Just took my second to last final today... Just have to take SAT Literature on Saturday and History final, then I'm free! Expect some great updates, I have a bunch of great ideas written down :) See below for some of the ideas I have lined up...

1. UI redesign + setup wizard (way too complicated right now!)

2. Improved support interface so I can provide faster updates that more users want. This will include targeted surveys (ex. you will only receive optional surveys if you match the settings profile x and y, but not z enabled) and two way conversations in-app (yay no email clutter!)

3. Auto start Open Mic+ while driving

4. Lots of crash and bug fixes!

5. Download other languages for PocketSphinx (still not confirmed as possible, but I think I could provide language packs)

6. Optimizations for Moto G and Nexus 5 (these are my two largest devices and I just got a Moto G for testing purposes)

7. A secondary service that will run and restart the listening service in case Android kills it... (this would be an option of course)

8. The ability to launch Tasker commands w/ pocketsphinx - this can't work exactly like how it does with the Google engine, but I have found a cool workaround... Can't wait to share :D

9. Some top secret work ;) - but actually this is awesome, I'll share as soon as I can

Also need to answer the 1000 emails in my inbox! Will definitely get to this as soon as I can. The new support system will help in this process, so I'll be asking users with incomplete tickets to move to the new system...

As soon as I get new support system up and running, I'll answer all the other requests in this thread... It is just a whole lot easier to manage individual requests and have their logs auto attached than to have to remember each user's problems and answer in a forum based system... Thanks for your understanding, it should be up very soon!

Edit: nvm, love the tasker plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] DroneDoom:
One thing I notice with this app, it has a similar bug like omnirom's launcher (launcher3). They both mute media volume. Since I couldn't force close the app I had to uninstall it to listen to music.
[Android Apps and Games] DoctorBRR:
I have a Motorola Moto G and I look forward to improvements to the Open Mic+ for my device.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mysticodex:
I've been forced to uninstall OpenMic for now on my phone. Just can't get it working right with current release of Nova Launcher, on 4.4.3 KitKat.

It still triggers and then mutes itself right away, as well as sometimes starts listening on it's own even when not charging (which I have it set to), causing crazy battery drain (as per normal in this situation).
[Android Apps and Games] Smtih:
I can't seem to get the app to recognise "Okay Google" at all when I'm using pocketsphinx. If I change it to google, it works perfectly. Any ideas what might cause this?

Open Mic+ 5.2 Released!

More bug fixes... Keep those support requests coming!﻿
[Android Apps and Games] GTMoraes:
PT-BR translation is so-so.

"Detecção de Ondas" is totally wrong lol. "Ondas", in this "wave" translation, is meaning the same as "sound WAVES" or "sea WAVES", not as hand wave. The correct translation would be "Detecção de aceno"

"Root" is translated freely as "raiz", like in Trees root. "Root" means "root" here, just like "jailbreak". There is no translation for this.

I'd help in the translation, but unfortunately I have no time. It would be a great addition, however, to be able to choose English, instead of a translation.

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

Also, I have some problems:

The phone is a LG G2,

I've set it to only listen with the device off IF it's connected to a charger. It ignores that, and is always listening, with screen off or on. I'm afraid it'll drain my battery away.

I'll leave this option enabled and see what happens. The LG G2 got a pretty large battery anyway!

And when I wake it up with okay google, it should skip the lockscreen, but sometimes it launches the Google Now, and then my lockscreen gets ahead. The whole Google Now works flawlessly on the background, but I have to unlock the device to get rid of the lockscreen. I guess this cannot be circumvented?

--actually, after some testing, it seems that the OpenMic+ unlocks the device, but then immediately locks it again, even with Google Now running on the background, for some reason.

Sometimes it works right, It unlocks, presents the Google Now waiting for my input, then after I'm done, it locks the device again.

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

I noticed that sometimes it doesn't pauses for applications that needs microphone, such as Waze ASR, the very own Google Now, or even the Camera! A workaround for this is to pause and resume manualy. Unfortunately I didn't try to call to see what would happen.

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

major dealbreaker: when it bugs and doesn't pause for applications, the alarm clock cannot ring. It automatically goes to sneeze.

I came in two hours late to work =(
[Android Apps and Games] DoctorBRR:
Agree! :good:

An option to keep the English language would be much better that the translation for Brazilian Portuguese, it was very amateur.

The current version of the app is consuming more battery power than version 4.5, but is more accurate. Could this be the price to pay for accuracy?

A Response to Google Now Update 3.5.14

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/2...ed:+DroidLife+(Droid+Life)#comment-1454447021

By this time, many of you likely will have heard of the new Google Search update which vastly improves on the core feature set of Open Mic+. It is a slow roll-out, so I haven't had a chance to test first-hand, but from the video and comments, it seems that Google was able to fill the hole in Android that Open Mic+ was patching. For me, it is exciting that Google is constantly evolving Android and when I set out to create Open Mic+, I knew this day would come. That being said, it is still sad thinking about all the time spent on this project...

Anyways concerning the future of this app, this update in noway removes all use cases for Open Mic+, these use cases are listed below:

- Full screen off listening

- Wave and Shake Detection

- Tasker Commands

- If you have a device that is before (4.3) or maybe 4.4, somebody screwed up and put 4.3 (kitkat), so I'm not sure which one is correct

- Moto G or Moto X users

(https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6031948?hl=en&ref_topic=6048425)

- Users using different languages than English

- Users who don't want Google to possess all their voice data

That being said, I prefer to develop for the future rather than the past so I'll be transferring time spent towards this project towards others. I'll still be doing updates every once in awhile, but support times will be lengthened.

I learned so much from this project and I wanted to thank each and every one of my users for their feedback, patience, and support. Look forward to more great apps!
[Android Apps and Games] Verismo:
just discovered this app, i was just wondering how much of an impact does it have on battery usage?

I have a moto G so unfortunately i won't be able to use the update
[Android Apps and Games] Snaipersky:
Well, I'm running a Moto X, and it works for me kinda (randomly autostarts & doesn't obey screen off settings)
[Android Apps and Games] ZeRoWaR:
Hay there, i realy like your app, so a big thx to you!

However the german translation isn't that great, so if you need someone to translate it properly, then count me in.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:

If you didn't have to say "Note to self" every time, it would be less awkward to use. Saying "Commander" would be much nicer.
[Android Apps and Games] fiendskillz:
Will you be adding an always listening (screen off) and new hot word detection (custom hot word detection) for commandr?

i trying this app , but never work with screen off for me !

someone can help ?
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
I love open mic+, but it keeps turning off. I would like to have open mic+ come on at boot, and stay on.

Anyone else having this problem? I see open mic+ in my notifications when I start it, but then the microphone turns off.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

B.D.

I faced similar issue it even messed up my phone, the incoming caller could not hear my voice, sadly had to uninstall this otherwise excellent app. Hope the developer can improve on this bug.

Tasker Problem

Hi,

I have the 5.3 version.

I have defined several Tasker tasks to run on different commands.

Only the topmost task is being executed on all voice commands, although the commands are recognized.

For example:

I have Call Dad and Call Mom commands.

I have created corresponding tasks in Tasker with same names.

Call Dad is the first one and Call Mom is the second one.

When I say Call Dad it calls dad and but when I say Call Mon I see that the app had recognized the command because it's written

Call Mom but the app executes Call Dad.

If I change the order then Call Mom always executed, no matter what I say , even if the other command is open Taskes, still Call Mom will be executed.

Sounds like a really great app if it does not use up too much battery.

Will there be an option to choose a custom opening animation in the future? Maybe as a part of donate. The animation is low res on note2 and I'd like to set a picture of my own as the opening. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] bdizzle1686:
Definitely love this app, bought donate after having regular for less than an hour… this combined with Commandr is awesome. As for a feature request, I also would love to see a custom opening animation.. I know u can't officially make it exactly like the motox touchless control animation, but I sooo desperately want it!
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Android version- 4.2.2

App version- 5.3 Donate

Issue- When Open Mic+ is enabled there is a constant upload/download of data from Google Search/Now. Disable Open Mic+ and constant data usage stops.

Can it be consistently duplicated- Yes

Methods taken to correct-

Uninstalled/reinstalled both Google Search/Now and Open Mic+ multiple times.

Disable everything in Google Search/Now except search functions and related features required for functionality.

Disabled all Open Mic+ features except the bare minimum required for functionality.

Disabled Location services.

Multiple factory resets.

So, I am having a strange problem. for some reason, this thing keeps on checking GPS location, I turn it off, everything is fine. the second i turn it back on, it checks GPS about 10-15 times a min.

Google Engine to be Removed :(

So today I received this nice email...

Apparently Google doesn't have enough money to support their own servers? The reason I don't use the Google engine offline is because they don't freakin give me an option to (it will only go offline when there is no network connection)!

Anyways in terms of the future of this project, this means that within the next few days I will be working on disabling the Google Speech Engine. PocketSphinx will continue to be supported and in the future, I will be pushing more updates to try to make it easier to use... This also means that Tasker commands will no longer work through Open Mic+... I know a way around this, but it will take some significant time to implement which I don't have right now because of school/college apps. In the mean time please use my other app Commandr https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.Commandr

Of course if you want to keep using Google engine, there is no way to force you to update the app ;) But I am confident that I can make PocketSphinx good enough that the Google engine won't be necessary any longer...
[Android Apps and Games] bdizzle1686:
1st of all, your app is and has been 1 of the most valuable apps available to me, so thanks for the great work. 2nd, In this next update you'll be doing, are you SURE u have to completely DISABLE Google speech engine--***REASON I ASK IS THIS: Anybody who uses Google Now Launcher will face an adverse effect of not having Google Engine enabled- whenever I would use Pocket sphynx , the "Ok Google" function of the Google Now Launcher would completely stop working, microphone in search bar would be hollow instead of full, and the ONLY way I was able to get that fixed and be able to use BOTH OpenMic+ and Google Now Launcher together with COMPLETE functionality was to enable the Google Speech Engine for OpenMic+.... If there's any other way U know of that I may be overlooking, please let me know. Otherwise, are you SURE that the only solution to get Google's greedy a$$'s off u is to COMPLETELY remove the Google Engine? Look forward to any insight.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
You should be able to blacklist the launcher and it should work... That being said, I should be able to publish google engine updates to xda. I just have to keep them off of the play store...
[Android Apps and Games] bdizzle1686:
Ahh gotcha, cool, & good to know. Seriously man, I just wanna let u know, between The Open Mic+ and Commandr, your apps/ work have SERIOUSLY changed the way I use my phone! The only, AND I MEAN ONLY OTHER "WANT" or REQUEST I have- I know when u 1st made Open Mic +, u had Touchless Control in mind... 1 thing I have ALWAYS **DESPARATELY** wanted, is the Same black/red/gray Microphone opening animation that Touchless Control has... I dunno what it is about it, but I am OBSESSED WITH TRYING TO GET THAT SAME ANIMATION! I read somewhere that originally u had the Open Mic+ animation a lot closer to the look of the Moto Animation- if that's true, could u maybe POSSIBLY post like an XDA Exclusive version of OM+ with that animation??? I'm serious, I have LITERALLY SPENT HUNDREDS OF HOURS TRYING TO LEARN how to port Touchless Control (epic fail) , JUST CUZ I love the look of that animation so much. (TBH , I hate the blue/white look of the new Moto Voice) .. If it's not possible, I completely understand, I know Motorola would be all over your a$$ if u published that on the play store, hence u I asked for POSSIBLY an XDA Exclusive version. Again, thanks so much for all your time and all your great work!
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Unfortunately never got the animation looking like how I like. The main reason for this is that it would just take some time and I felt like it would be better for me to use my time making sure that the actual voice recognition is working properly instead of worrying about that animation. That being said, if I get into my early school (dec 15) or when I finish this term (jan 15), I'll have oodles of time and I can't wait to work on some stuff like this... I have a bunch of other apps in semi-working stages that I also want to complete, but I'm sure I'll eventually get around to this :)
[Android Apps and Games] bummerland:
I didn't read all the posts before, sorry if this was answered before.

I can't start the listening if a radio app (xia live) is running (using the google engine). What can I do to get it working?

With pocket mode it works, but I want to use the tasker feature...

best regards
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
5.4:

- Google has asked me to remove the Google Speech Engine due to high server traffic. From here on out, the only supported speech engine will be PocketSphinx... Kind of sucks, but you know you're legitimate when you are producing enough traffic for Google to care about you :)

- Because of this change Tasker commands are not supported... yet (I know a way just need more time). For now use my other app Commandr http://goo.gl/ymwQ46

- Fixes for conflicts in Lollipop

- Pocketsphinx optimization

The XDA version still retains google speech... just not the playstore version...
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Add the app to the blacklist. Or manually hit the pause/resume buttons in the notification bar.

feature request

Hi!

Could you please make openmic+ tasker commands to use more than 1 Command Phrase, separated by commas, like in Commandr? Keywords would be awesome too.

Becouse google now misunderstands me a lot, I need to add a lot of words like: Tights off instead of Lights off, etc. I can make it now, but it's not too nice to have 50+ tasker commands insted of 10 :)

This is just an idea :) thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] pablo71:
very excited about next version

I am very excited about pocketsphinx activating tasker commands.... that's so cool .... I use Bluetooth 100% of the time so with my setup Google Now , okay Google, and Google voice engine wreak havoc on functionality ... so good luck with pocketsphinx+tasker and please keep the listen over Bluetooth option...great work
