I have tried searching, and haven't been having much luck.
With a phone as advanced as this, why is having voice dialing WITH voice-to-text recognition such an issue? My Verizon V710 had true voice dialing with back in 2004!
From what I've been able to garner, true voice dialing is pretty rare with the GSM market, but with a PPC phone, there should be some option.
Before the Tilt, my Blackberry Pearl had voice recognition, but it barely worked. What do I need to install on my Tilt (using the latest Dutty Tilt version TouchFlo ROM) to have this feature? It is beyond me why a phone nowadays would not have this feature....
Get microsoft voice command 1.6. It will let you run your whole by voice. Do a search and you might find a link.
i agree with angel-78. I'll add, if you act like that and dont want to ask questions nicely and dont care about your phone, maybe you should sell it and go find a more simple phone to use. this one sounds out of your league.

Thanks for the reply. I did search, both with the forums search and using the Google "site:" function. No luck.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but if you don't have anything to add, why don't you go take a long walk on a short pier. What do you want me to say... pretty please, with sugar on top?? If I was mad, it was quite obviously directed at the makers of an otherwise great phone/OS, but apparently your 2nd grade reading skills don't cut it when trying to extract such information from a post.
...and when did I EVER say I didn't like my phone? I think it is just RIDICULOUS not to have some sort of hands-free calling that doesn't require training. Every non-PPC phone I've owned within the past 3-4 years has had it. For a phone in this price range, it is absolutely inexcusable.
I do not need a more simple phone. It's not like it's a feature that is there, but I'm not able to figure out. It's just not there. But you probably wouldn't understand anyways.
There. Now you can say my post was other than nice. Retard.

Hmmm, "you're" the one who can't spell "you're".... retard.
Thank God for the "ignore list".
Flapjack - I understand with and agree with your point. I don't know if it's a software or hardware issue but it seems that a voice recognition feature shouldn't be that hard to come by. I also have seen this technology at work on other phones, as with you, mostly Verizon Motorola phones. Seems odd that GSM phones wouldn't have the technology. Does anyone know why this limitation exists? To reiterate, I'm not talking about the voice recognition feature where you have to record your voice and use it as a tag. I'm talking about the enter-names-in-your-address-book-and-just-be-able-to-call-it-by-saying-the-name feature. I believe it's called SIND or Speaker Independent Name Dialing.
As with Flapjack, I'm not bagging on the phone. Mostly, I want to know why this technology is not available on phones like the Kaiser but exist on phones that are free with Verizon.
Was anyone able to trigger the Ms VoiceCommand from a Parrot kit ?
I have a Parrot CK3000 Evo, and the Kaiser won't launch the msvc invit
... while it does with a bluetooth heaset
At the opposite, my Blackberry 8820 works great...with the Parrot (else I still don't like Blackberry OS )
any idea?
Want voice dialing
I have also had it on my last 2 phones sony S710A and my old MOT V551. both GSM by the way. I have a hard time believing this phone would not have simple voice dialing. Does any one have a clear answer on this issue
The best voice dialing is Microsoft Voice Command v 1.6. I have used this on my Tytn and now Tytn II (Kaiser). Go to Handago.com and download and purchase this software. The accuracy is 95% and I have over 550 contacts. It also announces incoming calls by name (check the threads for a fix for WM6), can even read sms messages (careful who listens to these) and much more.
Best app on my Kaiser
Voice Command is the best retail package out there.
Voice Signal is much, much better than VC, but it's only OEM'd so you can't get it for the various Kaisers out there.
VoiceSignal doesnt seem to support as much spoken languages...
If MVC is so great, why is it not included as part of Windows Mobile? It doesn't make any sense...
Do any cell companies actually include the software in their ROMs? It would make a lot more sense for them to pay for bulk software and include it as opposed to us having to pay for it.
I mean, really... it's not like the voice recognition software that comes with other phones is free. They pay for it, we use it.
Voice command
I think voice command is not bundled with phones because of the few languages supported.
I'm italian and voice command is quite unusable.
I heard cyberion voice command support italian but I can't find it anywhere.
I agree with the first istance: it's very strange that a €800 windows mobile phone has not a voice recognition program. My old Nokia N70 does have and it works very very well.
It's the carrier/phone manufacturer's option to bundle VC, but MS is going to get their money out of someone for the software. For example, it's included on many Treo's, and I believe the Samsung i760 includes it. But then VZW or Samsung paid for that license and built the cost into the phone.
Well, the TILT does come with Cyberon Voice Speed Dial pre-installed. It works and not only allows voice speed dial, but voice launching of applications. MS Voice Command may be better, I don't know, haven't paid the money to try it.
Wish there was a way to select or adjust that synth/can voice. It's pretty rough.

awesome piece of software!
thanks alot man!
one question though, is it possible to map anything to the button on the handsfree? that's when i really need to use the voice command, when the phone is in the pocket and i have handsfree out. it would be little annoying having to take it out all the time to press a hard button.
any suggestions?
Is there Voice Recorder Software for Xperia?
If yes, where can i download the best voice recorder software?
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/
Did YOU try that yourself? They do certainly NOT list the X1 as compatible, or any HTC phone respectively.
I already tried another program, forgot the name, something like call recorder... but of course, did NOT work with X1.
this one partly works...
..but you can almost only hear yourself in the recordings. So it's sadly only recording the mic on it's own side.
yeah plane voice recording should be the same on all pocketpc's as
mic input is handled the same way
but recording phone conversations is another matter
it's rare that apps supported devices mean anything
unless it's software which use special features like camera or gps or
the likes
in most cases pocketpc apps is like pc apps and works on all pocketpc's
Might be true in some cases, but don't you think that if a phone would be REALLY supported, the seller would state that???!!!! Its called marketing.
So if some software works on some phones that are not stated as supported, is coincidence or plain luck on the side of the user.
One can only get back to the seller with a complaint or support question when that phone is listed. Else, out of luck
I've got Resco on my X1 right now. have used it to record lots of notes etc.
As well as used it to listen to audio books (It has a book mark feature)
I haven't tried it to record a phone call yet, will try it tomorrow when i get time
Sounds good, kindly DO report. Greetings!
"but don't you think that if a phone would be REALLY supported, the seller would state that???!!!!"
lol
do you realise how many pocketpc have been released since ms started using arm platform 90% of software works on all of them
the seller would be hard pressed to list them all or even know all of their names
you can compare it with a computer game listing
dell p3 blabla compaq p4 blba bla hp laptop tx acer........
Yeah, makes sense.... why would Resco or MS give a rats behind if a SONYERICSSON Brand and X1 (one of the most expensive phones on the market) would be listed and those users entised to get that.

FAQ:
Question: Why do the CallBack and SMS buttons seem unresponsive at times?
Answer: Make sure you have 7,10, or 11 digits entered, also while gVo Online Features are loading in the background, CallBack and SMS buttons are disabled. They will be enabled upon loading.
If we don't disable them, then we can't guarantee that the number you selected will be pasted in the correct spot. This is a result of having to wait for google's responses to our actions. Sorry!
Question: Is WM6.5 supported?
Answer: I don't run wm 6.5, but it really depends on which rom you're using. Custom 6.5 roms that use the newer beta Internet Explorer browser do not work correctly with gVo because of the newer IE dlls.
gVo
So ever since the public invites started going out to google voice users, I've been looking for the perfect google voice dialer. Google has yet to release a windows mobile version for what ever reasons, and so I was on a mission to make my google voice life easier. I came across subpro's iDialer, which worked great but still wasn't as easy as I wanted it to be. Plus its integrated as a regular dialer too so it was a bit more complicated then I wanted. There is also OneDialer by m_drunk, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted either. I read about GVdialer but that one isn't free, so I didn't get a chance to try it. Anyways, so I spent two days (and nights) working on my own dialer. Finally, I have a workable application, so I thought I'd share it. Free of course.
*** You must have .NET3.5 installed ***
*** You must have Windows Mobile 6+ ***
*** Touch Screen Phones Only ***
MAY NOT WORK RIGHT WITH THE THE NEWER IE VERSIONS
Anyhow, here's what it is:
Current: v0.6.0
Select contact and dials their Number (Mobile)
Enter in a non-contact number and dials
Supports ALL Resolutions (QVGA,VGA,WVGA) new!
No Skin Support (since this is meant to be a quick and easy app, no need to worry if it looks good)
Landscape support new!
Google Online Functions such as SMS/CallBack/Inbox/Voicemail
Support for International Calling
ChangeLog:
v0.1 - v0.2
added online feature
changed graphics / layout
v0.2 - v0.2.1
Made change to dialing pauses In the hopes of speeding it up more. Doubt it changed anything though. (so you don't really need to update to this version)
v0.2.1 - v0.3.0
Made online features a bit faster. (but realize that if you have the gVo online features enabled, it will try to connect to google on start up. If you don't want that, then disable it in the config)
Added a red button to select which number to use from your contact. (M = Mobile, H = Home, W = Business/Work)
v0.3.0 - v0.3.1
Changed username length up to 50
passwords are up to 25
v0.3.1 - v0.4
Removed Graphics (so we don't have to worry about skinning and resolutions)
Now supports ALL resolutions!
Now supports Landscape!
v0.4 - v0.4.1
Added dedicated Online/Dial buttons (Online Button only visible with online feature enabled in config)
Google Number can now be 11 digits
Changed config page's layout to be landscape friendly
v0.4.1 - v0.5.0
Changed dedicated "Online" button to dedicated "SMS"
Added "CallBack" Checkbox in config (for those who want a dedicated callback button)
Made the graphics look better (goodbye google colors! Hello Black, Seems everyone likes black)
Disabled SMS and CallBack buttons while online features loading (If we don't disable them, I can't guarentee numbers pasted in the right box)
v0.5.0 - v0.5.1
Changed dialing requirement of 7 or 10 or 11 digits to only 7 digits or more (since international dialing can vary in how many digits total)
*** if you don't dial internationally, you don't need to update to 0.5.1 ***
v0.5.1 - v0.6.0
Added better support for Google international calling
(added checkbox that enables support for international calling, everytime you dial you will get a message box asking if it's an international call or not. I know it's kind of a hassle but it's the only way to really support international calling. If you never make international calls, do not enable international calling and you will never see the message box)
*** INTERNATIONAL CALLING IS NOT FREE, YOU MUST HAVE GOOGLE VOICE CREDIT ***
Voice Features:
Dial - gVo dials your google number, enters your pin number (if you have one) then dials the person you want to call (from manual dial or contacts list). Basically, it does what you can do by yourself, but in an automated way. Also, this method allows your google number to show up to the person you're calling.
Online Features:
SMS - Logs you into google's site, and pastes in the number you dialed or selected from contacts. You should be tabbed into the text field ready to text!
CallBack - Logs you into google's site, and pastes in the number you dialed or selected from contacts, then automatically clicks call. After that, you may have to choose which callback number, but if you only have one callback number, it should only ask you once, then be automatic from then on.
Both Online features will also let you check your voicemail, and do other things to/with your google voice account.
(DONT FORGET, ONLINE FEATURES USE DATA/INTERNET! SO DONT ENABLE IT IF YOU DONT HAVE A DATA PLAN!)
Anyhow visit google's website for more info on Google Voice.
And oh yeah, I do not take any responsibility for any harm this application does to you whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. Also, I am in no way affiliated with Google, so all logos and whatever belong to them. I did this in my spare time, with the intention to share with everyone else in this great XDA community. **Also realize that I'm not trying to make the ultimate best google voice application with bells and whistles, I just want to make it easy and simple to use.**
Enough of my blabbering and here is the cab, enjoy!
Tips:
If you enable gVo Online = Google Voice Callback, SMS, Account Settings, VoiceMail (uses default internet connection)
If you disable gVo Online = Google Voice Call (Calling Card Method)
For gVo Calling Card method, you can either dial the number or get a number from the contacts list.
For gVo Online, you can also dial the number or get a contact's number, then connect to gVo Online which defaults to the SMS feature. If you need the number you selected, its in the system clipboard, so just paste it.
nice.. i want to be able to use this with wifi if possible... without using the phone method. keep up the good work bro
good going...look forward to added features
awesome, the more the merrier hopefully I like your implementation.

keep in mind that with cdma phones a call will go to voicemail if the phone is connected with (active?) 1x data (EVDO/3g connections will pause for calls)
I'm not sure if it's possible to send the call back request and terminate the connection fast enough, but I'm willing to test if you find a way to try.
edit; further test proved my suspicion that you can be connected with 1x, but no data sessions can be active. there is a registry entry to control this (evdo or 1x)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"
Works great on my HTC Touch Pro Please please add the SMS please Please

Ok, I added an "online" feature, and since I don't have a cdma phone, let me know what/how it does. Like you said, we may have to do a quick data termination to receive the call. Thanks!

interesting
I am also on energy rom on a Touch Pro, Fuze to be exact. I am running the latest build as of this writing, which would be the august 11th 09 build. I have no problems at all...well the online mode pretty much blows(Onedialer isn't much better here either), takes FOREVER to load the GV page, the calling card method works great, however perhaps you have to many pauses here and there cause the GV Dialer uses the same method but zips through a little faster.
However I like your implementation better as the GV dialer asks which service to use everytime you make a call, whereas yours can be assigned as a softkey and used only when needed. I was using iDialer in the same fashion however, in order to call from a contact you needed to install iContact in addition, whereas yours uses the existing windows list. Cool.
If you could speed up the calling card method(try the GVdialer trial and see for yourself) and mabye implement the sms in the same way or better as one dialer, then yours would be byfar the best in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment. This definately will help me better understand how to improve it. Yeah, I haven't tried GVdialer yet so I'll have to find time and try it out, maybe I can impliment a similar sms solution. I just wanted an easy way for people to connect to their google accounts. Basically as an all-in-one online feature. I'll see what I can do! Thanks again!
If I use it without the internet it works fine... but as soon as I click the checkbox... I click connect a blank page comes up... then after a few seconds the program just closes.

Ok, so I tested both GVdialer and OneDialer, and they are basically using the same method I am.
About the calling card method, you have to wait for google's prompts and then enter the your selection. So there isn't a real way to speed it up much more than it is already because I'm using the most minimum pauses I can. In fact, as soon as you hit dial, my application sends the number string with pauses included to the built in dialer, then my application exits. So my application actually has nothing to do with the dialing after you hit the dial button. (You can listen in after it connects to google and hear it dial against google's prompts) The only way to really optimize the speed is to make a real standalone dialer and time the google prompts with your selection, but even then, you'll only save a second or two.
About the SMS features, because google doesn't have a real api yet, we have to improvise, and so what we're essentially doing is logging into google's website first to get credentials then we can send the text. The only difference between onedialer and mine is that onedialer has a built in SMS form, which is what I had originally too but I thought it would just be better to just use an all in one solution (the google site itself). Because no matter what, you'll always have to log into the site to get the credentials first, hence the long wait.
Once google provides us with a real api, we'll be able to provide faster solutions.
Ok, anyhow, that was a semi technical explanation, sorry if it was confusing.

Ok, it's most likely a connection problem then. Are you connected to the internet? My application "should" try to connect you if you're not already connected but maybe something in your settings isn't allowing it to connect. Try connecting to the internet first(wifi or data plan), make sure you can browse the internet first, then run the gVo application and see if that makes a difference.
When you hit the "Google Online" button, all it does is connect to google's website. If it comes back as a plain page, then it's just not reaching google's site. So I assume its more of a connection problem.
Would this work on a Axim x51v just to control GV, like you can from the web site?
Hi,
I installed Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 on my X2, on both the original ROM as well as the MR1 update Skype worked in the strict sense of the word but with insufficient quality to actually be used in a business context. My voice however, was recorded and I could hear parts of the voice of my correspondents.
MR2 made the X2 much faster and I can tell by using Skype on it: e.g. the echo123 voice is now loud and clear without packet drops etc. Looked promising. However, now my voice is not recorded wich renders the phone useless on Skype.
Must be a setting on the device that mutes/disables the Microphone for use other than regular phone calls. I was looking for a WM voice recorder to test my theory but could not find one either. I've read there could be an issue with micophone 'gain' that can be fixed on other brand phones by accessing the 'Service Menu'. I read on this forum however that changes through the Service Menu are not persistent to the device. Can anyone help me to get to the bottom of this ?
TIA &
Best Regards,
Johan
Big Dialer allows you to easily make phone calls with the big sleek looking dialpad buttons to dial phone numbers without having to squint!
Now you have the ability to Enable Voice Dialing! This feature allows you to check to enable/disable, so you can hear the buttons you're pressing as you dial, which is great if you have trouble seeing when you dial as it confirms what digit's you're really pressing.
Code:

good ,how can i Download it？
It's in the Marketplace.
A very good idea. Congratulations.
What i don't understand is why didn't you go for a metro look that would go well with the rest of the OS?
Wp7 has a very distinctive look, and when an app uses a different style it is immediately observable and very distracting.
First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who supported my program. I originally made this for my Mom and Grandma.
The reason I did not use metro styling, it was easier for my family to see the apps text big and bold. However, I do have another edition of big dialer coming that is completely free and for those without horrible vision, can use the metro styling which has been requested many times and really wanted to meet everyones wants/desires.
Which, if anyone has any questions, please let me know. Also, for WP7 users, if you can't wait for the new WP7 BIG Dialer and want it now but don't want to pay, ask me and I will send you the XAP for you to manually install and no payment required.
Remember to also look for I.T. Guy, a program to help service call tech's to perform repairs properly and SMS or Email invoices right from I.T. Guy to your customer immediately for payment (Payment modules on the way).
If you're a person that likes to BETA stuff, currently, Project: Job Track (not the final release name) lets you literally find jobs around you via GPS. All I can say for now...
Once again thank you everyone!!!
Upgrade - Coming
I have heard some feedback and to make things even easier and more visible... I have made 2 updates that are visible to the UI:
New Call Button (Larger + Color Change)
Phone # Box Modified (Bright-Red Gradient w/Easy Text Color)
Bug-fixes:
White Button Press Fix (Changed to Touch)
New Features:
Call History List (Dial "00")
BIG Dialer now with multi-lingual support and on-the-fly translation!

Thank you, I appreciate it. The free edition is almost out.
Add some exception handling it's closing a lot
First, thank you for your response and recommendations.
Second, unfortunately currently in the WP7 platform, it is EXTREMELY limited as to what you can do and actually out of our hands as we can't even create a cancel/dial button, only pre-set a name + number (to show who you're dialing) and make it Popup asking to dial but only cause the platform at this time does not allow it. It's extremely unfortunate as we can't even control the dial-pad size/look/feel except for 10 or so pre-set options using InputScope, which is the reason for the custom buttons but the whole reason for this specific App was to have huge buttons that were easily viewable for those who have issues seeing.
Third, as for the voice translation speaking, it may be sluggish as it currently grabs the voices via Internet and than streams it as output to your speaker phone. The previous version with the "English" speaking was very large as an App to have great quality audio that was embedded but too many complaints the app was too large, so we compromised and grab translations via the web.
Which the current method is getting updated as we are applying Speak Dial, where you literally speak and it dials what you said but also speaking (if enabled) out-loud the number prior to actually dialing and the keyboard does get a face-lift and I am sure many like yourself will be happy about .
Again thank you so much for your input, hopefully you'll like the update waiting to be accepted in the Marketplace .

I highly suggest using the default theme colors instead of images for the buttons.
The clear and dial buttons are too close together. I would suggest to have them separated on different corners, or use a swipe left action to clear.
I'm not sure if there is a limitation of the wp7 platform but if the call button could read out the full number and have a huge call/cancel button it would be very nice.
