MS Voice Command vs Fonix VoiceDial vs Vito VoiceDialer

Hi!
Anyone has tried the above voicedial programs? Which is the best in terms of name recognition accuracy?
Lets talk about the LATEST version, MSVC v1.5 vs Fonix VoiceDial v2.0 Vito VoiceDialer v3.5, ok?
Thanks

You should also include Cyberon Voice Commander. Its a great program since you train it to recognize your own voice along with your unique accents or intonations. And it also opens programs.

I would definately reccomend staying AWAY from MSVC v1.5..
I purchased retail CD and install on my device. While the software itself seems to work as advertised- I have problems with MS Voice Command DISABLING other features on my device:
I have made multiple calls to Microsoft Tech Support- and they acknowladge my problems are due to the voice command software- but have no fix available...
Specifically, If I have MSVC installed on my device, My bluetooth radio CANNOT turn on, due to a bug/software glitch in MSVC.
I have tried the FONIX software free trial and worked freat- AND my bluetooth radio was not affected!!
Microsoft refuses to refund my defective software and of course the retail store will not accept open software for refund...
So do to Microsoft Software Bug, I am out nearly $50.00 US.
Good luck 2 all!!

babj615,
MSVC v1.5 has no problem working on my O2 XDA II and has no conflict with any of my programs so far.
On the contrary, Fonix's name recognition is worse than MSVC. Also, you've to shout rather loud into the mic for Fonix to recognize a name. I say you should stay from Fonix instead.

Microsoft voice command 1.5 works
Good experience with MS Voice Command so far.
No problems interfering with other apps; pretty good voice recognition.
Only one problem VC does not seem to work when some other apps are opened.

It's fine for me - so long as you turn on AGC in the settings... else it can't hear you (bless it).

VC vs. Cyberon vs. plain old tags

I had cooked my DCD 3.2.6 ROM with the MS Voice Commander... which I like a lot. However, it seems to suck up RAM - at least 2MB I think.
I was wondering what others are using? VC or the Cyberon VC, or just sticking with plain old voice tags? I haven't played with the Cyberon VC so I don't know much about it... How much memory does it use?
I am seriously considering just going back to the original voice tags like I had before I flashed from my stock ROM. Thoughts? What do y'all do out there? Has anyone else thought that VC takes a goodly amount of RAM?

I use MS Voice. It does use a good amount of ram but the trade off is worth it. Read up on it. PM me if you would like to TEST it and decide if you like it... I like it best because I do not have to train or create tags.

Parcau: I already use VC, and do like it, but again I think the memory usage is just too high to justify the benefits from it. That is why I was wondering if the Cyberon VC was any better; if not, I just may have to go back to voice tags for the time being.
The XV6800 is nice, but I would have re-thought my purchase if I knew it was going to have such little memory available. Too bad no one can add more memory to it.

well, just to chime in, I personally use Cyberon's VC, and I find it works pretty good, at least for me...

Isn't Cyberon VC the same as the phone came with, that requires voice tags?
Does the OEM/Cab version floating around have any additional features over and above what the version that comes on the phone has?
I live MSVC, but the memory gets to me sometimes too, but I haven't even used my BT headset in 2 weeks so really haven't been using it. I may try without it, or go back to Cyberon, but I refuse to prerecord voice tags....

There's the Cyberon one that comes with the phone, and there's one called Cyberon Voice Commander, which is similar to MSVC, with digit dialing, etc.

Voice Tags

Hi, as a newbie on the forum and recently taking delivery of the X1, can somebody please tell me how you set up voice tags on this phone. On my Touch Pro, you could dial your contacts voice commands, but I cannot find this feature on the X1. Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

You need an app to do it. Microsoft Voice Command and Vito VoiceDialler are popular. There's also Vito Voice Control.
Microsoft Voice Command doesn't need any training which I think is a big plus in its favour, and it's quite cheap. It should of course be built into the OS.

Thanks for the quick response. As you say, its a pity it wasn't included.

According to Sony Ericsson X1 support site voice control is included but I cannot find any refernce to it on the phone

Vlingo for diamond!

Anyone ported this yet its soooo badly needed =[ cant believe ipod 3gs and blackberries both have this functionality but diamond doesn't!! anyone know of an app that can do this?

as you can see on the website http://www.vlingo.com/ there is a beta test for win mobile

if you looked closely would see is for only selected windows mobiles, not for diamond, does not allow install ^^

I'm just wondering whats the difference between vlingo and other voice to action software that is already available for WinMo?
Such as:
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
Microsoft Voice Command

because they are both basic and dull for instance windows voice command can do the odd task taking you to some application or opening up your contacts but vlingo is allot more intelligent.. so you could say "text david, hello i will be there soon" and it will write a text saying that to david... its awesome =]

Probably the difference is that Vlingo is more shiny like everything for iPhone.

Long_send with MS voice commander?

I have MS voice commander from my old phone so have installed it on my hd2 and most of the functions work. Searching around i hoped i might be able to "launch" it by creating a shortcut to the voicecmd.exe and then renaming it long_send in the windows directory.
Sadly this doesnt do anything. I tried a soft reset and even tried calling it long_send.ink and another soft reset but each time i hold the make call button nothing happens.
Am i missing something? Is there another way to assign the hardware buttons on the hd2?

It's long_send.lnk with an L for link - not ink.

Thanks, DOH! Works a treat now.

Can you explain how you get the Microsoft Voice Commander working on the LEO/HD2?

Pretty easy, by installing it using the CAB file you can find on here.
Just do a Google search for "XDA HD2 voice command" but I recommend Cyberon Voice Commander which you can also find here on XDA.

The reason i went for MS voice commander is that i had the cab from my last install and like the extra features not just voice dialing.
Does cyberon support music / calander / silent switching etc?

Hmm, not sure if it has all of those since I don't use it much. If you get Cyberon Voice Commander it will have more than just voice dialing, because Cyberon also make something that's just for making calls.
It does have music capability, which I don't use because I don't like WMP.
Edit: Here's a screenshot of the program, showing you what you can say.

I hear you about WMP. If only i could get MS voice commander to use core player!

Yeah, it would be great and I've searched high and low for a fix but there doesn't seem to be one. If only there was a simple reg hack...
It's funny, voice command was a big deal on WM maybe over 5 years ago, and then it seems the developers just gave up on it. But now that the iPhone has it and Android is adding it maybe some new voice programs will pop up for WM.
