The first thing you will want to do with a project like this, where you want synchronicity, is set up some form of cloud which will form the backbone for all of your responses and replies. I use Dropbox because it seems to be integratable into most operating systems.

To do this simply go to dropbox.com and click sign up, then add your information

The next thing you will need to do is download their software (https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index), install it and then sign in. seeing as you found my site, you probably have a good understanding of the basic windows functions and so are able to do this with ease.

Creating the folders needed for this project are also very easy. Go to your newly created Dropbox folder (for me this is C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\Dropbox\) and either create a new folder, or just use the “Public” folder (which is what I have done).

Inside this folder add another folder with the name of your assistant. Making mine:

C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\Dropbox\Public\L.U.C.A.S

And add 2 further folders.

• Statements – this folder will contain our speak scripts, and anything that we want our TTS to say.
• System – this will contain the information about our phone which we can then send to voxcommando. For example “your phone battery is at 40%”

To set up dropbox on android, you will need a application called dropsync, which synchronises your dropbox folders with local folders, to get this go to:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dropsync

*I recommend buying the pro version, as this allows you to sync multiple folders and has smart detection.

Once the app is downloaded, open it and press settings.

Turn on autosync and change the settings according to your specifications. Also enable smart change detection if you have bought the pro version.

Then you will want to tell the app what to sync. So go to “synced folders”, then "add synced folders."

Scroll down to the tasker folder and click that, then add a new folder, and name it whatever your assistant is going to be called (for example, mine is L.U.C.A.S). go into this newly created folder and click select in the bottom right.

Then go into the folder you made earlier (for me this is /Public/L.U.C.A.S) and again click select.

Finally set the sync method to “two-way”.

below is my setting, which yours should look pretty similar to:
