About this app
Project Athena is MoKee OpenSource’s unique take on improving the usability and artificial intelligence of our ROM through voice recognition technology, providing a touchless experience while controlling your device. Although the voice recognition technology has already been around for quite some time, however it is still not well integrated in Android ROMs. We have seen a lot of applications with voice recognition functionality, but the outstanding ones are Google Now Launcher and Moto Voice, both with the ability to wake the device by “talking” to it. Therefore, we decided to model our project according to these 2 successful examples. The project will be consisting of 2 parts, the first which is the framework (fully open sourced), and the second which is a proprietary application (Voice Assist).
And now, MoKee OpenSource is proud to extend this support to all Android 5.0 ROMs (system level commands will only work on MoKee OpenSource's ROMs)! With time, more improvements will be rolling out!
Things to take note:
1. Since system-level framework modifications are required, the application is best used with MoKee OpenSource's ROMs.
2. All devices running Android 5.0 and above are supported.
3. The application currently supports Chinese and English commands. To use Chinese, your locale must be in Simplified/Traditional Chinese as well; all other languages will have to use English.
4. We are using a third party service for the voice recognition, therefore we have to make it partially closed sourced (application is closed sourced, system-level framework is open sourced).
5. Although the application is closed sourced, however developers are welcomed to expand on the open sourced framework. Working in this manner can help to curb people such as moonlight-roms from infringing copyright.
6. We will be releasing updates from time to time, with more functionality and commands supported. The beta application will expire from time to time, but don't worry cause we will extend it along with updates.
7. The current version has to depend on internet connection to work, offline recognition requires a very high fee, so unfortunately we as a non-profit organization cannot afford it.
8. Based on user feedback, we might launch a “pro” version of the application which supports offline recognition (the income from the purchases will be used to fund the offline recognition fee).
9. The current version is released for open beta.
10. Please list the application in the whitelist of your task manager if you are using one.
11. Your device will not enter deep sleep if the application’s service is running in the background (that is what makes “wake on voice over” possible). We are constantly trying our best to reduce power consumption.
12. If used on other ROMs other than MoKee OpenSource, the only functions supported are as below:
- Wake device with voice
