I had a PPC-6700 with Microsoft Voice command 1.5. Today Sprint upgraded me to the Mogul PPC-6800 after a warranty issue.
I have tried to install VC 1.5 but it gets an error message before it completes.
Is the 6800 compatable with Microsoft VC 1.5?
Do I need to upgrade to VC 1.6?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
JWB
Version 1.6 works... I can't speak for version 1.5...

I am also using MS Voice Command 1.6 with the latest Sprint stock ROM. It works fine... even with Bluetooth headsets.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with earlier versions of the product, but if I had to venture a guess, I would say upgrading will solve your issue.
voice command with Mogul
I upgraded to Voice Command 1.6 and it works perfect, even via bluetooth headset.
For some reason, the little 'beep' does not always, (actually most the time) play when you push the button to activate VC.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am thinking of buying this software to run on my qtek 9100.
It is running a T-Mobile 1.6 rom with the blackberry connect.
Will it work OK?
Is it worth buying?
Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Dave
i use it and love it. only wish it would work with bluetooth headsets. it's nice to hear who is calling by a nice female voice rather than ringtones. the voice recognition is great as well.
I would recommend it.
The voice dialing works much better than the standard built in voice dialing (even though it has actually sampled your voice FFS).

It works great with bluetooth headsets. There's a couple of tweaks you need to do though. You can probably find it with a search.

Unfortunatly, the reg hack tweak for BT VC only works once. It stops working after you end a call.

Huh? I've never experienced this. Every time I push the button on my headset, Voice Command activates. No matter how many calls I've had. It might be a matter of the headset as well. I could never get my Jabra BT500 to work reliably...sold it. But my Tekkeon ET3000 works flawlessly.

I never had this problem. Here is the tweak I use:
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. Reset device.
When it stops working, does that registry value still show the right value?
works fine here
VC works great with my Cardo Scala 500. Sounds better too since they gave me free silicone caps. I can hear ringtones, notifications, etc. all through the headset.

How did you enable ring tones? Mine doesn't do that by default and I haven't figured out how to enable it.
I don't think that anyone can say that Voice Command works flawlessly over bluetooth.
The fact that pressing the button on the headset opens the audio gateway and it has to be closed before it can be opened again is a bug, not a feature. The audio gateway should close itself and doesn't.
The software has been out since January '05, I believe, so some bugs with Windows Mobile 5.0 are expected.
That being said, I love Voice Command despite its issues. Once Microsoft decides to release a new version that works better over bluetooth, I'll love it even more. It's presently still worth buying, definitely.
it's a great program, but needs to be updated for WM5. It should support activation from Bluetooth headset out of the box.
Some people seem to have it working, but with my Sony Ericsson HBH-662 it only works once after each reboot.
Mine also works only once through bluetooth - i got the latest Rom/Radio Rom (the Mr Clean one) installed, perhaps that has got something to do with it?

Hey Guys,
I installed voice command on my Tmo Wizard and the midst of uninstalling it, it gave me a message that it wasnt uninstalled correctly. It left a shortcut in the settings section. Ever since then when i try reinstalling it, it gives me a msg that another version is already installed. How do i remove the already installed one short of hard resettin my phone? Any help will be deeply appreciated. Any role for removing it via reg edit?
Thanks in advance.

It's a great piece of software. It has a few quirks which annoy me a little but hopefully they'll be sorted in the update if it ever comes.
When voice dialing a number e.g. dial 282 456... it insists on putting a zero infront of the number i.e. it will dial 0282 456.... I'm using the UK version BTW. I tried the US version up it didn't recognise my voice as well.
Also, the volume of the voice when annoucing this could be louder. there is no way to increace the volume.
It wold be nice if they expanded the command library to include more functions.
Re: Deep DooDoo
I finally fixed it a couple of soft resets later and trying to install the updated version 1.5 before installing version 1.0 and then uninstalling both and installing 1.0 and 1.5 together it finally worked!! Its a nice piece of software.
Email me if anyone wants detailed info.

I just got the Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (refer to as VC from here on) this morning and so far it has been quite disappointing.
I am using it on a Cingular 8525 with a Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435 headset (both are BT 2.0).
Right after the installation I noticed that the talk button on the headset did not trigger the VC so I did a power cycling.
After the power cycling the button will now trigger the VC as if I pushed the VC button on the phone but the problem is that it is not picking up my voice command via the headset but it is still listening from the phone's mic.
Any thoughts on this?
hjkl;' why no delete?

Version 1.6 at present time DOES NOT WORK properly with the TyTN. You should go back to V1.5 and wait for a patch...

I see. Thanks for the info. Hope the patch will be available soon!
What is the probelm with the ver 1.6 and the TyTn? Is it just the TyTN rom or does it not function with the JasJam or the 8525 either?
Dp you guys know this by experience or is it posted somewhere?
PocketPCThoughts list the 8525 as a "compatible device".
The problem will affect all Hermes devices, and it will probably require a patch / a new dll and/or a registry hack to make things work properly. It should work, but it doesn't, and this goes to show you what a poor job of testing was done before product release.
If the single biggest additional feature/function (ie, bluetooth support) doesn't work properly, why was it shipped?

Come on folks... This is MS we are talking about...
If it had been a software package with a little penguin or a devil on it we would be just fine

Or maybe we should start to look at HTC... Their implementation of the whole bluetooth "feature" is crap too... AD2P anybody? well let's hack the crap out of the register, and than try to be happy with songs that hickup every 30 secs or so... neah great!
First: Hermes generally does not work with BT2.0, I guess, especially my MDAvario2 does not...
I'm using a BT Headset HBH608, which was perfectly working with every phone I've ever tried...
Second: VC1.6 could not be installed on Vario2' and Hermes Devices at all, getting an error message...
VC1.5 (engl.) works, not perfect, but it usually works...

What do you mean it cant be installed. I have it installed on a TyTn and it works perfectly. I am not using a BT headset, so cant comment on that.
I've got v1.6 on an 8525 and it seems to working fine.
what exactly are the problems others are having with Hermes devices?
@DigitalFX: Hermes does support Bluetooth 2.0, but not Enhanced Data Rate.
@JCrompton: MSVC 1.6 does not route sounds/commands properly through a Bluetooth headset on the Hermes. You may be able to initiate a call with your headset button, but you'll be using the mic/speaker on the Hermes to complete it. Also, sounds/announcements are not working as advertised. HTC and M$ are working on a patch.
VC 1.6 works fine on my MDA with Motorola BT headset.

Seriously, why dind't any OEM use the Widcomm stack instead of the crappy MS one ?!
If only there was a way to hack the Widcomm stack and replace the MS one like they did with the Dell axims..

My 8525 works fine with 1.6 and my SE662 BT headset. Calls can be activated over BT using headset button, and audio routes to my headset throughout my call.

Wow! Have you done any registry hacks? I'd love to see what your Voice Command keys look like....
TIA,
Richard
I have an 8525 also, and 1.6 works as MS says it does.
The headset button activates voice command, the Beep occurs on the 8525, and the mike on the 8525 listens for input. If I say, Dial ... or Call... then the call works fine on the BT headset like expected.
I know a patch is in the works to fix this issue, and when they do, 1.6 is superior to 1.5 for voice interpretation.
However, for now, I have 1.5 working perfectly fine. All features work, and all I had to do was enter/change 2 registry keys (only 1 was necessary)

So how loud do you have to shout for the mike on the 8525 to hear you if the phone is in the next room, or in your purse or you're driving? It might be the way MS intended it to work, but I doubt it.
[RANT]
I can't believe that MS wouldn't have caught this problem during beta testing. Speaks volumes (pun intended) for the current state of software development and testing at MS. Anyone know if MS Reader works with WM5 yet? How about full multi-user support for ActiveSync? Win XP has been around for years now with this funtionality. And while I am on my rant, how about SP3 for Win XP? Currently we would have to download and install over 70 (!) critical patches to SP2 just to get our computers to the dynamic state they are at today. Come on MS, enough is enough. Get your s#!* together!!

At some stage in the last few days, the shipped version of Voice Command stopped working on my Dopod 838 Pro so earlier today I tried to remove it and install Microsoft Voice Command instead.
However, when I try to install MVC I get the following error:
An unrecoverable error occurred in Setup. Reset the device and try again.
Obviously I've tried it several times to no avail.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

okay, scratch that. Got it installed. But now it's not working with my bluetooth headset. I installed v1.5, not 1.6 because I believe that still has BT issues. But I'm wondering what I do now to get my BT headset working with v1.5.
ok scratch that as well.
Activation over BT. I downloaded the version from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1499174&postcount=13
I'm using a HTC brand Artemis with the a new Touch 3.0 ROM. Everything seems to work except activation of voice command via BT car kit. I'm using a Parrot CK3000. I set the BT Voice Command Config sofware to XCSdM "enabled" and tried it on my wired headset (AOK) and on my Parrot kit. It worked one time in my car (pressed button, radio muted, VC announcment, stated name, it called, ect - perfect)after installing the software. Then it wouldn't work again?.
Anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, anyone have the software working on their Artemis at all? Please let me know.
Got it working for those that want to try it. You have to disable XCSdM in BT Voice Command. Now everything works perfect with the BT car kit.
Now I have another strange issue. For some reason, I cannot get MS VC to open Tom Tom Navigator. It can open every other program on my phone except that one. Doubt anyone will be able to help (cause I never heard of this) so this is for the archive records.
Rename the shortcut 'Navigator'
So I got my hands on a newer version of VC and it work really well on my xv6800 except that its does not announce callers. Isn't VC supposed to do that?
Any idea how to get it to work?
I think mine works, but the voice in general for announcements is VERY quiet! I wish audiopara would also get this loud as well.
Sorry, but I can only tell you thats is extra quiet... Did you ensure that the proper options are checked in the config?
I believe that all the proper options are checked, but I'll look again to make sure. I don't think that the options are independent. I mean if I have notifications going to my BT for appointments and the like, I would think that all notifications would follow the same path. Still, I will definitely check again.
One thing odd is in some of the older versions of Voice Command there was a separate program that was called Voice Command BT which had some setting for bluetooth. I don't see that with this version of Voice Command, but again, I am getting some of the notifications through BT, so I'm sure it has the ability to communicate with the BT.
Can you tell what version of VC it is. I have had mostly success with it but the latest DCD Rom seems to have issues especially if I install the pay for package that I paid for. If I cook it in it seems to work most of the time. Sometimes I have to reboot to get it to recognize my commands.
Voice Command after MR1 update
After I updated using the MR1 release, voice command seemed to work better than ever. What I noticed though is that now it will not announce incoming calls. Announces everything else, but refuses to work on calls. I ended up installing a ripped version (19214) and just need to perform the bluetooth volume regedit.
I have a paid version that I bought 2 years ago to use with my 6700.
It did NOT work at all with the MR1 update or with the 6800 before the update.
I looked online and found a version 19209 and tried that one. All works perfectly!
except one thing. It will not read sms msgs anymore, but I can live with that. Notifications works (except sms), confirm works through bt, it is loud enough to hear who is calling....
