voice dialer

I have the Xingular 8125 (also known as Wizard), and I am happy with it. One annoying thing is that in bright sunlight with sunglasses it is impossible to see the screen. unfortunately it is also impossible to see the dial pad if you need to make a phone call. Coes anybody know of a way or perhaps a freeware program that would allow me to simply say the numbers I want to dial?

there is ms voice commander but it's not free

Thanks, but I am not really looking for a full fledged voice command system. Just something that allows me to dial vith my voice. I know that I can assign voice tags to entries in the contact list, but that doesn't help me when I need to call someone who is not in my contacts.

I use Vito Voicedial. Simple and does exactly what you want.

It's no freeware. (BTW there are many cracks around to rgeister the program)

Vito is not as good as speed voice dialer and eats a ton of application memory (7mb). The registering process is device dependent and they have a limit as to how many times you can change device. It sucks.
I would like to remove voice commander and install voice speed dialer that I had on my 8125 to my TYTN...
But do not know how to find the speed phone dialer

It works almost as good as the MS VC and one of the hacked versions will work for your Wizard.

WM6 Voice Command 1.6

WM6 Voice Command 1.6
Voice Command is a very powerful program that will allow you to control your WM6 Excalibur with your voice.
Hands-free phone
Dial your phone by voice using the phone number
Contact lookup
View contacts with a voice command
Have the subject, time, and location of upcoming appointments read to you
Media player
Program starter
Device Status
Enable Voice Command
Start > Voice Command
Voice Enabled > Yes
Announcement Routing > Bluetooth if Available
This setting will allow Voice Command to use the Excalibur phone speaker to respond to vocal commands, if you don't have a bluetooth headset connected.
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the soft reset, press and hold the home key. This is the default Record Application Button which activates Voice Command. When you hear the beep say, "Help". Voice command will then guide you through the available voice commands.
IMPORTANT: Do not talk directly into the microphone. Hold the phone 4 inches/100mm from your voice. The response from Voice Command will take a few seconds.
A Voice Command tutorial from Microsoft is here.
Enable Voice Command with a Bluetooth Headset
With the current beta release of WM6, you need to modify the following registry settings to use your bluetooth headset with this feature.
NOTE: Your Excalibur has to be application unlocked to make modifications to the registry.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
The string value needs to be changed from "OEMAGW.dll" to "\Windows\vcbthag.dll".
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the phone reboots, your bluetooth headset will now be able to use Voice Command by pressing the button on your headset. Wait for the beep, then speak the command.
Viel Spaß mit Voice Command,

thanks you

Most of time, Voice Command works fine, but those times it doesn't more than make up for the times that it does

Great job with this, it's working pretty good for me with my BT headset. Very nice!!!!

add voice tag feature is gone.
I tried voice command 1.6 did not like it and now my dash has no add voice tag feature. How do I get it back?

Try a hard reset?

Try a hard reset. That should restore it to factory settings. You'll have to input your ActiveSync settings again and install any other apps you want.

I agree. I have VC1.6 on my WM6 and I am really dissapointed with my experience. I watched that very detailed video tour of the program before it was released and it made it seem like it cooked dinner, shoveled the snow, and aced all my exams. However, I find myself constantly arguing with the stupid lady voice about her being deaf, not being able to pronounce/recognize the right way my friends are called, and just being plain dumb. I thought it would be really useful while driving, but 80% of the time I give up and press the keys away to get what I want.
No thanks!

I Love Miss Botron's Voice, Works like a Charm!
To jromney: well said, thanks guy, it works like a charm on my Dash! Now I love VC, like you said, it a powerful application. I have Miss. Botron's voice volume turned up to the max. The Girl is alright with me!(lol) We talk all the time!(lol) By the way jromney, you got the best VC bluetooth headset fix on the planet, so easy a caveman can do it! (lol) Works perfect with my Plantronics 590A bluetooth headset!

Nice Software + voice speed dial
For those of you that have problems dialing strange non English names I fod a good way of dialing. In my HTC p3300 I have a software called Voice speed dial. With it I can make a voice tags forall my contacts. Then on my BT a2dp I press the utton for voice dialing, then I say "Start Voice Speed Dial" then it turnes on the voice speed dial and I say the name "name" and then the voice speed dial recognizes it on the spot.
I works very nice.

Would anyone like to share the file for voice command or split the cost on the purchase from handango. I do miss that feature of having messages read aloud and commanding programs via voice.

???
i am pretty new to the whole voice command thing and i know that it CAN read my text message out loud, i just don't know HOW to make it happen, please help me
thanks in advance

Sick of Microsoft voice commander 1.6 problems on wm6??
Try this great alternative "Vito Voice2Go v1.51"
Just search it in ed2k or p2p search engine by:" Vito Technology Vito Voice2Go v1.51 Xscale Wm2003 Wm5 Wm6 Cracked-Sympda.zip"
Don’t forget to disable the "mwc 1.6" if you installed it earlier
And make sure you change the voice command button to "voice2go" program
Didn’t try it yet with Bluetooth headset
All the best Miteranix

thanks a bunch!

Is Cyberon Voice Commander the same as MS Voice Commander?

As the title says... is Cyberon Voice Commander the same as Microsoft Voice Commander? ie, is it just rebadged?
The Dopod roms come with Cyberon Voice Commander, I want to know if I should consider removing it and installing Microsoft Voice Commander.
Anyone?

No, they're totally different. It makes me laugh because Microsoft's program is call Voice Command, and this is called Voice Commander.

In that case which one is better? (objective question I know but hopefully there is a consensus on this)

Ok, I installed MS Voice Command and it isn't working properly on my BlueAnt headset. When I hit the button on the headset it start Voice Command however the audio from Voice Command comes through the handset speaker and the audio is picked up from the handset too (rather than the bluetooth headset). Once I initiate the phone call it comes through on the bluetooth headset fine.
Any ideas? I checked the settings for Voice Command and it is set to go through the headset.

I have tried both the Cyberon and Microsoft products and neither work that well for my Aussie accent!
I've ditched them both for Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.

MS Voice Command

Hi,
I have the BT HTC S620 on RickyWatts 6.1 ROM
I used to be able to use ms voice command which seemed to be built in..
but then it stopped working and now when i hold down home (voice command key) it beeps at me before saying "there is no trained voice tag"
anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Sorry if this has already been posted...search doesnt seem to be working...
Thanks,
Matt

when you installed 6.1 you didnt pick Microsoft VC. You picked cyberon Voice Command.
"Difference between these two kinds of voice command is that Cyberon voice uses voice-tags that you record, whereas ms voice command doesn't need you to record voice tags(but spoken language only support English"
look for VCSwitch.ccs in your phones \windows folder. Run it with Resco Explorer. That will enable Microsoft Voice Command.

....stupid thing wont work...
i got this screen when i first booted my device in this ROM

Voice Announcements
I have a question about Voice command and annoumcements. Before I updated to to rickywatts 6.1 I use to get announcements for everything. New text message and whom it was from would be read to me, email headers and whom they were from. Even incoming calls would be announced. Well with the new 6.1, I only get the first one announced after a reboot and nothing after that. I have to reboot again if I want to hear another one. Any ideas on why this is happening. Not just with rickywatts version. I first had kavanas and the same thing would happen. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

did you check your setting on voice command?, what is your announcement routing? are announcements set to always or to free time only? etc.

My Voice Command settings
Yes....I think the setting are set correctly...forgot to mention those..sorry.
Voice enabled - yes
Voice button - record
Availability - Always available
Announcment Routing - bluetooth only
Announcements - Always
Call confirmations - yes
Announce Calls - yes
Announce Messaging - yes
Calendar Reminders - yes
Media Selections - yes
I believe that's all of them unless I'm missing something.

If you have announcement routing set to bluetooth only, you wont hear them unless you're wearing a bluetooth headset , and you'll hear it thru your head set. You should try bluetooth if available instead for the routing and see if that works.

I have tried the other routing choices just to see if it would make a difference, but it did not. I always have my bluetooth on at work. My hands are usually in the middle of a project when someone would call or my emails and text's arrive....so with the bluetooth on, I was able to hear who was calling or what the text or email was about without having to stop what I was doing and remove my phone from it's pouch to take a look. That was with T-Mobile's WM6.0. I don't want to return to that....I love 6.1 enough to learn to live without voice announce, but if someone knows what is conflicting with it...all the better. It might be that the whole bluetooth software(or whatever it may be called) isn't right at all. When a phone call comes in, I should only hear it ringing in my bluetooth....right? Well, sometimes, not all the time, I hear it coming from the phone too. Same with text and email alerts. When I have the bluetooth on, the alerts should only be heard through the bluetooth, but same problem. I don't know.....what's next? Anyone....?

Works without BT
Well...I tried the voice announce without the bluetooth and it works just fine everytime without fail....something new must be wrong with my bluetooth headset because this was not happening in WM6.0....don't know what to next.
thanks,

Put Original AT&T Voice Dial Program Back on Phone? (Missing windows/sddialer.exe)?

Put Original AT&T Voice Dial Program Back on Phone? (Missing windows/sddialer.exe)?
Upgraded to vp3g's 3.62 AT&T ROM for my 8525... and noticed when I got to setting up my voice tags a few days later that the voice dialer is not there (guess its not included in the ROM)... I guess most people use Cyberon Voice Dialer or Voice Command or Microsoft Voice Command... I have tried all of these and just simply prefer the original voice dialer that was included with my phone where I record my own voice for each voice tag I want to create (most "voice recognition" software doesn't work well with my appalachian accent, so I prefer to record the tag myself and only use maybe 10-15 tags so that's all I need).
Anyway, just looking to put the original voice tag/dialer software that came with my 8525 back on there, and doing some reading I notice I do not have a "sddialer.exe" file in my /windows directory....
I tried downloading a .cab that was 'supposed' to put these files back on my PPC but after running it nothing appears different and still no sddialer.exe and no new programs, icons, etc. on my phone.
Can anybody help?
***********ETA: READ ME!**********
OK, so I'm an idiot. The first Cyberon "Voice Dialer" program I had was actually a copy of the voice commander software someone had renamed to voice dialer. I happened to just notice the identical file sizes. I downloaded the correct Cyberon Voice Dialer .cab & installed it and this is actually the software I had before & was looking for. DOH! Sorry Guys. Mods please feel free to close/delete this post.
