Music Commands

PLAY SONG {SONG NAME}
PLAY SONG NUMBER {NUM}

SHOW SONG {SONG NAME}
SHOW SONG NUMBER {NUM}

Plays or shows a particular song by the currently selected artist.

{SONG NAME}

The name of a song in your music library by the most recently selected musical artist or band. For example, to listen to Beautiful Day by U2, you first select the artist with PLAY ARTIST U2 and then select the song, PLAY SONG BEAUTIFUL DAY.

If the song title is long, you can say only part of the song name and Amulet will find the best match.

{NUM}

When the song panel is displayed on the Amulet music page, each song listed has a number. You can select a song simply by saying the number of the song you want to choose, as an alternative to using its name.

If the song window isn’t visible, just say SHOW SONGS to open it.

EXAMPLES

PLAY SONG SOMETHING SO STRONG
PLAY SONG NUMBER 6

PLAY SOMETHING ELSE
PLAY ANOTHER SONG

Begins playing a randomly selected song by the currently selected artist. Use this when you are tired of the current song and want to quickly choose something else.

SHOW SOMETHING ELSE
SHOW ANOTHER SONG

Selects a song in the song window at random by the currently selected artist.

Settings

It can be difficult to hear Amulet talking if there is loud music or a movie soundtrack playing at the same time. To avoid this, Amulet automatically lowers the volume of music and video when it talks. These settings let you fine tune this behavior.

Adjust Volume While Talking

Amulet usually lowers the volume on music or video when speaking to you. If this setting is turned off, Amulet won’t adjust the audio volume in this way.

Default: On

Normal Music Volume

The volume level to use for music when Amulet is quiet

Default: 100%

Music Volume While Talking

The volume level to use when Amulet is talking.

Default: 30%

Normal Video Volume

The volume level to use for video when Amulet is quiet.

Default: 100%

Video Volume While Talking

The volume level to use for video when Amulet is talking.

Default: 30%

Settings

These settings all relate to how Amulet recognizes spoken commands.

Speaker’s Profile

Shows the currently active speech profile. You can cycle through all available speech profiles here.

Default: Default Speech Profile

Spoken Command Prefix

If you find Amulet is constantly interpreting background noise as valid commands, you can configure a special command word to be used at the start of every spoken command. This helps to reduce false matches, though is usually not needed.

Default: empty (no command prefix)

Learn Speaker’s Voice

As you use Amulet, it gradually adjusts its recognition to better match the sound of your voice. This usually works well, but if you are using Amulet in a crowded venue, where many different speakers will be trying it out, you may wish to turn learning off.

Default: On

Show Speech Commands

Controls whether speech commands are shown on the Amulet screens as they are recognized. If you prefer not to have commands displayed, turn this option off.

Default: On

Spoken Commands Confidence Level

Amulet assigns a confidence level from 30%‐100% for each recognized command. The confidence level is shown above the microphone meter in the lower left corner of the screen when you are viewing Amulet pages. If the confidence level is below the value set here, then Amulet will ignore the command rather than risk misinterpreting it.

Default: 70%

Music Commands Confidence Level

Music artists, albums and song names can be more esoteric than normal spoken English, so Amulet uses a separate confidence level when determining whether a PLAY ARTIST, PLAY ALBUM or PLAY SONG command is valid.

Default: 60%

Profile Commands Confidence Level

When you use the command THIS IS {PROFILE NAME} to switch to a different profile, your own preferred profile is not yet active. Amulet uses a more relaxed confidence level for this command to improve the chance of successfully recognizing it even when speakers have very different voices.

Default: 30%
