Best Voice Apps

Just wonder what voice apps are out there. I just recently tried Cybertron Voice Commander 2.0, but it seems to have issues picking up what I'm saying. Any one have some recommends with other voice apps out there???

Can you please post this type of question the General>General forum, instead of General>Development and Hacking
?
I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just saying...
Anyway, try Microsoft's Voice Command. I know, I know, just ignore that it's from Microsoft. Haha. Vito has an app called Voice2Go, that's another option, but I like Voice Command.

I use Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 UK version. It RTFO since the last version, they have really improved it. It even listens to me when I am drunk and swearing at it. Best one out there in my opinion. Reads your SMS's out to you too if you want. Full of win.

Voice Command all the way! You can, for the most part, completely control the device (open apps, get a read back of your appts for the day, media player) so I say go buy it.

I'm using voice commander now, but it has a hard time picking up what i'm saying. I find myself having to yell. I like how it has the option to use voice tags, it helps a bit, but it still has trouble when i try to get it to read me my appointments. i'm using voice commander 2.0 right now, i found it on this forum.

+1 for M$ Voice Command...

What's the diff between UK and US version??

I am using MS Voice Command and continually amazed by its performance. MS hit a homerun with this one!
Good luck

Hi again,
Unfortunately, as I have never owned the US version, I could not tell you. I can only say that I am an Australian with an Australian accent and it picks up everything I say perfectly.

The latest US version in the ROMs and Kitchens is v1.6.19209. What is your UK version number? (It's displayed on the main MSVC screen.)

The Ultimate Soution for Microsoft Voice Command!!!!!!!! :) :)

Like most of you out there. I was very frustrate with the available version of Microsoft Voice Command because it doesn't seem to work properly on the Diamond. I played around with it for a few days and found a mod that allow it to work, but it doesn't seem to work for other who read my post. So these last few day I been doing hunting only. I happen to find a very new release of Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 Build 1.6.9213 that was design to work with Window mobile 6.1.
Here is the link.
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=274611
This version of Voice Command will install properly on your Diamond and save you all the trouble of Modding.
Also, for those of you who criticize me so much, I'm not doing this for money or anything, just try to help the community.
Love more, don't hate
Well, now you can all finally throw away that junk Cyperon Speech Commander and have a good night of sleep.
Also, I check Dutty ROM 1.8. He seem to have version 1.6.9965 which seem to be very new. I been trying to hunt this version down but with no luck. Hopefully Dutty will unlock his ROM someday so I can extract it for everyone.

is this the one currently enabled on Dutty's Rom v1.8?

Well, well. Isn't it a lucky day for you folks out there. I finally got XDA MSVC_US_PPC 1.6.19209 (this is the latest version of Microsoft Voice Command) to work on HTC touch diamond!!!!
First of all how and where to get it (search engine...hint torrent)
Installation instruction.
1. After you got the Cab file, move it to your phone and run it from there
2. Installation is going to be complete with an error...
3. Press ok and close installation window.
4. use File Explorer to navigate to the Programfile/VoiceCommand
5. Copy the file called "voicecmd.exe" (hint: the one with the icon)
6. Navigate to MyDevice/Window/Startmenu/Program
7. Then tab and hold the sreen and paste as short cut there. Now you would be able to run MSVC 1.6 from the programs menu
8. You can now go to setting, and change the press long call button to use "voicecmd"
9. And voila, there you have it. Perfectly working MSVC
Here are the additional steps to make it work with your bluetooth headset.( also the credit in the bluetooth session belong to tommatt who make the first discovery of the solution)
- set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateWay -> SupportCLI to 1
- set HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand -> VoiceCmdEnable to 1
- Made a Softreset
Well, now you can all finally throw away that junk Cyperon Speech Commander and have a good night of sleep.

What is the exact error message you get under the installation??
I'm planing to modify the cab to work "out of the box" for the Diamond, but I don't have my phone here so I cant test the cab myself.

Duttys
I'm using the one on Duttys ROM and its pretty wicked
I expected it to be a bit naf but its just very good and practical too.

silly question but what does it do, the voice command that is?

allsorts
It allows you to call any contact by speaking into a headset or at the phone
f ex "call david smith" and it will ask you if you want to call his landline or mobile and you can confirm.
it allows you to launch any program..
f ex "open tomtom navigator" starts tomtom ...
allows you to play music.. list appointments..etc etc and all this with no 'voice training'
This page shows you what can be done with it

How do I enable a Long press on my handfree cable? Something like Ceb commander, it will activate the program when I had a long press on the handfree set

Hi. I've downloded the voice command application. But i'm having problems assigning a button for it. When i go into <settings, buttons> there arn't any buttons there for me to assign voicecmd to. Where do i get the buttons in the list from?

I beleive VC 1.6 comes on all WM6.1 ROMs now, if not HTC has been providing them for me in their ROMs. They have always worked well even over Bluetooh except on TI OMAPI devices.
This maybe helpful though for people with WM5 and older.

Wow, that is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got it working and it works pretty good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, you are a hero with interpunction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, one exclamation mark wouldn't have done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Voice Command is assigned to the "Hold" button... which is the "Hold" button anyway?
I have tried to press every button, but nothing happens...

Voice commander didn't work for me. When installation starts i get an error and installation does not create Programfile/VoiceCommand. May be my ROM is the problem?
Thanks
ROM 1.93.405.1WWE HTC Diamond

This is so crap. First I installed ms voice command and of course it wasnt good for me because names are in romanian and it only recognizez english names.
I modified something and now i cant get the original voice dialler to work with my bluetooth

My voice command works just fine with my Jawbone and Diamond CDMA

German Version
Hi.
I have installed the cab without any errors and it works fine. But it will be better for me to have a german version. It´s not so easy to pronounce the german last names in english. It would be nice, if someone could tell me, where to get a german version.
Thanks

Windows Mobile Voice Command on Xperia

Saw this and was really really impressed!!! Has anyone here tried this yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLAbwT521Fs
I can't wait to get my hands on Xperia.
And yes, i know this is not an Xperia only thing, but rather a Windows Mobile Software... but still!
Best regards.

about to try it.

tried it...works pretty well - it has settings to specifically announce stuff over bluetooth - will work a treat with my car I reckon.
Doesnt pick up my voice all that well though - mind you, i do have manflu at the mo.

Cool!
So tell me one thing, do you have to hit the button on the mobile each time to issue a command? Just wondering if it can sit dominant and not require you to hit a button first?

You need to press a button to attract its attention. This can be a button on a bluetooth headset, which is where the software really comes into its own.

Voice Command Xperia - Problem
Hi all VC working except that it does not read out the number/name on incoming calls. All the right boxes are ticked in the options as I have used MSVC for the past two years. Can anyone confirm this working or not on your Xperias. I have tried all the version for 6.1 roms. Thanks all.

I know this problem has been in existence for years (Tytn). See other threads for this problem on XDA, sorry, can't provide link at this time.

i tryed it but dint like.
I`m using vito voice2go and that works for me much better.
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/voice2go.html
try it.!

Sorry to sound thick but I can't seem to find voice command anywhere on my xperia
Can anyone be so kind to tell me where it is in the menus, thanks

VC 1.6
or go to tpb... where i got it... (im the dude in the video)

In t-mobile version in germany there is an other voice dialing system already installed. I forget the name but this must program must be trained therefore you have to speak a word or some words and associate this with a number/command.
This tool was already used on the tmobile ameo and for me it worked not very good. The recognition of named was not very good when many named has been trained.
The windows mobile voice command solution is much better and works fine on my x1 .
I saw the youtube video and was very surprised because I didn't know the features for music playing. Maybe I have to look for them. I have the german 1.6 version intalled.
best regards,
stefan

Voice Dialling

Really happy with the Hero but can't live without voice dialling for driving. Anyone got a good solution?

Yeah, I'd really be interested in this too, as I am so used to Voice Command on my former Touch HD.

Me too! would love something like voice command on my Hero.

there is a voice control in teh market, but it seems to only work properly if you speak v...e...r....y slowly, or in a southern US drawl.
scarlett o'hara would have no problem, but it doesn't seem to like my London/Dorset abomination of an English accent!

The app I think you are referring to is call TopVoiceControl which also allows you to activate other settings/open apps using your voice....
When you are installing it the app requires a TTS Service to be installed (well it did on my G2) You can set this TTS service to a UK English setting.
That said..... it seems to be very hit and miss and you do have to pronounce your words correctly.... not ideal...
Having seen the adverts for the iPhone 3GS with Voice activation I'd like to know if it is indeed as good as the ad or if it works when you are rattling along in your car?
It would be nice to see some further development in this area.
I'm new to Android but I believe that the G1 had a voice dialer which has since disappeared on 'Cupcake'. Can any one shed any light on this? Did it work?

No idea about in a car but certainly in a quieter environment two different people with the 3gs have both told me it dosnt just retry / fail most of the time to recognise the spoken contact name, instead it just picks a random contact to call instead.

I wanna know too if there's a solution because I wanna use bluetooth headset dialing.

Perhaps the feature will be restored via a custom rom soon.

Dragging up a slightly old topic I know... but isn't there even voice tagging on the Hero?

Speech Text Messaging?

Ok, so my city recently passed a huge ban on cell phone use while driving. I know I can have my phone reac any new message to me wehn it is received and I currently have it set up to do so. However, I have heard of other phone coming with a speech to text feature. Is there a wway to get something like this on the TPS where I can speak the reply to a text and be able to send it that way?

I don't know of any specific apps that do this, but I'm sure they're out there considering Bling and Google Maps have this technology.

I dont recomend trying to text while driving & dont like applications where you use voice commands but you should try this one
Code:
http://vitotechnology.com/voice2go.html
(not free but you could try the tial) it lets you control your whole phone by voice and you could add custom commands but im not sure if you could set it up to reply to sms.
ps: by the way nice to see another member from el paso

Thanks for this...I will give it a shot. Not only is it nice to see another member from ELP but also nice to see another person with a TP2!!! I have only seen a couple here in town!

This would be a very cool feature! I am interested in this also. Can anybody help out with this?

microsoft tell me
i had it on my phone ported from i think a samsung device.
it didnt fit too well with the screen resolution and whatnot, but it worked.
although it doesn't work if you have an accent or if you want to send messages to someone who has a rather unusual name

i went to a At&T store for help with something with a friend, he had and still has a verizon blackberry curve but anyways one of the associates there had a blackberry and showed him a whole buch of apps he got from a certian website (dont remember what it was) and one of them was a talk to text app and it work almost perfectly. ive been searcing for an app like that for windows mobile ever since then and that was almost 2 yrs ago!!!! i also just found out a few days ago from my girlfriend that theres a app like that for her iphone. i seriously dont know what microsoft is doin but they need to step their game up and to all the developers out there, you need to beat them to the punch!!!

Read email to you - what app?

Didn't pick up on the SMS part. Looking for an app to read/speak email messages(non-SMS). Especially, would be nice to be able to filter by sender, subject, etc.

Ok, so I found a few cabs for TellMe, but they all crash shortly after launching. Any ideas?

im interested in this tell me app so someone respond to miked79928 please!!!

I use TellMeText Version 1.1.0 on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2. It installs and works okay. If the installation crashes, the best thing is to redownload it until it works fine. Also try the app on different ROMS.
I have used it on ARK_N's ROMS as well as on Leo Cell ROMS.
Make sure (I think) you install BlondieSoft_MobileCertificates cab prior to the intallation of the TellMeText cab.
Hopefully this should help.

Why not sooner.
If someone can rip the install from the Samsung Intrepid I think we can get something going.
The only other option is Vlingo and it is buggy at best, you can search the forums and people have had spotty success with it.
This could be a real difference breaker at this point in time in the Mobile Phone wars, I don't know why someone hasn't jumped on it and capitalized, tons of apps already use voice recognition (bing, google) for driving directions, I don't know why in a world where people are dieing left and right from txting while driving someone hasn't jumped on this.

The tell me ap works for some and not for others.. I believe it has something to do with the carrier you are with. That said.. you guys are probably better of going over to the tell me thread and reading through that to figure out how to get it working on your phone. I personally gave up. It would install fine on multiple roms I was running and as soon as I would to go speak a text to it it would just hang then give me some error.
Regardless... no sense in having multiple threads about the same thing!
Do a search in the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps forum and you'll find it.

TellMe does not work for AT&T customers on their network on anything but BlackBerry. I ran a packet trace and the packets leave the phone but there is NO response.
WiFi works fine but how often are you on WiFi on the go?
You need to install microsoft voice command FIRST then this. Just search, the cabs are posted.
