I recently purchased a BlueAnt S4 bluetooth device for my car. It works wonderfully with the HD2 for answering calls, and can even dial BING services free, such as movies, weather, etc.
However, this version of Android apparently does not support voice dialing, so to make a call I still have to use the HD2 keyboard, which is awkward when driving.
Any apps in development for voice dialing support? Or is there another version of Android that supports it? I can't find anything definite by searching throughout XDA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I'm running:
TMOUS HD2
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 15.42.50.11H_2.15.50.14
Kernel Version 2.6.3.2.15ocm_rl-gb02686c-dirty
Mod Version CleanDROIDv1.11 (based on CMN 2.00 by ocm7)
Build Number FRG83
Thanks,
Ken

Have a look at this video.
http://www.youtube.com/pocketnowvideo#p/u/34/0L_IhqGcRM8
Voice dialing starts at around 8 minutes in but the rest is also pretty interesting.
You might also want to take a look at the google "car home" app from the Android market if you haven't heard about that already.
Thank you. That video was very interesting, but the app doesn't do what I need it to do, namely, allow me to use my voice to dial from the bluetooth adapter. If that google app will only go one step farther and integrate the use of voice commands via bluetooth instead of only via the phone's microphone, I'll be a happy camper!

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).
Is there any answering machine software for the wizard? I am using Vito Audio Notes and it can record all incoming and outgoing calls with excellent clarity(including mine and also the guys on the other end).If it is possible to record incoming and outgoing then why hasnt anyone developed an answering machine software for windows mobile...I was using a symbian operated phone before and it had got an excellent answering machine...Well the only thing the phone has to do is to pick up a call automatically(infact this option is inbuilt) and then play an audio message...(record the other persons speech if possible) and hang up...is it too much to ask for a windows mobile????.............or atleast it would be good if there was some sort of an automation software for the windows mobile(Eg:automate for windows pc) which can do some automated tasks assigned by us...
Used to have software like that for my series 60 which meant It didnt cost me to get my messages as they were recorded and stored on the phone.
Sure there is something out there.

Sounds like that would be ideal if it could be ripped from the gsmart phone as a cab as was done with the picture dialer today plugin from the Treo 700.
yep...
if a WM5 operated gigabyte can have an answering machine then why not the amazing Wizard!!!???
Well I would assume it can, it just doesnt have the software bundled with the phone. The today dialer plugin worked on the wizard when pulled from the treo.

We all have an answering machine, Voicemail.
xandermac: apparently some operators don't provide that service. I've never encountered it though.

Depending on your package you could incur charges for collecting your voicemail. I guess thats why people would want this solution. Also you could hear your messages as many times as you needed with phone numbers etc.
okay, the normal voice speed dial that comes with my Mogul, the sprint one, works wonders in that unlike voice commander and the default windows dialer app it actually recognizes my voice. Unfortunately since switching to a custom firmware (My boyfriend installed it using the one from ppckitchen.org) I can't use that as it's not an option. I don't want to give up the nice features of this early windows mobile 6.1 rom and custom features etc, I was wondering if there was a custom rom that had the sprint voice speed dialer app?
the dcd 3.0.1 kitchen has that cyberion voice app in there, u just have to check the box when cooking the rom so it adds it to the rom...however i prefer the microsoft voice command cause i don't have to preprogram my contacts or anything and it just knows what i'm saying, are you talking about the same software?
... Okay, it appears Cyberion's Voice Commander and Cyberion's Voice Speed Dial work totally different, which now has me confused, I'll try DCD's kitchen as I haven't given it a go yet.
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
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.
