Here ya go, although i didn't see much useful info...

I do have a non standard text to speech app installed (Ivona). I'm going to test later some TTS settings. Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I'm working on this... but it is a bit complicated so it might take some time...
[Android Apps and Games] btorrenga:
Same thing with note 2 on Verizon (i605). So it launches Pandora, hands-free, but then I need to press the up volume button. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SilverSurferTDR:
Any way we can help? I remember it working flawlessly a couple of versions ago. I cant speak for others, but I'd be more than happy to re-install previous app versions reverse-chronologically until i hit the version that worked. Have you been able to re-create this issue for yourself?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
First working prototype of PocketSphinx integration completed! I'm not going to lie, once this is fully working it is going to be awesome. Recognition time is now so fast that it seems instantaneous. Even from a screen off mode, Google Now is open in less than a second. Also battery consumption is far less due to now fully (instead of offline-capable) recognition and recognition accuracy also seems to be far improved as well! RAM usage is down an easy 50% though I haven't been able to run comprehensive tests! Finally on a side note, recognition now works during music playback and all problems due to muting volumes are now solved as these hacks are no longer necessary!

If anybody wants the update now, shoot me an email (tickets@rsenapps.uservoice.com), I'm not really at a point where I need testers, but if you are dying to try it, let me know :)

Also I have a question of how to precede with foreign language interpretation. Right now I'm building PocketSphinx with an English dictionary and all custom hotphrases need to be English words. Is this a problem? Can I completely ditch Google Speech Recognition and all of its problems or should I keep including it?

We have a little forgotten, give us something to try.

Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] keijikage:
I'm getting some weird behavior when going to the home screen from the app- the notification keeps coming and going, and it's clear that something is closing/starting it, as it's unresponsive to commands.

-Hotphrase on

-PS recognition

-Default Google Now Hotphrase

-Listen while Screen off

-Listen only while screen off

Let me see if I can reproduce this with a little more detail, as i'm not sure exactly what other things might be causing this,
[Android Apps and Games] apama:
No found URL

It works but the motion detector, but does not recognize the voice. And with the media google engine sound is muted.
[Android Apps and Games] diggmc:
Is it just me? This new version of OM+ seems to randomly active.
[Android Apps and Games] apama:
Are not you just, I do also happens and more people.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Have you guys tried playing with the sensitivity value in speech engine settings?
[Android Apps and Games] armyofpunk:
I'm getting random force closes and when used Google can't reach its servers
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
It's really frustrating because I haven't been able to replicate these errors on any of the test devices... If you or anybody else that has this problem could really go into depth about what causes these issues, it would really be helpful.

For the force closes is there a pattern of when they happen? Are you clicking report on when they happen (make sure to add the information of when it is happening when you click the report button)?

When does Google say it can't reach its servers? Can you attach a screenshot? Does it always do this or only sometimes? Does this happen if you activate Google Now without using Open Mic+ (but Open Mic+ is listening)? Does this happen if you switch the speech engine to Google?
[Android Apps and Games] diggmc:
No, I wasn't even aware there where sensitivity settings. I'll play with it and see if it improves. Originally I though it was the podcast I was listening to that was causing the problems... Leo LaPorte was talking about "Ok Google" on his Moto X :)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
Will the new speech engine ever support Tasker?

Sent from my SM-N900V
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Hopefully... I'm awaiting a reply on some help forums. It seems feasible, but I need some guidance from somebody that has some experience as sound engineering is a strange complicated world where my previous knowledge is meaningless :)
[Android Apps and Games] armyofpunk:
Hey RSen my issues happen when I have open mic start listening it stops them pauses itself. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
So If I understand you correctly it stops as soon as you start it? Can you click the report button and put your xda name in the description so that I can figure out which specific exception you are getting?
[Android Apps and Games] Chris11ferret:
If it crashes it is because

Pocket sphinx doesn't work with multiple hotphrases. Sent from my AT&T Note 3.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Good point. Unfortunately I don't know how to recognize multiple hotphrases yet and that is why Tasker commands don't work yet... Hopefully I'll figure it out...

[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
I just downloaded this app yesterday. So far it works extremely well and I haven't noticed a significant battery drain. I am also getting random activation when listening to mp3 tracks from my phone through my car speakers. It's happened at least a dozen or so times in two days. I haven't adjusted the sensitivity settings yet because they require a donated version and I'm a bit hesitant to buy the app if this issue won't go away.

I'm happy to assist in testing and sending logs. Just let me know where I can help
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Send me a PM, I'll send you the donate version...
[Android Apps and Games] TheBeaconProject:
Hey, I bought the donate version last night but I still can't seem to get the app to consistently work. It usually works the first time with the screen off, then won't work after that. I also noticed the same multimedia volume issue where music/videos is muted.

Is there a new version not yet in the play store?

I'm on GS4 my user ID is hv7yaq5d7hco
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Can you click Support and send me a log? Also are you using Pocketsphinx or Google as the speech engines.
[Android Apps and Games] stevo_125:
Hi,

Just stumbled across this app, looks great, and great to see the dev so active in the thread. My hat off to you sir!

Will have a play with this tonight, but if it stays on my phone i'll be sure to grab the donate version.

Few questions about what is possible and such:

- I assume in screen on and off modes we can use the usual Google now stuff like "play a Song by [some band]" , "set an alarm for", "directions to [place]" etc

-Can we do things like "ok google, connect to bluetooth" (not supported in normal Google now AFAIK), or is this something that can be done with tasker? I take it this is the point of the tasker integration right, multiple "hot phrases" to toggle tasker routines...?

-Any examples of other cool stuff we can do with this app? :)

-Whats the battery drain like on the screen-off mode? I assume it has to prevent the phone going into deep sleep mode, and therefore battery drain must be fairly high? - If this is the case perhaps it might be good to have a widget or something for quickly toggling screen-off mode on and off without going into the app.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
RSenG2x, I am still getting the random activation of the app when playing music from my phone even with the newest version. I have turned the sensitivity down to 1 and it noticeably reduces the occurrences. I have yet to have time to figure out if reducing the sensitivity affects the ability to use the app as intended. Will keep you posted...
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
1. Sure can :)

2. Yes, but instead of first saying ok google, you can go ahead and say your custom hotphrase. If you want you could put ok google in this...

3. I use it while doing homework so that I can look up the molar mass of stuff without having to have my keyboard out and also use it while driving to play music and navigate and stuff... There are some videos on Youtube of examples of other stuff :)

Hmm... Maybe I should include lower sensitivity values? It is thinking that it is hearing Okay Google so maybe try changing the hotphrase as well? The hard part is finding a spot where it will still recognize Okay Google if you say it over the music, but won't randomly activate...
[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
Wouldn't it make more sense to disable the listening while the device is playing music? It's one thing to ignore the TV while it's sitting on the couch and another to be listening for music coming from it's own speakers. Filtering out everything but "Okay Google" seems like an enormous hurdle :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I suppose I should make this an option... The Google Engine is not capable of recognizing during music and this was a feature that a lot of people wanted that pocketsphinx can do...
[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
Cool - just sharing feedback. So far no accidental triggers today while on sensitivity level 1. I play music from my phone in my car via aux and it happened frequently at level 3
[Android Apps and Games] legalmoneygang:
I usually don't pay for apps but I will definitely donate and recommend it to my friends. Thanks for this app it's exactly what I was looking for!
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
Great app.. I also had some issues where it activates while listening to music and sometimes on random occasions
[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
RSenG2x - it's definitely activating too often. I have the sensitivity set at level 1 but it went off twice last night while watching TV and repeatedly goes off while playing music from the phone's own speakers or aux cord into my car speakers

However, it activates with my voice with near 100% accuracy while sitting next to me on the table. I haven't noticed any additional battery drain on my HTC one and I keep it active from startup. Props there!
[Android Apps and Games] Garlock:
Wait - sensitivity level? Where is this option?

The issue that I'm having is that the phone doesn't hear my hotphrase unless I'm basically shouting at it.

At the same time, if I say "hi galaxy" even at a whisper - the S Voice thing pops up.

How do I get the sensitivity boosted on OpenMic+?
[Android Apps and Games] SilverSurferTDR:
I am also experiencing the sensitivity problem, but in addition, i am also unable to to use the speach to text functionality in sending text messages while the app is active. Similar to the mutes audio in one of the previous versions, when i turn Open Mic off, i am again able to use the speach to text functionality of my keyboard...
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
Tasker support for pocketphinx

When pocketsphinx and tasker are planned to be combined in open mic+. Awaiting that version eagerly.
[Android Apps and Games] Garlock:
It's already integrated. Update to the newest version.
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
I assume the latest version is 4.3 and in it, when pocketsphinx is selected, it says tasker not yet supported in this version.
[Android Apps and Games] Garlock:
Fair enough - I misunderstood the tasker thing.

Either way - you can get around that by using autovoice and xposed framework to hijack the google now interface.

I started out using openmic+ for the tasker integration but have since abandoned it due to the whole shouting thing.

Now I just use it for the custom hotphrase (you can't customize the S Voice hotphrase on the Note 3) - that opens google now, and autovoice/xposed framework lets me make google now do anything I want.

Search YouTube for the tasker tutorials channel by Armando Ferreira, and theres a video that shows you how to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] cartisdm:
RSenG2x,

I've had about a week with the app. I've used it heavily and I will attest that it works perfectly. 99% of the time I have it activated from when the screen is off, usually it's been off for quite some time and it still performs flawlessly. The app continues to activate on its own when I'm playing audio from my device so that part is a pain. I would definitely like to see an option to where it could be set to disable when playing audio.

Keep up the great work! I will stay posted with this thread

Read text outloud while listening

Has anyone gotten the read text out loud feature to work with hangouts ? If so can you help me out, thanks in advance.

-C.Smith
[Android Apps and Games] 1001000100100101010010101:
Hi there, Mr. Ryan. I love OpenMic+. I even bought donate version. I use it all the time on my Moto G. I'm not a developer or anything, just a 14-year old. I wanted to ask you if you could replace the opening animation (That "hello" thing..) with a mock-up of touchless control, in Free and Donate version. Please, if it is no problem... I've attached some pictures, if you need them... The 3 images can be displayed randomly (just like Moto X).
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
It is a little different, but I'll add some higher sensitivity values...

Unfortunately, there is no good way around this... Either blacklist the app you use speech to text in or use the pause/resume buttons in the notification bar...

I'm working on it, it is just pretty complicated to do and I don't have a ton of time...

Working on this :)

Unfortunately this won't work because Hangouts provides little to no integration with the rest of the Android system... But add it as an idea on help.RSenApps.com and if it gets enough votes, I'll use a similar notification reading hack that I did in my Hangouts Widget.

Sure... there are some limitations and it is not as easy as just showing pictures, but I'm working to make it look nicer. I don't want to just copy them incase they try to sue me, but I'll do something similar...
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Haha that's fair. I recommend you follow the g+page though so you'll know if I update to conserve battery life :)

So I think the issue is that the kernel can't handle the speech recognition with the screen off. And from what I understand, stock kernels are usually not the best choice... Good luck though, keep me updated on what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] schuylkillparanormal:
Just curious is touchless controls open source? I know active display just came available on aosp. I really dont understand why google would pull your app other than Google is working on touch less control but make active display open souce.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
That's what I've heard from some sources... It's kind of an Apple move though...
[Android Apps and Games] schuylkillparanormal:
Nah apple would of followed up with a seize and assest letter from there crooked lawyers.
[Android Apps and Games] JustSayTech:
Ok I dont mean to sound like a tight-ass or a stickler, but c'mon! Before i comment, i just want to say your a great dev for creating this app and becoming the most known app for implementing similar functionality to the Motorola feature. I'm copy-pasting this from your G+ page (Mods/OP if i am offending you or the rules please feel free to delete this post):

You stated that Google initially sent you this:

...and my comment was this:

I wasn't sure if you were going to get this on G+ so i thought I'd post it here once to get it to you (No spam intended), i just hate when devs give backlash and not at least try to solve the issue brought to their attention first... it could be this or I am just totally missing something.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I'm just going to paste my reply from g+, I am in no way offended, I enjoy the help as I am pretty clueless when it comes to these legal issues:
[Android Apps and Games] schuylkillparanormal:
I think were all missing the point here. google is an mutibillion dollar company they'll do what they please, they got the money lawyers and connections to do so. In all honestly there the last ppl on earth that should talking about privacy but we all know the saying money walks all bull talks.

Finally they don't have touchless control on the market for nothing we all knoww it will be available to 4.1 users and up sometime in the future either as an separate app or by the talks of it maybe a part of Google search which would make sense to steer ppl into geting a newer device. But motox is still young give it some time. Its all about the money and there protecting there investment.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
They might have a good motive, I'm just saying it's not fair for me :) Anyways the plan is after I change the speech recognition, I"ll re-release in Google Play with a heavy privacy policy. This means they have no reason to complain about privacy as I can't even interpret what the user is saying with the new speech recognition.
[Android Apps and Games] schuylkillparanormal:
Life aint fair. I think the speak recognition would set apart you and google and long as the app doesnt depend on search or there products theres no need for a disclaimer. The whole battle is over your app triggering search without a disclaimer. Even though search is there product your app triggers it and makes it your problem legally.
[Android Apps and Games] flvinny521:
Am I the only one who noticed the change log in the new Google search update?

Okay Google is now a keyword to begin a voice search.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
That only works if you are on the home screen of Google now which completely defeats the purpose of it. This means you still have to touch the phone and have to go back to the home screen after asking each question. Open mic runs for as long as you want it to.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
cool, thanks.

Just installed. I'm currently trying your app.

When "hand wave" is ON the screen turns on when I refold my Smart Cover so I had to disable this feature.

I have no more lockscreen...

does this consume battery life?
[Android Apps and Games] 1001000100100101010010101:
Good Luck! In case they try to sue you, release the apk privately on xda :p .

And one more thing, can you please remove the "Lock after closing google now" donate limit from free version? My dad has the free version on his note 2 and it bothers him while driving. He doesn't wanna pay beause he is scared of hackers.
[Android Apps and Games] Garlock:
LOL! What makes him think that having a pid version on his phone would be any different than a free version? The google store has his information either way. Also - the PLAY store gives him the option to pay on his phone bill - so only his phone company (who also already has his information) will ever know.

Tell him that it's 2014, and to plunk down the two bucks. :p

Also - point him to this thread if it will make him feel better since he can talk to the actual dev.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Thanks! Send me an email to RSenApps@gmail.com, I'll send you the paid apk... You would be surprised that there is actually a significant backlash from making a previously paid version free as users who paid for the app just for this feature, feel cheated... They have done studies that show that raising the price of an app effects your user satisfaction much less than lowering it. Who would figure right? But either way, I'm always happy to give out the paid apk for those that aren't able to buy it so that they can enjoy the full experience.

Does pocket sphinx support other versions of english? I'm Australian, and it wont recognise my phrase unless I put on an american accent, particularly with the 'o' sound.
