Microsoft Voice Command 1.50

When I receive a call, voice command announces it as it should, lowering the ringtone volume to announce over the top of it, problem is, it's reducing the volume too much, and I can't hear it speaking...
Does anyone know a way of:
a. Preventing voice command from lowering the volume at all?
b. Increasing the gain on voice command's announcements?
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

hah, when i used MS voice command my problem was that it didn't lower the ringtone enough.
I have no clue how to do what ur asking for, after a while i just turned my ringtone off and just had the announce of the name and number.

I got this CAB file from another post.
It did the trick for me.

Hi,
Start Menu->Settings->Voice Command
Choose Phone, then click Options, Remove checkbox to 'announce incoming calls'. Now your ringtone will rin normally.

The problem is that I want the nice lady to announce the name of my caller, and I want the phone to play the ringtone I have set

What does this cab file do? is it modification to Voice command, or is a simple registry hack?

Hello
Use any registry editor like resco and do the following
Goto current user
Then control panel
Then sound categories
Then voicecommand1
And change the atenuationcategory from 3 to 1
That will do the thing. The lady will be louder.

Theses suggestions seem to make little or no difference, the only change seems to be that the music isn't turned down as much.
I've tried manually making the changes, and running/instaling the cab file "MPIIIMan" presented me with.
Is there any way I can physically change the program to increase the gain? I don't mind if I have to dissassemble code or anything to make changes, but i'd like to get it sorted...
I'd use cyberon, but I can't find ANY working links for it on either Limewire, IRC, or any websites, either the full program or a demo... Has it dissappeared from existance???

This worked for me. Made the lady louder - ringtone volume remained the same. Thanks.
BTW, I noticed there's another setting in that registry key called "initvol" and it's said to 5. My best guess would be initial volume? Anyone try playing with that to see what that does?

Can you explain exactly what htis cab does, or maybe link us to its original post?

I got this cab file from another post.
You would have just as much luck finding it as I would.
I believe it's just a registry edit
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:00000001
"InitVol"=dword:00000005
"Script"="p"

New Tytn Owner: some question

Hi everyone,
last week i got my new Tytn (italian version).
I'm not new in WM5 devices, my last device was a K-jam.
Now i can't remember some things that was very usefull with my K-jam, like:
1. where i can get the cab file that enables the BT icon in today(in the bottom)?
2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?
4. and also where i can get a freeware registry util?
Thanks everyone

well, I can answer a few for you:
BT Icon in Today?

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=241898&hl=

i've downloaded the related .cab file, soft reset but nothing changed.
it doesn't work.
I also remeber that there is a third part software that also enable the vibratign pad, can someone remeber the name?

There's an application mentioned in the post I linked to above.
Check the first reply.
EDIT: Here it is... http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/d9.shtml

Yes, thanks for the link.
but i don't like the graphic of the pad. i'd like a plug-in for the existing pad or maybe something graphically better that the existing one.
thanks

2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very easy to do - slightly undocumented feature
Navigate into the \Application Data\Sounds\ folder on your phone and drop the MP3 there - it will then show up in your ringtone list
I tend to edit the mp3's down to about 30 seconds of the song I want and save them as mono and at a low bitrate so they don't take up a lot of space on the phone but you don't have to do this - just realize that if you put a bunch of MP3's on there, you'll fill up your internal storage pretty quickly if you don't, but if you just want one there it shouldn't be a big deal.

yes i know this feature.... but how i can do it to use an MP3 as SMS allert?
thanks

Microphone accessory - button for Voice Command

If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks

I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart

Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.

So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Take a look at here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\<what ever program>.exe"
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:0
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:a
I am going to include Cyberon VC 2.0 in my rom but it will be Cantonese since it's my native language.

So, to recap the request was for a way to use the Microphone button as the Voice Command button...

What is this goint to change? I searched the registry for a way to use th mic-headset-button as a remote for my X1...which means to map a button, application, etc to it. Is this the way to do so?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

But this doesn't have anything to do with the microphone button.

Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

pearls before swine mate....
there are some new members on here lately who need to learn that when a more ePerienced member gives them advice they arent doing it because they like the sound of their own voice
at45 theres a good reason why people keep saying read and search, and quite a lot of it is to do with the attitude you've shown here.here.

Thanks guys!!!
I've been looking for this for quite a while. Really Thanks! Now just need to try to map this button as next rack in Mortplayer...If i found the way, I'll post it here!

Wait, I'm being criticised for being rude and not searching?

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.

Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

Thats it. Run Mortplayer and give it a try, works perfect for me!

It seems I will install MortPlayer on my X1. Or is there a possibility to do the same with the media panel?

Can you tell me where in the settings you change soft buttons. Is it Settings/Buttons? I am not sure what the 6 buttons represent. I have searched for an explanation but haven't found one.

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.

Thanks but NOT work in rhodius with Italian rom. Have you news about?

@ronny06 Apparently the new version works on German roms. Should work on Italian as well now.
@ninja.rogue Thanks for the write up in another forum mate.

I have a Rhodium with Dutch stock rom, and installed ARC.
In the root of my SD I put an empty folder named Opnames (Dutch for recordings)
At first I set the path to \Storage Card\Opnames\ but then it prompted with a message cannot find path... ah right... so I changed the path to \Opslagkaart\Opnames\ (Thats how the SD is called in Dutch). But now when I enable ACR I get this DirectoryNotFoundException.... but I even get this when I set the path to \
Any ideas?

that application does not work for me either.
try installing the cab from here.
that cab does nothing but adding some keys to the registry.
the result of that is that you can 2way record calls with any arbitrary application. additionally you got a new entry in the right softkey menu in your dialer allowing recording.

Very very excellent works great with Italian Rom.
Many thanks

I get different results everyday..
First time, it records but didn't save with the caller name (thought caller ID did pickup a name on from my contact list). It also gives an error about .NET CF which I have already install 3.5 way back.
Second time, it save 2 same audio file with 2 different file names. One was file name saved with caller name, the other just some generic name. Both files same recording.
Today didn't work. I believe it hung.. even after soft resets, it still hangs.. why I said it hung? Because on calls, once my screen goes blank, when I put the phone to my ears, the screen doesn't show up even after I put the phone away from my face or end the call. I have to restart my TP2. When try again, same thing. And also no recordings saved at all. When I uninstall, my proximity autodetect screen worked again as normal.

Tried this app together with Resco Audio to automatically record the calls, but ...
When I call someone all is great and the record includes both my and the other voice.
When someone calls me, I can hear them, but they cannot hear me!
Disabled Resco for the moment and I'll see if this helps. (But now I do not have any automatically recordings)

In Call Recording Activated in the Reg.

Hi, all. Last night I came across a couple of reg setting's that added an extra option when making a phone call.
Here is the main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Change value from 0 to 1.
Also change to the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Reboot phone.
Then make a Phone call then press right softkey (Menu) and Record appears as an option. Press it and the phone plays a sound (indicating beginning of recording) and phone returns to normal in call screen. When call is hung up or you press stop recording in the menu. Another sound plays. Go to notes under My Documents on Phone and there is a time and date stamped audio file.
I have not fully gone there with this yet as I'm at work (long weekend/ 8am sat till 6pm Mon) But will let you know of any progress as and if I get any.
Bye for now.
Phil
Note
Sorry for basic path error, I'm working right now and am just popping in from time to time. Sorry once again.

Diigibio,
I believe the other registry keys to be modified may be the following:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"RingingAdressId"=dword:00000000
[HKLM\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Nonetheless, despite these modifications, it appears that the recording is not totally perfect with some software, such as Vito Audio Notes Touch (the voice of the callee is too low)
...

Thanks for posting this. Needs to get added to the hints and tips sticky.
The key is actually at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR on my HD2

Cheers,
tried it on a German stock 1.43 ROM, RECORD option does not appear in the menu even after soft reset.
And BTW, the correct path would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Best regards

Graf,
Try this cab.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
It works on my HD2.

Also it only appears in the menu once a call had been started. This id built in to rom without external programlike vito or Resco recorders. When I'm able to get my laptop out, I'll post a screenie.

I installed "2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording cab" and it still didn't work on mine. It only records the incoming voice. Should i have tried "2_Way_Recording" cab instead ?
I tried ACR, Resco, Vito. Always the same bug :\
I've got the official ROM.

Did you also make the changes in the registry as mentioned above?
Normally during a phone call you can go into the menu and check 'recording'.

No i haven't, but i will. Can you confirm me i took the right CAB ? There are two.
Do these reg tweaks apply onlu for the built-in Windows Mobile recording option ? I'm looking for one which does the job automaticaly (not the case of this one apparently). So i wish to use Resco.

I remember this reg tweak back with the Blackstone. I tried it on the HD2 but the sound quality is very low and poor. Is there anything else that can be done to improve it? Once all is good I will add to hints and tips thread.

tboy, thanks.
That would be very helpful.
The above registry tweaks do work, and phone conversations can be recorded. The only thing we shall improve is the low sound quality.
There must be a registry for the volume level too.

So. . .
I have done this tweak on my device,
with all the additional info and Reg Changes also.
The recording of my voice is crisp and clear, while the recording of the other person is very weak (low volume) and noisy.
I think I read on another thread that someone else encountered a similar problem.
So my question is - is there anything else I should do to improve the recording quality of the other person ?
Is there anyone else still having the same problem ?
Thanks.

I too have done the various reg edits and although it seems to work (there is a record option when making a call, a sound plays and a file is generated) the output file doesn't contain either outgoing or incoming sound!
I had to create the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice" since it didn't exist, I wonder if this has any bearing on the matter?
I also initiated recording before I was connected to the other end, maybe that's my problem.
I will try only activating record once I'm connected and I will also give that cab a whirl, and report back

il be keeping an eye on this one,

Let us know if it works, and on both sides !
Cheers.

Steps I took
Hey all,
I though I'd give this a shot. I changed the Main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR from 0 to 1.
However I didn't have the folder/key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice So I created it!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
It all seems to work, the menu option appears and I get the sound when recording starts, however it's very quiet.
One way around this is to put the phone on load speak. Then the recording is clear.
Hope this helps.

Does it work if you only edit EnableICR 0 to 1 or do you have to create Voice folder and these 2 reg keys, for which we are not sure if are working because we dont alerady have them originally?
