Description

This app is powered by Snowboy (https://snowboy.kitt.ai/) Hotword detection.

This free version has ads, if you don't want ads and want to support development, please look here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.jolanrensen.hotwordPlugin

Ever wanted to reuse that old android phone you've got lying around as an always listening mic and let it trigger a Tasker task? Or wanted to shout something else to your phone than the same old "OK Google"?

Well then this is the plugin for you!
This app does need Tasker to work! (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm, this is a paid app with a 7 days free trial)

Visit https://snowboy.kitt.ai/ (NOTE Chrome doesn't work, Firefox does), train and download the voice models you like (preferably on the device where you will run this plugin). Then you can add them in the plugin and the fun can start!
Yes you can listen for as many hotwords at a time as you like and trigger a different task for each one.
NOTE that when the listening service is running, the mic will be blocked from other app. This ensures the best performance and speed, however if you want to use the mic in another app, you can simply disable and enable it from the notification (Oreo notification channels supported) or enable the setting that does this for you.
You can also control the state of the listening mode from within a task if you like, use the quick toggle, or quickly stop or start it using app shortcuts on your home screen.

To give you a taste of what's possible I already give you a few hotwords to play with, but since they are not trained to your phone's mic it's much advisable to train and download your own.

What makes this plugin so special is that it is powered by Snowboy. They built a C++ toolkit that is light-weight, offline, super fast and they included a website with a database where you can access a lot of hotwords that are already trained!
Since it's already compiled natively it only works for devices having an armv7a or armv8-aarch64 chip (I'm sorry for you guys having Intel chips).

To give you an idea of what you can do with it: I have an Nvidia SHIELD androidTV that has Google Assistant but no always listening support. So, I grabbed an old android phone, installed my plugin and whenever I say "Hey Google" it sends an adb command (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADBPlugin) that starts Assistant!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 โ˜…Best experience this app is working ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ best app ever bruhhh
5 โ˜…This is safe hotword.
5 โ˜…its really amazing
1 โ˜…Hard to use
5 โ˜…Nice app
2 โ˜…The claims don't match the results. It beeps every time it hears a sound.I've tried changing both the sensitivity and gain. Also installed Tasker,but I have no idea how to make the two apps interact, and it's notautomatic. Edit: I understood that it's not a Standalone app. I installedTasker, but there was no instructions on how to make the two apps interact.I'll change my rating if you create a list of instructions on how to makeit work with Tasker.
4 โ˜…Good concept and design, allows me to set custom hotwords for assistants.Only gripe is that it sometimes crashes and stops responding after havingit active for a while, ranging from 20 minutes to a few hours.
1 โ˜…App simply does not work. It never recognized the hotword no matter how many times said. App may have issues with constantly listening.
1 โ˜…Can't see any hotwords nor add one. Edit: Lol. I know man. In the mean timeI run a different rom, still nothing to see but an empty field when I clickdownload or +. Very strange. Edit 2: I don't use battery savings mode. Ihave a great phone. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Edit 3: I don't use the plugin anymore, so can'ttest.
4 โ˜…So i think that this is a great and amazing app but what excactly is the idea of it.
3 โ˜…It's a good effort, and using it with tasker is very easy. But it's hard to keep it listening, even after adjusting the sensitivity. And the voice commands find always work. Not sure if that's a problem with snowboy or tasker or the app.
5 โ˜…Great App
