Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

There's also this app you can use for now until brandall releases the new update.

Check out "Voice Notify"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pilot51.voicenotify

It works pretty good but isn't customisable. So think of it as a temporary solution.

Do the Two work together some how?

On a side note, i cant believe how well it responds to my "Southern Twang", I found Dragon to be the best for my voice but Utter; Im impressed. Once it will read my texts (not just last one) and has a reply option (Drive mode) this puppy will be giving all the others out there a run for it, for sure. Great job with it.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
NOT that I know of. We have several people that all want to see Utter succeed simply because we've tried all the others and not one comes close to what Utter can and will offer to the average and "super user" so to speak.

I like the interaction and having the knowledge.."sometimes" to help them get started. So that being said, welcome aboard and thanks for your comments.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

No they do not work together. Voice notify just reads out your notifications and text messages. That's all it does. It won't reply for you or ask for options. It's a very simple app. It does what it says, but yea it's not a good app for power users.

For now I guess use voice notify to hear your texts. Then use shake to wake utter and reply.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!

Utter works now.... Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Let me jump into this and report whats up... Ohhh change my ROM that was the only thing left to do... Now using Omega and Presto!!!!

Great app!

I am having a little fun at setting it up right now :fingers-crossed:

I've got a problem though... I am trying to set up a nickname for some of my contacts, so I got to do that, and it wants me to select my contact so it goes to my contacts. I select the contact and then it just goes back to the top of my contacts. I have no other choice but to select a contact again, or go back which takes me right out of the nickname choosing.

Am I missing something here? Or do I have a problem with the rom I am running?
[Android Apps and Games] meminiau:
Got another issue when I try to create a command... I choose Call contact, it tells me to choose the contact which I then do, and then it wants me to tell it the number while only bringing up the contacts again....
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Don't create a command to call a contact. This Is built in. Just say CALL "your contact name" and it should work fine.

ADDITION-I have never used that feature until just now. You are correct and it gives me a number to select. My guess Is that this feature is for a contact with multiple numbers and you would like a specific number called when you issue that command. Otherwise just say call John Doe on mobile or call John Doe at home for example.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

When you select the contact name you should get a small box in which to enter the nickname with 2 options.... Create & Cancel.

Not seeing this???

Count me in, I surely one that wants to see Utter succeed, i am truly enjoying it. Ive had almost every free voice assistant on my phone, each with to me a deal breaker, skyvi- always should new text notification, Speaktoit, never showed sent messages, and the list goes on... Utter definitely has me hooked,
[Android Apps and Games] krzych:
Hello! I'm still alive, just got here to say it :) I have no time for anything, even for buyong a PC (currently I have none), so I'm not much of a tester, that's why I disappeared for a long time.

But... As I just finished some of my bloody tasks, it's time for buying a PC, so I will be really quickly back with power ;).

About utter, I can say only that last versions are more heavy than before - can it be slightly lighter? The core functionality does not look like very heavy, so I suppose that it could?
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
I wish I could use this. But it just does not understand me. For example, I can say "Call Jane Doe" (not real name), and it never gets it right. But I can use Dragon, and it gets it right every time.

I would assume both are using Google Voice, so it doesn't make sense to me that one is 100% and the other is 0%...in that one example. I find a lot of fails on other names too.

Any time there is a new version, I try again, but just not working for me.

It does work fair on other commands, but voice dial is the most important feature I need.

I'm on Stock/Rooted ROM. Galaxy S III.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Stupid question, but have you enabled visual results to see what the Google servers is returning from your requests.

It could be something simple as it not understanding the way you say call. (I have a hang of a time with set and six)

If that is the case then you can create a command ring (or something) instead of using call.

This one is a bit obvious so excuse me for asking.

But have you rebooted your phone since installing the utter (or the last update, what ever was the latest).

My phone has a hang of a lot of problems getting contacts after an update until it has been rebooted a couple of times.. (I do it as a matter of course now)

Finally if you have been trying utter through a few updates, you might want to try uninstalling Utter, then find the utter folder on your phone and delete it. Then reinstall, restart and try it again.

I had a similar problem for a while with utter and couldn't understand why it wasn't working right while others with the same phone and operating system weren't.

Then I found that once I had uninstalled, deleted the folder off the phone and reinstalled, it worked well. I haven't had the same problems since.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Great advice. Rebooting, like brandall has said can help get the app working properly. And you're right, the commands have to be exact. Utter doesn't process context like Google voice seems to do. So you have to make extra sure you are exact.

On a side note, I highly recommend Ivona text to voice. It has amazed me how natural is sounds. It almost sounds like there is a lady talking to me on speaker phone sometimes. :D I use the Australian voice. Something about the English accent that makes it sound more professional and futuristic haha
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I agree, good advice.... But on the lighter side, and maybe a little humorous I prefer that we all get the syntax right as Ben had said. The "medicinal reboot"!

There seems to be some truth in that phrase.

A GREAT DAY TO ALL!
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
While Ivona does sound great, I would only recommend it to those that have had Utter for a while and have had no problems.

While the Google voice doesn't sound as natural, Ivona can, and has, caused a few headaches in the past. (just have a look back through this forum.)

Plus it can be a pain to setup on some devices, or suddenly stop working after an update :crying:

Utter is also a lot quicker at responding with Google voice..

Don't get me wrong, I love Ivona's voice and it is certainly better at reading texts and books than Google's default voice.

Just to any newbies out there trying Utter for the first time, stick with Google voice until you have tried utter out and know it works for you.

Then play with the nicer voices of Ivona.or Svox etc and make it sound great!. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Yea I think ivona works good with high end devices. I haven't had any problems on the nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Ditto with my Vivid. But I didn't care for the sound of the English (US) voice. It was like she had spent too much time drinking gin and smoking cigarettes. ;)

SOVX sounds great though on my phone. But I actually prefer Google on my N10.

is there a way to make utter listen without going through the notification bar on jelly bean? It really defeats the purpose of this app because I can do the task in the time it takes to go to the notification bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Perhaps the shake-to-wake feature is what you're looking for? It's at the top of the settings screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
I installed the quick launcher shortcut for utter and use Home2 shortcut on my tablet..Works great as all I have to do now is double click my home icon and utter asks what I want to do. Good because it works within other apps.

Your other simple choice is just to open the utter control panel and click launcher shortcut. That will place a shortcut on your desktop that will start Utter when pressed.

Else as mentioned, there is the shake to wake. Note you can change the sensitivity of the shake to wake if you find it going off to easily. (have a look in the advanced menu)

On my samsung s2 if I double click the home key then it will start utter as well but that is still on ICS so I don't know if it will still work under jelly bean.

Please repost if you're stuck!

Hi folks, had to step away from utter! for a few days, I needed a break... Back to it now though! Thanks again for those helping out in my absence, really appreciated as always.

If you've asked a question that has been missed, please don't hesitate to repost and I'll answer it.

Got my head down rebuilding the app and getting everything ready for translation, improving all current commands, building in the new ones and looking at the memory usage of each along the way! It's a mammoth task and involves an unbelievable amount of copying and pasting, which is just so damn boring!!!

It'll be worth it... Still toying over whether to release the rebuild on here, only partly working - or whether to just keep my head down and get it all finished. :ponderingface:

Anyway, best crack on!

EDIT: Whilst looking at the contact commands, I noticed quite a major error on my part with the matching. If you're having problems with nicknames etc, then this is no doubt the cause.... Sorry! Fixed for the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Utter-rebuild

Ben,

Glad you're back!!! Back to a task with a fresh start is always a good thing.

On the Release-I would love to have something to toy with, but in reality my personal opinion is that you continue on with the rebuilding and leave the "test build" out of the equation for now.

There are bound to be errors once you complete the rebuilding and I think it's best that we address the issues then. Putting a test build out would only prolong the rebuilding process.

Just my thoughts, but anyone that wants to chime in, well let's do it!

Thanks again Ben, for all of your hard work! I have a cheerleading squad all lined up for the next release day!!!

P.S. Have fun! :cool:

[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Have to agree with GLDavis.

As much as I want play with the new improved Utter now, I too think that it is best to wait until you have finished recoding.

Otherwise you will wind up chasing your tail on minor things that may have been fixed as you finished rewriting.

Besides, The good things are worth waiting for.. :highfive:

[Android Apps and Games] meminiau:
I'm beginning to have some fun with this app! I've even got it telling the Siri joke LOL

I did some googling about this app and there was a website that reviewed the app and they stated that you could share commands that others had created; is this something that is actually happening?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Not yet.
[Android Apps and Games] chips20:
Anyone know if there's a way to activate shake-to-wake using Tasker? I'd like to have it active when I'm in my car (i.e. connected to car bluetooth) and turn it off when I leave.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You can if you have the command string or activity to launch Utter which is : .LauncherShortcutActivity

P.S. I also setup a Proximity Sensor Profile that will allow you to wave your hand in front of the sensor that will trigger Utter using SECURE SETTINGS as well (You need to be connected to a power source)

Profile: Under NET in Tasker choose:

Proximity Sensor

Then Power Any

Then Call Any (check the Invert Box)

Task is Configuration: .LauncherShortcutActivity

Now when connected to power in your car OR also at home, waving your hand in front of the Proximity Sensor will trigger Utter!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Glad you're having fun! :)

The only way for everyone to share commands at the moment is to use Export in Customisation. That will place an XML file in the directory /utter/user_commands/backup.xml

Until I get my website up and running, you are more than welcome to paste or attach your files here for others to use, or adapt on!

In the not-too-distant-future, you'll be able to upload these to the 'Community' and browse and import others... Coming soon!

There isn't right now, but I'll put it on the list to do!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
The alternative to my answer of 'not yet' is yes! :good: Thanks :)

I was thinking a little too literally... so GLDavis is absolutely correct, you can handle the shake/wave action in Tasker, rather than toggle the on/off implementation in utter! - if you see what I mean...

I think GLDavis gave you the wave example, but shake will be very similar!
[Android Apps and Games] chips20:
Tricky! So I get the concept, but where do I actually put in the .Launchershortcutactivity command? If in the task I go to Plugin --> Utter --> Edit configuration, I tried putting it in the top but Utter just spoke the words vs. executing the command.

Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Use Plugin / Secure Settings and I think you want Launch Activity. Then select Utter as the application and then you have another box for the activity string that you can choose the correct command.

I did the Google Now hack for my ICS phone specifically so that I could have utter! offline. I could have sworn it worked. I just tried it now and it doesn't. When I go into Google Voice settings, there's no option to download a language.

Had anyone gotten offline successfully with ICS?

I can't get offline with ICS or CM10 which is based on jellybean. Maybe offline installs to the main partition and it isn't large enough unless you have a phone rated to run official jellybean.

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Offline w/ICS & CM10

Hey everyone,

The ICS hack I've been told was pretty iffy...so you might have to work with it some to get it working. Maybe you could try a reinstall?

On the CM...I am using an EVO 4G, which is a dinosaur by today's standards, rooted with JB 4.2.1 (CM) and works great for me. For some reason in my Google settings I have NO option to download offline google voice...but it's there because it works. The voice is a little grainier when offline.

NicholasQ might be correct in trying a different voice engine like SVOX. Your pico voices are also from SVOX, but the ones you can download are much better quality.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

It's a bit confusing, but this is what I think is happening (maybe Ben can confirm):

I had been using SVOX as I prefer her voice. I uninstalled and rebooted.

Now when I originally did the hack, it installed Google Voice (blue icon) next to Google Search (silver icon) instead of replacing it. So there are two listings of Voice Recognizers in the Language & Keyboard settings (as well as two Google Voice Typing). I can switch between the two recognizers but I can only make changes to the Google Now one. The text-to-speech settings are the same for both. But if I do choose Google Search, utter! will use that voice and likewise with Google Now (I can tell the difference).

I thought, hey, I'll disable Google Search, problem solved. Uh-uh. As soon as I did that utter! stopped listening and Language & Keyboard crashed when I tried to open it.

So... it appears that, even though I can set up utter! to use Google Now's voice, utter! is still defaulting to Google Search in ICS and that's why offline mode fails.

Or maybe not... :D

HTC Vivid (ICS rooted)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm pretty sure that the Google Search is what triggers the Google Voice, they work together so to speak. Have you reenabled Google Search, rebooted and tried that way? I would try that of course, and if it still doesn't work, leave everything enabled and try reinstalling the Hack!

P.S. I'm a huge advocate of backups whenever I make changes. Nandroid backup only takes about 5 minutes and it's a real life saver whenever I make a mistake. :crying: If that doesn't work hopefully Ben might have some insight.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Yes, I re-enabled Google Search and everything was back without even having to reboot. Of course offline wasn't there, but that's okay. I have it on my N10 and that's good enough to play with (I don't need a hands free phone). I do have a Nandroid backup and I suppose I could reflash the hack at some point. For now I just reinstalled SVOX and I'm back to square one, no worse for wear. :)
