Is it possible to use voice dialing? It would help with this problem of having to open the case to use the phone if I could set it to use voice commands. I see someone has referred to voice commands on the xda 1, but I can't find it in the help file, even though this is quite a standard facility on ordinary mobile phones.

Here it is for you:
http://microsoft.handango.com/Platf...30&productType=2&platformId=2&productId=90635
I am using it, and I love it.
but it cost money
there are a great many features that normal cellphones support that xda's dont
i suppose this is because as i see it the xda is a pda with cellphone not a cellphone with pda
not sure of smartphones are closer to cellphones optionwise but would suspect that they are
you are correct - it is a PDA with cell phone functionality... but it is worth it...
In regards to the MS Voice Dialing - one of the pluses - you do not have to do "tagging" - it will recognize the name from the Contacts... another very good feature - you can actually dial the number (like DIAL 5551212) and it will dial for you.
.... not if you are in UK (Amazingly) Windows 2003 does not support telephone numbers beginning with 0. Wouldn't you have thought that Bill would have at least spared a thought for us 52million citizens?

Can you explain further what you mean by this.
Quote from Microsoft Voice Command User's Guide
"International dialing formats (or dialiing any number starting with a 0 (zero)) are not supported; to dial an unsupported number format, you can create a contact with the number and then call that contact)"
Also voice command seems only to accept 7 digit or 10 digit numbers. They say that it will accept a 1+10-digit number, but what I think they mean by this is the numeral 1 at the begining. So most UK mobile (actually you have to say 'moble' for the lady to recognise it) numbers are too long as are all the landline numbers.

I've just installed FONIX VOICE DIAL into the XDA II and it works flawlessly!
It doesn't tell you what meetings you have next or launch applications (ala MS Voice Command) but I don't need all that. All I wanted was a voice dialer for when I'm driving and this software does it perfectly.
Voice Dialing can be done either by referencing your contact list "Call Adam Smith mobile" or you can use "Dial 001160343437656". No training is required but you can fine tune the voice recognition (haven't tried this yet).
Highly recommended.

Have you tried neuvoice navigator.
Supposed to work well in noisy environments, but does require voice tag setup.

only $9.99
Fonix flop
Bought and installed Fonix and dumped off MS Voice Commander, but Fonix is MUCH worse. I ended up shouting at the nice man inside my XDA2

Hi,
I am looking for an application running on my Magician (VPA compact) that works as a local answering maschine. It should, when reception of course, be able to receive a call, play a prerecorded message and record the caller. From a technical point of you, there should not be any problem. But I could not find any application providing this service.
Maybe one of you global guys heard something?

try using search it's been asked many many times before
Hi,
yeah I know, couldnt find any message anyway. And it was more a :
"Any updates, anything new?" as there never was a software, but there may be now, as software can be written and it wasnt a HW related question. But thanks for your input.
regards
Marco
answering machine prob gave more hits then voice mail
as far as i know there is no such thing and some people say it's impossible
to make on xda's

Does anyone know of any software that will announce the number of an incoming caller?? I would prefer free.. i did a quick search around and all i really found was software to announce the name, but i dont want the name.

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.

ive tried the voice command software that came with my hd2. and works really well. i cant get it to compose a text message or email... does the preinstalled voice command allow us to compose a text message by voice? are you guys using tell me? which app is the best app for controlling media, text messages,opening programs, calling contacts, viewing appoinments etc with the hd2?
Thank You
Voice cammand is great, Tellme not so much
Voice command, as you may have already learned, works great with no training. You can voice dial, control media playback, hear your next appointment, and have callers annouced through your BT. Absolutely essential for me while driving. It will not allow you to dictate texts however. Thats really the piece that I was hoping Tellme would fill in, but it just doesn't seem to work as advertised on their website. To be fair, I've never seen it used on a device that came with it installed. It might work like a champ on those handsets, but it's never worked at all for me.
EDIT: I see you can't edit the title of your post. . .
Voicecommand not announcing bluetooth?
Crissg. In your reply you mention Microsoft Voicecommand announcing callers in bluetooth headset. Have you gotten that feature to work? I tried to get it to announce calls through bluetooth for two days with no success. Does yours work. If so how did you set it up.

Hi! As a "newby", I can't find any voice command on my HD2. Is it buried somewhere or was it a download. I'm in GB with Vodafone. LOVE MY HD2!!
Thanks!!!
wlm... start, settings, menu, all settings, personal, voice command.
in regards to settings as wlm wrote. is it ok for us to make a folder named control panel, and cut all our settings programs and move them to the control panel folder? anyone do this before?

Not sure. Making a folder with shortcuts to the setting might work, but personally I wouldn't think about moving that stuff from where it lives.

No set up needed other than ticking the option in the settings menu.

It is a download. Do a search and you will find plenty.
I can make the VC work on the phone just fine, but I have an ANT in the car, for BT.
When I try to talk with no car noise, or with car noise, the phone goes stupid, does nothing, well, beeps some kind of talk back, like dumb ass I did not understand you
Tried everything to get bluetooth voice announce
Crissg, I have checked the box to announce calls actually spent two days with Tmobile tech trying to get Voicecommand to announce over bluetooth but no luck. That is why I was wondering if you have this working on your phone. If so did you do any registry changes. I tried everything
Hi CRISSG,
Thanks - tried to locate it, but it's not there. Must be a download. Is the one you are using a WM app? IF so, where did you find it? There seem to be many apps - some with real problems, and I don't want to go that route!! HTC HD2, on Vodafone.. THANKS!!!!!!!
It is there in the T-Mobile US ROM, my understanding is that not all ROMs include it by default.
It came preinstalled

Looks like the files are in the Windows directory of the device. I'm not educated enough to pull it out in a usable fashion. Have you checked the ROM threads? Possibly one of the chefs has already cabbed it up?
I just realized that I'm almost always the one doing the calling from the car, and I hadn't actually recieved a call on the new HD2 (while driving) to verify the annoucement function yet. I just tested it, and it is ringing in the s9 headset, but annoucement comes over the speaker. Interesting. Commands for calls and media and calendar are working fine. As soon as I can get my wife off her phone, I'll get her to text me while I've got the headset on to test that as well.
Edit: It plays the assigned sound for recieving a text over the headset, but is not announcing the message like it did on my Tilt. Sorry if I gave the impression that it was. Like I said, I use it every day, but I make way more calls than I recieve when I'm in the car. Now I'm with you guys wondering why we've lost funtions that we had before.
Edit #2 Was just in the car, and got a text. It was announced through my Jabra earpiece. So it might have something to do with the BT profile being used, as annoucements didn't work with the s9 that I use around the house.

Regretfully in my HD2 , T8585, ROM: 1.48.405.2(71294), Manila:2.5.19211619.0
- there is no such option at all in the
above mentioned path: start, settings, menu, all settings, personal, voice command.
another HD2 n00b
I have been trying for a few days no to get voice set up. I too am UK with vodafone. No voice buit in. I have bought retail MS voice command 1.6 and it fails to install. Cyberon voice speed dial installs. The next problem I have is that, I want to be able to trigger voice calls vial my bluetooth headset. (plantronics 370 explorer) Neither this or my old Jawbone bt headset will trigger voice calls.
I really want to get the MS voice command to work as it looks great and ou don't need to train it. Any help really appreciated..
For all the uk users just do a Google search for microsoft msvc 1.6.21725
I am using this on my HD2 with no problems.
Announcements of callers doesn't work though.
Thats great thanks for this. Appeared to install fine. Not sure if it insatlled right though. I can find it in setting>other>voice command. Looks only to be settings in here. I can't get it to run or prompt for voice.
try pressing and holding the green send key
Thanks for this. I have a green "Talk" button when in phone. Pressing this or long press just call the last number.
The button on my Jawbone activate the voice, which is cool, but the button on the plantronics explorer still does nothing. I guess it is something incompatible with this. Typical eh as this is my favourite headset for out walking. It is great on a windy day.
