Make your BT Headset work with MS Voice Command!

I'm a new member here - found this place last night... But, I have been frustrated using my BT Headset with my phone (a Cingular (HTC Wizard) 8125) - when I try to use it, it defaults to using the built in Voice Dialer software. This of course meant that I had to program all the commands into the phone so it would recognize my voice. Well, after looking through the forums here, I realized that a registry hack would probably fix the problem, and so I went searching...
Anyway, I'm sure that you are all interested in the trials and tribulations I've been having with my phone, but to make this shorter - I found the hack to make voice command work with any BT Headset.
Here it is:
Using Total Commander, navigate to the Registry, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand. Change the value in the PATH to \Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe (the original is \Windows\sddialer.exe).
Now, when you push the button on your BT headset, Voice Command will activate instead of the Voice Dialer.
P.S: I don't know why it has "VoiceCommand" under the OEM Software section like that.
(ADDENDUM: Seems that this info is out there on the web too - just couldn't find it myself - anyway, it's the same info I just posted here... Someone beat me to it and I just had to "find" it the hard way)

Good info -- and definitely worth doing. Works beautifully. As you noted, it IS out there too -- mentioned in various spots here, and on HowardForums.com.
Good reference too is to search for "Darryl Burling" -- a MS employee now I believe -- former MS MVP and software developer. He's got a freely downloadable CAB called "VoiceEnable" that handles this nicely.
Also - while you're at it: good to remove "sddaemon" from your startup folder - no longer any need for it!

works on BA also?
this is for MS voice commander 1.5? my unit info is below, would it work same way?
going to talke a look at darryl's site too.
lastly, is darryl's cab same MS VC or very similar?
thanks all helpful info

Daryl's cab file
I have tried and tried to register for his site so I can download the cab file. After 5 tries I gave up. Can someone post the cab file.

Voice Command over a Bluetooth Headset - No go after hack
newbie here!
I am trying to get my BT Headset button to activate Voice Command and am failing.
I have completed the registry hack described here:
Using Total Command I found \\registry\HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand (Default Value: \Windows\SDDialer.exe) and modified the value to \Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe This is the default location when Voice Command is installed to the main memory.
I waited a while, performed a soft reset, and I can not get the button on the headset to function (i.e. activate Voice Command). I use a Plantronics 510 and have the Cingular 8125 with the Stock ROM on it. I also have a couple of applications on the device loaded (Total Commander, Battery Pack Pro and an employers IM client)
I did try to download and run the CAB for Voice Enable (This is the hack I found on the forum). However this CAB did not seem to do anything obvious. Nor did it help with activating Voice Command.
Can anyone offer me some thoughts on this? I appreciate the help VERY much.

This hack may work on others devices, but you cannot find this path in the treo 700w to make voice command work over bt. Voice command is installed by default when you buy the device. Has anyone been able to to find the reg. entry on a treo 700w for the vc dialing hack to dial over bt (SDDialer path), or does anyone know of a reg editor that will let you search the reg. on wm5?
Thank You.

not familiar with your unit but do you have your headset working properly? completely? i don't know if this will help you but try finding the latest BT stack. also, if you are running wm5, i believe you are using a MS BT stack. don't quote me on that. but my reading has led me to believe that MS stack is not the best. your buttons are BT profile based. look for AVRCP profile. i'm no expert but these are things i had to update for my stereo BT headset (pulsar)
good luck,
woody

Head set and Voice Dialer
Hi Guys,
I have looked at the thread above, but have not been able to find the registry setting in OEM...
Instead it is in a microsoft directory (\\\registry\hklm\software\Microsoft\voice Command\
Do you know where I need to change the parameter?
All I would like to do is to control voice commander via the Bluetooth unit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Voice Commander Reg Hack now Plays music Through Bluetooth

I used the following directions to use MS Voice Commander instead of the SDDialer.exe. Now the voice commander doesnt work but I can hear all my phones audio through my Bluetooth. I think I like it and am going to keep it like that.
Copy BTAGExtModule.dll to windows folder of pocket pc
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
Edit "BTAGExtModule from "BTAGExt.dll" to BTAGExtModule.dll"
If these are not already there:
Add new dword name it "LaunchAPEnable" data should be 1
Ok now under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\
If it is not already there create a new Key named "VoiceCommand"
Under VoiceCommand
Create new Dword Named "VoiceCmdEnable" data value 0
Create new Dword Named "LaunchAPEnable" data value 1
Create new String Value Named "Path" with string "\Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe"
Now soft reset.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS..CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME..I JUST BOUGHT THE MDA..TRYING TO MSKE IT LOOK GOOD

...he meant: by accident he found a way to keep audio connect to Bluetooth headphone to be used b.e. as handsfree/wireless mediaplayerreceiver.
I myself use Vjvolubilis, with many thanks to VIJAY555.

HOW DO I DO THIS

lord, you did that the hard way.
Change the sddialer.exe value to the voice command executable value.
Press the bt headset button.
You're done.
All audio gets routed over the headset now. 8)

Don't mean to switch gears on you but looks like you solved this one. While using my bluetooth headset (cables unlimited BTH-A6a1) when i push the "MFB" once it lauches the Voice speed dial program on my 8125. I have MS voice command installed, is there a way to switch it so the MS VC launches instead?

I can't make it working on my MDA pro with Qtek 9000 rom. Any idea?

Bluetooth dialling using headset and MS Voice Command 1.6

folks,
I have an Orange M700 stock ROM, Motorola BT headset and Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 installed.
Has anyone managed to get the button on the BT headset to activate Voice Command? I can use the headset in calls but not initiate Voice Command.
This used to work just fine with my Prophet.
I tried unbinding the Voice Dial key on the handset, hoping that might help but no.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I should add that I have search hi and lo and cannot find a similar case for the Trinity.
I'm not interested in messing with BT settings- just want try and configure VC 1.6 to work!

I had the same problem activating the speed dial from BT headset after flashing mUn Rom. but after a lot of hard search, I managed to find the solution in registry:
1. Go to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
2. Change the string value called "BTAGExtModule" from "OEMAGW.dll" to "BTAGExt.dll".
3. SoftReset.
It work with Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, but I have not tried it with MS Voice Command.....
Good luck.

thanks shayd,
I'll take a look and see if it works!
If it does I'll be buying you a drink ;-)

so I opened up the setup.xml file for VC 1.6 and found that the equivalent file for VC 1.6 :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
BTAGExtModule =vcbthag.dll
So maybe if I change the vcbthag.dll to BTAGExt.dll it may work- but I need to confirm BTAGExt.dll exists....
I suspect this file might be part of the cyberon install.

ah got it working with another solution- my BT button now opens VC- I'm not convinced it's using the headphone mic to listen to commands though.
These keys did the trick- though I manually edited using a reg editor.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:00000001
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:00000000
"Path"="\\Program Files\\Voice Command\\voicecmd.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"Capability"=dword:00000025
"BTAGExtModule"="BTAGExtModule.dll"
"SupportCLI"=dword:00000000
Basically I had to Create new the String Value Named "Path" with string "\Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe" and change HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
BTAGExtModule =vcbthag.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll
thaks for your help shayd!

I am using an O2 Blue headset, and it operates voice command flawlessly.
The problem I have is that it does not replay the MS voice command voice through the headset, but via the trinity speaker. I have adjusted the settings, but it does not change.
Does the MS voice come through your headsets?

Htc hd2 voice command

Colin C.
HTC HD2 voice command not installed
Well guys and dolls for three days I have tried to solve the problem
and this is what I came up with………………..
……………………………………………………………………….
Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no built in voice dialing capability tools included with the HD2?
I would like to be able to (with the last 2 HTC Smartphones) be able to voice dial a contact over a bluetooth headset or car unit....
Any recommendations, or is this feature hidden somewhere that I simply have to activate? If there is an app I can get, preferrably free, please advise. Thanks!

Windows mobile 6.5 in the HD2 seems not to have the button allocation program which would allow a button, say "phone", to be used to fire up the speech.
So how do I do this please
…………………………………………………………………….
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.
