Has anybody got it? + If so...does it work well and what are your comments?
Here's more info http://microsoft.handango.com/Platf...30&productType=2&platformId=2&productId=90635
Thanks - Sunny.
Not bad for launching apps etc.. and controlling media player.
A nice bit of software to show off to your mates, as the phone tells you the track title, artist playing etc..
Pretty useless for dialling though I found.. because its made for USA it can't really recognise the way we prenounce names properly (UK) hence everytime I ask it to dial "Dad" it says "Call Fonz?" (someone who is in my phonebook)
And don't even attempt to use it to actually dial numbers you read out!! You'll end up ringing somewhere in australia or something

I agreee, nice toy, but you will not be using it often.
My thoughts exactly!
Hm, mates, I tend to have a different opinion. While it's a version 1 product I didn't expect it to be too erfect yet. But my experience is positive:
Yep, nice toy to show off is right :lol:
I regulary use it in the car to initiate calls. I have about 1,800 contacts and would never be able to find a contact with at least one hand on the steering wheel without this program. That's what I was looking for and that's what I got...
Hello, as it costs peanuts I was bored at work yesterday therefore purchased it online. I think it's absolutely fantastic! Only problem is that you have to emulate an American accent for it to recognise your contact names but considering it isn't released in the UK yet I can live with that.
Thanks - Sunny.
Tried it also, but not really convinced. Takes too much in memory and suffers from severe bugs. It's ok for fun but it's quicker to do everything without!!!
I cannot get it to recognise anything in the car, which with the new rules is where I need it most
MS Voice Command
Hi,
I’m using Voice Command on my new XDA II; it has proved very useful for controlling Media Player but as we have yet to see the euphemistic entitled ‘International English’ or other language versions, you cannot as yet directly voice-dial numbers which are prefixed by ‘0’ or '00' (that eliminates most telephone numbers outside the North America). Nor can you directly dial any numbers using the GSM prefix ‘+’ tag (which totally eliminates direct voice-dialling international numbers). However, whatever number(s) and format are stored within a previously stored contact and matched by Voice Command, they will be passed correctly to Pocket PC’s dialler.
The real downer is the lack of an appropriate XDA II Profile which would allow Voice Command to be used via a Bluetooth headset – let’s hope HTC will rectify and enhance the available Bluetooth Profiles in the forthcoming ROM update. As an aside, it was recently reported that The Bluetooth Consortium (or whatever) have finally agreed the spec for the Stereo Headset Bluetooth profile – perhaps that wishing for too much from HTC and the forthcoming ROM update.
Provided you have enabled the XDA's automatic 'Microphone Gain' (otherwise you will rapidly become bad-tempered and scream at your XDA), and despite the aforementioned foibles including the annoying requirement to pronounce ‘mobile’ as ‘mobil’ (and need for the use of other North American phonetics), Voice Command is impressively reliable and usually makes the right match with your stored contacts and media files.
MS are to be congratulated; voice response has come a long way since the usable IBM freebee app given away on early IPAQs!
And no, I don’t work for Microsoft!
I live in Australia and, as with many others who have posted, was unable to purchase Voice Command.
Except for not being able to 'dial by number' this product really seems very good.
I don't suppose anyone knows a way that we could extend the trial version, until an international version hits the shelves.
uninstall/reinstall seem to always work
I have gotten the Voice Command to work pretty well. I did have to play around with the various types of commands to find out, which commands worked better with my voice. For instance if I say call John Doe on "mobile", I do not have very much success, but if I say the command " on cell phone", in lieu of mobile it works about 90% of the time. It also works better if I delay the confirmation "yes", and it works better if I make the confirmation longer, like "yes that is correct".
The program works well in my car and for some reason some days or contacts work better than others. I love the product because it does afford me true hands free dialing of contacts. For a first release I think it is pretty good, but of course needs improvement.
I believe voice applications are definitely the future for PPC devices, and that in the future we will see more and more progress in this arena.
Gee thats too bad. :lol: Personally, I find it works quite well on my XDA2. But then again, my American accent helps. If you consider that living in the UK, there is a different accent like every 20 miles, you might then realize how much of headache this must be for MS's devs to try and deliver a product that can deal with that. Think about it. Maybe a UK software company will come out with a better voice command alternative? naaah... (but it would be nice, the more we have to choose from the better!) I'll tell you what does help though as I believe was previously mentioned: You do need to make sure that you have the AGC enabled, however I've notice that when I do a softy, that I have to re-enable it. Also try and keep the thing about 18 inches away form your mouth. At the moment, my XDA is next to me and I can reach over, tap the voice notes button which has now been assigned to MS Voice and then say "play whatever song" and it will do it 9 times out of 10. Voice dialing works about the same, 9 out of 10, but it does seem to have trouble understanding the way I say "correct" to confirm. Best of luck!
I like this review though
Fantastic Voice Training Software
Steve Monaghan from Sydney, Australia, January 22, 2004
Having used the software for over a month, I have been able to achieve at least 10% voice recognition in perfectly quiet environments. I have been able to contact so many friends and colleagues I have not spoken to for ages as the program intuitively translates my request to dial my best friend into any number of contacts available in my outlook. I give the product 5 stars for enabling me to call people I hadn't even thought to call. "Wow, I haven't heard from you in ages." The joy you can bring in surprising someone while surprising yourself at the same time. While the product doesn't support useful features such as bluetooth or pronounciation correction, if you can adapt your speech to the pronounciation of the electronic voice, you can achieve terrific results. I can now speak with an accent that has my friends in awe as I attempt to get the software to dial the intended contact. This program has bought enjoyment to many. Don't hesitate, buy it today. Renew old friendships and share the fun with your friends and family
I love Voice Command too. It's great for dialing and opening programs. I have little problem with it opening programs like calendar, notes, contacts, various games.
I disenabled the confirmation while dialing, because it doesn't always recognize my "yes" or "correct". (and I'm from the US) The caveat is that when I ask it to dial from a contact, sometimes it's not the right one, and starts to dial it, and I have to hang up real quickly, hoping it didn't actually start ringing. This is mostly due to me not remembering how a contact is listed, so it's really me, not the program. But my most dialed contacts work great. I even have my voice mail listed in contacts, entered in with a pause and my password so that it dials my voice mail and password automatically. It's great!
Really great program ! ...i silently hope that they will come with an update for different languages...
can't find a trial version...
where can i download the trial version of Microsoft Voice Command? Can someone pls attach the trial version or send it to my e-mail account? my email account is [email protected]. Thanks.
trial version of Microsoft Voice Command
Can anyone tell me where I can download the trial version of Microsoft Voice Command? Can someone please attach the trial version or send it to my e-mail account? [email protected]
Thanks a million.
Voice control program
I heard from a PDA outlet in Melbourne that there was an Australian version of Microsoft Voice for PDA. It is not badged by Microsoft but someone else - does anyone know any more about it or where I could download it from?
Instead of Voice Command, I am using NeuVoice - you have to train it for your own voice, but at least that way you can speak naturally.
You can use it to dial numbers, start applications, run commands or open files.
It won't work in noisy environments.
Hello all!
Some older mobile phones have the following function:
You press an number and a sharp - e.g. 55# - and the relevant SIM number is selected. The same applies for Prophet (I know this is the wizard forum but I suppose more people have wizard than prophet and the issue is OS related).
Now I was wondering whether there is a way (OS or third party soft) to do the same with the numbers in the phone book. It is much easier to remember a three digit number for certain contacts than to type the whole name (my phonepad does not support Greek names).
Don't tell me about speed dial - I would like something that would allow me to handle more than 10 numbers..
Thank you in adavnce!
Does your Wizard not have the Smart Dialer? With it, you can just start typing the phone #, and it'll pop up a list of matching contact phone numbers from which you can pick. Not quite the same, I know, but close enough?
Otherwise... can't say I've spotted anything that does what you mentioned
Hi all.
I was wondering if it is possible to develop an sms application whereby as well as all the usual info you type in eg recipient name, number, message etc, you could have a way to control and set the outgoing 'from' number as well.
This would be handy where some of us are forced to carry two phones around with separate contacts on each.
maybe its not possible but id love to have something like that to simplify life instead of spending multiple messages explaining why id like the reply to a different phone number. ( and no we are not allowed to transfer contacts )
Thanks Guys.
AndyG
Sorry, the from field is not set on the device itself, but set by the network, to do that you would have to do it on the service provider side.
...the only options you can set at the application layer are the ones available through the SmsSendMessage API:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa455068.aspx
To achieve something like this is not possible at application level..what you'll need is to get into a much larger sphere of sim spoofing, which can be carried out, I think, (as I'm a BTS s/w guy,i.e., network software developer) in following two ways:
1. Cloning/spoofing the sim itself using another sim(can be done and is done a lot I think)
2. Hacking into the GSM\Radio image that is loaded into our devices and then hacking the messages exchanged between network and mobile, but this is not possible since we dont have the source code for the radio image
Anyways, if any of these methods are possible, then not just the sms, but ur complete phone functionality will be replicated, i.e., basically u will have two phones with the same number which kinda defeats the purpose of having two phones
I spent a couple hours sorting through blog posts, downloads, cabs, blah blah blah... with the goal of getting my forsaken Treo Pro (WM6) to use VOIP through my office's SIP/Asterisk setup.
To save you all some headaches, here's the distilled version of what I found to be the best combination of software and quick hints for install:
I started with this blog post, to give credit..
http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/05/voip-sip-client-for-windows-mobile-6.html
But I used different software... so I've included a zip with the package of all the stuff I installed to make the damn thing work.
1) Install all of these:
- voipdrivers.cab
- custelvoip.cab (works better than MajikVOIP.cab)
- sipconfig.cab (originally named SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB)
- audioroute.cab (from http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware)
I've also included setupvoip.cab .. which is a fancier SIP setup tool, and may work better than sipconfig... but I used sipconfig originally, so that's what I'm writing up here.
2) Restart your phone
3) Run sipconfig ... enter all of your sip configuration details, and also use the menu option to enable VOIP over 3G if you desire it.
4)Now go start -> settings -> personal -> Phone. Choose ther Internet Calling tab. Set the option for "whenever available".
5)On the main/Today screen you will see a phone icon with description VOIP ( you entered name of provider VOIP in (step 4). It'll show you the status of whether or not it has registered with SIP. A Hint, you might need to trick the phone into connecting to 3G first... e.g. by browsing the web... otherwise WM6 at least doesn't seem to auto-connect to 3G for SIP.
6) After connecting using 3G or wifi, You will see the status displayed as VOIP: Available.
7) You can now make calls as normal, or receive calls in.. and everything is routed through VOIP.
8) You'll notice that many WM phones will route the audio through the rear speaker (annoying) .. which is why you installed audio router from teksoft... it adds a little icon on your top system tray to let you change between earpiece and rear speaker for audio. There's a bunch of audio switchers out there. This is the best one by a mile. And it actually works.
Cheers,
Andrew Eross
Thanks for your effort. Similar tool is already posted as Schap - Setup voip Tool -

Thank you!!!
I've looked around for a guide as clear as yours. You've the best guide all around... Thank you a bunch...
Thanks for your great job. I new on Windows Mobile so I need a lot this kind of help.
I download and followed your installation procedure on a HTC 3G+, T3238 (chinese version of the HTC 3G, manufacturer HTY Taiwan)
Works well, Hope others also will be successfull
By the way, is there an also simple way to sending DTMF tones for remote control of my answering machine? When I try to send numeric keys after the call is connected it looks like I start a new connection with numbers actually for remote control of my answering machine.
Hi, I'm also in the club that has browsed hundreds of post looking for a setup of VOIP and also looking for a solution on good incoming sound level when using Voip on phone. Your files solved all my problems!
Phone: HTC HD2 Norwegian with Rom 1.66. Use the Norwegian company www.iplink.no for VOIP at home / office and (now) on my mobile phone.
Made my own ipdialplan.xml which can be found attached to this post.
Done some testing calling people through Voip: after approx 1 minute the connection falls down. I looks like I'm still connected to the other part (interface shows that a call is going on) but none of us can hear the other part. I then have to cancel the call in the phone interface. Make new call to same person, after approc minute the connection goes down again...
Is there some kind of registry setting that controls this "timeout"?
Hi, this tools does work also on windows mobile 6.5?
I know that on the HTC Fuze some of the wmvoip.cab installs breaks the GPS - anyone test this yet?
THanks!
does this work on hd2
I've done everything you said, but I can't find the option to show internet calling is available. I have Kumar 1.5 installed, and am about to try another ROM (maybe Laurentis, the SIP drivers are cooked in). What are you running?

Best Voip All in one solution. Try This
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596682
I tried last night to no avail. I am guessing that using a WM6.5.x ROM stops me, because I can't access the right settings (start-settings-personal-home or phone) because my settings button takes me straight to the black screen of text version. I even tried to go to a 6.5 ROM (cooked with VOIP drivers in), and even then I couldn't get the VOIP phone icon to appear on the today screen. Every time I selected it from the Internet tab in the setting, it would just ignore my changes.
I would love to get this working with a nice cooked 6.5.x ROM, and am not giving up yet, but man is this frustrating. As a side note, I am learning lots about the workings of WM.

thanks for the reply. i have also installed i was able to receive incoming call but unable to make outgoing call. are you able to make outgoing call?
Okay, I feel like an idiot, but I figured out how to enable the internet calling tab on my HD2. I am still apparently learning lots about WM6.5. After I disabled Sense, I could add tabs to the today screen. I did everything right, but the voip tab just either says searching or not active. And it somehow disabled my data connection. Not sure anymore, almost through trying ROMs. Is everyone else running this on a stock ROM, or are there certain features that interfere with this?
VOIP almost working
I've implemented Internet Dialing and have SIP configured my my provider and I am able to receive calls. But, I notice that when I dial out a "9" is put in front of the number I'm dialing making it impossible to dial a number correctly. How can I change this?

You need to edit your ipdialplan.xml. It's in your windows directory. Basically it is set up by default to dial a 9 and in area code 425... If you look at it you should see where to edit it... There's also a utility knocking about here to set up a basic one for other countries...
Can't svae ipdialplan changes
I can open Total Commander find the file and make the changes to ipdialplan.xml by taking the "9" out of the 10 digit plan and the 7 digit plan, but I can't save the changes. I get "Error, could not create file" every time.
It's either open or write protected. Edit on the PC. Copy it over with a different extension. Rename the original, and then rename the new one to the right name.....
I have this very strange problem.
I have tried to install all this, but it works only partially.
Outgoing calls work and the receiving party can hear me. However, I don't hear them. Also, on incoming calls my phone doesn't respond at all.
Does anyone have any idea what is the problem?
I'm having a Topaz @ WM65.
hi Android Community,
i am just about to reorganize my phonebook, i have used different methods of saving numbers to my phonebook e.g. for germany 004996122222 for person xyz, 0049 stands for country code 961 stands for area code and 22222 stands for the landline, usually Android displays incoming calls like this area code "space" and landline number, it also displays the city where the area code belongs too e.g. waidhaus which is near my hometown.
i still have misc problems the way android formats these numbers. still no problems calling contacts, but one issue was when i type the phone number manually android only suggests me the phone number of one specific person i have in my phonebook either i type in this persons phone number or another persons phone number (manually!!) this is way of wrong.
it displays me this persons name either it is this persons number or any other. i have had this bug years ago with my first htc desire still preserving; it started when beginning saving phone numbers the lol way e.g. 004996122222 where it was not necessary to save it this way unless you are in holidays abroad
due to different formatting of phone numbers from persons around the globe because of the int code &the different way of handling of the leading zero according the country you call to i still have issues, i know there is a way you can edit phone nr in google contacts (gmail) so that it can be updated with next sync. but that did not helped me, still issues from what i have written above
is there a app available that removes this bug of only displaying this one persons contact either i type in his number or anyone else, i think it is because of googles data collection rage and/or my sold htc desirewhich may have had a bug in htc sense and the availability of updates for this device (now i have sgs3 and cm whatever version i dont know and have no issues atm)
or maybe it was because of my mistake setting the phone number the proper way, i think there is no wrong in setting the phone number the way +1NewYorkCityAreaCodeBureauofPersonXYZ but i did probably made a mistake in doing this way making it difficult to reorganize my phonebook.
the problem with this has nothing to do with outgoing calls as there are no problems when typing 004996122222 it always works well (destination germany either i am in germany or abroad), but when a incoming call comes from a saved contact i suggest that it would properly display the orign of the call (only as it is with landline numbers either it is within a country or abroad but no mobile numbers as there are limitations to this),
i wonder if anybody can tell me if there is a builtin library in Android that handles this task i would appreciate your answers to this topic even if i could have written a book on this topic,
wishing you can be indulgent too on my write rage even if it could be explained a smarter way, if you have questions feel free to ask.
