http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLAbwT521Fs
I can't wait to get my hands on Xperia.
And yes, i know this is not an Xperia only thing, but rather a Windows Mobile Software... but still!
Best regards.

about to try it.

tried it...works pretty well - it has settings to specifically announce stuff over bluetooth - will work a treat with my car I reckon.
Doesnt pick up my voice all that well though - mind you, i do have manflu at the mo.

Cool!
So tell me one thing, do you have to hit the button on the mobile each time to issue a command? Just wondering if it can sit dominant and not require you to hit a button first?

You need to press a button to attract its attention. This can be a button on a bluetooth headset, which is where the software really comes into its own.

Voice Command Xperia - Problem
Hi all VC working except that it does not read out the number/name on incoming calls. All the right boxes are ticked in the options as I have used MSVC for the past two years. Can anyone confirm this working or not on your Xperias. I have tried all the version for 6.1 roms. Thanks all.

I know this problem has been in existence for years (Tytn). See other threads for this problem on XDA, sorry, can't provide link at this time.

i tryed it but dint like.
I`m using vito voice2go and that works for me much better.
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/voice2go.html

Sorry to sound thick but I can't seem to find voice command anywhere on my xperia
Can anyone be so kind to tell me where it is in the menus, thanks

Ahhhhh that's what confused me! People saying that it was built in etc. No wonder I couldn't find it.
Well looks like I will purchase it later next week

VC 1.6
or go to tpb... where i got it... (im the dude in the video)

In t-mobile version in germany there is an other voice dialing system already installed. I forget the name but this must program must be trained therefore you have to speak a word or some words and associate this with a number/command.
This tool was already used on the tmobile ameo and for me it worked not very good. The recognition of named was not very good when many named has been trained.
The windows mobile voice command solution is much better and works fine on my x1 .
I saw the youtube video and was very surprised because I didn't know the features for music playing. Maybe I have to look for them. I have the german 1.6 version intalled.
best regards,
stefan

MS Voice Command 1.6

Has anyone tried to install MS Voice Command 1.6, does it work? Any recommendations?

I have installed it and it works VERY well. I was really surprised that as soon as I installed the CAB file I was able to say "Play..." then any artist or album in my music library - right out of the box. Voice recognition was incredibly accurate with no setup required (I.E. "Play - A Tribe Called Quest" consistently no probs )
HOWEVER I have actually uninstalled it recently as I was watching the task manager and noticing that the 'VoiceCommand.exe' process was consistently jumping between 1% and 12% with no action from me whatsoever. This is not much and might be tolerable for some people but for me it is an added drag!

this program has some bugs
it will delay the sip and it will mess up the ringtone
however you could change the regisitry to fix it
if you don't need it , better dont install it

for the ringtone bit i dont know hoe to fix the registry
for sip issue u can check out the wikipedia here. if you are not an advance user defintely not risk to edit your registry

I tried it, but, maybe coincidence, maybe not, I found my battery ran down quite quickly. This happened over 3 days, so i uninstalled it, and it has gone back to normal battery time.
Maybe it is something to do with what SamasQ mentions above. Maybe its just my phone.

Did the incoming calls announcement work as well?
For me it was the only thing that didn't work.
Voice dial, running programs, play music, announcing new messages and calendar events - all worked. But incoming caller names did not.
On my old HTC TyTN II all of the above worked.
So I'm wondering, was it just me or don't the incoming caller announcement work on X1?

Draqula, same here, all worked but incoming call announcements.
try going to some website (win-mo experts or something and look for bengaliath, he did some extensive post on this program. I haven't had time to look yet, but its worth a shot.)
BTW, which ROM you using, (UK international?)

I read the bengalih guide. It was originally posted here at xda forums and helped me a lot when setting up VoiceCommand on the HTC TyTN II.
Now it's available here: http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Unfortunately, there was no helpful info for me there.
I found and checked the following registry key...
Incoming Announcements are the function of the voicecmd.exe and the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce
"Script" = "as5p"
"Category" = "VoiceCommand1"
"Sound" = "Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav"
... and found that on my X1 there was an extra slash in the location of the wav, but fixing it didn't help.
Let me know if you find any new info.

I have successfully ported quite a bit of drivers from x1 and blackstone to raphael.. please try the blackstone wavedev.dll (it must be cooked into rom) - on raphael this updated driver fixes voice command announce problem

Voice Command 1.6 also disconnects the bluetooth headset after you give a voice command. You have to re-establish the bluetooth connection again each time.
I've already removed the Voice Command because of this.
Other than this problem, it works very well in the X1.

The small print below the sales pitch for voice commander states "Incoming caller ID announcements will be spoken via the phone speaker on Sony Ericsson Xperia X1s with a Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0. "
Any ideas how to find the build number?

I/ve tried in all combination, but coice command don't work with the callar id function. I purcased it, but now refund, don't work!

voice command 1.6 works fine on my X1 too except call announcement. I have tried all the recommended patches, but when I replace the files nothing happens or i get some crashes.
Has anyone tried this allready with success?
many thanks

I have read all these posts and see that most poeple have a problem with the voice caller ID being read out....
I too installed (though a previous version) v1.5 and everything works fine except for caller ID voice read out...
Another thing i found is that it would read email subject headings from my 2nd email account but not from my first email account....might just be coincidence...
Bit concerned now that I read about the 1%-12% fluctuations when you arent even using it....hmmm

Same problem, no caller ID name readout
Same problem, the callerID is not read out.
What version are you guys running of MS Voice Command? There are multiple versions of 1.6.xxxxxx.

I am trying to use it with my BT headset. That is speaking the name into my bt headset after pressing the button on it. Does that work or do I always have to use my phone for speaking my commands?
EDIT: never mind. I got it to work. By restarting the phone (so typical of Windows)

When i installed Voice Command on my Xperia... it errored out at the end of installation, but completed regardless. It is working perfectly in every aspect except announcing incoming calls. It is great when it announces messaes and e-mails so that i know whats coming in and from who...
It did announce an incoming call once or twice... but out of the blue.

Interesting. For me too, that's the only problem. Incoming announcements.
Somebody mentioned it disconnects BT HF and you have to reconnect manually - not true for my Jabra BT8040, it stays connected or automatically reconnects, anyway it works.
Especially useful when driving and getting new messages and next appointments announced by BT HF.

just a question that links indirectly to this thread:
is there a way to remap the button for voice command? somehow I wanted to invoke the voice command app via the earphones' button SE X1 has. so I don't have to grab my phone inside its pouch and unlock it and press either the 2 buttons I mapped em with.

Voice Dialer

It seems there is no voice dialer in the VF branded TP2.
Anywhere I can get a cab? Was so used to it in the TP & TyTn & TyTn II before it.
Thanks

me too my friend, I want to have it
ANyone can HELPPPP

hello!
I just installed the Cyberon Voice Dialer and it worked great!
If you want it, just go here:
Link removed...this is not free software

Yes it does!! Thanks!!

Wow! Thanks. It works.

Thanks Mrs D! Works awesomely well, although I wish there was a way for it to not repeat the voice tag after you have said it, but to just run the program/dial the contact straight away.

I'd like that also!
pretty annoying beeing somewhere and people listening...
anyway I assigned to Long_Send and works great!

Thanks, will download/try and feedback

It's works!
This works great. The voicedailer from the 'old' diamond touch pro.

MS Voice Command
Guys,
I just came across this. I tried the Cyberon version, but i don't like its accuracy and i cant assign a key to activate it.
Cyberon Voice Commander v2.5.1 build 709141 - thread Mod Edit - Warez link removed
Previous versions of MSVC did not work on my TP2, but this one does. The install automatically assigns itself to the press(Hold) of my dial button and replaces the CommManager button assignment. Like its predecessors, it works flawlessly for me.
Microsoft Voice Command v1.6.19214 - thread Mod Edit - Warez link removed
Have fun

Can you make a voice call over Bth (by pushing the voice call button on the bth headset, of course ! ) with this version ?

How do you get MS Voice Command to work? I downloaded /installed the cabs, i see the Voice Command icon on my phone, but I dont understand how it all works. Can someone explain to me how to get this rolling ? Thanks.

How do you get MS Voice Command to work......?
It is working well on my TP2.
Install and probably best to soft reset.
Once in, go to All Settings, the VC icon is in the Personal tab.
Set the options and Notifications to what you want.
Then go to Buttons (same tab) and make sure it is assigned to the Send Key.
Done...!
To use, press (and hold) the Send (L/H bottom key) till it makes a sound, then speak, a contact, number, app to open etc.
Works really well, especially announcing appointments.
One problem is that it conflicts with SRS WOW HD - no matter really as this audio app doesn't seem to work on the TP2 anyway - it makes your device not wake up from sleep, buggered if i know why (wish it worked!)
Hope this helps - party on!
Jabberoo

works fine - thx for this cool reference!

I love VC!! Thanks for the direction on it!! awesome to have on this phone.
ps, sometimes the lady catches me by surprise and comes outta nowhere to tell me something. kinda scary!

Sorry but the voice dialer (cyberon) dont work with my JAWBONE II

Does anyone have Cyberon or Voice Commander working with the button on their bluetooth headset? Cyberon worked fine with my headset on my TyTn II but won't work with either programme on my TP2. Is there a registry tweak required to make this functional?

It's a problem caused by the change in Bluetooth stack that HTC made with this phone, I've not seen a working fix yet, I suspect we'll see something once the cooked ROMs start appearing.

isnt voice command supposed to announce the incoming caller's name? mine does not.
and i have the jawbone II as well. shame it does not work with this.

Voice Dial Removed! WTF?

Why in Gods name do they remove Voice Dialing? Thats like removing sms availability. Anyway to install this back?

I agree voice dialing is a core function for all "Smart" phones, look how long iPhone users had to beg to get it, but at least they have it now. The irony is that HTC has had and included voice dialing in almost all there phones for two years or more now and this wonderful phone is missing it.
I for one really need it, not want, need it and did not realize it did not come included and from reading the forums there are no good compatible software packages that reliably work (for voice dialing over bluetooth devices).
I specifically need a.) voice dialing and b.) voice dialing over bluetooth support.
HTC has let a lot of users down here, there are a half a dozen posts in this forum already concerning the lack of voice and reliable voice dialing over bluetooth. I recommend you put in a support ticket to add this functionality to the phone, they could add it via a new ROM or software update if enough people request it!

Voice dialing
I seriously doubt that enough people will request this as most people would just get it themselves, and the one of their choice.

I disagree, on their flagship phone I believe they will listen to a flood of requests for this functionality. Even Apple does that much, HTC is a far more focused company and this would not be hard to support or add.
One other problem is that there are currently no products that run properly on the HD2 from 3rd parties, at least not that I have found. That includes Microsoft's Voice Commander, which is outdated for starters.
Put in a support request folks, let's get the ball rolling. I have already done so and the local rep did say he will bring it to the table during their next conference call.

Voice Dialing on HD2 works like a charm
guys - my HD2 works with Voice Dialing perfectly!
i am using the old Cyberon software
btw - i always replaced any other with this one as it is the best
the version is 1.2
it works like charm and never fails
the only problem i have is that i had to assign a shortcut to it as the keymapping is missing (HTS ?)
i mean the phone long press key assigning
in HD2 there is no available key - any one can help on this ?

Yes mate - this works with most shortcuts too!
With file explorer, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy the voice dialer shortcut. Go back a couple of levels to the \Windows folder and paste it there. Locate the shortcut (should be at the very bottom of the file list) and rename it to long_send
That shortcut gets executed when you hold the call send button, and like I said, you can do it with most shortcuts.
Works for me

HTC's response
QUOTE=PhoTonic;5094757]Why in Gods name do they remove Voice Dialing? Thats like removing sms availability. Anyway to install this back?[/QUOTE]
Yeah,
I logged a support call with them, here's their response:
"With regards to voice recognition software, microsoft havn't updated the core program for this as is only compatible with windows mobile 6.0, until this happens there is no voice recognition software."
Feaking ridiculous, How can you have a high end phone with no voicedial features. I know that users at xda will find a way around the lack of voice speed dial, however for HTC to have left it out of the official ROM is unacceptable!

thanks pals, i found another solution - a patch as a cab that enabled the long press. now only the BT activation is left out but found a version that claims to do it...
will check

Voice Speed Dialing - final all over working solution
ok - as promissed - this is a full working solution:
works with a long press call button
works with BT (!!!)
you can even backup and restore voice tags so no need to re-record if you format etc
fully tested and i am glad as this is the most critical app i use - phone and voice dialing as i spend lots of time in the car

It doesnt work for me with my bt-headset.
I cannot even record the voice with it. When I try to, the number is being called.

Thanks a lot for posting this cab. After installing it I added some voice tags but could not get the BT headset to activate the app. I then uninstalled Microsoft Voice Commander (which has never worked for me on the HD2) and did a soft reset. Voice tags had gone so recorded new ones. This app now works with my BT headset.

Cool, not being near my phone at the moment...I have some quick questions:
1. Does the long press to the call button have anything assigned to it by default already?
2. Can you still use voice activated dialing through a bluetooth headset without first running Cyberon or this app?
3. Do you have to install the Cyberon app to main memory or can you install it to your SD card instead to save overhead?
4. I see there are two versions of the Cyberon app, Voice Dialer and Voice Commander...It looks like you don't have to make voice tags for commander and it controls more than just calling contacts out of the box, while voice dialer simply creates a voice tag and dials that contact...Am I right? Have you guys used both of these, which do you prefer?
5. I just want to confirm, you can use a bluetooth headset and push the voice button and speak a voice tag and that will automatically activate and call that contact correct? This is what I need while in the car, not just picking up a call via a bluetooth device!
6. Zeevg...That second cab you uploaded, CVSD...What exactly is that? Is that just a newer version of Cyber that allows you to map a long key to voice dialing functionality or do I still need to install the first cab posted here, then install that one as well? It appears that this file is a better working copy to replace the original one uploaded here. If so does it automatically map the long key to the call button or do you assign it within the Cyber interface?
Thanks!

2. Can you still use voice activated dialing through a bluetooth headset without first running Cyberon or this app?
ZeevG> no. you must install this app first to enable voice dialing / long press / BT - no worries as you did not have anything else assigned to this button before. this can also launce apps not just dialing you can assign a voice tag to launce any app installed on your device
3. Do you have to install the Cyberon app to main memory or can you install it to your SD card instead to save overhead?

Howto map Play/Pause on original HTC Headset with VoiceCommand?

Hey guys,
setting up Microsoft Voice Command here at the moment.
Working great, if I press and hold the sendkey for a few secs.
But now I want to map the Play/Pause/Accept Call-Button on headset with voicecmd.exe .
I already tried AEButton Plus, but no luck actually =/
It would be so great, if I not even had to put out my phone to dial a contact or something.
Does anyone tried this already and can give me a hint?
Thanks in advance.

Well i dont know about MSVC but the play/pause - Answer key on my wired headset works fine to initiate calls with Cyberon voice commander with no special setting up. If you are referring to bluetooth headsets then as is stated in severasl threads on here they do not work correctly.

Thanks, but in my case I need exactly as I described it above. MSVC over wired original Headset.

Nobody EVER tried that? But it would be so nice and comfortable ..

I haven't really had a detailed look, but have a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476412
It was designed for the Touch HD, and a cursory glance suggests the Leo doesn't use the sddialer.exe app, but the same philosophy should apply. I'll try to update my apps for Leo, and no doubt the concept has already been improved elsewhere, but it should at least give you a pointer!
V

This worked for me - partially. Simply swopped the redial.exe with yours and added a shortcut on Voicecommand..
It works everytime, when the device is unlocked. When I put it to standby, it doesnt work immediately. But if I wait a few minutes, it works .. often. But not every time Dont know, whats the reason for this.
But its definitely a pointer, how it should work in future .. Thanks for that.

I'll try and look into it in more detail soon. I've only had the Leo for a day or so, and am still rom hacking, but will do some coding soon.
Should be easy enough to find the other executable it launches and replace that too.
V

Looking forward to your release Thanks in advance.
