Voice Dialing --> Anyone else had any joy?

Hi
Anyone found any software that offers reliable voice dialing? The MDA Pro comes with somet called "Voice Speed Dial" Its sh1te!
Has a habit of trashing the voice tags of its own accord, and often does not respond when I press button on bluetooth headset.
When the device is closed and off and you press the button on headset nothing happens (PPC is starting up etc) several presses are usually required before you can actually call the contact.
I just tried a trial version of microsoft voice command 1.5 (this I believe is what imate is shipping) unfortunately it cannot understand a word I say!! (could be the devonian accent).
I said 'call work' it said 'calling 999' I managed to hit it with a brick before it actually did call 999 !!!
Anyone suggest something that actually works (flawlessly). I dont mind training it if that means its gonna work!
Nigel

"microsoft voice command" all the way.
Thing is that it doesn't support dutch, but it does support english, german and american, so if you speak any of these languages you will have to get this program.
Dunno about the trial version, but the full version requires you to pronounce right. You can test this by letting someone call you first so you can hear how the program expects you how to pronounce it. (I have dutch names and they are completely different when pronounced by the voice command)
Hope this helps.

I've flashed my MDA Pro with the I-Mate JASJAR rom, and the standard voice dial on that works like a charm!
It even work from my Jabra BT800!

Grrrrr
I'm a native English speaker and it dont ruddy understand me!!
Sounds like many people here have gone for the JasJar rom on their devices. I guess I will give this a go - I just dont want to end up with a useless brick.
Nigel

MS Voice Command - works for me on my jas jar via my moto BT headset even in the car when driving (i.e. with plenty background noise).
If you follow the tips on the MS VC website it makes it even more reliable.

The HTC voicedial program works great for me, and complies with my HS810 headset without any issues whatsoever. In fact it's even recognised my commands with music running in the background. I've tried MSVC in the past on other XDA's and found it to be rather cumbersome.
Ant

I found that Microsoft Voice command when started via bluetooth headset does not turn the link off when it's finished.
The way i got this to work with BT was to replace the file sddialer.exe in the windows folder with the voicecmd.exe file from MS VC.
Does anyone else know a better way of doing this to allow for the BT headset to be turned off automatically once listening is finished ?

Voicedial works, I just find it really slow. It is 100% reliable on the recognition front though.
What I noticed with voice command was an instant response. Press the button and speak, no wait of any kind for the 'beep'.
Voice command simply sticks an icon on the task bar, it does not have to load some monster gui before you can speak. Ditching the gui would be a step forward for the built in voicedial.

Hi
How did you get voice command to respond to the bluetooth headset in the first place?
With VC installed, the button on my BT headset is still starting the old HTC voicedial software.
Is there some registry setting somewhere to tell it what to launch?
Nigel

Yes there is a simple registry hack, it's posted else where in these forums but here it is again
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
This works for me and everyone else who has tried it AFAIK

I simply replace the file sddialer.exe with the voicecmd.exe and renamed the voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe. After a softreset that's it.
Still can't fathom out a way to close the BT link though without doing it manunally from the headset.
Also does anyone have Fonix Voice Central installed on their Universal, i always get an error saying unsigned program or summit like that when i try to install the trial.

voicedial
I am italian mother tongue. Cyberon voicedial works incredibly well. I tried vito's program in the past. Average it could recognize 10%.
The cyb's software is awsome. I use it with a Jabra BT800 headset and recognize voice even in noisy environment.
Must tell that I am very satisfied with my JJ. Absolutely no problems in any way.

Installing unsigned apps on WM5
Trying to install Fonix Voice Central 3.0 Trial on my new Universal but keep getting an error stating unable to install as it is from a untrusted source or is an unsigned program.
Please help

Hi
OK, so its more reliable when using the bluetooth headset - it even understands devonian! BUT and this is a big but... why the heck does it not work when the device is closed (screen inside) and switched off??
Nuts... I get the beep from voice command after pressing button on the headset, but it ignores what I say. Performing the same thing with the screen open laptop or pda style (with device switched off) works fine, but not with the ruddy screen closed.
Anyone else experienced this?? Screen closed it how my device stays most of the time.
I see what people have been saying about it leaving the bluetooth channel open after as well - mad!
Nigel

Voice command does not respond when unit closed
Hi
Voice command not responding when unit closed (screen inside), and using button on BT headset.
Has no-one else found this, and if it works for them can they post rom versions. Certainly does not work on MDA Pro shipped rom!
When unit open, or screen folded outside PDA style, VC does respond to BT headset fine. Just not when its closed.
Nigel

I have imate JJ italian rom.
Works perfectly with Jabra BT800 and device switched off (screen closed down).
No problem at all!

Thanks - looks like a bug in the ancient MDA Pro software.
I was holding off flashing it with imate roms case I heard a rumour that t-mobile are about to release a new rom soon which may be newer again I suppose.
Nigel

Well, I put the imate rom on there and that did not solve it. Voice command does not work from bluetooth headset when unit closed. It gives me the beep prompt to say its listening, but it never responds. Open screen and all is well.
Save me some money anyway, no point in buying Voice Command if it does not work properly!

Ive just been using the bog standard voice recognition. No problems at all, even works with background noise.
Im guessing that some people havent read instructions properly

The HTC software that comes with the device does work (reliably) its just too slow to be of any use.
10 secs to respond when unit is off/closed. If I dont get a prompt response i'll press the button on the headset again which seems to confuse the hell out of it.
This is my reason for trying voice command... Response time from voice command (from unit off) is 2 secs max. Unfortunately it does not ruddy well work when lid is closed (no matter whether unit is on/off).

JAMin Bluetooth Voice Dial Problem

Hi all,
I've googled and searched PPCSG and here to find a soultion but I guess I'm spectacularly thick
I've just received a JAMin. I installed everything as per the instructions. I paired my Plantronics M3000 with no problems - the only profile it offered was Handsfree and I accepted that. The headset works just as it always did on my XDA 2, with a single short or long press on the button doing nothing and two short ones dialling last number.
What it doesn't do, which I expected it to, is to launch the voice dial software. Whether on or in standby, a single press of the headset button does nothing . I checked the horrible cyberon thing was installed - it is. I installed MS Voice command. That works fine but is also not launched by the headset. I found mention of a registry change program (voice enable). I've installed and run that. It is changing the registry as expected but still the bluetooth headset button doen't launch anything.
My main reason for replacing the XDA 2 was to get bluetooth voice dial so, as you can imagine, I'm a little annoyed. I have absolute confidence that it's me screwing up here and would really appreciate some help or advice.
Regards

I'm running an Imate Jamin and have non of these problems . Might be worth putting the Imate ROM on and see how it goes. As in re install the imate ROM

My iMate Jamin is working with an HBH-662. On or in standby, if you press the button on the headset, the voice dial app starts. Of course, since it wants me to create a voice tag for everything, it is less than useless (for me, anyway).

Does anyone know if there is any way to execute MS Voice command instead of cyberon voice dial program upon a short press of the bluetooth headset? Any help would really be grateful. IS there a registry hack or something?

Oh....... found the solution. You need to install MS Voice Command and follow these steps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have seen several posts about accessing Voice Command over your Bluetooth headset. I have been able to do this succefully with just a couple of steps.
First:
goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path". Change the default value from "\Windows\SDDialer.exe" to "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe".
Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset.
It worked! You must ensure that the path of the VoiceCMD is correct. Hope it helps!

I have the identical voice speed dialing problem with a new Bluespoon.
To date I have tested with the initial released ROM, as well as the new release from last week. In both cases from a hard reset with no other software additions or configuration changes.
My assumption is that there is a compatibility problem between the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, hook for voice dialing and/or the headset. The Bluespoon works 100% correct with a (old) SE T68i. So there is nothing wrong with the headset.

I have xda neo with O2 Germany bundled (yes, the OS in German) is there any problem if I install the Microsoft Voice Dialing UK/US version?
I am affraid it would be problem because in the /Windows/Programme instead /Windows/ProgramFiles

In that case, just subsitute \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe with the exact path that Voice Command is installed in. Should work then.

what if the bluetooth it self not working did you ask your self that !!!!

Microsoft Voice Command

Hi,
I am thinking of buying this software to run on my qtek 9100.
It is running a T-Mobile 1.6 rom with the blackberry connect.
Will it work OK?
Is it worth buying?
Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Dave

i use it and love it. only wish it would work with bluetooth headsets. it's nice to hear who is calling by a nice female voice rather than ringtones. the voice recognition is great as well.

I would recommend it.
The voice dialing works much better than the standard built in voice dialing (even though it has actually sampled your voice FFS).

It works great with bluetooth headsets. There's a couple of tweaks you need to do though. You can probably find it with a search.

Unfortunatly, the reg hack tweak for BT VC only works once. It stops working after you end a call.

Huh? I've never experienced this. Every time I push the button on my headset, Voice Command activates. No matter how many calls I've had. It might be a matter of the headset as well. I could never get my Jabra BT500 to work reliably...sold it. But my Tekkeon ET3000 works flawlessly.

I never had this problem. Here is the tweak I use:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe. Reset device.
When it stops working, does that registry value still show the right value?

works fine here
VC works great with my Cardo Scala 500. Sounds better too since they gave me free silicone caps. I can hear ringtones, notifications, etc. all through the headset.

How did you enable ring tones? Mine doesn't do that by default and I haven't figured out how to enable it.

I don't think that anyone can say that Voice Command works flawlessly over bluetooth.
The fact that pressing the button on the headset opens the audio gateway and it has to be closed before it can be opened again is a bug, not a feature. The audio gateway should close itself and doesn't.
The software has been out since January '05, I believe, so some bugs with Windows Mobile 5.0 are expected.
That being said, I love Voice Command despite its issues. Once Microsoft decides to release a new version that works better over bluetooth, I'll love it even more. It's presently still worth buying, definitely.

it's a great program, but needs to be updated for WM5. It should support activation from Bluetooth headset out of the box.
Some people seem to have it working, but with my Sony Ericsson HBH-662 it only works once after each reboot.

Mine also works only once through bluetooth - i got the latest Rom/Radio Rom (the Mr Clean one) installed, perhaps that has got something to do with it?

Deep DooDoo
Hey Guys,
I installed voice command on my Tmo Wizard and the midst of uninstalling it, it gave me a message that it wasnt uninstalled correctly. It left a shortcut in the settings section. Ever since then when i try reinstalling it, it gives me a msg that another version is already installed. How do i remove the already installed one short of hard resettin my phone? Any help will be deeply appreciated. Any role for removing it via reg edit?
Thanks in advance.
:?:

It's a great piece of software. It has a few quirks which annoy me a little but hopefully they'll be sorted in the update if it ever comes.
When voice dialing a number e.g. dial 282 456... it insists on putting a zero infront of the number i.e. it will dial 0282 456.... I'm using the UK version BTW. I tried the US version up it didn't recognise my voice as well.
Also, the volume of the voice when annoucing this could be louder. there is no way to increace the volume.
It wold be nice if they expanded the command library to include more functions.

Re: Deep DooDoo
I finally fixed it a couple of soft resets later and trying to install the updated version 1.5 before installing version 1.0 and then uninstalling both and installing 1.0 and 1.5 together it finally worked!! Its a nice piece of software.
Email me if anyone wants detailed info.

MS Voice Command works only once with BT

Hallo...
I have serious problem and till now I don't know how to fix it. I change the registry to allow the Bluetooth Headset to activate the MS Voice Command, when I click the button on the BT the Voice Command starts fine, but if I want to use it agin, the VC doesn't work anymore, I hear only a "peep" but the programm doesn't respond. I have Qtek 9100 with the last official ROM .
Any idea or solution to fix that ?
I appreciate any comment.

Thomas voicecommand and bluetooth has some issues. Basically, when you use VC the first time it opens the channel with the device, once you have then used it you need to hold the button down on your bluetooth device to close the channel. Then pressing BT again should open voicecommand. There's a number of posst for this problem but hopefully I've given you the basic issue

Thanks for your reply... But no, closing the Voice Channel doesn't solve the problem.. I have tried all that before I post my question, it really works only once and no more, only after restarting my device it will work again for once.
I am starting losing a hope that it can be fixed.

Thomas1234: I started trying to come up with solutions to this a while back but never had time to work on it further yet. Anyways what I came up with so far can be found here. It's not perfect but may work with your headset and make it useable for the most part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49255&highlight=
Note: Scroll down to the bottom of the above thread to get the latest version and you have to be logged in to see the file.

Hi shoey5!
Thanks for trying to help me, but it doesn't work, and it looks like that this file damaged the connection between BT headset and the Voice Command or any Voice calling, even the one by default ( voice calling ) doesn' work anymore now.
I was able before at least to do the voice calling, but now it doesnt work after I changed the registry to default to read from the sddialer.exe file.
Can you please explain me what did the file change so I can change it back if i is possible ?
I did softreset alot, but doesn't help.

Thomas1234: It doesn't modify or change anything, all it does is run resident and resets the Audio Gateway Service after a call has ended if there is a bluetooth device active. Removing it from your startup folder and resetting your device will get rid of it completely.
Are you sure you haven't modifed something else before or after that may have affected your problem. I know this sounds silly but is your volume up, can't tell you how many times I sit there pushing the button and wondering why I don't get anything only to realize my volume is off
BTW, Try this. Leave the program in your startup folder, power off your headset and reset your device, then power on your headset and see if it works from that point on. I've noticed this happens to me with headsets that exhibit this problem the odd time.

Thank you anyway..
I ended up to do a hard reset, because softreset didn't help... It has been worse, I even couldn't dial a number using the BT headset, well I won't say it is 100% because of your file, but I am sure I didn't do anything with the device that can cuse this problems before I applied you file, all this happened just after I installd your file.
I'll use the default Voice dialer then with my BT Headset till maybe Microsoft update its program.

this "ms voice command running only once" happened to me too, with Nokia HS-12W headset.. try using JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones, http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ , and activate ms voice command from its advanced settings.. it worked for me. unfortunately it's not free and it doesn't supply caller names to my hs. hope this helps..

Thanks ozkaya, the program looks useful. I'll try it and see if it does the job correctly.

Getting MS Voice Command to work

No prob with my Motorola HT820 and my S9. Call anounce works just fine and even reads my text messages

Thanks for the replies ... I just bought a Blue Ant Z9 and will report once I install it.

I really miss MS Voice Command also, there are three major issues.
1. Any speech or announcements from Voice Command via BT (Bluetooth) have very low volume.
2. Bluetooth dialing confirmation when confirming a number to call is not recognized most if not all of the time.
3. After pressing the button to start voice command, many times you will not hear the beep over the phones internal speaker or over bluetooth. It seams that the phone delays opening up the sound channel a second or so, and the beep is never heard.
I would love to see workaround or fixes to these.
Only #2 has a work around by disabling confirmations.

Blue Ant Z9
Today I played with my new Blue Ant Z9 headset - GREAT headset.
Using the Z9, VC understands the initial command whether it's dialing, help, start, etc. But, when VC repeats the command, VC times out.
Where do you turn notifications OFF - I could only see under the VC menu where you could chose either Bluetooth or wired/device speaker ?
Anyone using a Z9 successfully - I have firmware v3.0
I contacted Z9 tech support and they will be monitoring this thread to see if they can help find a solution ... but it's probably VC itself.
Scott

Uninstall the Cyberon Voice Dialer
I recall reading on either the Titan/Mogul thread or the HTC Elf/Touch thread something about the bluetooth "voice command" path being directed to the Cyberon and that it must be changed somehow to allow VC to work properly?
I disabled the Cyberon Speed Dialer, but can't find how to remove it. Does anyone know how to remove the Cyberon "Dialer" software?

VC 1.6 WORKS - but NOT with Bluetooth
Today I played some more and VC 1.6 definitely works over the speaker and built-in mic - VERY COOL - BUT, NOT with bluetooth (we are using the Blue Ant Z9)
SAME PROBLEM reported across many threads - when VC 1.6 "confirms" the command, it then hangs up (turns off listening)
This seems to be a common problem across many HTC devices, so I searched quite a lot and found this under the Hermes thread.

How to make Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 work (WM5 & WM6 tested!).
(caution, this MAY disable all incoming call notifications over the speaker and obviously doesn't route the notifications to the headset - that's a MS stack problem...)
NB The 'Program Files' directory mentioned several times below, may be different on non-english language versions of WM (see below).
Install VC 1.6 (make sure it is in Main memory)
Download Bluetooth Voice Command 0.9f.cab here - related forum thread
Download ?BTVoiceCommand.exe here - related forum thread
Download replacement btagext.dll here (Unknown if this works with WM6?) - related forum thread
Run .9f Hack
Create the Folder \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command (should be created during the .9f cab install)
Copy ?BTVoiceCommand.exe and btagext.dll into this folder
Go to newly created BT Voice Command config (in Programs) and tick the check box "Enabled"
Set command duration to 30 (or more - check by experiment when set up)
Set or check that the following registry keys are set (I had to manually change Path to ?BTVoiceCommand.exe.)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\?VoiceCommand\Path = "\Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\?BTVoiceCommand.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\?VoiceCommand\?VoiceCmdDuration = 30
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\?AudioGateway\?BTAGExtModule = "\Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\btagext.dll"
a. (For reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283412&page=7 )
*Go into the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\?VoiceCommand\) and set ?LaunchAPEnable to 1 (I wasn't sure if this was necessary...but it's working now)
Soft reset device
Delete Headset Pairing
Recreate Headset Pairing.
*NOTE: first time you invoke voice command using BT headset button, you may get the "run this program yes/no?" option on your screen. You have to QUICKLY hit "yes" or your phone will have to be soft reset to exit the prompt.
Set Side button to ?VoiceCommand (if desired for backup when using Mortscript described below)
You may also need to create the directory \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command and move the files over if you live in a different country and MS installs everything to something similar - like Programme...
WM6 specific:
If using the .09f file downloaded from the link above, the registry key should look slightly different:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\?VoiceCommand\Path = "\Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe"
You may still encounter a problem where approx 15 s after initiating a call using MSVC from your headset button, the sound is routed back to the handset. A subsequent press on the button usually reroutes the sound to the headset, but sometimes disconnects the call instead. We are hoping for a fix for this.

Gave it a try tonight. The hack does still work, but doens't give us anything more than what we already have. While it will launch voice command, it still has a problem with confirmations. I am thinking that the BT stack on the touch is having a problem with this. It beeps, waits for input, then responds, then waits for input again. Somehow with this 2nd input something goes wrong. I have not had confirmations work once for me over bluetooth.

I am waiting on my Touch to get there and this is very important to me.
If confirmations are turned off, does it work properly?

Please read message #6. Other than those issues it functions.

Anyone get VC 1.6 to work with a Blue Ant Z9 BT headset yet ??

I have the vogue and the Jawbone with VC 1.6 - sametime out problems as listed before, however, when you go to settings>VC>phone and turn confirmation off it works absolutely perfectly w/o a hitch. I hit the button, it plays through the headset - I name the perp - it announces the name and dials...no issues what so ever. I think this is an acceptable fix and if the name does not come through you can just hang up quickly and try again... I'd rather do this then hack it given there is no confirmation that it works.
So yes... VC 1.6 work through BT w/ confirmation set to off.

I tried it with my Blue Ant Z9 and it does not work without a hitch - the volume is very low and it does not seem to get the perp correct even most of the time. I will do some more experimenting and contact Blue Ant tech support.

I got my Blue Ant Z9 working ... there is a delay when you press the Multifunction button of several seconds and I had to watch the screen to see whan VC came on.
The dial and call "work" only the first time - if you say Call Jack and there are multiple numbers for Jack, VC asks Call Jack at Work or Mobile (say there are both). If you respond and say Call Mobile - VC hangs up just like before the turn off confirmation.
However, if you say Call Jack at Work, VC correctly calls the number.
Are you able to go multiple levels of recognition on the Jawbone ??
I'll take what I can get for now.
Oh, yes when someone calls me that is in my contacts I get NO notification or Caller iD - is that one of the things that still doesn't work ??

I recently saw this on the Titan thread - anyone know if the Sprint Touch and Sprint Mogul are the same ?
Anyone get the caller ID announce to work yet ??
