Hi folks, sorry for my absence - finally emerged from the Play Store bugs and think I've pretty much got them. In between times I've been working on some new features too, some of which I think you'll like
I'll need to let you folks have a tinker with it before I upload to the Play Store - really hoping within the next 24 hours!
Yeah, you can open apps and make calendar entries, but it is pretty basic. You have to speak the exact words to get it to start (which I guess is the same for utter as of now). But I'm confident that you'll make it less robotic to do so, and you have plenty of time until the next Android OS (and that's even if Google does release their voice assistant then).
Good to know even with their resource they aren't leaving me behind! When you say 'voice assistant' you make it sound like another app apart from Google Now ? Is that what you mean?
I'm curious because I'm nosey; what is the highest AI level Utter will report at present?
Mine did say 1.04 until a recent patch when it dropped to 1.035. I don't use Tasker but imagine that integrating with Tasker would increase the reported AI level significantly...?
I'm not asking because I'm worried that I'm missing anything at present; I know things are going to get a whole lot more
intelligent some day soon.
ps. Can you make it so that a FB status update or email body/subject begins with a capital letter?
Also, I'm struggling with some punctuation:
"Question mark" works
"Exclamation mark" works
"Comma" works
"Full stop" doesn't work ( I haven't tested this but... please don't make me say "period"
)
"dash" or "hyphen" doesn't work
And can we have a 'new line' or 'carriage return' command?
Also, (sorry for bombarding) does the voice recognition improve as we use it more? (I'm using ICS if that matters)

Thanks for all of these suggestions and yes to them all! I get rid of the punctuation etc when I'm searching for matches, so I need to add it back in after. I'll have a ponder about new paragraph etc too. Also, in two releases time there will be an option to increase the pause timeout, so you don't have to worry so much about taking a long breath! I'll add full stop in too - 'period' is just not very English!
The AI level isn't working properly, thanks for making me double check! I can't actually remember what the highest level possible would be on the last release, as mine is updated now and I'd have to recompile, load everything etc... When I fix it, I'll you know how you hit 'power user' status.
Google Voice Search improves the more you use it - although it also gets worse too! Returns off whenever I say on and puts text and call at the beginning of so many sentences for no reason at all.... I'm having to increasingly reverse-algorithm these. Another couple of solutions are coming soon too
I was a little curious myself about the AI level. I was at 1.04 and dropped to 1.03. I use tasker so I would think think that would up my score?
It's supposed to!
Hi Brandall do you want my help on translating whole app to Portuguese (Brazil)?
Thanks for the offer and yes please! Not right now though... It's a huge task for me to prepare the list of what needs to be translated and in what context. I won't be too long though. Thanks again for the offer. :good:
As far as speed goes....In comparison to the multitudes of other voice assisted apps that I have tried, Utter moves very quickly. If you think it can be improved that would be monumental. The only time that I notice much lag depends on internet connection. Obviously an offline engine would be the fastest, but I can't imagine what it would take to develop.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
:fingers-crossed: too! I'll build it in somehow... As far as speed goes, every command is lightening quick for me, on test devices and emulator, so if anyone does have a command that is slow to process, please do bring this to my attention!
My AI level is 1.0 and I feel real dumb. I've tried to increase AI level by linking my Tasker with utter!, but I can't link Tasker. It says "There was error communicating with Tasker"
Also I can't enable Shake-to-Wake, Wave-to-Wake, and Visual Results. I don't know if Tasker isn't understanding my 'enable' or it doesn't have this feature.
I can't use 'spell' it doesn't recognize this word. When I try to use 'define', it says this feature is not there yet.
The Tasker issue is a known Android problem where an application does not recognise the permission to use it, if it's installed after the application wanting permission! Not sure if it's fixed in Jelly Bean? You'd have to uninstall utter! and then re-install it to get Tasker to find the permissions. The bug is stared a lot of times
from my post here and I've asked the dev of Tasker to put a work-around in for this.
There is the option to enable shake and wave in the settings menu. Does it work then? The command to turn it on is 'enable visual results' - does it not work? 'Define' isn't quite ready yet - need to build in Wikipedia (and some others) support. Solution for it not recognising 'spell' coming in the next release!
[SNIP]The only thing I have not gotten to work is the Wave to Wake feature.
Still haven't worked out how I can demonstrate the 'rhythm' other than a very odd YouTube video!
Will be right here soon enough, finishing, polishing, changing UI, and voila!
I'll look forward to checking it out! :victory:
Thanks once again for all feedback, suggestions and reports folks!
I think you're going to like the next release
