I have had a Jabra BT Headset for a couple of years and it works well. I have recently purchased a XCarLink with BT and am now using this in my car instead of the headset. One thing that I liked about the headset was how it worked with M$ Voice Command - i.e. press the 'Talk' button and Voice Command would start and you could say 'call xxx' etc. With the XCarLink if I press the 'Talk' button this justs stops any music that was playing but doesn't start Voice Command.
Is there any tweak I can apply to get this behaviour?

More testing......
I have been doing some more testing with this as the Jabra BT headset stopped activating Voice Command...
Anyway I have tested a couple of different versions of Voice Command (1.6.19214 & the one from the Diamond 1.6.19581) and both behave the same. If A2DP Joint Stereo is enabled (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings - UseJointStereo=1) then the 'Talk' button on the BT headset no longer activates Voice Command. If Joint Stereo is disabled the 'Talk' button activates Voice Command (after a soft-reset).
I haven't had time to check the behaviour with the XCarLink but I will post the results when I do.
If anyone has any experience with this or knows a fix then I'd appreciate it.

Anyone been able to get voice dialling working from the Xcarlink? I just bought one and am having the same problems.

My "old" P800 was able to announce who was calling in my Bluetooth headset. After pushing a button on my Bluetooth headset I was able to do voice dialling. It could even pick up the call without pushing a button on Bluetooth headset.
Can wm 2005 on the Prophet do all this?
I have this working on my Jamin without any hacks
Care to share how? I just got a JAMin. No mention of voice dial except by launching program and certainly no mention of BT button. Pairs with my Plantronics M3000 fine but BT button doeas nothing. Any ideas?

Query to Wardy about Bluetooth Headset & Voice command
Hi Wardy does your Jamin let you control MS Voice command using the button on the BT headset? Or do you have to press the voice command button on the PDA and then talk through the headset?
Voice Command, once it is installed on the Prophet, works just like it did on the Magician. However, the Prophet (at least in Jamin flavor) has an app that lets you create voice tags to control most of it's functions, and this app can be started by using the button on your bluetooth headset (and accepts audio from your bluetooth headset). There are a few limitations, though: you have to create a voice tag for every single item that you want it to launch... and you can't create a voice tag for Voice Command :?. In other words, it is (as far as I'm concerned) completely worthless :evil:

Hi no sorry I am using the supplied voice command software. Its not a problem for me putting voise dial numbers in and I believe it gives better recognition than text to speach. But that's my view
Hello, Anybody succeded in activating voice command by pushing on the standard talk button of the QTEK headset? i understand there is a solution for bluetooth devices, but i tried with the standard headset and apparently it doesn't work...i am using the fantastic 2.8 ROM....
i am also intresseted to do that.
Did anyone found a solution?
It seems that the standard "Talk" button on Qtek's headset is only good for picking up incomming calls. It is not similar to voice button on the device. I've desperatly searched for registry keys to change that.
Did anyone have any luck?
Thanks,
Rostylsav
This didn't work for me, but it's easy to roll back. Pasted from Howard Forum.

goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path". Change the default value from "\Windows\SDDialer.exe" to "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe".
Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset. My Scala headset beeps twice when it's ready for the Voice Command. My husbands Motorola headset beeps once when it's ready for the Voice Command.
Then you can also enable your bluetooth headset to receive music and other sound from your MDA by running the tweak "Enable Bluetooth Receive" using the Registry Wizard Program.
@glee719: This paste you did is about using Bluetooth headset for voice-dial.
The question is about the standard headset that goes with the Wizard . . . .
afaik the push-button on the headset works similar to the 'hook' buttons (green & red). Those do not trigger voicecommand either . . . .

Sorry to tell, it is not working for me, if i create a shortcut with "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe", and click on it, the voice command will lunch, however, putting the path in the reg, soft reset, press on buletooth handset doesn't work, any idea ?
By the way, how can we Set the microphone gain on the Wizard ? and how can we set the voice command to talk more and more louder ???
Yeah i'm interested to know how to make full use of the given headset, as i use it to listen to mp3 alot. The 'talk' button looks useless other than answering calls, unlike the w800i headset.
@rookery, this is NOT about the BT headset to activate VoiceCommand
Oh Sorry, did you mean the 2.5mm handfree, I don't have it in hand, does it work by the changing the reg key ???
hi to All,
useless to say i already tried the registry change for BT, and it didn't work for the STANDARD headset that is connected through the 2.5 mm jack. maybe, it is simply not possible.....
Is there a key for Talk button in the registry?
Does anyone know if there is a key for "Talk" button function in the registry?
We know there is one for BT headsets, but what about the conventional headset which comes with the device?
Anyone figure this out yet????????
Thanks
I posted the same on Howard-Forums but no reply :-(
Is there any specific profile that the bluetooth headset needs to support in order to use it with Microsoft Voice Command ?
I have an iTech R35 Clip bluetooth headset. The headset supports Hands Free, Headset and Wireless Stereo.
When I set it as Hands Free, wneh I receive a call I can hear on the headset who is calling but I can not answer the phone using the button on the headset (it does not do anything). When I set it as Headset, I can answer the phone but voice command does not announce who is calling.
Using both settings (Hands Free or Headset), when the phone is idle, pressing the button on the headset will activate voice command BUT I can only use the phone's mic to enter commands (it does not accepts commands using the headset's mic).
I have done all the registry hacks to de-activate the SDDialer and activate Microsoft's Voice Command.
So some questions:
- Anyone with the iTech R35 out there that successfully is using this headset with Tytn and Microsoft Voice command with the ability to "speak" commands on the headset's mic ???
- Anyone out there with any other stereo bluetooth headset (preferably with ear buds) that successfully is using MS Voice Command with their headset (including the ability to "speak" commands using the headset's mic)?
Read the wiki!
There tends to be no reply here if the subject has been covered thoroughly in the wiki. If you take a look at the TyTN wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils at the section marked Use MS Voice Command instead of the built-in Cyberon Voice Dialer and the corresponding forum thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59541 then you should find answers to most of your questions and more.
Have you tried the Cyberon Voice Commander program from the Dopod extended rom? I think MS Voice Command can be picky about headsets; i am using the full Cyberon prog with a Nokia HS-12W A2DP headset and just picked up a V-3 BTH8 headset and both work no problem with my TyTN for voice dialling and starting programs. It differs from VC in some functionality but for voice dialling they are basically the same.
Help. I have the sleuth ptt fix installed and all the bluetooth tweaks. However, the mic quality of my motorola h700 is terrible and my device (using voice command 1.6) rarely gets the contact or number right unless I hold my bluetooth mic in front of my mouth.
I have grown accustomed to using the included headset but the button on the headset activates voice speed dial instead of voice command. I can't figure out how to fix this so that the button activates voice command and can disconect when i am finished with a call.
Does anyone have a step-by-step way of removing that blasted Cyberon rubbish from the Ameo? I bought (having tried, um... other sources) MSVC 1.6 UK from Handango, wondering if perhaps a real EXE-from-PC install would somehow work "better", but same problems.
I had it working yesterday via BT headset to listen, but no notifications came through so commands were messed up. Removed it, and installed again; I've remapped the "Web 'n' Walk" key to activate it. Now what I don't understand is this:
Installed yesterday. No attempt to remove Cyberon:
Worked okay for a while. Worked with BT headset button. Didn't respond to commands from BSH-100 headphones, but they're junk anyway. Bluetooth started getting unreliable and wouldn't pair with Nokia BH-200 headset after working fine with it for an hour or so.
Removed MSVC. Reinstalled. It's in the startup folder and so forth. Button on wired headset triggers damn Voice Speed Dial. Haven't tried bluetooth yet. Responds to commands with hardware button, but no option exists to map command to wired headset button.
Removed Sddaemon startup item. STILL comes up when I use the wired headset button.
It's REALLY annoying and frustrating, as MS Voice Command DOES work effectively as a tool. It just doesn't, well, work. And I think nearly all of the problems it has are down to the presence of this Voice Speed Dial, which I will never use - I'm not recording voice tags for everything, this is the 21st Century!
Also, why doesn't TCPMP follow UI conventions?! It keeps starting up in portrait mode and won't fix itself unless I use the T-Mobile "screen rotation" icon.
EDIT:
Okay. I paired the Anycom headset to it.
As a Bluetooth headset, the button dials, makes calls, and if held, brings up Voice Commander. Notifications now come through the headset, and commands are definitely going to the device, but music is played through the unit, not the headphones.
As stereo headphones, the buttons work, but it doesn't hear commands from the microphone in the headphones - only via the built-in microphone. But music (with joint stereo enabled) comes through the headphones alright.
Other than that the Ameo definitely kicks arse, having GPS etc. built in is excellent. Is it really 802.11g, though - or is it like a hacked Universal with 802.11b speed pretending to be 802.11g?
