Considering so many states are inacting no cellphone laws while driving in cars I was wondering if anyone found a program that will allow for full or custom voice control of their phone without having to press a button on the phone? Something like a call sign? I know Microsoft Voice Command requires you to press a button but is there one where it listens for you to say something to activate the voice command. Also maybe customize how it reacts such as openning programs? I had one long ago but it was limited. Anyone find anything newer?
i used to have this feature on one of my older phones s710a i could say a world or what it called a magic word and have it do whatever i prerecorded
the only problem i see with tryin to do this with a bluetooth headset is that the bluetooth headset would have to be on all the time in order to recieve the magic word or command whatever you wanna call it
but then again this could probably be elminated if you have a hands free car kit that gets power from the car outlet
if that were the case then i think you could keep the bt audio always on and then use something like voice command or cyberion would probably need sometime of voice recognition so in case somebody else said the word it wouldn't activate the feature

I changed the path to voice command in the registry (HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/ Path=\Program Files\VoiceCommand\voicecmd.exe), but my Cardo Scala-500 headset still does not activate Voice Command. I searched extensively, was not able to find how to make them talk to each other. Any ideas? Anybody else using MDA+Scala-500 combination with Voice Command successfully? I am on the last official T-mobile ROM.
I don't know if it is anything related. When I first paired my Wizard with a Motorola Bluetooth, the pairing process says it is hands free device. However, it will not do voice dial. Then I tap long on the selection of this device in Bluetooth configuration and bring up the menu. In the menu, I select make this device the default hands free. Afterwards, it will work with voice dial.
You need to check to see if that headset supports voice dialing. I beleive that there are some out there that don't.
The "Hands Free" checkbox is checked on the device. And the manufacturer says it does support voice dialing. Anecdotal evidence (online search) also says that some people were able to use MDA with this headset and MS Voice Command.
Can it be a function of my ROM or any radio versions? They are in my signature if it matters.
Also, the headset has "Bluetooth version: 1.2 Class2". I do not know what that means, maybe that is why I think it may matter.
Different headsets behave in wildly different ways when it comes to activating voice dialing. My Moto HS850, for example, activates VC on the second push of the button, and you can tell at the same time it is pulling all sounds from the phone so you can hear the "bling-bling"... and then it takes its sweet long time in allowing the phone to return to normal so you cannot use VC again until that happens. My Bluespoon AX2 is different, in that it works every other time, and my Jabra BT800 just plain doesn't even work.
I suggest you play around with the BT config in your phone to see what works best for you.
I tried one click, double-click, tripple, and push-and-hold - nothing works.
Also, just tried a colleague's headset (Jabra JX10), it does not activate Voice Command on my Wizard either. I am going to talk to the manufacturer of my headset, see what they say.
Voice Command 1.6 seems to be a bit of a nightmare and i have given up on my hermes for now.
My trinity though is almost ok, the only thing that doesnt work is when i push the voice button on the headset the sound comes out the phone speaker.
If i use the button on the phone though the sound comes out the headset.
How can i change the action of the button on the bluetooth headset to do what the button on the device is doing.
Thanks all.
Rob.

FYI I use a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and I don't experience this problem.
Rjefferis, I experience the same problem as you.
I have a Jabra JX10 headset.
Confirmation voice always comes out of phone speaker, not headphone... and irritatingly, it takes microphone readings from the phone body too. Kind of defeating the idea of hands free voice dialling.

Yeah this seems to be the problem on the hermes too. On mine it works correctly if i use the voice dial button on the phone. So the button on the headset and the button on the phone must be calling slightly different functions. All i need to know is what reg key i have to edit to make the headset button do the same as the phone one.
Try yours to see whether it works using the phone button. I think maybe my a2dp is getting involved somewhere as well.
There is an option about Notifications and Bluetooth devices in the Voice command settings... does this solve you problem?
Not for me.
It is set to read only through handsfree. I havent got my headset here, so I will see what happens if I switch it to the opposite like rjefferis implied.
yeah i doesnt make a difference using the options in voice command.
I think maybe when i push the button on the phone it works through the a2dp to the headset which obviously it shouldnt be.
When i use a non stereo headset then i think it always comes out the phone no matter what.
There are a number of threads regarding this issue and some semi-working fixes to get initiating a voice call through a mono bluetooth headset.
The problem seems to be a difference in the trinity passing audio through the audio gateway using a mono bluetooth headset. Not sure if this is a problem with the implentation of Microsoft's bluetooth stack on the TyTn/Trinity but I'm assuming that's the case.
According to Microsoft's Voice Command site, they indicate that the TyTn (put the Trinity in the same situation) passes audio through the device speaker. They also make note that devices running Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0 will pass announcements through the device speaker. This leads me to believe that Microsoft fixed audio to a mono bluetooth headset but I've seen lot's of messages from people running roms higher than this version who still have the problem so sounds like HTC hasn't implemented it.
I've sent emails to HTC who indicate that it's a 3rd party program and there is no guarentee they will fix it as it's a Microsoft problem. I haven't been able to get word from Microsoft if it is being fixed but from their website, seems both parties are passing the buck on this one.
Considering HTC's lack of commitment in releasing updates for their branded products and the delay, we probably won't see another rom after their first release for a while if any since they seem more committed to releasing new products increase their bottom line without keeping their current customers happy. So if it's not in their upcoming rom update and Microsoft isn't releasing a fix, we could be waiting a while. I'd recommend anyone who cares about this issue to send an email to HTC Support. You'll get the generic response but hopefully if enough people complain about it, a fix might fall into their update
no matter how I try to make it work, I cannot get voice dialing to work over my bluetooth headset. Anyone having this problem?

I think EVERYONE
the moment comes with nuance, is there any way to rip that out and add it to the hero?
For some reason, I find it easier to use the Voice Search app instead of the Voice Dialing app. If I say, "Call Dennis at Home" it works every time. BTW, I'm using a Jawbone Icon Rogue earpiece, which now supports A2DP. I do have to initiate the Voice Search by tapping the icon on the phone, though.
Bluetooth voice dialing
I would love to see one of the devs tackle this one. I have had true tap your BT device and voice dial since I started carrying a smartphone, UNTIL I switched to Android a few months ago.
Please devs, someone tackle this one. Even my old MotoQ with Winmo did it perfectly. I know you guys can do it better. Look how good Google Voice is with the keyboard and search now.
I have tried to get Nuance Voice from the Moment to work on the hero, and the phones are just too different and Nuance is to integrated to the moment. It works great though. Thats the ONLY good thing about that damn phone.
finally fixing blue tooth
Saw a recent post on phandroid that this will be fixed in android 2.2 (froyo)
And I quote:
" •Voice dialing over Bluetooth
•Ability to share contacts with other phones
•Support for Bluetooth enabled car and desk docks
•Improved compatibility matrix with car kits and headsets "
I recently had a Pioneer aftermarket stereo in my car and it was extremely convenient: hitting the phone button on the stereo immediately launched voice command through the radio's sound system, so that I could dial by voice and never have to take the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, etc. My car was totaled in a crash and in the new vehicle there's a separate BT system which doesn't do any of this - it pairs and calls come through it, but it won't activate voice dial; it can only dial the numbers stored in its own (local, limited) memory and won't let me give the phone other commands. So I'm thinking of replacing it, but I need to know: what feature am I looking for that enables the radio to connect to the phone and launch voice command without me having to touch the phone at all? What determines this? How do I know which stereo will activate VoiceCommand and which will only dial?
Thanks,
Mike
I thought it was the vendor/radio that determines what the buttons do. Same problem here, buttons don't always do what I want them to!

seems reasonable, but what feature is it? When trying to pick the right vendor/radio, what am I looking for specifically? The salesmen know nothing about BlueTooth and VoiceCommand... What BT signal/message is being sent to the phone to activate ViceCommand?
Mike
The Voicecommand signal. I think your radio company decides which buttons have what functionality. If your phone doesn't have features that the radio has or vice versa, then it doens't work. The newest rom posted has, based on what I've read and seen, slightly improved BT functionality. (Although music by BT sucks, argh.)
Ive noticed something very strange with this headset. When I use the button on my Samsung Modus 3500 to either launch voice dial, redial or to hang up a call, Google Voice Search wont use any microphones on the phone and wont work. If disconnect from bluetooth and reconect it works again.
I tried to use a mono blueant headset and eveything functions the way it should, never a glitch. Im thinking it might have something to do with either the AD2P profile or the voice dialer taking over, honistly I dont know, I just want to know if anyone else has noticed anything like this.
And yes, i understand that Voice Search dosent work thew the headset, but the mic on the phone should ALWAYS activate when Voice Search is used.
Im using Macnut 13 right now, but I have tried this on evey Froyo ive installed including JK2 and JK6. Same results on TWO diffrent vibrants. Right now the workaround is to use the Bow Tie app fromt the market, but I would rather get the stock mic working right and consitant.
To test you headset:
1. Connect you headset to the phone
2. Hold down the button on the headset to redial, or just press it to bring up the dialer
3. Use the button to hang up
4. Try to use Google Voice Search by talking into the handset.
Post results here with your headset model and if it is AD2P capable. This may be a problem unique my model. If its not, then its something that the devs should look at. Chances are its a simple fix somewhere.
