    Hello forum members.

    I've been a light user of Tasker for a while and decided to give AutoVoice a go.

    However, when I use the simple example test I'm seeing the "hi" and "hello" parts of the command being stripped as follows:

    Ok, Google
    Ask AutoVoice to "say hi"

    - Sure, here is AutoVoice
    - Command sent: say (blank)

    If however I use a more complex request;

    Ok, Google
    Ask AutoVoice to "say my name"

    - Sure, here is AutoVoice
    - Command sent: say my name

    Are hi and hello protected words (with Google assistant) or is there another problem ?

    Any thoughts on how I resolve this would be much appreciated as it may affect more complex tasks I design later on.

    Thanks all, Nic

    Unfortunately Google does remove those from some commands you're right :( Unfortunately I haven't found a way around that!

    Thanks for responding joaomgcd. Ok, then it's expected and that makes sense. Its just that your demo video clearly shows this working so the response I got was unexpected. Thanks for clarifying, I'll test some ideas and see what happens :).

    Yeah, Google made it stop working sometime in the past :( I was hoping that they would fix it sometime!
