Hi
I have an XDA2i and a leadtek BT GPS working together well, But Have only just got the XDA2i and want to use it for navigation and as a phone!
incoming call seem to work ok TTN5 mutes I talk on my Plantonics BT headset end call unmutes...
Making a call seem difficult while driving as there is no voice dialling running and searching contacts is difficult to see and operate!
How do others do this? Is there a dial that will display the contact list on double clicking the headset that uses a big font?
has anyone tried a headset with call display an directory browsing such as BT800#? if so do they work with the XDA2I
Any advice or help appreciated as at the moment I can't see me getting rid of my other phone!
i use Phoneplus. works great on my i-mate... http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=13354
Thanks, I will give it a go.
I also use phoneplus3 but you can also create POI with phone numbers for all the important numbers like home, work and friends then you can call them directly from within TTN5 via the 'call number' button in main menu 3 of 3.

Thanks, I have already added numbers to TTN5. I found and like pecaller, unfurtunatly it has a number of bugs like not remebering the groups etc.
So I'm using phonepluse but if they get the bugs fixed I would switch to pecaller and its free!
Thanks

Adrian,
You may try VITO Voice2Go for voice dialing or VITO QuickContact for finding contacts and calling with joystick (one-hand operation program, no stylus).

Thanks I will take a look.
Just wondered why so many posts on here for problems with MS Voice command.
What does Voice command offer that the built in Voice recog software doesn't?
It can reliably call any contact via any bluetooth headset I've tried ad will also open any application?
You can dial via contact name, or dial a # "Call 5-5-5-6-6-6-7" it can announce appointments etc. It is more versatile than the OEM however I do have problems with VC recognition and do not use it, for me the OEM (even limited) is more reliable.
Ah Numeric dialling; that may be why then. Last time i used it on my blue angel a year or so ago it didn't recognise UK dialling codes.
Anyone know if this is still the case?
well, suppose you have 300 contacts. with the built in voice dial program, you have to record a tag for each contact, which is a hassle. ms voice command on the other hand doesn't require training. you just install and say: call <name>
that's the main advantage of ms voice command in my opinion.
I haven't used it since WM2003, but on there it was like the friend I never had. You can say things like "What are my appointments today", "Play jazz music" etc. Quite versatile. Quite resource heavy though.

Hi There Professionals,
I was enjoying Cyberon voice speed dial very much with my k-jam.
I removed the Cyberon Voice Commander that came with my new trinity in order to put the good old Voice speed dial - But then.......
First problem - it wasn't registered as a program so the push and talk button on the right side of the trinity couldn't be set to activate it - SOLVED! - I planted a link to the program in the start menu and associated the button to it.
But the main problem still exists. Now as I tap my Bluetooth headset, it just opens the system dialpad (instead of the Voice speed dial listening app.).
Can this issue be resolved? How do I associate the headset one tap voice dial activation command to start the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial Software?
Many Thanks
Alon
Reg Hack
You need to hack the registry to fix this. There have been dozens of similar posts.
Go to HOTKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/
You need to set the "Path" key to point to your Voice Speed Dial program. This is what it looks like for Voice Commander:
\Program Files\Cyberon\VoiceCommander\Voicecommander.exe
I can't remember what the exe file is for Voice Speed Dial, so you will need to find that and set the path accordingly.
If the String Value called Path is not there, you will need to add it. This will ensure that when you hit the button on your BT Headset, this program will start.
re:
It's All set - actually, the "voice speed dial" installation must have planted it Value name: Path
Value data: \Windows\SDDialer.exe
and still the headset opens the system dialpad.
did someone manage to set this for the trinity ?
Please help me.

Hi,
I finally got my Universal! (Hurray!!!)
First thing I did was to upgrade it to Jwrightmcps' WM6. So far all is OK.
Now I have a (stupid) question: how do I use Voice Dial with my Parrot carkit?
My carkit was working fine with my Qtek 9090. With this phone I had to create voice tag's on the carkit.
Now with the Universal, the carkit will recognize that it is a phone capable of voice dialing an will simply pass that task to the phone.
Because I don't have a manual, I don't know which commands are accepted. Also, I live in Portugal and though I do speak English, it seems that the phone does not recognize what I say to it well enough...
My questions:
- which keywords/commands are accepted
- is there a way of training the voice recognition
- how to I make a call to a Speed-Dial contact by voice
- is it possible to install a different language pack for voice recognition
- is it possible to uninstall voice recognition, so that my Parrot carkit uses it's own voice recognition instead
Thanks,
vma
universal manual
Try googling "htc universal manual".

Hi,
The link was very interesting. Thanks.
However, it did not contain answers to any of my questions...
Cheers,

manual
Sorry about that but you did say you were without a manual & I presumed that the manual, which was linked on that page, would answer questions 1,2 & 3 out of the 5.
As for your final 2 questions I'm sorry but I don't know the answer.
Just trying to help
Hi, no hard feelings! lol
The manual essentially explains how to dismantle the whole phone.
Perhaps I explained myself wrong: what keywords can you speak to the phone, so that it does something?
Cheers,

I'm probably talking about something completely different as I have prophet (what am I doing on Universal thread?)
Prophet has Cyberon Voice Speed Dial which also launches apps.
Sorry if the following is irrelevant
Using Voice Speed Dial
You can record voice tags so that you can dial a phone number or launch programs simply
by speaking a word.
Create a voice tag for a phone number
1. Tap Start > Contacts to open the Contacts list.
2. Do one of the following:
• Tap and hold the desired contact, then tap Add Voice Tag.
• Select the desired contact, then tap Menu > Add Voice Tag.
• Tap the desired contact to open the contact’s detailed screen, then tap Menu > Add
Voice Tag.
Select the desired
phone number.
Tap the Record button
to start recording.
3. Select the phone number that you want to create a voice tag, then tap the Record
button ( ).
4. When completed, a Voice Tag icon ( ) will be displayed on the right of the item.
5. When you create a voice tag for the item, you can do one of the following:
• Tap the Record button ( ) to rebuild the voice tag.
• Tap the Play button ( ) to play the voice tag.
• Tap the Delete button ( ) to delete the voice tag.
Voice tag icon
Control buttons
Tip To ensure voice recognition accuracy, please record your voice in a quiet place.
Create a voice tag for a program
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Voice
Speed Dial.
2. The Application tab displays a list of all
installed programs on your device. The
procedure for creating a voice tag for a program
is the same as the procedure for creating a
voice tag for a phone number.
3. After you have created a voice tag for a
program, you can then launch the program by
saying the recorded voice tag after tapping
Start > Programs > Voice Speed Dial.
Using Other Applications 161
Make a call or launch programs using a voice tag
1. Tap Start > Programs > Voice Speed Dial.
2. After a “beep” sound, say the recorded voice tag that you have assigned to the phone
number you want to call or the program you want to launch. The system will repeat the
voice tag and then dial out or launch the program automatically.
Note If the system cannot recognize your voice tag, please speak clearly and reduce the surrounding
noise. Then, try again.
To view and test the voice tags you have created
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Voice Speed Dial.
2. The Voice Tag tab displays a list that contains all the voice tags you have created.
Select an item in the list, and you can do one of the following:
• Tap the Record button ( ) to rebuild the voice tag.
• Tap the Play button ( ) to play the voice tag.
• Tap the Delete button ( ) to delete the voice tag.
I seem to have figured it out by myself:
If I say "HELP", my Universal will actually speak to me and tell me all the available options.
If I say "HELP PHONE" it will tell me that I can say "CALL contact" or "DIAL number".
It is actually amusing to be speaking with your phone for a change:
"CALL XYZ"
"do you want to call ABC?"
"NO"
"try again"
"CALL XYZ"
"XYZ has mobile and work"
"MOBILE"
"calling..."
Cool stuff! Does not work all that well, however. At least I don't have to teach voice tags again...
Cheers,
vma
Im not a developer, only here to point out couple of things:
1. speed dial is replaced with 'favorites' and shortcuts to direct dial? I'm running a rooted 1.6 on HTC Mytouch 3g and there is still no sign of built in speed dial in sight
2. My bluetooth headset BlueAnt has built in voice commands for speed dial "dial speeddial 1" dials voicemail no problem, appears to be hardcoded by HTC.. but saying a command 'speeddial 3' for example would dial the 3rd entry from the call log - hence goodbye the ability to dial a saved preset # without having to reach for the phone, unlocking the screen, changing the other desktop with speeddial shortcuts etc... so much for effiency
Funny thing that feature works on any other phone with built in bluetooth: nokias, blackberries etc... Hope you guys don't let Google skip adding traditional phone features:
* hope somebody adds a setting to the dialer so users can choose the dialer to popup instead of the call log when pressing a 'call' button.
Simple things make the life enjoyable
As this is a touch-screen phone... you must remember that all features that once used hard-buttons are being phased out by: voice dial, direct dial shortcuts, contact photo shortcuts, etc. You'll find that the quick-search is a one-stop access to most anything with your voice.
Why the Blue-Ant headset wouldn't access these the same way as any other bluetooth headset is beyond me.
