that the Utter icon disappears from the notification bar. However, I've noticed that Utter keeps announcing notifications. I'm not sure it always happens right away, but if not immediately it will eventually start announcing notifications again even though I never restart Utter. I suspect this is related to Utter being registered with the system as an Accessibility Service, which is required to use Utter's announce notifications feature.

I've tried using Tasker instead of Llama, but it doesn't change anything. I've reproduced the same issue on both a rooted Samsung S3 running 4.1.2 and a stock unrooted Nexus 7 running 4.3

Is this intentional or a bug?

Does anyone know of a workaround to get the behavior I'm looking for? I've tried killing Utter to keep it from announcing notifications, but even that didn't seem to solve the problem.

If it's a bug, is there any chance of getting a fix so that command:4 will stop the announcing of notifications until I launch Utter again? I really want to use the announce notifications feature but I need a reliable way to turn if off.

Thanks for any help!
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
The easy way would be to use Secure Settings with Tasker (maybe it works with llama too) and enable its helper.

Then you can use it in your task to disable Utter in Accessibility settings, and to re-enable it when in your car.

This needs root though.

I'm back on this, I've managed to figure out the intent to search with Google Play Music, and can use it with a variable stored from an utter's command.. Only thing left is to make it play all songs from the artist found, since I suppose that's the final purpose for this, right? If you're still interested I'll explain how to do this, but it requires tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] sevenup30:
Great man, i'm surely interested explain me ur magic :)))
[Android Apps and Games] whatsupdroid:
I am already using Secure Settings to disable/enable Utter in Accessibility settings, but it doesn't always seem to work reliably. However, I just realized it might be related to something else I am doing. I'll try making some small changes and see it it works better.

I am still interested to know if the author of Utter intended it to work this way or if the command:4 intent should also cause Utter to stop announcing notifications. I don't know if this should be on a bug list or not. I realize brandall is busy and might not even see this.

I am interested in the details of the intent to search with Google Play Music. I would like to get it to play a specific song (without having to say the artist name), play all songs by an artist, or play a specific playlist.

[MENTION=4690266]faku1810[/MENTION] thanks for sharing but it doesn't work for me.

I'm rooted so i imported ur task and utter always return me tasker did not understand.

I have the text box of what utter heard and i said it correctly .

I even create var %Commands4 .

Have i miss something else ?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Did you import Utter receiver first? Was the profile activated? If you imported my task, remember that you have to modify it to adjust it to your own command, and to your screen coordinates for the Tap actions.

Also, if you didn't add the action to wake up the device with Secure Settings it won't work if the screen is off

Edit: please check if there is any Set variable for %par2 at the beginning, if there is disable it, as it was for testing only and will override your voice commands

[Android Apps and Games] frikka:
Hi, I was wondering if Utter could (while in Driving Mode) after reading a text message, proceed with a question "Would you like to reply?".

I reckon this would further enhance 'Driving Mode' so that no touch is required at all while driving!

Frikka
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
That's a nice suggestion and perhaps Ben would think of adding to the long list of things to add to utter.

However, i don't think it's significantly different from turning on permanent recognition while driving and using the command "Text Contact", unless you use your phone to listen to music and have issues with permanent recognition (If it's only while driving, battery shouldn't be drained too much)

Guys, I don't want to make pressure or anything, but somehow near April or May it was said, that soon translating will start. Could you tell me if development is still going into this direction?
[Android Apps and Games] wvallen:
I've noticed this on my S3, as well. At least on my case, it happens when I use the "ok, Google" feature. This doesn't always end recognition, but when it does cease, it's always after a weeVoice Search.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I'm sure translation is not as far as it was on April and May. However, atm Ben has his hands full working on a new app so that it can reach public beta stage soon (most details are secret so try not to ask)

Also, you should keep in mind that translation can't start unless the app code is modified so that it won't break because of different languages strings, and also to make it easier to translate some core functions. This is not an easy task and probably still requires time.

So for now all i can do is ask you to trust brandall and be patient, he really wants utter to be helpful to as many people as possible (don't all devs want that? :p ) so I'm sure translation will eventually be done

Thanks for the response [MENTION=4690266]faku1810[/MENTION]

Another enquiry: I notice during Driving Mode, Utter also reads out system notifications ("wifi network available", etc). Is there anyway we can disable this?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I think Utter read whatever appears on the notification bar (i might be wrong) so in that particular case, disabling the option Notify me about available networks under Wifi Settings in the phone should work.

If there is another similar case you should check if it appears on the notification bar, as i don't think there's a proper control in utter that allowed filtering what to read and what not.

[Android Apps and Games] wvallen:
One can exclude notifications from selective apps, including from Android System. You'll find it under Settings|Advanced|Accessibility|Exclude Notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] k_diatom:
great :)
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Thannks a lot for this, i don't use that feature at all so i didn't realize there was a way to exclude notifications.

Thanks, but that just links (indirectly) to the Tasker plugin tutorial, which I had already read, and which doesn't answer my question. I now know that the plugin is automatically installed, but the tutorial doesn't make that clear (unless I'm missing something).

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Thank you! I suppose I should have looked in Tasker, but I was misled by something in a post of Ben's on 23 August 2013:

... which sounds as though you have to download the plugin separately. I thought that the very low number of downloads was probably because it's difficult to find :)

Can we ask utter to speak the word that we spell ? Because I'm not native speaker so I want to increase my skill
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I think that post referred to the Receiver project

That he had just attached to the tasker post. I might be wrong though, but that makes sense to me

I'm not sure what you mean.. You want to use for example, "spell inception" and hear utter say "inception, I - N - C - E - P - T - I - O - N" so you know how it's pronounced?

I don't think that's possible. However you can enable visual results and use, for example "define inception", that way you'll see how it's written, and you'll hear utter pronounce it and explain what it means.

You can also use something like "tweet", then ask to tweet "inception", and utter will repeat what she heard. Then you say you want to proofread it and you'll be able to read the words. Then just exit without posting your tweet

[Android Apps and Games] pcgardner:
Well, Ben did call it "the new Tasker Plugin", but I expect you're right and that he meant to say "the new Tasker Plugin project". Unfortunately it sent me off on a wild goose chase :)

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

I think haseogu wants a 'speak' command, so that one could say "speak I - N - C - E - P - T - I - O - N" and utter would reply something like "I - N - C - E - P - T - I - O - N is pronounced inception".

Not a bad idea IMO, except that the pronunciation will vary according to the installed and active voice. For example, I use Gwyneth, an Ivona voice with what I think is a pleasing Welsh accent, but that may not be suitable for someone wanting to learn standard English pronunciation!

I like your ingenious 'tweet' workaround, though it will only work if the speaker's pronunciation of the word in question is near enough for utter to recognise it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mugga:
A played a bit further with utter! and once you get used to it and you deal with the replace words its working pretty good.

I got a little question related bluetooth mic input. I use utter! with my nexus 7 in a fixed car install. The sound is coming over an usb-dac. Over bluetooth I connect my nexus with a handsfree unit, together with the app "btmono" I can use the handsfree mic for speech input without the music going through the bluetooth.

At first it worked without a problem with utter! but now utter! is sending the sound over bluetooth, this way I can't hear anything. Is there any chance to tell utter! not to use the bluetooth device for sound-input?
[Android Apps and Games] wvallen:
Anytime, I only wish there were a quick way to select/deselect all, rather than the one by one mode currently required.
[Android Apps and Games] paras33:
it crashes on my at&t one xl
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Wouldn't that be the same as turning the read out on and off?

Edit: i see now what you meant, if you have ten and want to select seven it's faster to select all at once and then deselect three, rather than go one at a time

That bit of information doesn't help at all, try to give some more info about your device, android version, roms, etc.

Hide utter! Icon

This is probably mentioned somewhere in the 500+ pages of this post but I couldn't find it.

Is it possible to hide the utter! icon from the notification bar and keep utter! running? I like to keep a clean notification bar and the icon doesn't help me in any way.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] jugg1es:
You can use xposed and one of the mods to remove notification icons from the left of the status bar

[Android Apps and Games] mrobillard:
Looks like you need root access for Xposed. I did not root my nexus 5. Is there no other way? Would it be possible to add this as an option in future versions? I don't see why the icon has to be in the notification bar.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jugg1es:
Having the icon in the status bar ensures that utter! Stays in the active memory.

I did a search on the thread for "reboot" and "recovery" but didn't find anything.

Galaxy S4 i337 running 4.3 Google Play Edition ROM.

When I tell Utter to "reboot" or "reboot recovery", "she says:

"Sorry, but i'm not sure what you meant by that".

But these are commands that are listed in the Utter app? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm a new Utter user btw. And I did make sure she's communicating with tasker and has root priviledges.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hi, are you rooted? Any of the commands on the list with the letter (R) beside it means the device needs to be rooted to work.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Yep! :)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Just to make sure...on your phone, check under security and make sure that Utter and Tasker is checked under device administrators. Otherwise it might be having a problem with your ROM somehow?

Are you also using secure settings in conjunction with Tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Okay, Tasker and Secure Settings were in the Device Administrators tab. But neither was enabled, so I enabled both of them.

Secure Settings does have the "helper" installed and working. I love Tasker & Secure Settings!

But Utter was not in the Device Admins tab. :(

So I opened SuperSU and told it to forget Utter.

Then I opened Utter and used the link to update Busybox.

Then I clicked the Superuser Permission and granted it Superuser.

But it's still not coming up in the Device Administrators tab.

And telling it to "Reboot Recovery" gives the response "Sorry, you lost me on the command".
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hmmm, how about any other root commands? Maybe it has something to do with the device specifically for the reboot commands.

Can you get it to just reboot? Probably not.

Try some other root commands and see if you get the same error?

Not sure what would be causing this.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Well, the Screenshot command has an [R] next to it and that command works.

But the subsection below that says it's for root commands and none of those work at all.
[Android Apps and Games] docinthebox:
Re: Reboot command

Try saying "superuser reboot". It should work.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Hahah, she said "I feel sleepy" and then rebooted. Thank you :) :good:

I didn't realize you had to preface these vocal commands with "superuser".

Is there a way to get rid of that requirement?

Maybe just create my own commands for these items?
[Android Apps and Games] docinthebox:
You're welcome :)

If you are inclined to say "run task reboot", you can create a Tasker task to reboot (using Secure Settings which, sorry Pent, is more reliable than inbuilt Tasker actions. You can create seperate ones for just about any reboot type you like. Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Thanks.

I'd "give" you a thanks also, but I already hit my maximum of 8 for the day. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Okay, here is another dumb question.

I searched the thread for "backup" as well as "cloud" and there were zero hits. But XDA has been having search problems lately.

Is there a built in function to back up all my Utter settings & custom commands?

I did link my dropbox.

And I clicked the "upload to cloud". But that just said it submitted my request to Google and I will hear back later?!?
[Android Apps and Games] ejasmudar:

Stream music crashes wake-up-phrase

I have wake-up-phrase enabled in settings. I have the orange wake-up-active notification in the bar. This works fine most of the time. Except when I issue the "Stream music" command. When I say "wake up" followed by "stream music", the music starts playing from my Google Play Music app but it kills the orange icon and the wake-up-active notification. And the wake up phrase does not work anymore.

Also, is there a way to enable "wake up phrase" active automatically on starting the utter! app? When the app starts up after the phone boots, I have to manually enable the wake-up-phrase setting.

I am running Android 4.4 on Nexus 4.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
This is expected behaviour since there's some kind of conflict between the music apps and the way utter mutes Google's "beep" (that's played because of the permanent recognition enabled) therefore, utter has to turn off the permanent recognition... not sure if it should automatically come back when you stop the music.

If i remember correctly, there's no way to enable permanent recognition on boot, but i can't give you a proper explanation about that, something related to the android system, more likely.

Calendar event command cannot process minutes

I have this issue with the calendar command. I could not find anything searching this thread.

When I say the following:

"new appointment on Friday at 8:30 am called breakfast"

Utter gives me an appointment at 6am on Saturday. Same thing for "8:15" and so on. Google Now handles this just fine.

The same thing occurs if I type the above exactly into the Test a Command box.

But if I type the following (without the colon) into the test box:

"new appointment on Friday at 8 30 am called breakfast"

I get the correct day and time.

Is there something I can do?

Thanks,

This reminds me, I was unable to get Utter to work in my car with Bluetooth. I forgot all about it though and haven't done any t/s yet.

Anyone?!?!
[Android Apps and Games] dabotsonline:
I wish that the response to the Wake Up command could be, "Yes?" rather than the convoluted "I'm awake. How can I help?" as it would allow faster interaction.

Also, if the last answer was the error of "Sorry, there was ambient noise." then asking "Pardon?" repeats that, rather than the correct answer that preceded that. Is there any chance that Utter could save the history of its answers in a text log, so that when Utter is asked "Pardon?" it repeats the most recent answer before a "Sorry, ambient noise" answer.

As a few people have mentioned, will there be integration of the conversational aspects of the latest release of Google Search?

I see that "Answer <+ Speaker Phone>" is allowed, but what about "Call <+ 'contact name'> <+ at home/work/mobile> <+ Speaker Phone>", "Skype <+ Speaker Phone>" and, indeed, "Rebtel <+ Speaker Phone>"?

Also, is there any way to enable Wake Up when charging is on (ideally Qi wireless charging) but deactivate it when charging is off? If I'm not mistaken, this would be a physical equivalent to saying "Enable / Disable Driving Mode".

Can we change the default "Navigate to contact <+ 'contact name'>" navigation app from Google Maps to an alternative? Perhaps, "Navigate to 'X' using Waze/Navigate 6/TomTom"?

Out of curiosity, how does the "I've parked my car" / "Find my car" / "Where's my car?" functionality work?

Finally, is there any chance that TuneIn could be supported alongside Stream (i.e. Google Play Music All Access) and Spotify?

I'll explain in a follow-up post, but I'm envisaging some use cases with a Nexus 4 and a standalone Qi charger with integrated power bank / battery pack, and then a Qi car charger with a self-applied NFC tag using Egomotion's apps Trigger, Drive Agent and Agent in combination with Phone Auto Answer Pro and Auto SMS (Autoresponder), and Open Mic+ Donate instead of utter! Quick Launch.

For what it’s worth, I’m testing with IVONA (Amy UK) on an ASUS FonePad phablet running the official ASUS build of Android 4.1 and a Nexus S running an AOSP build of Android 4.4 KitKat, and don’t seem to be suffering any compatibility issues.

I already got it kind of working with my bluetooth mic. But suddenly it doesn't work anymore. I had kind of sucess with the app "BTMono", but it is more like a hack, and not really a good solution.

So I hope that one day you are able to simple use and bluetooth mic or usb mic. Then utter! would be perfect for car use.
