Does anyone else get this problem with M$VC when activated via bluetooth on a Universal.
Click the button on your BT headset, audio is transferred to the device and you hear the beep acknowledgement from VC, you say your command, it then performs the command then exits but the audio is still diverted to the headset.
Now this is great if you want to listen to your mp3's via BT but it's a real pain if you need to perform another VC task as you have to press and hold the BT button to turn off the audio then press it again to activate VC.
How i have setup the VC over BT is to copy the file voicecmd.exe into the windows folder and rename it to sddialer.exe replacing the cyberon voice dial program file.
Cyberon voice dial does not deactivate the BT audio when it is finished its command but Voice Command does not....
Any ideas...

Hurrah, I got the Bluetake Stereo headset (BT450Rx) for christmas! And was hoping to be able to use it in mono and with voice commander until they released the A2DP profile...
However I think I must be doing something really stupid as I can't make it work! I have paired it with the MDA Pro... (Headset profile)
I can answer phone calls and end phone calls using the button on the headphones, and get sound through during calls... However I cannot get the button to do anything else! I was under the impression that if I pressed the call button on the headset it should start the SDDialer.exe or VoiceCMD.exe depending on what you have it set to in the registry... However it does nothing but beep in the headset (not the blips of either peice of software) and nothing happens... Have I missed something??
Anyone able to help??
Andy
edit the registry
from an old post on this forum, rilot offered the following and it has worked for me:
"MS Voice Command activation from BT headset
Now this one is sweet and makes the JASJAR the daddy for voice commands.
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played through the headset too. "
Hope it helps.
Thanks... I have tried this already and it should change it from responding to the Cyberon dialer to the Microsoft Voice Command... However mine is responding to niether!!
Any other ideas? Am I supposed to do anything to the other two keys in the VoiceCommander group?

got the bluetake bt420ex h/s for xmas and with the i-mate k-jam i can initiate commands from the talk button on the headset, just using k-jam as supplied.
i know this is not much help, but it shows it will work.
My "old" P800 was able to announce who was calling in my Bluetooth headset. After pushing a button on my Bluetooth headset I was able to do voice dialling. It could even pick up the call without pushing a button on Bluetooth headset.
Can wm 2005 on the Prophet do all this?
I have this working on my Jamin without any hacks
Care to share how? I just got a JAMin. No mention of voice dial except by launching program and certainly no mention of BT button. Pairs with my Plantronics M3000 fine but BT button doeas nothing. Any ideas?
Regards
Query to Wardy about Bluetooth Headset & Voice command
Hi Wardy does your Jamin let you control MS Voice command using the button on the BT headset? Or do you have to press the voice command button on the PDA and then talk through the headset?
Voice Command, once it is installed on the Prophet, works just like it did on the Magician. However, the Prophet (at least in Jamin flavor) has an app that lets you create voice tags to control most of it's functions, and this app can be started by using the button on your bluetooth headset (and accepts audio from your bluetooth headset). There are a few limitations, though: you have to create a voice tag for every single item that you want it to launch... and you can't create a voice tag for Voice Command :?. In other words, it is (as far as I'm concerned) completely worthless :evil:

Hi no sorry I am using the supplied voice command software. Its not a problem for me putting voise dial numbers in and I believe it gives better recognition than text to speach. But that's my view
Hello, Anybody succeded in activating voice command by pushing on the standard talk button of the QTEK headset? i understand there is a solution for bluetooth devices, but i tried with the standard headset and apparently it doesn't work...i am using the fantastic 2.8 ROM....
i am also intresseted to do that.
Did anyone found a solution?
It seems that the standard "Talk" button on Qtek's headset is only good for picking up incomming calls. It is not similar to voice button on the device. I've desperatly searched for registry keys to change that.
Did anyone have any luck?
Thanks,
Rostylsav
This didn't work for me, but it's easy to roll back. Pasted from Howard Forum.

Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset. My Scala headset beeps twice when it's ready for the Voice Command. My husbands Motorola headset beeps once when it's ready for the Voice Command.
Then you can also enable your bluetooth headset to receive music and other sound from your MDA by running the tweak "Enable Bluetooth Receive" using the Registry Wizard Program.
@glee719: This paste you did is about using Bluetooth headset for voice-dial.
The question is about the standard headset that goes with the Wizard . . . .
afaik the push-button on the headset works similar to the 'hook' buttons (green & red). Those do not trigger voicecommand either . . . .

Sorry to tell, it is not working for me, if i create a shortcut with "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe", and click on it, the voice command will lunch, however, putting the path in the reg, soft reset, press on buletooth handset doesn't work, any idea ?
By the way, how can we Set the microphone gain on the Wizard ? and how can we set the voice command to talk more and more louder ???
Yeah i'm interested to know how to make full use of the given headset, as i use it to listen to mp3 alot. The 'talk' button looks useless other than answering calls, unlike the w800i headset.
@rookery, this is NOT about the BT headset to activate VoiceCommand
Oh Sorry, did you mean the 2.5mm handfree, I don't have it in hand, does it work by the changing the reg key ???
hi to All,
useless to say i already tried the registry change for BT, and it didn't work for the STANDARD headset that is connected through the 2.5 mm jack. maybe, it is simply not possible.....
Is there a key for Talk button in the registry?
Does anyone know if there is a key for "Talk" button function in the registry?
We know there is one for BT headsets, but what about the conventional headset which comes with the device?
Anyone figure this out yet????????
Thanks
Has anyone got Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0 (not voice dial, the whole commander that runs apps and doesn't require tags) to take audio input from a bluetooth headset?
So far, I've got the button working - simply changing the registry entry HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand Path to the proper location of the VoiceCommander.exe executable.
Audio output also works - I hear the request for a command from the bluetooth headset.
Talking into the headset does not work. I have to be close enough for the phone microphone to pick up my command for it to work. After the phone recognizes a command, the confirmation audio "Call so and so?" comes out of the phone, not the bluetooth headset.
I hate the robotic quality of MSVC and I prefer the functions of this one, but the bluetooth thing is a deal-breaker if I can't get it to work. Anybody out there using this app on their Mogul / Titan?
You ever get any further with this?
I have had a Jabra BT Headset for a couple of years and it works well. I have recently purchased a XCarLink with BT and am now using this in my car instead of the headset. One thing that I liked about the headset was how it worked with M$ Voice Command - i.e. press the 'Talk' button and Voice Command would start and you could say 'call xxx' etc. With the XCarLink if I press the 'Talk' button this justs stops any music that was playing but doesn't start Voice Command.
Is there any tweak I can apply to get this behaviour?
Andy
More testing......
I have been doing some more testing with this as the Jabra BT headset stopped activating Voice Command...
Anyway I have tested a couple of different versions of Voice Command (1.6.19214 & the one from the Diamond 1.6.19581) and both behave the same. If A2DP Joint Stereo is enabled (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings - UseJointStereo=1) then the 'Talk' button on the BT headset no longer activates Voice Command. If Joint Stereo is disabled the 'Talk' button activates Voice Command (after a soft-reset).
I haven't had time to check the behaviour with the XCarLink but I will post the results when I do.
If anyone has any experience with this or knows a fix then I'd appreciate it.
Andy
Anyone been able to get voice dialling working from the Xcarlink? I just bought one and am having the same problems.
