I have a T-Mobile Vario II. Included was a wired headset with in-line volume slider and push-button.
At present holding the button down for a few seconds launches the pre-loaded voice speed dial software. However, I have installed Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and want to change this button to launch the voice command software instead of the Cyberon software.
I've been digging through lots of forums including this one and found many references to using BlueTooth headsets but not the wired one. Lots of them refer to the reg key [HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\] Path. The path value doesn't exist on my device, and creating it didn't make any difference.
Has anyone found a way of changing what this button does?

as abov has anyone found a way of doing this in running in basic mode using a jabra bt 250v and would like to get the tt5 voice through the headset im probably missing something very simple
Is that supposed to work?
I've found the following works, but it is a bit of a bodge. Replace the VoiceDialler registry entry with the one that loads MS Voice Command (see elsewhere in this forum). When you press the button, Voice Command will startup with its double beep noise. However, unlike the VoiceDialler software, Voice Command does not release control back to the EXEC until you press the headset button a second time. And if you don;t release control, all the EXEC's audio will play through your headset.
I'm not even sure you would need Voice Command, you could probably enter a nonsense path in the registry.
Give it a go and see what happens.
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
I just got this device, and I'm mostly pleased with it after applying various tweaks thanks to the fine people on this board. One problem I'm having though, is I am not able to voice dial contacts using my bluetooth headset. I have a Plantronics M3500 paired up with the device using hands-free profile, however pressing the button on the headset doesn't do anything to the MDA no matter if it is on or in standby mode. I saw messages on here that other people have this working, but so far, I haven't been able to. Is there something special that needs to be done? It worked fine for me on my Sony Ericsson P900 phone. Any suggestions are welcome. TIA.
Nevermind....
Uh... sorry just figured it out. It does work, but differently from my P900. I used to just press the button on the bluetooth headset, but with the Wizard, I have the hold down the button for a couple of seconds. Perhaps something to do with the hands-free vs. headset profile.
Are you using the stock voice dialer or Voice Command? I have been trying to find a way to activate Voice Command via the bluetooth headset button, without any success.

No, I'm just using the stock voice dialer. The headset is paired up with the MDA using the hands-free profile. When I press the button on the bluetooth headset and hold it for 2 seconds, I hear a litte tone and the MDA 'wakes up'. As I said in the message above, with my Sony Ericsson P900 phone, I used to just have to click the button, and the phone would go into voice dial. I'm guessing that the difference may be due to using the hands-free profile vs. the headset profile that was used with the P900.

Follow these directions, works great...
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.
Yeah, what Dustoff said. The other thing to remember (I learned it from these forums) is that you need to press the headset button twice to fully disconnect from the MDA. The first click disconnects from Voice Command, the second click disconnects from the audio gateway.
microsoft voice command and bluetooth headset

The keyword in your request is BlueAngel. This registry hack is for the wizard only. I am not familiar with how to do it for the BA.
Sorry...
sorry, i saw the info, got excited and didn't notice the type of phone listed.

Please note that I am asking about the original wired/USB headset that is shipped with the Hermes, *not* a bluetooth headset.
Is there any way to assign a function (such as Voice Command) to the push-to-talk button on the wired headset?
There is a program available for the Wizard that does this:
"Talk Button Detector":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264308&highlight=talk+button+detector
Unfortunately this program does not appear to work on the Hermes, and the source code is not linked.
Any help is appreciated.
Have the same problem
I'd also like to use the genuine HTC wired headset (the one which comes with PDA) to make calls using Microsoft Voice Command. But the button calls embedded dialer instead of Voice commander. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi guys,
Well, here's the thing:
I'm don't like the WM6-roms, because they drain the battery in less than a day (checked with different batteries). Anyway, because of that i'm still using a cooked rom (helmi i think), but that rom came without voice dail/recognition.
So i downloaded Ms Voice Command 1.6 and installed the program on my Universal. So far so good...
But here comes the problem; i have to address a button to Voice Commander, and because i'm using a wired headset (the one that T-mobile delivers with the Universal) it doesn't recognize the button on the wired headset.
According to Voice Command i have to go to <start>, <settings>, <buttons> to assign a button. That's ok, but since there are only 4 buttons (camara, light, videodial and message), how do i assign a function to the wired headset-button (button 5 i presume) ?
PS: strange face: i can answer and end a call with that wired headset-button :-x
