Hi !
You can add some extra commands ((with a TRICK)), that Microsoft forgot to include (again) !
If you google the web you will find two freeware programs called "Close" and "Close All" . After you install them make sure there are shortcuts for both of them in your" \Windows\Start Menu\Programs" directory (Otherwise M. Voice command will not find them!) .
Now you have added two (actually three new commands).
For Example - you say :
"Start Pocket Excel" > Pocket Excel opens
If you want to close it you say
"Start Close"
If you have several programs running and want to close them all you say
"Start Close All" .
And finally the third command :
You have several programs open and you want to bring one (for example Pocket Word) on top.
you say "Start Pocket Word" - you have it now on top (you can use it or close it-see above).
Actually with this trick you can scroll through all open programs and close them selectively.
(THIS WORKS both with V1.0 and V1.5 of M.Voice Command - V1.5 is much better though!)
Now you have additional new essential commands to work with your PPC!
Enjoy !
Should you have problems finding these two small programs on the web - please let me know - I will upload them here if this is not against forum rules - is it? Anyway I do not have them here on this machine - ie. can not do it right now .

v1.5.
Thank you for the tips!
Anyway to read sms?

If there is an app that reads SMS (I do not know?) and produces separate files for each SMS you can try with a trick which works with situations when you want to open whatever file by issuing a Microsoft voice command "Start 'filename' ".
How you do it :
You need to copy a shortcut of a particular file you offten use to \windows\start menu\programs (otherwise MVC will not be able to locate it).
I also rename the shortcut into some english (example shortcut of an excel file xyz.xls located on \Storage Card\Excel files) like I rename this for example to "tango".
You say : "Start tango" and voila excel opens with the xyz.xls file.
If you want to shock someone just try this trick - people just stare !
Enjoy

Hi, I have not tried your sugestion, because there IS NO NEED to infest Magitian with additional programs to open folders and files.
TRY :
If you use Resco File explorer (probably works with other file managers too)
Place the cursor on whatever folder (not only My Documents, Storage, Storage Card - any folder that you would like to open with MVC) > "COPY"
then you go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs > "PASTE Shortcut".
Now you just say: Start "Folder Name".
You See, no need for extra programs ....
Cheers !

Hi there!
I tried to use the Pocket Pc File Explorer to paste a shortcut in the Start Menu,
When I try to access the folder using MS Voice Command, It pops up an error
"Cannot find 'folder name' ( or one of its components ). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available"
This happens because MS V C can start an application or exe files but not folders.
For this reason, I looked for an alternative and found MortRunner. The application Mortrunner is only 33Kb and with documention the total size comes around 64 Kb.
I just installed Resco File Explorer 2003 after reading your reply, Resco File explorer is huge 244 kb plus compared to Mortrunner and not Free, costs approximately 25 dollars. But we can explore easily and do many things more. Tested it as you suggested, yeah it works fine.
I tried it with another Freeware File Explorer GSFinder, it gave the same error message.
I am looking for freeware with small install footprint. Thats where MortRunner fits me and mortrunner is like a small dos shell for the PPC. We can use it to pass additional parameters to programs too.
Anyway, the only other purchased application apart from Windows Mobile, I have, is Voice Command.

Question about Project VCABT and Cyberon Voice Dialer

Hi,
I installed Project VCABT followed by Cyberon Voice Dialer and I can use my Bluetooth Headset to make a voice dial perfectly.
Anyway, I would like to use Fonix VoiceDialer but so far failed to do so. Fonix VoiceDialer would not run if it is not located at the instalation folder so renaming it to sddialer.exe and moving it to Windows folder is not an option. I read around this forum and found out that I suppose to be able to redirect using registry.
It suppose to be located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
I am supposed to change the Path value to Fonix VoiceDialer. But it seems that this also does not work. Any idea anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Just make a shortcut to the relevant exe, rename it to
VoiceSignal Launcher.exe
and dump it in the windows folder.

Nope... not working. VoiceSignal Launcher.exe is not used and is already deleted because Cyberon replaced it with it's own launcher. Renaming the shortcut to Fonix Voice Dialer to sddialer.exe also does not work.
If I installed Cyberon only, pressing the button on my headset does not cause the Voice Command application to start.

Make your BT Headset work with MS Voice Command!

I'm a new member here - found this place last night... But, I have been frustrated using my BT Headset with my phone (a Cingular (HTC Wizard) 8125) - when I try to use it, it defaults to using the built in Voice Dialer software. This of course meant that I had to program all the commands into the phone so it would recognize my voice. Well, after looking through the forums here, I realized that a registry hack would probably fix the problem, and so I went searching...
Anyway, I'm sure that you are all interested in the trials and tribulations I've been having with my phone, but to make this shorter - I found the hack to make voice command work with any BT Headset.
Here it is:
Using Total Commander, navigate to the Registry, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand. Change the value in the PATH to \Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe (the original is \Windows\sddialer.exe).
Now, when you push the button on your BT headset, Voice Command will activate instead of the Voice Dialer.
P.S: I don't know why it has "VoiceCommand" under the OEM Software section like that.
(ADDENDUM: Seems that this info is out there on the web too - just couldn't find it myself - anyway, it's the same info I just posted here... Someone beat me to it and I just had to "find" it the hard way)
Black-Wolf

Good info -- and definitely worth doing. Works beautifully. As you noted, it IS out there too -- mentioned in various spots here, and on HowardForums.com.
Good reference too is to search for "Darryl Burling" -- a MS employee now I believe -- former MS MVP and software developer. He's got a freely downloadable CAB called "VoiceEnable" that handles this nicely.
Also - while you're at it: good to remove "sddaemon" from your startup folder - no longer any need for it!

works on BA also?
this is for MS voice commander 1.5? my unit info is below, would it work same way?
going to talke a look at darryl's site too.
lastly, is darryl's cab same MS VC or very similar?
thanks all helpful info

Voice Command over a Bluetooth Headset - No go after hack
newbie here!
I am trying to get my BT Headset button to activate Voice Command and am failing.
I have completed the registry hack described here:
Using Total Command I found \\registry\HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand (Default Value: \Windows\SDDialer.exe) and modified the value to \Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe This is the default location when Voice Command is installed to the main memory.
I waited a while, performed a soft reset, and I can not get the button on the headset to function (i.e. activate Voice Command). I use a Plantronics 510 and have the Cingular 8125 with the Stock ROM on it. I also have a couple of applications on the device loaded (Total Commander, Battery Pack Pro and an employers IM client)
I did try to download and run the CAB for Voice Enable (This is the hack I found on the forum). However this CAB did not seem to do anything obvious. Nor did it help with activating Voice Command.
Can anyone offer me some thoughts on this? I appreciate the help VERY much.

This hack may work on others devices, but you cannot find this path in the treo 700w to make voice command work over bt. Voice command is installed by default when you buy the device. Has anyone been able to to find the reg. entry on a treo 700w for the vc dialing hack to dial over bt (SDDialer path), or does anyone know of a reg editor that will let you search the reg. on wm5?
Thank You.

not familiar with your unit but do you have your headset working properly? completely? i don't know if this will help you but try finding the latest BT stack. also, if you are running wm5, i believe you are using a MS BT stack. don't quote me on that. but my reading has led me to believe that MS stack is not the best. your buttons are BT profile based. look for AVRCP profile. i'm no expert but these are things i had to update for my stereo BT headset (pulsar)
good luck,
woody

Head set and Voice Dialer
Hi Guys,
I have looked at the thread above, but have not been able to find the registry setting in OEM...
Instead it is in a microsoft directory (\\\registry\hklm\software\Microsoft\voice Command\
Do you know where I need to change the parameter?
All I would like to do is to control voice commander via the Bluetooth unit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[APP] BTAudioNav: Redirect your GPS navigator program audio output to any bluetooth h

This program can be configured to launch by a hardware button or with a link in your favorite program launcher.
What BTAudioNav does:
Turns bluettoth ON it it is currently OFF (Only Microsoft Stack)
Redirects all PDA audio to the car handsfree or tho the byke bluetooth helmet, etc.
Starts the GPS navigation program configured.
If while working a call is received, we can manage the call as usual.
Once the call is ended the audio is redirected again to the handsfree.
When the GPS program is ended, the audio is redirected again to the PDA speaker, the Bluetotoh radio is turned OFF if it were OFF initially and the program exits.
Configuration:
Copy the BTAudioNav.exe file to the navigation application folder.
Create a link to the navigation application executable in the same folder. For example, in your desktop, navigate to your mobile device, find the iGo8.exe file, and with the right mouse button select Create link. You can do also wiith copy/paste link in Resco explorer
Rename the link to NavApp. For example, if you have igo8.exe.lnk rename it to NavApp.lnk (maybe you can't see the .lnk extension but it is there).
Start BTAudioNav.exe
You can find BTAudioNav (free) in my page: http://beemer.sesma.eu/en/btaudionav.htm

Looks great!
Does it also work with non-A2DP headsets?
I'll try it out this weekend.

Currently not. BTAudioNav opens the HandsFree for reception and this blocks handsfrees that are also music devices.
Only calls disconnect the PDA audio. I'm working on this...

With Resco explorer it is simple: Hold over the exe file and "copy". Then "paste as shorcut" and "rename" as NavApp

BTAudioNav request for change
Hi Beemer,
Thanks for making this special kind of software and most of all for sharing it with others!
Do you still work on BTAudioNav or did you leave it "as is"? I would like to use is to route all my MDA Compact IV -audio (phone and navigation) to my carkit. That works fine, however:
Is it possible to make the connection with the handsfree-set only when the navigation-lady speaks? Because now my car-radio mutes as soon as I start BTAudioNav and I cannot listen to my car-radio when she has nothing to say.
Is there a way to use it in combination with HGPS-switch to (un)load BTAudionNav, HyperGPS and IGO with one click?​
Thanks a lot!

Htc hd2 voice command

Colin C.
HTC HD2 voice command not installed
Well guys and dolls for three days I have tried to solve the problem
and this is what I came up with………………..
……………………………………………………………………….
Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no built in voice dialing capability tools included with the HD2?
I would like to be able to (with the last 2 HTC Smartphones) be able to voice dial a contact over a bluetooth headset or car unit....
Any recommendations, or is this feature hidden somewhere that I simply have to activate? If there is an app I can get, preferrably free, please advise. Thanks!

The cab in the 4th post down. Cyberon voice, it worked for my HD2
CyberonVoiceSpeedDial_1_2_b080227_0R3.cab (311.1 KB, 3256 views)
…………………………………………………………………………
Windows mobile 6.5 in the HD2 seems not to have the button allocation program which would allow a button, say "phone", to be used to fire up the speech.
So how do I do this please
…………………………………………………………………….
Yes mate - this works with most shortcuts too!
With file explorer, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy the voice dialer shortcut. Go back a couple of levels to the \Windows folder and paste it there. Locate the shortcut (should be at the very bottom of the file list) and rename it to long_send
That shortcut gets executed when you hold the call send button, and like I said, you can do it with most shortcuts.

It worked for me
