    Hello everyone. I've seen on various posts and forums that some people (including me) could not get AutoVoice running when the smartphone screen was off.

    I finally managed to solve the problem and here is what I did. (The manipulations may be slightly different from one smartphone to another).

    I have a Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus.
    In the Android settings. In "Installed applications", "Autovoice", I activated "Auto start", in "Other permissions", I activated "Display on lock screen".

    Hoping it will help you.

    Hello.
    I sent you screenshots.
    I take this opportunity to report a small problem of translation (but the problem may be from Alexa).
    In French, for activation (Turn On), I say: "Active". It works. And for the deactivation (Turn Off), I say: "Désactive". But it does not work ! I have to say "Arrête" or "Eteint". It's not very logical. It should say "Désactive".
    And if I say "Turn On" or "Turn Off", it does not work at all (whereas that's what is indicated in your application).
    Many French people may not be able to use without translation.

    I found how to say "Désactive"!
    I use Alexa's routines :)

    Hello.
    Is it possible to add capabilities to AutoVoice (in addition to Turn On, Set Volume, ...) or is it an Alexa limit?

    Is it possible to send an information to Alexa?
    For example, a sentence like "The action has been done".
    Or Autovoice can only receive and not send?

    Thanks
