control kindle fire by voice

I figured out how to control your kindle fire by voice. Check out my blog: kindlefireboss.blogspot.com
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM SITE:
Yeah, you read right. Control your kindle fire by voice. All you need is Google Voice Search . Just install Voice Search and start controlling your kindle fire by voice. NOTE: This requires an external mic. I used the apple ear phone and mic included with the iPhone but any will work. Download link below Link: http://www.4shared.com/android/Oq2GWqd7/1319770780.html

I just want to add that I hear that it has to be a three banded microphone (the plug has 3 bands) usually a combo headset type thing. if i remember correctly. in other words not all mics will work

I don't think it can work.
Because Kindle fire have no microphone.
Wait for the second generation Kindle fire, or other product.
Amazon is not a device manufacture.

I have a Apple mic and earphone I use with my kindle. It works perfect. You can get one from amazon or an Apple retail store.

It work
It is working fine with voice recognition apps, but skype still not recognized microphone

noooooo
I tried it With a mic that i made with a transistor,but it didnt work

Skype cant detect the mic for some reason. I have tried too, but it just cant tell its plugged in.

Did the mic you made work well with other devices?

Doesn't recognize my mic either =\

Did you try with a diff mic?

You need to be rooted to install Google Voice Search, right?

It works even without rooting.

I was the person on this forum who first used a Mic with the Fire. I remeber trying to install Voice Search, and it not installing bc I wasn't rooted. Am I remebering incorrectly?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA

I just tried it again, and now I remember - Google Voice Search force closes when I open it. I went through this several months ago, when I found that a mic works on the Fire for audio recordings. As far as I know, so far no one has been successful in using Google Voice or Skype on the Fire for phone calls.
You're the first person I'm hearing who says that they got Voice Search to work. I'm not rooted, and as I said, Voice search crashes when I open it. Up to now, I haven't rooted because I haven't found any additional functionality that rooting the Fire gives you that I would like to have. This might make me change my mind.
Anyone else try it?

The damnedest thing happened: I got up this morning and noticed that the 1mobile app store I have installed showed that there was an update available for Google Voice Search. Just for the hell of it, I installed it and now the voice search works! This is great! Now I have to see how I can install a keyboard with a voice-to-text button (I'm not rooted, remember. I'd like to stay that way if I can).
Meanwhile, for those of you wondering about which microphones to use, you can do this - either use on of these "button" style mics:

Great that voice search finally works for you, but I would like to point out that the apple headset that you have linked is a knock off. Here are the genuine headsets

Google Voice difficulty understanding me

Ever since I got my S7 Edge replacement from the Note 7, Google Voice is being troublesome. I can't get it to recognize my voice correctly, well sometimes. For example if I ask it to list "nearest restaurants near me" it will search for "Near Me" like if it didn't understand my first two words. Or other times It says "if you said something, I didn't understand you". I tried uninstalling and\or cleaning cache from Google apps, but doesn't fix the problem. Can this be a software problem or the phone Mic being defective?

Are you saying "Ok google, nearest restaurants near me" or "Ok google..." *Wait for prompt* "nearest restaurants near me"?
I don't know if the wait would help, I know that I wait until I hear it make the noise before I continue to say anything. Give that a shot and see if it helps.
You can test out your microphone but I don't see a need to if you use the phone to talk to others and they don't have any problem hearing you.
What launcher are you using? I use Google now myself and I don't need the pause but am just used to waiting in case it didn't hear me when I say the command.
Also try going into Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Phone Assistance App and see if you have Google App as the chosen app. Not sure if that would help but it's worth a shot.

I am definitely waiting until it gives the tone and then speak right after. I just noticed that the delay is on the Google app and not when using voice typing on the Samsung keyboard which brings up Google Voices well.

I am having a similar Issue on my S7 Edge. The "Ok Google" prompt works just fine but then the mic cannot hear me at all. If I am on a Bluetooth device it works just fine and all other voice apps including the Google Assistant in Allo work fine. I have done a factory reset, I have disabled S-Voice and all other apps that use voice work just fine. I am at a loss at this point.

Make sure the Google App has permission to access your microphone. I would assume it does if the hotword detection works but still worth a shot.

I found a workaround that seems to work better on detection....
Have the phone at a distance and the top mic underneath your mouth level. Seems to give me less false positives this way, I have no idea why. Hope this helps.

What I did was uninstall the update for voice recognition and re download it. Helped immediately.

Sure, go into setting, then language and input. From there click on google voice typing then click offline recognition and u should be able to uninstall then reinstall the software for it. Hope that helps.

Google Assistant

Has anyone received the Google Assistant update yet? It was suppose to role out yesterday. Just wondering since the default for this phone is Moto assistant if we will get it or not.
Love the Nougat update

I installed the "Play Services Info" app by weberdo and used it to download Google Play Services version 10.2.99 (440-148249840) from APK Mirror. After a couple of reboots and disabling Moto Voice, Google Assistant became active. I had to touch the microphone icon, and after a couple of tries, it went into "configure" mode and learned my voice. Now working fine.

Didn't work for me. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Interestingly, for me, even while running on play services 10.2.98, I had all the assistant settings in the google app, and even paired it with my smartthings account, but alas, voice search is still going to the old style search. Updated to 10.2.99 and still seeing the same behavior. I didn't even know we were getting assistant, and was quite excited when I saw the settings, so when it didn't work, of course I got unreasonably upset. oh well

Alright, I let it sit for a couple hours, and it's working now. Though, still can't launch it from the microphone button in the google app or the google search bars on the home screens. That still launches the old voice search. Have to long touch the home button or use the "ok google" launch phrase. It's a shame it can't use the always-on mic from moto voice though.

I'm seeing some similar things. Google Assistant came down to my phone automatically. Set up the OK Google voice command. Seems to work fine when launching from the mic button on the assistant, but will not respond to always on mic when the phone is idle.
You do have to disable Moto Voice, or change the voice phrase to something other than OK Google. Phone still responds to Moto Voice command on idle, but not OK Google.

Yea, so unless there's a software update for Moto Voice, we're likely not going to get the always-on mic to work with assistant. There's a dedicated processor on the SoC that handles the always-on mic, and it's tied directly to Moto Voice. Moto voice really doesn't do a whole lot other than listen for the launch phrase. Everything after that point is basically handed off to Google Voice search. It really should be quite a easy fix (pass the requests onto assistant instead of voice search), but I doubt that will happen.

I woke up this morning and I finally got the assistant. just an FYI

I got it too. However, while it unlocks the phone when locked and the screen being on, it will not wake the phone when saying ok google. You hear the sound prompt that it heard you, but nothing ever follows up and the screen stays black

Autovoice and Google Now - It looks like your AutoVoice account is not yet linked

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

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.

Google Assistant?

Has anyone managed to get Assistant to work? I'm in the UK. I read on one of the OnePlus community forums that you need to change device language to English (USA), which I've done. Still no Assisstant. Anyone managed to get it to work/have any ideas?

It is only google now, not google assistant

I needed to clear all data after changing language to English (USA). But I've got it working now.

I got Google Assistant working by following the instructions from the YouTube video in this thread's post #4. All was fine for a while and then GA no longer worked sometime after I applied one of the OTA's. I can't say that was the cause but the timing was coincidental. GA seemed to react but not fully engage. I tried a lot of things including re-training the "OK Google" but nothing worked.
Finally I followed the part of post #4's cache clearing of Google and Google services apps cache (remember there is more than one cache) and then went through the Google Assistant set up as if it had never been working. That fixed my issues and has been working ever since. I'll see if the same problems arise after the next OTA. So I'd trying clearing the cache of those two apps EXACTLY as shown in the video.
Edit: I've applied OTA for v4.5.5 and have not had any Google Assistant issue

You have to clear the data cache for play services as well.

For those that got Google Assistant working are you having any issues such as those described below?
Trusted voice which enables Google Assistant from the lock screen does not work despite the proper settings in place
Creating a Google Assistant shortcut not works
IFTTT doesn't seem to work as advertised (I'm still working on this one)
I've had no end of small issues trying to customize Google Assistant but the main built in functions (e.g. weather, search, Spotify commands, open app) work perfectly.
Just curious about other people's experience. It leaves me feeling Google Assistant is just a beta program/work-in-progress on a phone or a tease to get you to buy a Google Home despite always having a much more capable device in the palm of your hand (your phone). I don't want an ugly Google Home "air freshener" when I already have an Android SD835/8GB phone.

When you say Google Assistant... Do you mean ok Google from screen off?

Google Assistant works with the screen off as long as the OP5 is NOT locked. Working while locked is supposed to work only when Trusted Voice is turned on. Unfortunately I have turned on trusted voice but Google Assistant will not initiate (work) when the OP5 is locked.
OK Google has a different interactive screen than Google Assistant. The OP5 OOS comes with OK Google but you need to manually activate Google Assistant before experiencing its advanced AI features. You would also see new Google Assistant specific settings at the top of the Google app->Settings->Google Assistant->(Settings, What can you do?).
One of the early posts in this thread has the link to manually activate Google Assistant.

Yeah, I have Google Assistant but I am pretty let down by the fact it doesn't work with the screen off and locked. I have heard it's a license that has to be paid to googs

Mine worked with no fuss. What doesn't work is the trusted voice and waking the phone up when the screen is off. That one I can't figure out

I've found a hacky workaround for this issue by using a combination of apps. First off I only use this method when I'm connected to the charger which is no different than the Trusted Voice limitations. Second my lock screen is only enabled when I'm not on a charger.
Use the Caffeine app to block the automatic lock screen. Check settings "Autoactive on USB", "Autoactive on USB type/AC charger", "Enable caffeine at boot".
Buy and install the app Screen Off (No Lock). I couldn't find a free app that turned off the screen but did not also lock it.
Then use the Google Assistant command "OK Google open screen off" to invoke turning the screen off but still having Google Assistant listening for my next command. I also use Tasker and it's Voice Assist plugin connection to Google Assistant so added the "start Screen off" as the last task in my Voice Assist profiles.

For the most part Google Assistant works for me but important features either lack reliability or don't work at all.
Google Assistant macros don't work at all despite built in GA commands working (e.g. play on Spotify)
I can't seem to make a IFTTT connection work
The connection between GA and Tasker's VoiceAssist is unreliable. Too often GA intercepts a regular Tasker Event phrase and displays a google search screen but the Tasker event for the phrase does not trigger. This despite the Tasker VoiceAssist toast displaying the correct event phrase. I'll try it a second time and this time it'll work despite GA recognizing the exact same phrase (not a variation).
I've been able to create some cool home theater (Harmony Hub) automation profiles but the unreliability has me wondering if I'm wasting my time. I really like the whole Google Assistant and the Tasker extension but am not prepared to continue developing things unless I can increase the overall stability.
It may just be my OP5 which is running OOS 4.5.5, rooted with SuperSU with Viper4Android installed. Other than that I've not altered the stock OOS experience. I've not even removed any bloat ware.
Does anyone have the Google Assistant macros and/or IFTTT working on their OnePlus 5?

I've previously posted that Google Assistant's macros didn't work for me but I received an update to the Google app v7.7.14.21.arm64 (Beta) and Google Assistant's macros are suddenly working. Even macros I'd previous entered but had never worked. I also added new ones and they also worked.
What stopped working was Tasker receiving the OK Google spoken commands, (no VoiceAssist toasts). I need to explore further as the newly functioning macros may be a far better way to integrate with Tasker. I'll likely retry the recommended Google Assistant/IFTTT/Tasker integration which also didn't work prior to this latest update.

It's working perfectly
Just did as it was said on the video. Everything works perfectly, including the "OK Google" detection while the screen is off. No problems whatsoever.
To Note: Even i changed the language back to English(UK) after all was setup, and works like a charm. :good:
