Yes I can. It is because you have not searched the site for the already started topic to where a solution maybe found. So please search "voice command text message" or "voice command sms" or any other combination you may think of and see the hits it brings up.
i don't think installing sms can

I don't disagree with you that there may or may not be an answer. I am asking you kindly to post in the threads all ready started on this subject to keep continuity. That way when someone else comes along we can direct them and it be affective.
thanks.
chillax, dude.
The problems arent related.
The OP is asking a good question. Basically, VC is written by Microsoft and so is designed to operate with system commands as MS designed them.
When you are using the Palm messaging app, you're actually circumventing the MS messaging app that would normally handle the new SMS, and using the plam app instead as a replacement.
VC does not recognize the palm app and therefore doesn't know to announce anything.
The same is true of Media Players and other system alternatives- if you use mortplayer or htc music manager for your tunes, VC will still only know how to control Windows Media Player.
The threads George is referring to are talking about a different problem.
Hope that clears things up.

Is there any add on for the Exec that will allow me to have a different notification sound for a Delivery Confirmation text (marked as from System Administrator on Vodafone).
I like to get a confirmation back but I only want a very short sound for it, not the normal notify sound I get with a normal text message!
Any ideas?

Don't know if this will work - but I noticed the other day that you can assign ringtones to specific contacts (I think) - maybe you could set up the SysAdmin as a contact with a short ringtone - I don't know if that would work for texts. (I've not tried it at all).
No, this only works for Ringtones, not Notifications from text messages.
where are all the default sounds for text notifications kept?
Mortring does the job. Search in the google for it. I'm using and an can assigne diferent rings for instance for notifications.
Best regards,
Aprt

Ive heard of Mortring, but can you tell me if it will allow a ringtone based not on a number but on a named string, as the test I get back for delivery confirmation doesnt have a number associated with it, it has the words "System Administrator" on it, no number at all.
Well i think not, because the one thing the app can do is to apply a ringtone to an unidentified contact, contact with no categories defined, by categories. The same for text messages.
So basically it functions using the number and the string used by the appz is the number.
Here is the topic made by the author of the program and you can ask him.

Greetings,
Aprt
Thank you for that, im greatful
Thought I'd tag on this thread.
I have just got two phones, on each for me and the good lady. She wants to know if there is a way of it reminding her that she has a text - currently the phone makes a noise once and then unless you open it up to check, you have no idea if you have a text.
Her old phone used to make a tone every few minutes if she had a text.
I can't see any settings in the phone to do this. Are there any apps out there that would fit the bill ?
Any advice greatfully received.

I don't know any apps, but you can go to Start>Settings>Personal> Sound and Notifications>Notifications>New Text Messages and check the "Flash light for NO LIMIT". This will ensure if you receive any text msgs that the indicator light will flash orange if you have any text message and it will only disappear after you dismiss or read it.

Phone Alarm from http://www.pocketmax.net/ will do this, and a lot more besides.
As for my problem, Mortring doesnt seem WM5 compatible - Oh well

but then I thought I'd have a look myself. Looking at the registry, text message notification is in notifications not sounds. Anyone know what the options are in HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/*/Options are ?

Hello,
I hate reading. What I would love is having VC reading some texts for me.
I don't know if anybody already had this idea, but I think this should not be too difficult to realize. Theoretically it already works, you just got to send all your texts via email to yourself. As this is very umfortable, I'd like to have a small tool which can open text files such as txt oder doc and then makes VC to read them.
VC can read any texts in the language in which it is installed (the messages and emails), so there must be a possibility to realize this dream.
Any ideas?
Would be great,
thanks,
MPW
If you go into the settings of Voice Commander you can change whether it reads High priority messages only-turn this off and it will read any new texts out. Works for me anyway
how do you make it read without saying "S M S"?
Flarestarwingz,
What build of VC are you using? I have tried several, including the cabs to fix various problems, and never managed to get it to read out text messages or appointments, no matter what settings I use.
Would be helpful if you could post up your settings as well, if that's not too much trouble.
Thanks
WB
Ah, it was on a Rom I had a few days ago, but i just re-cooked a Rom without it. Ill see if ive got the cab file and check it does work.
________________________EDIT:__________________
Ok it definitely works as i said I set the options to play messages on bluetooth when available (middle choice) and on Email options I set it to announce new email, unchecked high priority, and unchecked only in free time and it worked for me
I used a cab file i have for Voice Commander v1.60.4622.0
Flare,
Thanks for the info. I will seek out this build of VC and see how I get on. I must admit I am not hopeful; I have lost track of how many versions of VC (and cabs to fix problems) I have tried.
Thanks again for the info.
WB
Sorry, but you missunderstood my question.
Of course, I know how to make VC to read my appointments and it works perfectly for me.
But I want VC to read any texts (for example books!) for me.
I think that should be possible, because VC can read any email. So it should be possible to find out how to make it read any texts by just enterning the filename or writing a small tool...
Thanks,
MPW
You are talking about MS Voice Command - not Cyberon Voice Commander, right?
Yeah, we're talking about MS Voice Command. I'm aware of the fact that this software doesn't support this function. But I think it should be easy to realise it, because Voice Command can read any email text, so why shouldn't it be able to read any rext/book/what else?
A friend of mine installed the program but doesn't remember where he found it and I've looked through the Hermes forum as well.
Please, anybody....I need tethered messaging. It makes conversations so much easier. If a link can be left and any instructions for installation (if needed) it would be very appreciated.
Try searching for "threaded SMS".
Are you thinking something like Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook? Or did you mean threaded SMS?
It's tethered SMS. It's set up like an instant message conversation seperated by the contact you're having a conversation with showing both party's text messages.
As I said above, it is called "Threaded SMS". If you insist on calling it "Tethered SMS", you will never find it.
check out this link, it is called Palm SMS Threader.
if you're sitting at a computer, why not just fire up an IRC client and talk that way? much cheaper (if you actually pay for text msg's..i dont) and more straightforward..
i just cant see a conversation through sms, especially since there is a character limit on a message. any real convo going on would be interrupted by you having to open the next sms every 160 characters heh..
try codys sms from wmexperts.XXX

Threaded SMS doesn't quite work that way, instead of just a character count you get "0 characters 1 message" along the bottom. I've never gone over 320 characters but I assume its possible. the program breaks the message apart into multiple messages. Probably a pain in the ass on the receiving side, but haven't had any complaints, it is rather rare that I compose a text message of said length... for that there's always email.

i just tried that, didn't like it, and now i can't remove it... i uninstalled it but it is still there, and now it fails to install a second time so i can try to uninstall a 2nd time. not to mention that after install i found it erased all my messages... so yeah i guess it is time for second hard reset in 3 days.
Try Cody's Threaded SMS
I like it. Works just like the instant messaging program on Palms
been using various sms program. none have been able to annouce the incomming sms messages. I really do like to hear my text message being read. Is there any program that has sms feature but annouce it too?
i've used palm's sms and vito. the various sms software that i found else where that is not well discussed as the two mentioned.
if i can hack the registry to also store my texts in its default location while having palm's sms receive the text...i really like palm's sms, but it takes out my text inbox...i think voice command only reads text inbox.
other suggest downloading wm6.1, doesn't work with sms.
tested with samsung i760.
try the new ZoomSMS.. has a registry option to notify..
Try MS Voice Commad 1.6, It will read your message to you as you recieve it. Just hope you dont get one from thw wife/girlfriend during a business meeting.

Yes, my wife uses the MS Voice command to read her SMS's out loud. As a joke, I send her crap when I know she is with other people. She doesn't see the humor in it like I do.
Hehe i did this when a friend of mine had software for outlout reading of s60 device content installed on his n70 while in pub it had czech support, but i never heard funnier voice read out crap and czech curse words
Lol, we live in units, and the outside plumbing for the sewerage system broke.
I was in a meeting when I got, at max volume"
"Giant crap just outside window, think I'm gonna puke, leaving"
Lol, I have never been so proud of my GF
...To have the bloody thing read an SMS message?
I have looked, but cannot find this though I know it can do it.
I'm still trying to figure out the command to make it wash my dishes.

Based on what I've seen, MS voice command doesn't work right on the HD2. It wont read your SMS messages - and even worse it won't announce your incoming caller's info either.
Someone out here on the forum talked to HTC about the problem & they know about it (not that they've fixed it)
Thank you for that.
I spoke to a rep at Tmo and one at HTC and both said they were unsure that the device cold do this.
I told them I was POSITIVE that it is supposd to be able to do it, but no one had an answer.
Appreciate the info.
I've been using MS Voice Command to read the subject of urgently marked e-mail messages for a number of years on various WM devices. On my TMOUSA HD2 it almost works--only about the first half of the subject is read aloud. The second half gets read aloud when the next e-mail message is received.
It seems like is must be a filled/over-filled buffer problem/bug.
