— Getting started

Your first search

Four steps from opening the app to a title typed on the TV.

2 Pick your player

Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi as the player.

1 Same Wi-Fi

3 Open the search box

4 Speak

Open Speakremote and pick your player from the list. On iPhone, allow Local Network access when asked.

On the TV, open the app you want to search in and press OK on its search box so the keyboard opens.

Tap the mic and say a title. It is typed when you stop speaking.

Questions and answers

The words go nowhere or nothing is typed

Check that the phone isn't on a guest network or mobile data, and that the player is on. On iPhone, Settings › Speakremote › Local Network must be on. You can also enter the player's IP address by hand on the "No Zidoo found" screen; you find it on the player under its network settings. If the router gives the player a new address, the app looks for it again by itself.

The app doesn't find my player

The mic button in Nuvio does nothing

Sending subtitles to Nuvio

The text goes into whatever field is focused on the TV. Open the app's search on the TV and press OK on the search box first, so its keyboard is showing. Or, in the Apps tab, use ⋯ › Set up voice search for Nuvio or Stremio: the app then opens the search for you.

Install Speakremote Bridge on the player (see below), open it once and allow the microphone. Then keep Speakremote open on your phone and press the mic in Nuvio: the phone starts listening. The bridge shows its recent activity if something goes wrong.

It needs Speakremote Bridge on the player and a one-time setup: in the app, Settings › Set up Nuvio. Then use the Subtitles button on the Voice tab while a movie plays, or save a subtitle for later. You can also share a downloaded .srt or .zip file to Speakremote.

Connecting Trakt

Wake-on-LAN must be enabled in the player's settings, and it usually needs the player on a network cable rather than Wi-Fi. Some players can only be woken from standby, not when fully switched off.

Wake-on-LAN doesn't work

"Hey Siri" and "Hey Google"

Which players work?

In Settings › Trakt, tap Connect Trakt, open the address shown on any device, and enter the code. Your "To watch" list and your Trakt watchlist then stay in sync. Disconnect any time in the same place.

Say "Hey Siri, search in Speakremote", then the title. On Android, with "Listen when the app opens" on, "Hey Google, open Speakremote" goes straight to the mic. Widgets, the Quick Settings tile and Control Center buttons are listed in the app's Settings.

Speakremote was developed and tested with a Zidoo Z3000 Pro. Other Zidoo models that offer the control API on port 9529 should work. Nuvio and Stremio's own players can't report what is playing, so "Now playing" only shows the player's built-in video player.

— Speakremote Bridge

Installing the bridge on your player

The bridge lets the mic button in Nuvio and other TV apps start listening on your phone, and carries subtitles from your phone to Nuvio.

1. On the player, open a downloader app with the address of the Speakremote page, or copy the APK to a USB stick and open it with the file manager.

2. Allow that app to install unknown apps, then install.

3. Open Speakremote Bridge once and select Allow microphone. It needs this to act as the player's voice input, though it records nothing.

4. If it says other speech engines are installed, uninstall them.

5. Open Speakremote on the phone, keep it on screen, press the mic in Nuvio with the remote and speak.

Updating from "Zidoo Voice Bridge"?

COMING SOON

Uninstall the old app first, then install Speakremote Bridge, then run Settings › Set up Nuvio again in the Speakremote app.

The bridge download will be on the Speakremote page when the apps are released.
