I understand your point. The problem is that the system does not allow me to open apps and always redirects me to an unrelated application. I have already tried displaying the SpeechRecognizer result in a Label, and the voice command is correctly recognized. However, when I try to match the result with the package name of the app, it does not work properly.

I have also tested other apps, but the issue persists. Could you provide more details on how to correctly retrieve the package name and use it properly in LaunchApp via TaifunPackageManager?

Thanks for your guidance!

I saw the.aia but there is a problem at the moment the system does not recognize the capital and that is why it does not open the application I am talking about, for example Google. How can it be fixed

22

Taifun just told you! With the upcase and down case blocks you can change capital! Make sure you put the input in down case!

23

what about using the upcase or downcase block as suggested earlier?

Thank you for your patience and help with this project! Thank you very much taifun!

25

Sorry taifun. But I want you to help me with something because I've put in other voice commands and they don't work because the application takes them for applications and in order for it to be able to distinguish it, I would like to say "open..... (App Name)". Can you help me?

26

Use an if statement

If result starts with open
Then open the app
Else do something else

To find out, if the result starts with open, use the split at spaces block to split the result, then select the first item from the list, which is the first word and check if it is the word open

Where should I put them? Can you send a screenshot of how it should look?

28

obviously in the AfterGettingText event
first check, if the result starts with the word "open", if yes continue with the current logic
else do something else

please do the tutorials to learn some basics

Sorry if I acted like this, I tried a little and it doesn't work, can you tell me what's wrong?
Here are the blocks I changed.

P.S. άνοιξε = open

34

This works if the text

Screenshot_20250312_064826_DuckDuckGo

is contained in the result returned by the speech recognizer

What is displayed in the notifier?

EDIT: now obviously you have to remove that text from the result to find the corresponding package name

If you follow the suggestion

Then you can select the third item from the list as app name. It is the third item because the word open is 2 words in your language

  1. "Άνοιξε" catches it for application
  2. I don't know how to connect them.
  3. I can't understand your instructions, it's not your fault I've tried many things. My errors:
    1. Sometimes it says something about false when I use "select list item list index "
    2. Other times nothing happens
    3. Other times your open catches it for application.
      What should I do?

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.
