Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this.
I am trying to automate my phone by using voice commands,state executions etc.
Tasker is one of the app I really like and hope to get some good understanding of it in order to make my phone more efficient.
Right now I'd like to know if there's a way to use the navigation system through the voice command and also set it to either use or not use motorways.
According to google, to use the navigation system I have to use the word "navigate to... location".
By doing this, a page, showing time and distance, comes up but then I have to click on it in order to proceed
However I tried "navigate to 'location' avoid motorway" and this doesn't work.
How can I achieve this?
Are there ways to go through apps functions using voice commands?
Is it there a better voice command alternative than google now?(i heard of autovoice and utter, what's your opinion?)
Thank you in advance

I am looking for an offline version (replacement) of the stock Voice Dialer and Voice Search features.
My situation:
I am not always online with my phone. I have it on a Pageplus plan and not Verizon. My plan only has 50MB of data, so I just leave the data connection off and use WiFi all the time. When I am driving or away from a Wifi spot I can't utilize either feature because they require a live data connection to work. It is very inconvenient to have to turn on data just to voice dial a phone number or voice launch an app. The same thing applies with the keyboard that has the microphone to do 'voice to text'. All these features are linked and require a live data connection.
I have tried a couple market apps that have the voice features, but they require a live data connection also.
Does anyone know of an offline solution to this problem?
Voice interpretation software is too large, therefore its done on a remote server somewhere. Best of luck finding a solution. I hate to say it, but the outlook is bleak.

Rubbish - Microsoft managed it years ago on the WinMo devices and managed to cram in voice dialling, application starts, statuses & even media selection into a 7MB app. I would be more than happy to lose 200MB to an SD card to have this functionality offline and with some of the processing power available in our hands now, I totally refute that theory of the software being too large given that it was done (and very well) over 6 years ago with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. If they've made Maps now available offline with caching, this same functionality MUST be possible with Voice Actions; even if just limited to a set of commands such as voice dialling, starting applications & selecting media as what synaptyc was referring to.
Yeah this would be very good!!!
i am looking 4 an app like this as well!!
I did find an app that can do basic stuff..
But it can't reply back to you.. ;(;(
It should be pre-installed with your phone!!
Its called voice dialer, it can open apps
and call people and thats about it!!

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.
I think this is what you need.
Hello. Today I a friend of mine gave me his Dexim Click Stik since he didn't need it anymore. It's a simple bluetooth clicker for taking pictures with iOS or Android phones.
I don't take many pictures with my phone, much less ones that need me in them. I was hoping I could use the clicker as a remote activator for some shortcut or app.
I've been googling and searching around for hours without much luck. The only thing I've been able to do so far is find an app that lets me open an app upon the Click Stik connecting to my phone, but not when I specifically press the button on the device itself. Not very practical, in my opinion.
I found a tutorial I thought was helpful in somewhat understanding what I might need to do in order to get the functionality I'm looking for here: http://chris.boyle.name/2010/08/android-keymaps. However, the KeyTest.apk he links to in order to obtain the KeyEvent from the bluetooth device does not display any input events when I hit the button on the clicker.
I also haven't been able to find any similar apps to what KeyTest seems to say it does.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
Edit #1: I was able to install the KeyTest.apk via ADB by "adb install KeyTest.apk". Not sure why it worked this way when it wouldn't install normally. That said, now that I have the program open, pressing the button on the bluetooth clicker doesn't result in the KeyTest program telling me anything. Kind of disappointed. Not sure where to go from here.
I'm working on doing some automation on my phone, and I want to perform some actions that I'm hoping I can perform using Android intents. I'm not very knowledgeable about how they work or how to find them, but I'm trying to hack some stuff together.
Here's my main question: how do I go about figuring out if I can use intents for a particular task or see what I can do with intents?
For example, I would like to be able to trigger the "Share trip progress" feature within Google Maps automatically (using Flic buttons, which allow me to use Android intents). I don't know if I can set up an intent myself to trigger this action in the Google Maps app, and I don't really know where to start in order to try to find out how to do it.
Another example is that I would like to trigger Google Assistant with my Flic button, but I want to use my Anker Roav Bolt in my car to respond to the action. Flic has a function built in to trigger Google Assistant, but it's a lot more invasive in that it opens the prompt on the phone and disrupts my Google Maps navigation as opposed to if I long-pressed the button on my Roav Bolt and it just listens for instructions without disruption. I have no clue if this is something I could trigger using Android intents, but I'd like to find a way to make this smoother.
If you have solutions to these two problems, that would be great. But as I said, I would also like to have a better general understanding of how I could find this stuff myself for future stuff I want to set up on my phone.
Thank you.
There are colleagues who have asked me how to deactivate the Google feed window that we have on the left of the home screen, for those who want to deactivate it, they must follow the following steps.
We get into the application drawer, we go to the Google application. Click on the application and a window opens, click on application information and click on disable the application.
Now we will no longer have the Google feed window on the left of the home screen.
Any downsides on this? Just noticed Google assistant doesn't work anymore

As you say, the google assistant will not work for you.
Podcasts and Lens won't work either.
Thank you. This is the only reasonable answer, and it appears to be easy in fact. Unfortunately, the regular method is hidden/eliminated by the developers, i.e. there is no item to control it in the Home Screen settings. I have seen so many opinions, from "impossible" to sophisticated ways using Android Debug Bridge.
Good tip, works like a charm. I'm not a fan of Assistant or most other bloatware either, so good riddance. I just wish these products gave more control to the user, or even retained the same options to enable/disable things as the older versions.
Hi all,
I want to do Voice Typing through my Android Device to my Windows Machine.
I found an app which works pretty well, called Unified Remote. Pretty well known.
The downside right now is: I always have to use the app, go to "Basic Input", open my Smartphone Keyboard (Gboard) and press the Voice Typing button. This is a long way.
I want to know whether the following is possible either in Unified Remote OR whether you know a similarly app:
I want to create either a widget or a Quick Action in the notification area which does the following on ONE click
It should directly open my default Keyboard app on my smartphone (as said: this is GBoard) directly in voice typing mode.
My goal is a One-Click solution to voice-type through my smartphone to my Windows machine.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
