Hi, as a newbie on the forum and recently taking delivery of the X1, can somebody please tell me how you set up voice tags on this phone. On my Touch Pro, you could dial your contacts voice commands, but I cannot find this feature on the X1. Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
You need an app to do it. Microsoft Voice Command and Vito VoiceDialler are popular. There's also Vito Voice Control.
Microsoft Voice Command doesn't need any training which I think is a big plus in its favour, and it's quite cheap. It should of course be built into the OS.
Thanks for the quick response. As you say, its a pity it wasn't included.
According to Sony Ericsson X1 support site voice control is included but I cannot find any refernce to it on the phone

Hi!
Anyone has tried the above voicedial programs? Which is the best in terms of name recognition accuracy?
Lets talk about the LATEST version, MSVC v1.5 vs Fonix VoiceDial v2.0 Vito VoiceDialer v3.5, ok?
Thanks
You should also include Cyberon Voice Commander. Its a great program since you train it to recognize your own voice along with your unique accents or intonations. And it also opens programs.

I would definately reccomend staying AWAY from MSVC v1.5..
I purchased retail CD and install on my device. While the software itself seems to work as advertised- I have problems with MS Voice Command DISABLING other features on my device:
I have made multiple calls to Microsoft Tech Support- and they acknowladge my problems are due to the voice command software- but have no fix available...
Specifically, If I have MSVC installed on my device, My bluetooth radio CANNOT turn on, due to a bug/software glitch in MSVC.
I have tried the FONIX software free trial and worked freat- AND my bluetooth radio was not affected!!
Microsoft refuses to refund my defective software and of course the retail store will not accept open software for refund...
So do to Microsoft Software Bug, I am out nearly $50.00 US.
Good luck 2 all!!

babj615,
MSVC v1.5 has no problem working on my O2 XDA II and has no conflict with any of my programs so far.
On the contrary, Fonix's name recognition is worse than MSVC. Also, you've to shout rather loud into the mic for Fonix to recognize a name. I say you should stay from Fonix instead.
Microsoft voice command 1.5 works
Good experience with MS Voice Command so far.
No problems interfering with other apps; pretty good voice recognition.
Only one problem VC does not seem to work when some other apps are opened.

It's fine for me - so long as you turn on AGC in the settings... else it can't hear you (bless it).
i found an awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones. It was designed on a WM 5 verison. i tired it on my X1, it worked well, i could use all functions like calling a contact, starting up and app, finding out my next appointment and so on but just giving simple voice requests and the it use to reply back. the only problem was that when i recieved a call..the voice would not work (as its suppose to tell me who's calling).
does anyone know of a full voice command program fully compatiable on the X1 as this one works brillantly on HTC's and omnia's but not the X1.
Please let me know how it works or if anyone knows of a better voice command program for the X1 or WM6.1 specifically. thanks.
Care to share the name of that "awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones"?
They are talking about Microsoft's Voice Command. The issue of not announcing incoming calls is well known on the X1 and, as far as I know, there is not fix for it.
Sadly, while other companies have tried to implement voice control software of their own, they are never quite as good as Microsoft's version.
OMG giefv plx !!!
wait a second, i feel a disturbance in the search function
thanks for the replies..it is the Microsoft voice command. but i did some research on it now and yes the incoming call annoucements are an issue on the X1. also after i installed the MSVC..my screen started flickering non-stop even after a soft-reset. i had to unistall it and reset..after 4 restarts it worked fine again.
its an awesome program if it worked 100%!!
ive used MVC for a while now on my x1, its cool i have it set up on right hardware button. Best feature for me is it reads text messages outloud ( turn sms ringtone off) great program
I search a lot for a simple voice recognition software just to call people, but I have found nothing...lots of people say that a software like this cannot works on WM devices because of low CPU power of ours PDAs, but I do not agree with these people, and I explain you why.
I have a parrot bluetooth hands-free car kit and with its small CPU, it can recognise the name I want to call, and I do not have to pre-register each name, it simply recognise my voice when I want call someone. I do not understand why all ours powerfull PDA cannot handle a work like this...
Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 works fine for this..

but it works only for english people, while parrot has made other languages version because it recognise my italian contact...I tried MSVC, it works, but I have to guess how an english person would say my contacts name in english...and in this way it is not usable
Anyone ported this yet its soooo badly needed =[ cant believe ipod 3gs and blackberries both have this functionality but diamond doesn't!! anyone know of an app that can do this?
as you can see on the website http://www.vlingo.com/ there is a beta test for win mobile
if you looked closely would see is for only selected windows mobiles, not for diamond, does not allow install ^^
I'm just wondering whats the difference between vlingo and other voice to action software that is already available for WinMo?
Such as:
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
Microsoft Voice Command
because they are both basic and dull for instance windows voice command can do the odd task taking you to some application or opening up your contacts but vlingo is allot more intelligent.. so you could say "text david, hello i will be there soon" and it will write a text saying that to david... its awesome =]

Probably the difference is that Vlingo is more shiny like everything for iPhone.
Well, after 3 weeks of investigation, I made it. ))) On my device HTC Desire HD + BT Jabra JX10 it works pretty good. You should buy Cyberon Voice Commander 3.0 on US Market (if you nonUS resident - use market enabler or other trick), and after that you can run voice dialer with key on BT hendsfree even on blocked device. By the way, for experiment sake, before buying, try to use chinese version of Cyberon, to be sure that it works with your BT Handsfree.

Well this is really pathetic imho... Already the LastMillennium's Nokia 6600 had voice dialing and now we have to put the Cyberon WindowsMobile workaround on a 2010 device? Fail... Someone please crack the ****ty Google License and return the functionality to us . I feel like donating cash to it. Or is it only applicable on customRomed and rooted phones?
Cyberon said that there are more than 10 language versions of Cyberon Voice Commander, but I can see one on Android Market only. It's an excellent application that really supports Froyo's Bluetooth voice dialing in my native language.
Well searching "Cyberon" returned only some Asian symbols...
Look that: http://www.appbrain.com/app/cyberon-voice-commander(us)/com.cyberon.cvc.AME
This is US version.
