Command Timer is simple countdown timer that uses pocketsphinx-android-demo's for offline voice recognition.
It can be used on events where people need a countdown timer and can not touch anything except what they are already touching. Example: food preparation and cooking.
In the event where app keeps on initializing even after pressing "start", restart the app and wait around 10 to 20 more seconds after the "start" button enables.
Video Tutorial on Youtube:
https://youtu.be/u5ORbM0IR-8
To use:
- wait for app to finish initializing.
- press "start" and test it before doing what you need to do that requires you to not touch anything else.
- say "hi timer" to start command recognition.
- wait for button to turn green before speaking.
List of commands:
- Hi Timer = starts command recognition.
- Start Timer = starts the countdown timer. Ignored if timer is running.
- Stop Timer = stops the countdown timer. Ignored if timer is not running.
- Reset Timer = reset the countdown timer. Ignored if timer is running.
- Check Timer = checks the status of the countdown timer and the time left.
- Add [0-99] Hours = adds hours. Ignored if timer is running.
- Add [0-99] Minutes = adds minutes. Ignored if timer is running.
- Add [0-99] Seconds = adds seconds. Ignored if timer is running.
- Stop Ringing = stops the alarm when countdown timer reaches 0.
Note:
- pocketsphinx needs both audio record and write external storage permissions to run.
- it might take at least 12 seconds or more(for slower phones) for the offline voice recognition to initialize, so some patience will be needed.
- it uses the US english acoustic model, therefore US english accent gives the best result for the voice recognition.
- best if used in quiet places.
- on some phones(usually the slower phones), it might take a few more seconds for voice recognition to start even after "start" is pressed.
- for best recognition, try your best to be clear and avoid long pauses when issuing commands. Also, place it close enough where it can hear you clearly.
- this app is not perfect and can crash or issue commands by itself when sounds are heard, therefore can not be reliable. So, please still pay attention to what you are doing. Example: Do not leave what you are cooking unattended, while relying on this app's countdown timer.
- limit is 99 hours, so if the total time after command is more than 99 hours then your command will be ignored.
- countdown timer will not run on background, if app is paused.
For me to use pocketsphinx-android-demo on this app:
