Is there ANY way to do this? I tried downloading an application called Vlingo but it won't let me use my bluetooth headset to respond to text messages. All of the searches I do have to do with "Google Voice" rather than "Google voice-to-text" .
Thanks.
Google "Voice Actions" is what you are looking for I think, but I have lost my 50th(I really don't think this is an exaggeration) Bluetooth headset a week or so ago - and haven't ever tried it - probably just going to not use BT ever again cause I can't keep the damn things.

I used to use MSVC 1.6 on the Tytn2 on WM6.5 (see sig) and the confirmation notifications when you called someone always used the bluetooth headset. Since running it on the Leo MSVC seems to use the loudspeaker on the handset instead of the bluetooth headset even though every setting is marked as "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"
Anyone else having this issue as I did a search and couldn't find anyone.
Edit: Just had it working once but then the other end couldn't hear me when the call connected. Then I tried again and it had reverted back to not working.
I went to Bluetooth settings, Advanced, Audio and ticked the box then rebooted the phone...
I have this same problem! Its annoying... you want to make a call and the prompts/confirmation come from the phone... Please, can someone figure this out?

IT isn't... I have done more research..
The Leo (and the TouchPro2) use a Widcomm BT stack as opposed to the usual MS stack. Sadly, this means the BT won't play nice with a lot of different apps/equipment. This isn't something that can be swapped out easily as NRG has pointed out. Touch Pro 2 users are still facing the same problems even though that phone was released much earlier. Some however have reported some success when using certain custom ROMS... how its working with some ROMS and not others is still a mystery it seems
I would watch the ROM Development thread carefully to see if a ROM what works with our MSVC shows up....
Hello,
Is there a workaround... ?
Thanks in advance for any info,

I have the same problem. I'm using an old phone when I need to use hands-free. After spending a lot of money on my HD2, I'm not impressed.
I there a particular combination of headset and software that does work, especially for voice dialing?
have you tried this?
I would, but I don't know if I even have voice command on my phone.

Does not work with my helmet bike with scala-rider Q2, but does with does with Philips SH9000 stereo headset...
Mono/Stereo seems to matter.
Any workaround would be veryyyy appreciated

Workaround
Hi,
for this following workaround seems the only way to get it runnin:
My BT-Headset has the ability to be set as a Stereo-Device. When I establish a connection to this Stereo-Device, I can use it (my BT Headset) to give Commands and recieve "answers" from the VC. In case I want to start a phone-Call, my headset changes the connection automatically from "Stereo-Device" to "Handsfree-Device" and back, after finishing the Call.
This may be the Reason, why someone here already got it running with a BT-Stereo-Headset.?
Sorry for my bad english...
Does anyone know if there will be any progress getting bluetooth headsets to voice dial with the Android OS? From what I've seen, Google has been very lax in pushing forward with this much needed capability. They have not even added it in version 2.1.
Is there any way that a workaround can be implemented? I have been holding off getting an Android phone for this very reason.
I apologize if this topic has been posted elsewhere.

The Verizon Devour and the Canadian Droid on Telus, called the Milestone, have Bluetooth initiated voice dialing by a company called Nuance. The built-in Android/Google voice recognition has had it's BTVD disabled because it only doesn't perform well with a Bluetooth headset but is apparently adequate with the phones mic. I wish someone would use the ROMs from those phones to add this feature to the Droid or Incredible but so far no one has. It'd even be cool to see if someone could compile a ROM for Android that flips the switch in the code just so people can try it out. Or better yet, fix whatever problem there is with the quality of Bluetooth voice so that the built-in Android voice recognition could handle it. Man, I want to get rid of my Devour but I can't until I can safely use these killer phones in my car.

This whole issue is like deja vu for those of us that were old-timers with Windows Mobile, which also didn't support VD via the BT headset. And ironically, the excuse given by Microsoft was exactly the same: that voice quality wasn't good enough for voice recognition when using a BT headset. However, MS somehow managed to magically solve this -- voice dial via BT is now supported in WM and works great.
So I have to think that Google's bright engineers could do the same thing if it became a priority. It's obviously not, and won't be unless users really start complaining loudly enough. That's exactly what it took to get action from MS, too.

Wanting to get a Captivate, but have one concern about moving to Android. I was in a Verizon store looking at a Droid X they had, and it may have been lack of experience of thet salesman, but he couldn't demo good voice dial.
I am very accustomed to my Microsoft Voice Command on my old WinMO phone.
I can have my blue tooth headset on, or speaker in teh car, and push a button on headset or speaker and say:
"Call <name> on Mobile", or "Call <name> at home". and it does it. No pressing on phone screen or any other keys.
I frequent too many forms I guess. I posted a qusstion like this,but can't find it. Someone said that I should get Vlingo. Butwhile the site says you can call our contacts by voice, they don't really show it on their video. In fact a lot of what their video shows (not everything) can be done, from what I understand, natively on Android.
If you still have to validate by punching anything on the phone, it pretty much doesn't do what I am looking for. A
Can anyone provide feedback on this?
BTW, I also really like being able to punch the button and say "PLay Jazz", and listen to music. Not having this is not a show stopper, but it is another feature I really enjoy.
Thanks for your thoughts.
So nobody can tell me that voice dial works well like MSVC...
Not very encouraging to look to Android then.
Maybe I need to investigate iPhone after all. Of course, if it's the same with that...not sure what I'll do.

Although not exactly what you asked, I can say that BT voice dialing doesn't work on this phone, but it will once it gets the 2.2 update.
The only high end Android phone with 2.1 that has BT voice dialing is the Motorola Droid X because they included the Nuance software which enables the BT voice dialing.
Thanks for that feedback. Hmmmm....2.2 huh.
Do you know if that means even with Vlingo, no voice dialing?
Boy, its a tough decision. I really want one of these, but I'm so used to easy hands free dialing on my OLD slow phone, I just don't know if I can be happy without that.
Its not because its fancy, its because it is so convenient, and definitely safer when driving. If I don't have a number in the phone that I want to call that I can use voice on, I just don't call when driving.
Of course, I guess there are those that would argue that even with voice dialing, you shouldn't be on the phone in a car.
ive never needed to use voice call.. but why dont u just hit the voice button on the phone and say "call..... xyz" to dial the number.

It might work well speaking into the mic on the phone itself but using it through BT won't work.

So does that mean you never use the phone while driving? Even if thats the case, once you experience the convenience of it, you'll miss it if it is gone.
Also, youmay read my post again, you may realize I don't have the phone yet. Wanting this information to use in my decision making process.

Thanks. That would be better than nothing.
Auto redial through bluetooth headset is really a pain with new headsets with soft buttons.
When the earphone is in pocket many times the last call redial function is accidentally enabled.
Any chef any solution??
Thanks
I have no idea, but this isn't really a cooking question, as far as I can tell. It's probably better off in the Q&A forum, but I'll leave it here for now. Someone else may well have figured out how to do it (who doesn't cook roms).
EDIT: Wrong forum, ignore below unless you are on Android.
I too would like to disable last call redial on BT headsets. The best I have found is a program called "call confirm" which makes you confirm each time you want to make a phone call. Haven't tested it yet as it's actually for my father (I don't use a BT headset) but could be a good temporary fix. Otherwise I have not found any other solution.

Look at this: http://headsetbutton.com/
Maybe it could be an alternative while someone develops a free tool to manage that.
Trail is fully functioning for 21 days...but i think it's worth to pay 5.95 EUR for that.
Btw...thanks to funkwerk for the hint.

I agree with you.
There is a similar application editing the bluetooth drivers.
But this editing applies only for microsoft bluetooth not widcomm drivers that uses the htc.(i have the Leo)
Thanks for your message.

Whoops, my apologies, I was just googling "android bluetooth last call redial" and didn't check which section I was in....
I can't believe neither platform has the ability to fix this. The only other option would be to find a different headset, like my father used to have a Motorola BT headset with a collapsable boom and when shut the buttons did not do anything though it would stay connected.
Well best of luck in your continued search.
Anyone have any way of making calls via bluetooth on Froyo yet or is this not gonna happen for us epic owners??? WTF is the deal with this???
Anyone? am I the only person that misses this basic function??. lol..
HELP!!!!
After installing newest voice search (voice actions) in DK17, this worked for me... however, after upgrading to DK28 it no longer works. WTF?
Yeah my jawbone also doesn't work for voice dialing, but worked fine on my old pos "dumb" phone.

I am having the exact same problem. I called Jawbone, and they have had problems with samsung. my jawbone worked with voice dial on my EVO with 2.2 no problem. I am wondering if there is a fix for this that the devs can tackle.
I hope someone gets this fixed. Its really annoying that a phone so "advanced" cant do what my old ass pos flip phone could do like 8 years ago. lol.

It worked for me on DK17 (Quantum before 2.0) but not on DK28 (Quantum 2.0 & 2.1 - haven't tested newer yet). I asked in the Quantum thread if any known changes may have affected it (& audio out from the Samsung docks) but got no response.

I have a Voyager Pro and I use Vlingo for voice dialing over BT.....that's the simplest solution I have found so far.....
I would also be interested in getting this working in froyo, or at least understanding what makes it work in DK17. Anyone having this issue I promise you its not your headsets, it the roms.
I pulled all the bluetooth apks and the voice dailer apk from the /system/app in quantums 1.5(working BT-voice dailing), and then pushed them to /system/app in various dk28 roms I had installed, with no luck. It didn't brake anything, but it didn't enable BT-voice dailing.
My guess is there is a lib file missing, dk17 has a bluetooth apk that isn't present in any dk28 roms, "BluetoothPBAP.apk" in /system/app. Its the apk that I think may need a lib or other associated files.
I ended up going back to di18 for now due to the current froyo bug causing failed call connects. I make calls all day long(i know its strange, but I for one use my phone as a phone =D), and I was getting 15-20 failed call connects a day on froyo and it was driving me crazy.
Perhaps someone else can push the dk17 files to a dk28 roms, do some debugging and see if its a missing dependency and if so, which one.
PS, interesting that vlingo allows voice dailing over BT, i'll have to try this one di18, would love to have that functionality.

I thought is was strange also, later i'm going to look in Vlingo and see what's in it I can make it work on Viper Rom. (best out there, thanks to Viper team) As I said i'll report back when I get time to do it.
