utter! Voice Commands BETA!

On my first trial I gave this app 4 stars because it worked well straight after install and set up. Context: car hands free Bluetooth with phone off line. However the next day it didn't work. Nothing had changed in set up from previous day but the only response I got was "Sorry but I couldn't hear you speak". Also the audio was randomly coming from either the car hands-free or the phone but I couldn't control it. No use to me! Uninstalled.

I am trying to contact the wonderful developers so that voice print "priming" can be incorporated. This feature allows isolating the personal voice of user from noise and better speech recognition. Technically this is a negative filter that removes noise from user speech based on established personal voice. I believe command identification will really take off. I am willing to pay for such feature and support its development with my limited knowledge if necessary. Keep up the wonderful work!

Works great on my note 3 with kitkat. I love that you can converse and it tells you what you're sending via text. Also has always listening mode when screen is off. Although it drains your battery like crazy. Hopefully the dev can find a way to take advantage of the low power processor of snap dragon 800 so it doesn't drain battery as much with always listening mode. This is better than google voice or s voice. I would buy this app.

Really enjoyed the tutorial. Made me feel like I was playing Portal. The main reason I downloaded the app though was for playing music in the car. The problem is I have many versions of the same song from different live albums. It would be great if you could either input the album title in the command, or maybe show a list of songs that were a close match to the command and let the user pick the one they're looking for.

This personal assistant is absolutely amazing. I love the fact that it works without using data. It always understands and communicates what I say correctly. To the maker of this app; you're a genius. The fact that it's free is unbelievable!!! Thank you 4 such an amazing app. I wouldn't blame you one bit if you started charging a fee to use it when it gets out of beta. I will be a customer for life. The only thing I would change is the "persons" name. I like Utter as the name of the app but I personally would have given "him" a more exciting name like Stunna Steve or something like that lol.

Brandell your superb app is not outdated or supplanted by google voice or tasker at all but augments both and the sum is greater than the parts. Shake to wake is always on for me. I do hope you continue to improve. For example, permanent recognition is a battery drainer. And altho my shake threshold is set to very low, utter goes off a lot by itself. Kudos to your hard work on this.

Great app. Helped me get all my offline voice recognition working. But there is more merrit than that. Can text hands free now while driving and not use data. It could be improved greatly but the seamless star trek computer is decades away but this properly referencing wolfram alpha would be pretty close. (It leaves in %20 instead of spaces so wolfram doesn't understand)

So far this app runs very smooth. I have an off market android phone and the app combines perfectly. I do however have one issue that arises often. When using the permanent talk to wake up ( I forget at this time the actually features name) if I ask for music or if I give a long command the permanent feature will deactivate itself and I have to go back to turn it on. For a free beta this app is literly spectacular I will freely donate to keep this going. Very good job

I have my music files in the music directory and it says, cannot find the track, created a playlist named music with the same result. All music files are mp3. Can I get some help with that? Am I missing something? Other than that, you have done a tremendous job! Thanks! Update: 9/3/15. I found it plays some mp3 files, but most of them do not. I have compared the files properties and they seem to be the same. Also, once it plays there is no command to pause, go next or previous.

Utter has excellent voice recognition, and near seamless integration. I have tried a few voice recognition apps, and none of them come close to utter. It allows you to control select applications on your phone and perform tasks like sending text messages without having to worry if it understood you correctly. It also allows you to choose your tts app if you are not a fan of the default Google voice. The only small issue I have with the app is that you cannot paraphrase the commands (yet).

One of my absolute favourites. Extremely recommended! Here are some improvements you could made: wake me up in x hours/minutes command, wake me up at x o'clock command, set utter name and ignore it in commands 'jarvis, what time is it?', randomly answer questions with one of various possible answers (for a conversation mode with a little bit of surprise).

This is a great utility to be able to voice control and have fun with your device. I use it with my Galaxy S3, and have it on my galaxy gear. This way I can use my watch to interact with my phone via voice control. Looking forward more integration with apps and the ability to make my device completely hands free. Every once in awhile it will get stuck in a "How can I help you" loop. Though simply restart and its fine!

Utter! Since the first day I installed it has been the one application I use the most and love to use. My A.I. level keeps increasing and utter! Keeps learning and getting easier to use every day. I recommend this application to anyone on the Android platform. Ben Randall- you truly created something VERY USEFUL AND FUN TO USE! Truly a great achievement! Will donate as soon as I have something worthy to contribute. You have my word on that.

It's a great concept with a lot of potential and this particular variant seems to have a great deal more going for it than competitors especially in the arena of interacting with other programs. However the wake up voice command rarely works nor do the other ways of waking it up short of turning it on manually. Definitely worth a try when it's out of beta.

I keep finding myself going between this app and Assistant. They just got a new update and it looks wonderful, but this one functions better for the most part. I'm just not a fan of how plain it looks. There is nothing to it visually. If you could add an actual screen for the conversations instead of that little box. Just make it look nice and polished, I'd never leave. Maybe take a look at Assistants new look so you know what I mean. If you can do that, this will be hands down the best app of its kind!!!

The program looks great and seems to have a lot to offer. Even after multiple setting changes and re-installs never got the app to listen (on Galaxy S5). Don't waste your time like me and download until all the bugs are fixed.

Voice controlled personal assistant! It's extremely fast and simple to use. By itself it's a 100 times better than Google's voice engine. It understands whatever you say and performs the task in a second. With Google I can't tell you how many times it wouldn't understand me and it takes forever to perform the task. However, the best part about this app is that you can make it work together with Google Now, making it a really super powered voice personal assistant. Try it!

There are so many virtual assistances which eat your data 24/7 but i believe this is one of the coolest. This will be a major break through. And need to say to the developer "never give up" bez what you have done is something no one has done.

Have tried a few different assistants each had a feature I loved. Utter! Has all of them! Would love for it to tell me that I received text and the option to have it read instead of me asking. When in car mode, maybe have a different skin that's visible when sunny, small mic in notification is exactly that too small. Keep up the good work can't wait for updates.

I tried installing this with Tasker but I am getting an unknown error 550 during the install. I factory reset my phone a galaxy note 3 with lollipop and tried again it will not install with Tasker installed. It will if I Uninstaller Tasker though so I am thinking it has to do with app permissions. Would like to see how it interacts with Tasker though. I will wait for a future release

Really amazing what this app can do. With a little configuration and experimentation you can control practically all phone functions with nothing more than your voice. Also, probably the best option for the car, although I cannot keep it in 'driving mode' (permanent recognition/read notifications) when my GPS is set to give me verbal directions.

Hey guys, you have done a great job. So far this is app is working well but offline feature is not working. May be this feature is not compatible on lollypop platform. If this could work in lollypop, I will give it 5 stars ;) just kidding, plz share if offline feature could work on lollypop, I would really appreciate it.. Otherwise, this is a good app to use.. :)

Motorola Gv4 Marshmallow, Pioneer BT100 hands free. Installed once, but did not work with BT button so uninstalled. Reinstalled to try another option, this time I was asked what app should process the BT button press. This didn't happen first time around. BT button now works if autoconnect is on. However, voice response does not wait for BT connection to be established. Secondly, is there any way to force offline mode, eg with differing language settings.

Hi! I've tried almost every other assistant out there but found Utter! to be the best! Just love the customization option and how you can tweak all the existing commands to your comfort! Just one issue.. I've been noticing that the app automatically reduces the ringtone/ notification volume to somewhere around 50%. Any solution for the same?

I have been playing/configuring this app and it looks as though it needs work. I have a LG Optimus extreme, so my phone is a little old, and my connection isn't so great. I say good work. If this wasn't in beta I'd only give a two. I'm going to try your launch the app next. And once again, great beta for sure.

its an amazing program, and i love that it works offline! thats the selling point for me! few things though, is there a way to respond to texts as they come in without having to activate it? it seems mine only picks up around half of the texts i receive.. ill be working on getting something to donate asap. i love it! email verification failed due to test lost in metadata repeatedly

The updates have stopped rolling in. The last one was June, and there are large sections of the app still incomplete, which needed to put this in competition with avx level integration and functions. Don't get me wrong, you need this app. However you may want to go elsewhere for your daily driver until updates start rolling in again..

This is a great App, it shows where voice control is going. Great for when you're in the car. Only Bug I've found is i can't change the wake-up phrase, no matter what I change the wake up phrase to in settings Utter only responds to "wake-up" which is the default (Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 [ART runtime])

Lovely idea... but when I click on Voice Tutorial, nothing happens other than all the other buttons say 'Disabled during tutorial'! No voice, no changing panels... literally, no tutorial. On stock Galaxy S4. Rebooted phone, uninstall/reinstalled app.

I am sorry that I didn't find this sooner! I had tried at least one other similar app a couple of years ago and thought it was cheesy. Your settings ui is straight forward. Nice app. BTW 2.09 is cheap unicorn milk. I pay 4.00 for cows milk... Lol. Realized after posting this that you have been on hiatus for a while. Please tell me that you are returning...

Nice work over all but i am unable to use it because of the messages of, "sorry, i lost the connection" when my phone is very surely have a connection. And then for activating the wake-up configuration it says, "there was an audio recording error." Please fix this, i have a good feeling that its gonna be awesome.

Finally an app that lets you really drive hands-free. Lets you make phone calls, select music to play and dictate messages, all this with your voice only. Works perfectly with my Bluetooth speaker phone. The only thing I don't like is the metallic robotic sound it speaks. It may have been acceptable in the 90's but in the 21st century I expect the voice to be less robotic and more human-like.

I musta been mad at 'ok google' when I did. Anyway, it's on my tablet and I can't even remember how to " activate" it. I know it's some special command, but not offered in their help and I can't remember. Thought I'd let everyone know my last breath on this app is to let you know I'm uninstalling. Goodbye 500,000 other people that installed it!

Like all other promising voice command apps devlopment of this app is stopped.do not waste time on this.

Very frustrating...I've written better text adventure game parsers than this... not compatible with my Ematic tablets.

Tried to install the application, just get an error code -505. Nexus 4 Android 5.0.1

But I don't know why though m on jelly bean utter doesn't work offline.. but still m happy with it...........................OK edit. This is what I did for offline recognition. Uninstalled utter. Downloaded UK offline language pack. Installed utter. Configured. And now it can recognize every thing. Its mostly on wake up configure so don't need to touch my phone. Reads text. Anything what Google now can't do. Can recognize the most difficult task for any assistant and that's contact name. Check d stars 5

- 'Wake up' via voice doesn't stay on. - Would like the option to begin and end with Bluetooth connection, as i only use app while driving. Other than that the app is great, I'll begin using it when resolved and happy to donate.

Good app, with some nice features. I want to use it with only voice comands but haven't figured that out. I use the external button (separate DL) to activate. Also the tutorial seemed to list everything necessary except step 1. Very difficult to learn but im sure they can tweak it. Overall this is a keeper even though I feel like it removed my most recent Google voice update. Google voice doesn't seem to work as well as it use to.

Unlike "OK Google" and most other voice command apps, Utter can process voice commands without having to turn on your data plan. Also, thanks to it's custom command creator, Tasker integration, and replace words options, you can set up your own command phrases and set up your phone to do almost anything you tell it to.
