Version 0.964

[jitterjames]

This version supports the beta of VoxWav 2.0.

At the moment VoxWav 2.0 is available only on demand to VoxWav Pro users.  Let me know if you want to test it.

What's with the extremely slow speeds today on this site? I'm barely getting 10 kb/s trying to download this. Couldn't download after 3 tries. 
Will keep at it.

[jitterjames]

dunno, S$!T happens.

Here's a link to the file on my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/92qubb9rc5v89ip/VC%20Setup%200964.exe

Much better    Got it at 400 kb/s 

Now to test it!

[jitterjames]

I am excited / nervous to hear the results  

[ajith]

Well, here they are:

My First test results on the Galaxy S2:

Worked 8 out of 10 times. Twice it gave an error popup saying, "An unexpected exception occured when transfering the audio data to VoxCommando   null"
Also, don't know if it was my imagination, but the "Start recording" button felt a bit sluggish. Earlier, it used to get "pressed" the instant I touched it. Now there is a perceptible delay (over 0.5 sec, perhaps) before it says "recording".

It is quite fast, like you said, when it works.

Let me know if you need any more information to fix these issues.

Will test on the Tab 10.1 and report soon.

Curious.  Let me know about the tablet.

I wonder what kind of WIFI setup / speed you have?  When you finish speaking does VC respond quickly?  This part in particular should be significantly faster, especially for longer commands.

You could also try ignoring the "visual on" and just start speaking immediately and let me know if it still works reliably.  I'm going to have some work to do to figure out the null error

which two times?  First two?  Or just randomly.  See if you can detect any kind of pattern please.

Tested an equal amount of time on the Tab.
No issues so far, except, maybe that button delay I was talking about.
The delay on the Tab doesn't seem to be as pronounced as on the S2, I think.

>> I wonder what kind of WIFI setup / speed you have? 
WiFi is from a Cisco Linksys E4200  N-Router.

>> When you finish speaking does VC respond quickly?
Yes, it ddoes respond quickly

>>  This part in particular should be significantly faster, especially for longer commands.
Yes, it is indeed faster as I said earlier.

>> You could also try ignoring the "visual on" and just start speaking immediately and let me know if it still works reliably.
Will try that now.

>> which two times?  First two?  Or just randomly.  See if you can detect any kind of pattern please.
The first 2 commands actually worked. It failed the first time on the 3rd command. Then again after a few successful commands.

Will watch for any pattern and report.

>> >> You could also try ignoring the "visual on" and just start speaking immediately and let me know if it still works reliably.

Did that. It seems to work reliably most of the time, even if I start speaking commands ignoring the visual ON. I'm sorry about the uncertainty there - I am not really 100% sure of this since on a couple of occasions, for a couple of short commands, I thought it didn't recognize it because I started too early.


Also, I do not see a pattern to the null exception. It is seemingly random.

Another thing I noticed is that I can do a quick tap on the "Press and hold to speak" button and make it stick in the "ON" position. It remains in that state till I touch the button again. It gave the null error when it came out of this induced "ON" state on a couple of occasions. Again, I am unable to see a pattern here.

Note: I never did the "tap" test on the previous samba versions!


EDIT: Tested a bit more on the Tab, specifically the "tap" test. I can make the button stick here too, but try as I may, I couldn't reproduce the null exception on it even once.

All of the above on the S2 of course. Will try the same on the Tab.

[jitterjames]

OK.  Thanks for the feedback so far.  Let me try to get a new test out to you today before you get too carried away testing this one.

How long do I  have, if I want to get feedback from you today?

>> How long do I  have, if I want to get feedback from you today?

It is 9:50 pm IST now. Given that tomorrow is a weekend (yay  ), I can be up till 2:00 am, that means I can provide feedback for another 4 hours.
