Couple of questions about voice-dialing in WM5.
I purchased MS Voice Command 1.5 and loved it on 2003SE, but:
1) Does it work with the latest WM5 ROMs?
2) Is there a way to initiate a command from a BT headset?
Not concerning MS VC:
3) What other options are available, and what are the best?
Thanks!
1. At the moment MS Voice Command 1.5 does not work in the new WM5 AKU ROMs (at least it didn't last time I tried!!)
Once you install the app it runs once then states there's been an error and refuses to run again!
2. Within WM2003SE if you have the A2DP profile set with your headset (assuming it's stereo?) then you can initiate a call/command via BT, I used it quite a bit...
3. Alternatives are the following:
Cyberon Voice Dialler (I don't like this as you have to record all the voice tags as there is no speech recognition engine.
VITO Voice2Go/VITO VoiceDialler (I liked this in its previous incarnation but haven't tried the new version with 2K3 or WM5)
If you search the forum for Voice Command you'll find plenty of threads about getting these apps working, and working with BT...
Thanks for the response. I'll search the forums and see if there is anything else that I can find.
FYI, I just have a headset that supports handsfree (Jabra JX 10).
I love cyberion voice commander just becaues it doesn't make all the voicetags itself. I think this is why the device is called a pda with the P for Personal, everyone his/her own opinion.
Since english is not my native language and voicecommander always want to make it sound as english it's not good for me.
And suggsjc i love your signature "If the world didn't suck, we would all fall off..." . I borrowed it several times now to friends of mine, interpreting it as a positive thought
Well I guess to each their own. I (P)ersonally liked it having all of the tags created for me. I could find a contact that I rarely used (and wouldn't have created a tag for) with just using voice commands. But having the choice is a good thing.
Despite the glitches with some software in WM5, overall I am very pleased. Much nicer and more refined than 2003SE.
Glad to hear that my sig is popular

Does any one know where can i find "voice dial" utility for MDA III English version
I'm using Vito VoiceDialerPE and it works great
Hi,
the English ROM for the MDA III (which is IMHO german, it's sold under different names outside of Germany) is the one for the i-mate... this version doesn't not have voice dialing integrated, you will need to buy additional software. I use MS Commander and like it a lot... it's a little hard to use in public as the commands are not always recognized right away, but it still is pretty good.
Treo
Fonix Voice Central works well.
Voice Recognition Software
I have just downloaded VoiceCentral V2.0 just started to use it, but it seems you have to train it if anybody could give me some pointers on how to use this software while i am driving, coz so far it's not been that accurate for me (only had it a week).
Also, if anybody wants it, i could upload it for you to download and try out?

Hello all,
First off, sorry for the long post, I'm sure it won’t happen again. :wink: I'm new to the forum & Cingular 8125. I had a Treo 700w for about a week but I got rid of it because of ActiveStink & Verizon's poor service in my area. Now I have a shiny new Wizard and am anxious to get it all dialed in. So far I have not purchased anything for it except the Plantronics 640 BT headset & BoxWave screen protector. I'm in real estate now, so I'm in car a lot and plan on getting TomTom5 & a vehicle mount. Easy access to call & e-mail contacts, hopefully sorted by FIRST name and using my own custom Outlook forms would be GREAT! Is this available anywhere?
:arrow: I guess what I'd like from experienced users is a brief list of really basic useful software & accessories that have been proven to work by you. Just basics, like backup, contact mgmt, SD mini cards, SmartKey(?), etc. In my brief Treo days I found a really useful thread on a Treo forum ( http://guide.treonauts.com ) that really helped me plan & budget for stuff I might add to the device, and it would be really cool if forums WM users could have a similar thread....maybe this can be it? :idea:
:?: Also, I've been reading a lot of threads about custom ROM updates here, which seem to be helpful to a lot of you, but it sounds like there may be a new "official" ROM from Cingular released soon, so I am not sure of whether I shoudl update my ROM right now. I don't work for a company with an Exchange server, so I just set my e-mail acct to check IMAP every 5 minutes. SO, the only feature I really want is voice dialing over BT. Is that (A2DP) part of the HTC ROM with radio vs. 01.16.11?
Thank you all, I really appreciate your feedback!
Voice Dialing via Bluetooth can be accomplished with the shipped ROM.
If you are happy with Cyberon voice dialer then you're already set, just record your voice tags.
For real voice recgonition, buy Misrocost Voice Command and find the Cab file or Registry Hacks you'll need to hi-jack the button ffrom Cyberon )posted many times in these forums).
For me the reasons to flash one of the 2.0 Roms: speed, stability, inproved battery life.
After messing around with numerous reg tweaks etc to try and get my headset button to initiate Voice Dial I could not get it to work, in fact I recked my install of WM6 in the end. So yesterday I did a complete re install of WM6 (Orwell Edition) And set everything up the way I like it.
Then I installed the latest MS Voice Dial 1.6 and BOING it WORKS!!!
No reg hacks needed. This is the first time ever I have got my headset to work with MS Voice Dial
Now my life is complete! This was the last little annoyance I had with WM6.
I am happy to say this is with out a doubt the best rom I have ever used.
Jules
Whahahahaha OK i found one bug. And I laughed so hard I almost fell of my chair!
I press the headset button and say "What Calls Have I Missed?"
Wizard Replies "2 Million Six hundred Thousand and sixty eight missed calls!"
Wow but Im one popular guy huh
Jules
Edit
On the next missed call request all seem fine again "You have no missed calls" hmmm gues no one loves me afterall :-(
I have tried reinstalling the cab file and, although it works, it actually causes problems with the SIP! Following the re-installation of voice command, changing the SIP takes for ever! Does anybody have a better solution or a solution for the SIP delay after the CAB Installation? Thanks
I just checked and there is a delay, I only use Resco Keyboard as my SIP so this is not an issue for me. Hope someone finds a solution for you though
Jules
Here is something really wierd! :S Installing the cab solves the BT activation problem but causes the SIP change to be dead slow. I then proceeded and exported all registry entries. Hard reset the machine and import the registry entries previously exported and copied the VC files into C\program files. Soft reset and BT works and also SIP change is as fast as without VC! :S Can anyone explain this?
I would like somebody to cook wwe crossbow rom without Microsoft Voice Command because it's not licensed.

Hi guys,

MS Voice Command instead of Cyberon Voice Commander for AT&T Tilt with Alex's ROM?
Hi -
I have an AT&T Tilt, unlocked thanks to jocky, and running Alex's ROM (v5.HTC.181).
I'd like to replace the Cyberon Voice Commander which is in Alex's ROM with Microsoft Voice Command.
I *think* that the AT&T Tilt, by default, did have Microsoft Voice Command on it, which suggests that I have an implied license for it... right? (And I did buy Voice Command 1.6 SmartPhone for my earlier S620, so I have probably double-paid for it anyway...)
So, how do I get that original piece of AT&T-installed software back on this device after having flashed Alex's ROM?
I just prefer MS Voice Command's ability to search Contacts by sound, over Cyberon Voice Commander's requirement to voice tag individual contacts.
Thanks
-Jay

I do not think that MSVC shipped with the Tilt
to put it on your Tilt, just install the 1.6 that you purchased. I have it and the other one on my phone. I don't find the Voice Commander to recognize my voice commands as well as MSVC.
Uh, I had some trouble getting it to work, and frankly, I'm not sure what I did to get it working. I did do these things:
I had installed the patched MSVC files. (search for VOICECOMMANDREPLACEMENTFILES )
I also installed the OEM_Assign_PTT_BUtton.cab, but I'm not sure it is necessary. I'd hold off on that until last resort.
Maybe it will work just by installing it, and the replacement files. I had installed the additional memmaid apps and uninstalling them was one thing I did too.
Sorry, I can't be more exact.
Thanks, that did get Voice Command on and mostly in place of Cyberon Voice Commander. Still working on getting the bluetooth headset button to launch Voice Command.
-Jay
The launch wiht the BT headset was exactly what I had problems with. Again, I got it working, but sadly, I don't know how.
My MSVC worked straight after install..except that I do not get a call waiting tone after installation. Nobody seems to have a fix...2 of my friends with kaisers all have the same problem and we all have different roms.
This thread really worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337501
There are two versions of MSVC in the forum and they both have the same version number. I found that it was impossible to get the 4MB variant to work even with the regedits. (This is the version that you have to go into Programs and enable/save/ etc.) The other variant is only 3MB and has worked on every ROM I have installed it to using the directions in the above thread and no regedits are required.
Hope this helps...
I noticed that in the Diamond forum Dutty has embedded MSVC 1.6.19971 into his ROM.
Any ideas where I can find the installation CAB for this?

I'm using MSVC_US_PPC_1.6.19214 which is working fine. You can find this in one of the threads in Kaiser but I believe it was taken down for an unknown reason (the thread still exists but the first 5 message and topic title was deleted). The title was something like "The Definitive Guide to MSVC". You can still get it in google cache though

We removed the MSVC cab because it is a retail sold program, YES it was put into some official ROMs but after a LONG debate we decided to not allow it in cooked ROMs etc... just such a grey area we didnt want M$ finding another reason to have a go at xda-devs.
i had a feeling it will be taken out eventually, curiously though i was thinking why the guy was banned

Have you read post #3? MSVC is a retail sold program, if you want it please buy it.
Hey guys, on my fuze with the at&t rom, MSVC was included, now that i've upgraded to romeos rom and it's not included on his rom! i know that you guys are saying its a pay program, but i paid for it when i bought the fuze (as its included in the price).... and i really dont wanna pay for it again...
Does MSVC integrate and work with the fuze over bluetooth? I know that it needed several mods to work with both the 8525 and the Tilt.
Thanks
it worked perfectly with the at&t rom without any mods at all. and actually after i posted, i realized that i still had the copy that i had download from this site for my tilt. i installed it and it works perfectly once again

Does it announce incoming calls over the bluetooth headset? I can't get it to do that. My Tilt did it just fine and I have the Fuze VC set up exactly the same way as my Tilt, but all I get is my ringtone and no announcement.
Any ideas?

I'm sure this is a dumb question but did you double-check the settings? (Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Voice Command -> [Highlight Phone] -> Options -> Announce Incoming calls) and (Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Voice Command -> Notifications Button)

Yes. I wish it were that easy. As I said, all parameters are set up exactly like my Tilt which worked perfectly. With the Fuze, I only get my ringtone. Now, I know that the Fuze has a newer version of VC, so I may try to downgrade to the version that is on my Tilt.

I'm wondering the same thing. Stock Fuze had MSVC, and I flashed to the Elite ROM, and would like MSVC back. Is there any way to flash my Fuze back to stock rom, and pull the cab file out of it??
Unless you can tell me otherwise, the one that comes with the FUZE is defective. Partly... A few of us can't get it to say the incoming caller name or number. All you hear is a bell sound. I've gotten everything else to work like dialing from the headset, even where it says I have an appointment on my BT headset. Just for the announcement of whos calling doesnt work.
Do you have to have the handsset connect to juse VOice C`?
I pulled VC 1.6.19971 out of the AT&T Fuze ROM and included it in my personal ROM and I was able to enable "Announce incoming calls".
On my Nokia BH-501 headset, it begins to announce the call, but gets cut off by the built in headset ringtone. (I only use this stereo headset for music)
On my Oakley Razrwire it works just fine. With 'announce' turned off, the headset uses it's normal built-in ringtone. With 'announce' turned on, I get the VM announcement with my WM ringtone playing in the background (it opens an audio stream from the phone). I use this headset while driving, so it's all good.
Well well... depends on your MSVC-version. 1.6.4622 DOES NOT announce any incoming call regardless of the setting.
1.6.17913 does, 19209, 19213, 19214 does...
By the way: the ultimate FAQ was named The Definitive Guide for Microsoft Voice Command - I posted a backup in another thread.
anyhow, does anyone know the advantages of 1.6.19971 ? Does it report anonymous callers correctly (which none of the above does?)
And why is it that anyone wants to use newer versions without even knowing changes? Maybe it's a beta version, maybe it's buggy... but it's a newer release... using legal german retail (bought it) .4622 with 19209 exe for announcing reasons. Works brilliant on raphael.
But maybe someone knows a list of changes or fixes, advantages or disadvantages in 19971?
I would really like cyberon voice dial 1.2 to work on the fuze but when i press the bluetooth headset it does not work, i have searched but can't find what the reg edits need to be. thanks for any help one can provide me

MSVC in Dutch?
Hello all:
Is MSVC available in the Dutch language? Its kind of weird hearing my Dutch contacts' names pronounced in English. Funny, but still weird...
