[APP][4.1+][V5.4] Open Mic+ for Google Now

This app seems to have been orphaned. Is that the case?

At first it worked just fine, but now it opens Google search every 30 seconds without even being called. I have to freeze the app to get it to stop. After pressing the stop button it will turn itself back on and call forth Google search again.

Lots of time force closes. Developer doesn't reply mails. Impossible to contact him. Do you know if there is a similar app working ok? Or maybe a solution to force closes? Using Android 5.1.1, Note 3 and latest version of Open Mic and Google App. Thank you very much!

Add non-english hot word to PocketSphinx dictionary

I haven't seen this solution mentioned yet so thought I'd sign up and post in the hopes that it helps others.

If you're having difficulty setting a hot word with PocketSphinx because of the "non-english word" error, you can simply add it to the dictionary. The dictionary file is named hub4.5000.dic and can be found in the following directory on your phone's primary storage:

\Android\data\com.RSen.OpenMic.Pheonix\files\models\lm

The dictionary is a text file and consists of a list of words in alphabetic order. Next to each word is a pronunciation key. Adding a new word is just a matter of inserting a new line in the correct place and defining the pronunciation. The pronunciation key is separated from the word by a tab and each syllable of the pronunciation is separated by a space. Getting the correct pronunciation is the tricky part as the "sounds" may not be entirely intuitive. Luckily, there are plenty of words in the dictionary you can use as a reference. You could also do it via trial and error.

For example, I wanted to add the word "Anita"--she's the hot android from the show "Humans"--so I inserted the following line:

Code:

anita	AH N IY T AA

Save the file. You can now make "anita" your hot word in Open Mic+

2017-10-14: I conclude that the answer is yes: The play store page states:

Due to MIT overworking me, this application will no longer be supported by me Thank you to everyone for all the support, I hope to get back to this one some day.

I tried installing it on a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and got many errors during setup, including warnings about api's being cancelled by Google, and including repeatable/reproducible force closes when trying to use the application.

I will edit this post to include pictures once I can figure out why imgur.com does not want to accept uploads of my screenshots from this new device.

No matter, I tried it, a few times, on different phones / ROMs and could not get it to function properly.

Open source?

Anyone know if it was both orphaned but open-sourced so that someone else (not me!) can start making it work again?

I installed this app on my VZW Note 5 and then uninstalled it. Since then I havent been able to use the regular "ok google" voice commands on my phone from any screen like I used to be able to before installing this app. I checked the settings in the google app for voice and everything is setup right. How can I fix this? Thanks.

I know that I am late but I'll still ask: I found "com.RSen.OpenMic.Pheonix" folder but there was no dictionary database file in it. Did that file moved or it's not possible to edit it anymore?

no rountime

Hello
I have installed version 5.5.1 on an HTC M9 +.
I need it to launch a runtime created with the google assistant when the screen is off.
when I say ok google turns on and receives my voice but instead of launching the runtime it goes to do an internet search.

Hi everyone,

Wow it has been a long time since I worked on Open Mic+! My interests have moved on from Android apps (you can see some of my latest projects here: http://rsenapps.com/). But it was really fun to go back through this thread and remember how many people used to love (and hopefully still have fond memories of) Open Mic+!

I also wanted to point out that Open Mic+ was open sourced https://github.com/RSenApps/OpenMicAndroid I think I put the announcement in the google play store description, but it got lost when Google removed it from the store again. Definitely should have posted about that here too, my bad.

Really happy to help anyone interested in reviving this project. I haven't kept up with the latest Android API / Google search app changes, but hopefully it is still possible!

Y'all are awesome!
Ryan
