I am on a Galaxy S8 and Android 7.0.
Following this guidance, http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-custom-voice-commands-with-tasker-and-aut-1282209195, I installed Tasker and AutoVoice. Google app already installed. I enabled Autovoice accessibility service and AutoVoice Google Now integration.
OK Google is enabled on all screens.
However, when I say "OK Google, use Autovoice" Google consistantly comes back with "It looks like your AutoVoice account is not linked yet." How do I do this?
When I run AutoVoice Testing with my trigger words, they work. I have another 6.0 Android device where all this (Tasker, Autovoice, Google Now) works seamlessly.
Is there some other step required for S8 / Android 7.0 go get AutoVoice integrated with Google Now?

There is a difference between using the Google now voice search and using Google assistant. The running service is for Google now. The screenshot you posted is of Google assistant, in which you have to be apart of the Google + community for the app in order for it to work.
If you're just looking for basic usage, use Google now voicesearch and not Google assistant

Thank you very much! This is the first clue I've been handed to the source of my problem. You are right. On my px5 head unit, there are no settings for Google Assistant. On my S8, there are. However, I don't know why they are there, or how to disable Google Assistant without disabling OK Google. When I disable GA and speak "OK Google", it immediately asks me to turn GA back on to respond. Do you know how I can resolve this? Again, thanks!

Never mind. I found it: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/
Problem is, don't have root on Galaxy S8. Google REALLY needs to give us the option for something like this instead of forcing it down our throats whether we like it or not!!!

You should be able to do it with a shortcut. I use Nova launcher and just use the voice search shortcut and it uses Google now. Or if you have a Google search bar on your screen with the mic in it, that should default to Google voice search and not assistant

Whoa! You're right again! Pressing mic in Google search bar allows me to speak autovoice trigger I set up -- and it works! Mucho thanks!

No problem man. I use tasker, autovoice, and autoremote religiously haha. Too much home automation and laziness not to utilize them. You should look into the natural language it can now use. Takes a while to understand and set up, but after that, it's much better than regular recognize

I'm having fun, and pulling my hair out, just trying to get this going right now. At least twice this week I was in my car (head unit not installed yet) and really wanted to send time sensitive messages on my s8 using Google Voice. I don't text and drive, religiously. But being able to say "google voice text so-and-so" would have been quite useful.
One last, final question: I've been learning tasker/autovoice on a rooted px5. Just got this galaxy s8 and, of course, it's not rooted. Looks like I shell commands a lot in my profiles, particularly "input keyword" and "input text".
So, if I want to send %avcommnofilter as response to app, do you recommend autoinput for that?

FINALLY! This is how you link AutoVoice (or any 3rd party app) to Google Assistant: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/HwJUpkrHPr4/xIJACIlEAwAJ
So, you have to say "OK, Google, ask Autovoice to...." followed by your AutoVoice command. Still wish I could just say "OK, Google" then command, but this will do for now.
Hi all, how are you.
I wanted to setup Google Assistant's voice as a text-to-speech (TTS) system, it doesn't make sense to me that we have to stay stuck on a very outdated TTS voice when using other Apps. I'm not a developer so I'm hoping someone who is finds this thread and works on it. I believe it shouldn't be very hard, since the wanted code is already on Google App.
I think there are 3 possible ways of achieving this, by making a standalone TTS App (by stripping code from the Google App), by doing something with Tasker (though it's important that the screen could be off, I found ways with Tasker but the screen needs to be on), or by creating a Magisk Module.
Thanks in advance!!
The reason for this is because Google Assistant uses Cloud Services to synthesize the voice. So the default TTS is 100% percent offline so it can't be as good, not a question of being up-to-date or not
(+ The default is Android TTS not Google TTS meaning it's free and not Gapps-Exclusive)

Yes, though if someone could adapt the Google assistant App (or make something of sorts) to make that happen, sending the request to Google, as if I asked "Ok Google, Simon says....." for example.
I don't know if that's possible, but I know for sure I can't make something like it.

It''s called Google Cloud servics and it costs money. because then it would be using their services
Have You got any ideas, how to force phone to use GA commands, instead of google app voice commands? The only way to use it I know, is to say "open assistant" and then use final verb. But awakening twice every time?
Hey man
I installed automagic and configured a flow that launches google assistant when the google search application runs
The flow has some conditions, so that google assistant doesn't run when I'm manually searching in google
Unfortunately it is not perfect, because it doesn't automatically run google assistant with the screen off, you have to say the command "open assistant" to launch it, but if it works in any other situation
I'm looking for some way to modify the moto voice apk to change google now to google assistant by default, but I don't know enough about programming, so it's still a long way off
If you have any news about it, I would appreciate it if you let me know
