hi,
does anyone know software for windows mobile devices that make it act like a megaphone. or would this be easy to make ? input = magnified output or something ?
does not sound that hard.
but i have been looking on google and searched on several ppc software sites.
w/o any promising results.
its just for fun.
and dont say: 'BUY AN MEGAPHONE' pls
Thanks in Advance.

I'm certain that you can yell louder than the maximum output level of the speaker on the phone. At any level, that may even be remotely close to louder than you could yell, there will be so much distortion from the device that it would be nothing more than noise.
Now if you had asked about a voice changing app. That may be fun if it could even be activated while on calls.
That is till you answer your phone with the female voice when your wife calls.
you got a point there about the maximum lvl of the speaker. lol
and i dont realy think those voice chaning app's work that good.
they come with my creative sound card.
some voices are changed quite good. others are not
thx anyway. you made this topic useless
Don't even think of it. At the very least the microphone will sense the amplified output and there will be a fading echo. In the worst case echo will be amplified up to the point where all you hear is a painfully loud high-frequency tone.

I love feedback!
Surely the speaker on the device isn't loud enough to make a difference?
what kind of topic,,,,hahahaha
you can yell louder than the speaker.....hahaha
...but the voice changing app will be a lot of fun
Is there voice changers for PPC?

Apparently this is impossible, because they don't allow access to the mic... I think... I don't think they wanted people to write programs to record coversations...
Why is it impossible? I have a voice recorder on my touch.....

true, you can have a recorder, but altering it would be difficult- lets remember you might not want to be using a voice changer all the time..a recorder records sounds but doesnt alter it

Yes, and there are recorders like RESCO recorder which records while in a conversation too... There are several crazy apps like call cheater (adds a background sound) and many more that I used in my symbian N70, but on WM6 I found nothing...

HA!! I loved call cheater on my Nokia.. Can't count the number of times I left work late and used the traffic jam background as I called the wife at 90+ MPH. "Yea stuck in traffic again."
Well, the HTC phones(or manufactured for other carriers) ain't supporting the in-line audio function ( which is a hardware feature), due to which I suppose you can't play background sound during call. Because of this the answering machine functionality doesn't work, which you find in the nokia's symbian based phones. Some phone of Gigabyte has this functionality & I hope in near future HTC looks into implementing it.
If you want answering machine functionality on ppc then you can try iSecretary 4.5. But remember it will route the audio through the loudspeaker, which might annoy you sometimes.

the windows mobile standard have that app. as conversations recorder are hundreds but I use PMRECORDER and it will be fun have such a app to add a background sounds to a conversations
its not as stupid as you might think
megaphones can be pretty loud, but for the most part are no louder than a human voice, the point of a megaphone is to talk into it and your voice amplified so you can shout without straining your voice.
obviously a phone speaker wont match your standard megaphone speaker but you should be able to amplifiy your voice with your phone.
not really practical but it is doable.

Voice scrambler 'd be nice just to speak silently into the PDAs' mic and the voice would come loud and scrambled from the speaker (i need that for my mafia job )
I think there was something like this for the nGage.
Try to google that-maybe they did something similar for our ppc's!?
I would actually like such a program, but I wouldn't use it with the phone's speaker, I'd use it when connected to a speaker system. Say your at your party and you want to speak to everyone without yelling your lungs out, you simply plug your speaker system into the the phone, and everyone will be able to hear you. I know the Iphone has an app like this, so there has to be someone with WM coding skill to write a program like this. It's a simple concept: get audio data from the microphone and immediately give output through the headphone jack.

does anyone know of software that can record phone calls?
it does exist.
but unforunatly i don't know the name anymore.
i used it in an ipaq h6340, working great but using alot of memory therefore not usable on the ipaq
Did you find software to record a call ?
Ralph
search for mp3 notes....
that was the only software that used to work for me (on my hima)
San
you used to be able to record calls by going into notes and then start recording while on a call, just tried it now and it just records as normal and not tha call, oh well.
DONT FORGET TO GET THE OTHER PERSONS PERMISSION BEFORE RECORDING THERE VOICE THOUGH, LOL
1) Resco Audio Recorder 32
2) PM Recorder(freeware)
built in feature, just hit notes when you are in call, and at the bottom is a tool bar with record on it.

Not correct, the Universal only records your voice when recording, not the person that you are talking to.
It records both sides on my exec. Just that the voice of other side is low compared to mine

Same is with my BA. The voice of the other person is faint, while, my voice is TOO loud !!
Why don't you guys do a search first?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40100&highlight=
It is faint because it is not really trying to record the other person !! Your mic just happens to be so close to your speaker that it can just about hear it !!! in fact I guess proof of that would be, it working perfectly (both sides of the conversation) when in speaker phone mode !!
^^weird since I use my wired handsfree...

There seems to be lots of free and open source text to speach code out there: http://sig.levillage.org/?p=551
So, wouldnt it be cool to have your universal say 'Incoming call from <contact name>' instead of your usual ring tone? It gets right around the problem of having to open up the screen to see who is calling.
It would also be a great gimick for people with other phones too. Talking ring tones havent even been done by Nokia yet. 8)

There is the Fonix range which can read your email, but I don't know whether it'd be able to read your SMSes too.
Not to be a stick-in-the-mud, but why would you want SMS-to-Speech?
"Dot Dot Dot Forwardslash dot dot dot Open Bracket dot dot dot", and that's just the first line of one of those cutesy smsses. Or the ones where each letter is converted into it's visual brother, but with umlauts and all the other diacritical marks (accents, breves, circumflexes, spiritus and hooks)? To the english speaking person, the letter "ß" looks like a funky "B", but in germanic, it's an 's" sound.
And "Ur th bst 1 n da wrld" (not a good example, but you get the idea) does not translate well if not heavily interpreted first.
It'd be a "neato" feature, which you'd uninstall after a day's usage.
Can Microsoft Voice Command read up a contacts name and tell me that?
.. Microsoft Voice Command is it worth buying?
Messed around with MS voice command a bit.. havent been using it much before because I dont need the features much over the built in thing. I tried turning on the announce incoming phone calls option, but its really soft. (Far too soft to hear). The normal ring tone plays for a second, then goes soft and I assume the voice command is trying to speak after that, but its too soft to hear, even with the phone next to my ear.
I agree, I love the Voice command function that tells you who's calling but yes it is way to quiet so I usually turn it off, it needs to be load and not trying to swap between the ringtone and voice command telling you the person who's calling. So yes a specific program to do this as a ring tone would be great.
Interesting thread. This is a great idea, but I have to say, MSVC does the job so well, it's probably not worth expanding beyond there. However, I'm looking into a general text to speech solution for PPC.
Our best bet is flite, which is a relatively large install and doesn't sound very good.
However, an easy way for you to start thinking about this is to check out the app WordBook. I think it installs a version of the Flite dll. You can copy text and get it to speak it straight back to you. The speech is quite poor quality, but it gives you an idea. Now I imagine you can access this externally, and so you can intercept SMS, calls etc and get it text to speeched.
However, since MSVC is installed in traditional SAPI form, it should also be externally accessible.

Voice Command
I have just tried the demo of Voice Command on universal, but i couldnt get button on bluetooth headset to activate it. Also it would be nice if the caller name being read out would be good over the bluetooth headset.
Can and of the genius's on this site create such a programe. Or anyone know of any other programmes.
Using the phone in clam mode means you dont know whos calling, and as i use my bluetooth headset all the time, it would be nice to know whos calling.
Thanks in advance

I dont know about that. Have you tried using the announce incoming calls option? On my universal, no matter what settings I try, its simply impossible to hear what VC is saying while the phone is ringing. So for me, VC definately doesnt seem to be doing the job very well at all.
Has anybody been able to get VC to properly announce the caller ID?
No VC is to quiet, so useless
Aaah, ok, I don't use my universal as a phone, and just remember it from the Magician, when it would announce calls. I think there's a thread around trying to resolve this issue though.
V
Voice Command has a known problem of being extremely quiet on the Universal.
Somewhere on this site there is a fix CAB file that ostensibly makes the volume higher. I hadn't found a major difference, but look for it and try.
The announce works best if you turn the ringtone off and use annouce only (make sure your normal volume - not ringing volume - is turned way up)
No good, its still very soft. Having the volume on full is also quite a hindrance, since you have to keep turning it up and down all the time. As they said back in November, we'r going to have to wait on an update to make voice command properly compatible with WM5. There doesnt seem to be any move by Microsoft to actually do this, though.
Strange that nobody has really used voice caller ID on the Universal before - it seems the obvious choice for a ring tone to me on a phone like this.
The hack for increasing sound - never tried it, but it involves, IIRC, changing the attentuation type in the notification settings.
V
Hi.
I only have Voice Commander. Is it different from MSVC? I keep looking for the announce incoming calls but couldnt find it. Voice Commander has been in my phone when I bought it so I just use what's available but it gives me so much headache. When I say "Call John", it gives me several names that dont even sound close to John. Grrr! I even put tags on the names individually but my VC is so deaf! Is it because of my bluetooth headset, VC or is it the phone's fault?
thanks

aside from microsoft voice command; what i use is mortring...i'm sure you guys are familiar with this app...it allows you to assign ringtones and sms sounds to individuals in your contacts. using the xda's microphone, i made my own ringtones by recording either my voice or someone else's. example; i deal with a lot of raw material suppliers and i get calls all the time. when this guy working for a foundry calls me up; the sound i recorded goes "mr. johnson is calling". for others whom i've developed good relationships with, i asked if i could record their voice and use it as a ringtone....so if my supplier from an aluminum die caster calls my xda goes "hi robson, this is ch lim". sms' are easy since you can do the same and assign them for that particular contact. when i receive and sms, my xda goes "text message from ____". for the people who call me that are not in my contacts list; the default ringtone i've set sounds off. this is very convenient for me when i'm driving or the like, no need to look at the phone and simply activate the bluetooth headset.
you don't really have to go and search the net for ringtones all the time; you can use the xda's recorder to actually make them. the format output is in .wav file. for text to speech for sms, i agree that would be a very interesting feature...flite is a good app...perhaps vijay can link up something for sms? but then that would probably violate the license thingee for flite...

Guys, I have tried all the solutions for call recording be it Vito Audio Notes, Resco Audio Recorder, LivePVR but no one works fine. They aren't able to record the other party voice unless on speakerphone. So, I thought why not beat those commercial apps and develop a better free solution. Unfortunetly, I dont know much programming, But I know who can do this, yes its you xda-developers. So, gear up to be superior as ever.

Please follow my articles - in them, I've discussed this problem a lot. You will NOT be able to record the other party. Sorry, it's a hardware (or at least API) restriction.
You could use a pc mic next to your ear and record it to a pc. But you have to have a pc nearby.
Here is an imaginative workaround:
Is it possible to redirect from speaker phone to a bluetooth headset?
Something like this:

Or search "BT Toggle", I am sure there is something like that in modaco.com
Then modify the tool to "capture" + "redirect" to BT

The lack of BT recording means it's still the mike that is picking up the voice of the other party and there's no direct access to it. That is, the results are inevitably far worse than direct access.

Hello,
Need following software that I could not find:
1. Call conversation recorder (tried Resco won't work properly - almost impossible to hear the person you are talking with, I suppose it uses microphone to record, isn't there any internal way to do it?)
2. ****list software to block calls and messages from unwanted numbers.
My machine is HTC Touch Cruise, Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro
Much obliged in advance for any clues.
Oooooh exotic! Haha.
Use "Call Firewall" (search google) for blocking calls. For recording calls you are most likely out of luck on Pocket PC. Haven't seen a good one come across the forum yet. Anyone care to prove me wrong?
You can use the notes function built in to WM6 and record it from there... Bad quality but does the job...

No... During a call, you can press the notes button within the phone app and then hit record in there. I'll post some screen shots if you want...

Resco Audio Recorder automatically records phone calls (I remember because I didn't know it was on, so I filled up my storage with phone recordings).
However, it is quiet because on most WinMo hardware, you can't record incoming voice. It's quiet because it's recording from the mic (where you talk into), which I guess picks up a bit of sound from the speaker (where you listen when you talk). Maybe try talking on speakerphone all the time? Haha, I'm sure that won't work in a business setting, but it's something.
can "Call Firewall" block messages (SMS) as well? I guess not. And that is even more important for me. Anyone knows software with this function?

Second is can add the voice affect in speaking.
( Ex: In incoming/outgoing call you can add a disco music affect or a
motorbike or etc. )
Do you know kind a program for WM? I use WM6.1
Thank you

I have a special hands-free device that distorts your voice. Its just for fun.
As far as I know theres only that hardware way to change your voice on-the-fly.
All other softwares cause a delay to change the voice. I tested one for the PC (that has a much powerfull processor, when compared to our phones) once, that only caused a 2 second delay. But it always causes the delay.

If the delay is anything at all like in Voice Twister (as referenced above: http://www.screamingbee.com/product/VoiceTwister.aspx ), then I will take it.
For example, using the alien voice results in a noticeable delay of 2 seconds or so as you suggested, but using the Squirrel or Giant voice, the delay is nominal, like half a second, if even that.
I still can't believe no one here has figured out how to make this feature work.
I know we have plenty of talented people here, and Im sure one of them will eventually figure it out.
And hey, if that solution ends up inducing a half-second delay, I'll take it.
Something is better than nothing.
Yes I think so
This website is very good and merge helpful people.
If some body produce like this program this will e very funny
Voice Twister is a great app, but just seems so limited.. If you guys could make a improved program I would donate.. Something like SonicVox for winmo would be cool too.Thanks alot everyone on this site for all there hard work.
T-Pain has an autotune app?
Well aparently on the iphone. Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDGJY2LgwWI
How cool would this be on a winmo device? You can sound like all the current rap and R&B stars or get back that funk by sounding like Roger & Zapp. Great voice manipulator' would love to see a winmo version/ better version..
This would be an awesome app for our WM devices
yeah it would be a nice application if someone can made it
