I have an XDA Exec and am using it with a Sony ericsson HBH 662 Bluetooth headset. They work absolutely great together and i can voice dial from my bt headset perfectly using the inbuilt Voice dialing.
However, i was attracted to Microsofts version of this, MS Voice Command, because it will verbally anounce the name (or number) of the caller. This, i thought would be simply perfect to use with the HBH 662, as it would save me from having to take the thing off my ear every time to see whos calling. (still much simpler than opening up the Exec!!)
I have installed the demo version of MS Voice Command and find that the caller id announcement only works on the device itself and NOT the BT headset. This defeats the object of me getting it, so i would really really like to know if anyone has a solution to this at all?
Please someone out there help me as if i could get this to work then im a very happy bunny!
Hi Goonerfish
you need to follow this thread:

best,

Hi Mikey Mike,
Thanks for that. I had seen that thread but was unsure whether that would also allow the caller id announcements to be heard on the headset?
I know that with that thread you are able to voice command from the headset, but it is unclear as to whether the device sends the sound (incoming caller id) to the headset?
Have you tried this and can you confirm that it will work?
Also, i have noticed that the caller id alert is coming out pretty quiet? You had the same problem and do you know a way around that?
Many thanks
Goonerfish
hi goonerfish
no - the incoming caller id doesn't go to the headset - no idea how you do that - sorry.
the caller id alert conflicts with the ringtone so tends to be drowned out a bit - i find it really clear for appointments.

Is there such a thing? I use the Fonix voice product, but it only works via the speaker or wired headset. Sure, it will transfer the call to the BT headset once it dials, but having to pick up the device and open the cover kind of makes voice dialing pointless.
On a similar note, a Bluetooth-aware caller ID application would sure be useful. Having it speak the name/number in the BT headset would mean hand-off answering based on caller. Or maybe even just speak it over the speaker on the device.

I've been wishing for those exact same things ever since the first Pocket PC Phone came out. Hopefully someday!!
In the meantime, feel free to send such feature requests to Microsoft repeatedly...

Hi all,
Few weeks ago I read in this forum, but I forgot whether is there any solution for above mention subject.
Is there any bluetooth that support Voice command? Or any bluetooth headset v1.2 is compatible with it?
Say that I like to have bluetooth headset that I need to press the button to call, to get appointment, etc just by say it to the headset.
This would be great as you have personal assistance

Arto.
Hi,
I think it was me who posted the message but I still am looking for a peice of software for the MDA Compact that allows voice commands through my HBH600 - anyone?
Thanks
Msuk
As far as i know, this is not supported by the MS Stack used by the magician.
I don't get it. Everyone was saying that the Widcomm/Broadcom stack was no good for Voice Command, and now we've got Microsoft and their own stack is still no good.
So, who's manufacturing a stack that actually works?
I hear that the ETEN M-series (500, 600, perhaps earlier) works with Voice Command over the BT headset, so what stack are they using?
That the best thing I have ever heard, to be able to just push the button on the head set to give Voice command a request instead of pulling the phone out of your pocket all the time would be great.
Hi,
I used to be able to issue voice commands for my contacts when I had a SE P900. Also the callers name was announced in the BT and using my voice I could say 'Answer' or 'busy' why cant the MDA Compact be able to do this? MDA Compact get some many things right but gets a whole load of other functionality totally wrong :-(
Thanks
Msuk
Check this out...
Someone over at HowardForums.com's Pocket PC forum was able to tell me that the Eten M500 Pocket PC Phone Edition uses the Microsoft Bluetooth stack (although "enriched" or modified) and they apparently can use Voice Command over the Bluetooth headset, and even activate it by pushing the action button on the headset!
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=181 ... See "My new Eten M500" thread.
So, I'm asking anyone who's got the Extended ROM to upload it or post it somewhere so we can take a closer look!
Thanks people.
Anyone have o2 mini and Motorolla HS-850 bluetooth handsfree?
This handsfree is bluetooth v1.2. I am wondering if I can use this bluetooth for above purpose. Not perfect maybe, but at least I can get caller id readed by voice command better than sony HBH-660 caller id display.
Anyone with HS-850 please comment.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Guys,
I have an I-mate JasJar and a Sonyericsson hbh-662. Both of them get along better than chandler and joey, except for the caller ID function. When a call comes in, immediately the number of the person calling is displayed but not the name. Even if the person calling is a saved contact, it still shows only the number.
Do you guys have any other workaround?
Other than that, i can voice dial using BT headset without even touching my phone, call clarity is superb and range is very good. Overall, a great headset. Would recommend it in a heartbeat.
UD.
I have a JasJar with a HBH 660 and it works the same: caller id number but not the name, nither if is on the SIM card.
I was thinking it would work with 662 which is bluetooth 1.2 complaint.
Are we missing some settings?Guido
I have read in a forum on Exapansys that on a Imate Jam it shows the name if you have MS VOice COmmand 1.5 installed.
Have you try it?
That reminds me, does the HBH-662 have the "noise cancellation" feature? Its known as DSP. does the 662 support it?
UD.
Hmmm, are you sure about that? Can you give me a link to that page? I highly doubt if that is possible, but if you say so, i wouldnt mind looking into it.
UD.
I have both a BT800 and an HBH660, both of which have a disply and both of which only display the number when used with the JasJar.
Both display the contact name when connected to me SE P910i.
I have the same problem with my C550 too. It seems that the MS bluetooth stack doesn't send the caller Id data when in hands free mode.
*Posted from my JasJar*
here is the link.
http://www.expansys.it/forumthread.asp?code=114271&thread=15
Let me know if with ms voice command the caller name appear.
I am very interested too.
For some odd reason, i could not get it to install on my JASJAR, activesync issues i suppose.
Can one of you install it on the JASJAR and give us feedback?
UD.
I have VoiceCommand v1.5 installed and neither my BT800 nor my HBH-660 display the caller name.
That sucks!!!
Which headset do you prefer between the both rilot and why?
UD.
I like both of them for differnet reasons. I use the both all the time. The BT800 on my JasJar and the HBH-660 on my C550.
The HBH-660 is small, light and stylish. More comfortable too, but the battery life is poor compared with the BT800. It also seems to drop calls more frequently. If only the JasJar and C550 could send the caller ID data they would be perfect. Not the fault of the headsets though.
All in all, I prefer the BT800 but both headsets are excellent.
Thanks for the info.
I had used the BT800 for a while before but i always had trouble getting it on my ear and pressing the buttons to answer/reject a call also was rather uncomfortable. With the HBH-662, i can do everything with one button and its sits very well on the ear, so i prefer this
Also, the BT800 seems to crackle with the JASJAR, i dont know why. I have personally experienced this, and that too when the device was right next to me. The HBH-662 on the other hand has superb audio quality, very happy over all.
Thanks again for your observations,
UD.
same problem with HBH-200 from SE...
ciao, Danilo

i have a bt headset and tmobile mda vario.
i have paired the two...everything goes smoothly durings calls (incoming or outgoing).
i want to know if there is a way, while receiving a call a voice could tell me who is making the call ? without looking on the device?
something like :" CALLER X is CALLING " ... ?
Microsoft Voice Command.
Google it up.
I like using PhotoContacts Pro a little better. That way I can set up ringtones for the people that I actually want to talk to. That being said...Voice Command is the best addition I could have made to my Wizard since it allows you to voice dial everyone in your contacts by name or company and needs no training.
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 (like I have 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!
Microsoft Voice Command is probably the best out there... its almost uncanny how you can just talk to your phone and ask it stuff with no training.... Call blah blah blah.... what are my apointments? .... open file explorer.... etc etc etc....
I use it with a bluetooth headset all the time to make and receive calls all the time.... calls received will have the caller's name read to me via BT headset
Thanks, so nothing is included with the HD2 then correct? Is there a free version we can get for our HD2 here or elsewhere of Voice Command?

And that's on an HD2?
MSVC is pretty much the best out there...the other alternative is the Cyberon Speed Dial, but you do have to record for each contact.

Which MSVC version are you using?
I've been having strange problems with my Blueant Supertooth light and MSVC 1.6.
The problems are:
- My Blueant doesn't terminate the connection after calls, the lights and speaker just stays on eventhough the call has been terminated.
- No incoming call announcement from the blueant device.
- Sometimes when I press the call button on my BT device, voice commander responds on the phone's speaker??
Weird... I didn't have the above problems with my TD, although I never could get the incoming call announcement to work as well.
on the same lines, is there any application to type what you speak? This way we could use speech to text instead of using the keyboard!
It is a huge letdown that the HD2 does not already INCLUDE a voice dialing application like the past several HTC phones have had, for years.
HTC needs to step up the plate and both provide this and make sure that bluetooth voice dialing protocols are in place.
Has anyone used the Cyberon app yet? I believe the one is called "Voice Dialer" and the other is called "Voice Commander", not sure what the actual difference is or if either work fully on the HD2.
Hi. I'm using Cyberon Voice Sped Dialer on my HD2 and have set up my voice dals.
However, when I go to use the voice dial I only every get the 'tone' through the phone speaker and no longer through my BT headset. I have a Jawbone 2 BT headset.
My Touch HD worked fine with it and you could dial using voice through the headset but I no longer can on the HD2.
Is there a way to fix this? Do I need different software or is it just one of those things?
Thanks.
Owen.
Hi,
Im having the same problems with my HD2 device. I have a parrot bluetooth carkit and with this new device it doens't work like it should because there is no voice dialing.
I've tried several programs like Microsoft Voice command and other voice command programs like VITO voice command and Cyberon.
Is there any program that just looks like the voice dialing on the HTC Diamond? I just want to record my own voice and use it with my bluetooth carkit.
Thanks,

The problems with bluetooth is down to the HD2 using a widcomm bluetooth stack as apposed to a microsoft one. I personally havent found a voice dialing app that will work with the widcomm stack.
So what do we do now? I really love this phone but this is a huge problem for me...
Good question.... experiment!? E-mail voice recognition manufactures?
I have cyberon voice speed dial 1.2
I cant get it to work through my BT but I have sort cut on home that I press and it opens all my progs and dial contacts, one of the best things about my phone now I love that it opens all my programs...
I used to have a n95 and this put an auto voice tag on each contact and worked through any BT, shame the HD2 hasnt got an app that can do that ... and open my progs..
I'm also still waiting for a solution.
I have 2 bt handsfree devices on my 2 cars (Parrot and Blueant)...and MSVC only works for the first try after a soft reset.
After the first go, MSVC just goes thru the phone's mic and speaker. Very annoying when you still need to hold the phone up while driving AND you have a bluetooth handsfree device.

Is it possible for someone to cook a ROM with the MSFT bluetooth stack? Or is that too hardware/driver dependent?
You guys should check out the threat with the name: Voice Dial Removed! WTF?
Since I cannot post links yet I can't post the exact link but I'm sure you guys are able to use the search function on this website
Someone claims to have found a working solution for the problem, it's on the second page of the thread.. I'm going to test it right now
Edit: IT WORKS!! At first holding the call button didn't work for me, so I followed the instructions on the first page and now it works!!
Link :
Voice Dial Removed! WTF?
About to try it, hope it works with BT voice dial, if not then Duttys WM6.5 works as well as it can and includes the long press fix as standard.
Owen.
To install .CAB according to order of their numbering.
Do not forget to put a tick in Audio-adjustments sets (' To reproduce system sounds on removed set ').
I did not check it by myself yet.
I tried to make ONE .CAB but did not find apropriate software.
Let's try this way.

I have succeeded to activate the CVSD with BT Headset button press with the "4_CVSD_1.2_build_61226_1_BTHeadsetFixed.cab" given in the mail above.
But I can not hear the Voice Tag of the contact from the BT Headset but from the speaker of the HD2 as a confirmation to my speed dial speech.
And I have to check the screen when dialing started if I am motocycling
Any proposal to fix that little problem?

Can you give us a little more information? Which ROM ver? Which other soft you installed? Did u use: 1_CyberonVoiceSpeedDial_1_2_b080227_0R3.cab ?
Isn't there an option in the BT setup, sending all systemsounds to BT?
