Hey Eric, hope you are keeping safe, and well. I know this is a rather old post, however, I hit a snag and hope you can throw some light on it if poss. If I do not respond to Get Voice, the task would failed and Google Voice just hang there. Is there a parameter/code around it?
There's a newer option in Get Voice to "Hide Dialog" - that seems to try to get your voice without showing the Google Voice Input Pop-Up, so if it fails, it isn't stuck there. However, I don't clearly see a way to continue with the task if there are other things you want to execute if /when that happens. I'm sure there is a way, but I just don't see it right now. I don't use Tasker for voice stuff much anymore, but when I was, I eventually started using the AutoVoice Plugin which is a significant improvement over the built in GetVoice function. Hope that helps.
Great Lessons. Is it possible to toggle your caller ID on and off to hide your number on some out going calls. Basically what I want to do is hide my number from the customers I call and and allow my colleagues and family to see my number. Automating this task based on a list or other method would be a bonus. Just to clarifies, I'm in the service industry and giving your number to customers results in calls at all times of the day and night.
I don't see a way to toggle blocking your number on certain calls in Tasker. You could try asking in the Google Groups in case I'm missing it somehow, but I don't think it's possible. There are apps in the play store that allow a toggle button to make it easier to toggle it before placing a call though.
Hey Eric, thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, lots of people seems to be resorting to AutoVoice. I am trying to avoid having so many background apps, but like you said, Get VOice is limited. Keep well, and stay safe.
