Microsoft Voice Command does it very clear, it will start your normal ringtone and then lower the volumne of your ring tone and then it says whos calling.

I know, NONE want the callers name announced, a lot of my friend even HATE the appearance of full name on LCD during a phone call, so they use a "code" to put the names in ( JSHMob coud mean John Smith HTC ...)
May be the programmer and SW analists are too young to know those business problems!
Yah, MS Voice Command announces the names and sometimes its at inapropriate times or i'm with the wrong people and everyone knows whos calling me... put me in some awkward situations.
If voice command 1.6 worked properly with the hermes you could set it to announce only over the bluetooth headset. Someone has been working on this over at ppcgeeks and made a lot of people happy, however I have yet to get it to work on my cingular 8525.

Mine usually does, but NOT over Bluetooth headset (that's explained in the documentation). However, if the calling number isn't identifiable (e.g., no caller ID), it won't announce anything at all. I've also noticed that sometimes it stops announcing incoming calls altogether; probably a reset will help, or perhaps it doesn't announce when ActiveSync or other connections are in operation, not sure...I'll keep an eye on mine and let you know. In any case, it can be spotty, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Cheers,

sorry if this sounded wrong but crap referes to the problem & not the forum, am here since 2 years, i have provided solution & would never leave this forum
anyhow i went back to 1.5 its perfect, untill someone figures the problem i will install 1.6 back
regards
I as well am runnin 1.6 and names get annouced, but not thru bluetooth either I must've missed that in the documentation because it is set to bluetooth. But even "unknown callers" have their numbers read out aloud
On my Nokia N95 it would say the name of the person calling me. Can you do this on the X1 ?
do you mean like displaying the name of the person, even if their not saved in your contact list? like how the caller id does on a home phone?

No, the phone would speak out the name of the person calling. So if Joe Blogs called my on my N95 I would hear 'ring, ring, Joe Blogs, ring ring, Joe Blogs...........'
well...back on my blackjack II, i remember when i upgraded from wm 6.0 to 6.1, there was a new program up there called "Voice Command" that allowed you to do this. So I'm guessing it'd still work on the X1 since its an official microsoft program. So just try googling "Windows Voice Command"
Yes, get "Microsoft Voice Commad" and check the settings. By default it should be set to bluetooth only, but you can change it so it reads the name even without the bluetooth. I like it a lot with bluetooth, cause you can set it to also read your text to you
Yeah, but I can't find an answer if the BT on the X1a and MSVC has the same issue as on the Touch Pro, where if you have it say the name of the incoming caller, it won't. You get a corruption sound. Normally that a bell sound. So normally you get "<your ringtone> and in the background of the ringtone, you hear "you got a call from 888-8888"" Or instead of the phone#, you hear the name if its in your address book.
When its broken, you hear your ringtone and in the background a small beep"
here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/about-voice-command.mspx
give it a try and let us know.
even i like that feature on nokia phones
My Voice Command doesn't work properly on incoming calls either. It doesn't say the name of the caller, or even the telephone number. I have seen it work perfectly on an Omnia. Odd that it doesn't work on the X1!

i am in fact looking for this?
my previous phone use to display name of the callers, even if they werent stored in my contacts
how can i get this to work on my x1?
much apperciated
You need MS Voice Command or something similar for X1 to talk.
The current version of MS Voice Command combined with the current WM6.1 build does not announce Caller ID even though the feature is there. Reasons...I don't know. All of the other voice funtionality works great though, including reading of SMS and MMS messages among other things.
caller anouncement doesnt work on the x1 and i dont think anyones has come up with a solution to it yet.
Same
It attenuates my rintone every so often as if it's going to say the name but it never does.
Certain versions of WM don't support caller announcement. I think it is explained on the MS website for Voice Command.
For the life of me, I can't find where to edit the responses without actually editing it when I'm receiving a call. Does anyone know where to find the list of responses for this so I can add a few? TIA
settings --> call settings -->All Calls -->> Reject Call With Message
You can add a message and edit/delete message by hitting the menu button.

Google Voice has the option to mark numbers as spam, so when I have to use my phone to call people I don't necessarily want to be able to call me back I use it and if there is a problem google Voice eliminates it. I don't give out my t-mobile number because then people will bother me.
Fortunately the person who i rejected with a text was not bright and asked who was texting. I apologized and said "Sarah", they said they didn't know a Sarah and I said oh, sorry wrong number... Then I called them back from GV later that night.
My friend's Moto Droid X has a feature where when somebody calls him, in a synthesized voice, it announces the name on the caller ID. For instance, when his GF calls him, it says "Call from Alyssa" and then starts playing his ringtone. Is there a program for the EVO that does this?
