Smart Headset Assistant - Phone Remote Control
User comments:
"Great app - makes my cheap headset so functional. With this app it's now super easy to use the headset to perform preset tasks."
This app allows you to setup a personal voice menu and navigate through it with the buttons of your Bluetooth or wired headset (headphone / earpiece / motorbike helmet / car stereo / earbuds).
Use this app for example to play music, or make a call to a contact without touching your smartphone, only by pressing the buttons of your headset.
Perfectly suited to use while commuting by public transport, driving, riding a bike or a motorcycle, doing sports like jogging, during a workout in the gym, ... (You are responsible for your own safety during the usage of this app!)
Currently supported tasks are:
- Say the time using text-to-speech (TTS).
- Read active notifications using TTS (language detection supported for Android 7 and newer).
- Start a media player (music, audio-books, YouTube, @Voice aloud reader (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperionics.avar), podcast, ...).
- Start a voice assistant (e.g. Google Assistant).
- Execute a Tasker task (requires the app Tasker).
- Call a contact.
For multilingual users: You can set up several TTS languages and listen to notifications in multiple languages!

The key to something from the voice list is my power on/off button, it always turns my headset off, there is no way to change this, so it's pretty useless. Also trying to launch the assistant within the app exits the app and render it useless....again.
It reliably does the basic thing of redialing to the voice command menu, but the options are too complicated for beginning users. It won't even let me auto-enable when I connect a BT headset. Lately, the app no longer functions without immediate fiddling.
Double tap to activate the app was working at first. Now double tap only dials the last phone number. What Is the cause is there a setting that could fix this?
Once upon a time this app had a different logo and many many more function. Like remap Bluetooth devices buttons
Absolutely trash! Can't get past the watch our video screen! Useless trash!!!!!!
I'm looking for an app which triggers in a Bluetooth single key press event.. However this app works in volume keys in Bluetooth headset
Did not Invoke with a 2 second button hold. Moto x4 and Focuspower ear bud.
It works with Apple Air pods now i can click single command to start Google Assistant
extraordinary. works grt with my chinese bluetooth device for car!!!
can't remap headset double press to Play Next
The only app that works with my Bluetooth buttons.
Good idea, but not stable
Still it is redialing on double click center button.
can not select the option from personal menu
I using this app. And many thanks for this developers
it's difficult to use
Does not correspond to the description
Not really what I was looking for
Love it
It did nothing...
Free version sticks you with a permanent notification. Buh bye, uninstalled
Allows you to use google assistant instead of bixby! Great for headset users
I loved the idea of this app hence purchased the full version with the hope that now I can use 'ok google' while riding. But this isn't working for me on my Oneplus 5 connected with my bluetooth headset. I understand that there could be some issue hence I wrote to developer with a hope to find a solution. But sadly there was no response from developers. So, if you are using Oneplus then be informed that this app will not work with bluetooth headset. If creator of this app is reading this then please provide a solution so that I can also use this awesome app.
Highly recommended Ppl who want to use Google Assistant on lock screen must download it. Working flawlessly for Calling & Texting on WhatsApp and SMS Hatsoff Developer.. Thanks for this life saving app
Every head should have an assistant !
It's super cool and easy.
Great app - makes my cheap headset so functional. My no-name Bluetooth motorcycle helmet headset could only redial the last number called. With this app (which "hijacks" the redial function) combined with Tasker, it's now super easy to use the headset to perform preset tasks (initiating calls or sending pre-formatted texts to specific people, start an app, etc.) or launch Google Assistant to do one-off tasks (e.g. call a number). Having a list of preset tasks available versus trying to get Google Assistant to correctly understand my command while riding my motorcycle is huge.
I don't get it. It doesn't run in the background like VLC or other music apps do so when your phone goes off it will lose the focus of the app the moment you do anything with it and stop responding until you open the app again. It also doesn't capture the forwards or back buttons nor double tapping the play/pause button. Basically all that it can do is launch something like Google Assistant one time while the phone is off. Not very useful. I could make an app better than this.
