Hi all,
I'm looking for an application that can read SMS out loud (so I can read my sms while driving). Does anyone know of a good application for that?
Also, the WM5 voice commander allows me to call people without recording voice tags, does anyone have any voice commander that can do the same?
thanks all!
microsoft voice command will do the trick, not sure if there are others. The voice kinda sucks though.

I have the pantech duo and when i first got it i made it read my texts as i recieved them. I stopped using that feature and since then I've updated from wm5 to wm6. Now i want to re-enable it reading my texts but I can't find it. I've looked for hours on my phone, online, and even through the manual. All I can find is that microsoft voice command does it but I have no clue how to enable it or how I did it when i first got the phone. How do I enable it?!?!?!
EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!! ok so i know i didn't do it this way when i had wm5 but in wm6 I went into file explorer then /windows/vconfig_sp

I saw a review of ETEN M600 in a (italian) magazine: there was a photo showing the wm5-integrated voice command...the problem is: why does my qtek 9000 only have voice speed dial (to call contacts or launch apps) and the lower-class m600 has a full featured program, that can also - as clearly shown in the photo that struck me - read sms (!!), call telephone numbers even if not stored in the contacts database, and many many more interesting actions??
is there a way to extract it and use it on Universal?? I'd really like to have sms read to me (useful while driving), and the radio/bt/wifi turned on and off without having to open it, turn it on and click click click... it takes no more than 10 seconds but sometimes it's annoying!!
any hints about that?? any suggestion??
Isn't this just Voice Command? Why not just install Voice Command to allow you to execute commands like radio on/off etc?

MS voice command 1.5 you mean?? but as far as I remember (It's been a long time since I last used it on my old PDA) it can't read sms or so....
It can if you know how :wink:
However, out of the box I don't know if it can.

I don't understand...you mean that there's a way to have it reading out loud all my text messages?? oh man that would be great!! are you talking seriously or is it just a technical fantasy?? tell me I'm so curious!!!

Hmm! ;-)
Vijay555, do you mean there's a way to discover some more hidden capabilities in Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 UK?
I really would love to have some more functions in this. Don't see any upgrades coming at moment.
I don't know about hidden capabilities in Voice Command itself.
But there are other ways to make the Phone speak and there are a couple of competing speech engines out there.
I'm currently working on a speech program, VJLoquitur, using Flite and some other stuff.
Anyone going to the Modaco meeting this Saturday? I'll be showing it off there, hopefully.

Any member has info as to wich rom cooked or not works with microsoft voice command mainly the notifications of messages and incomiong calls to the speakerphone ? please share your knowledge thanks in advance!
Another question might be... Does anyone know when MS is going to come out with a WM6 version of Voice Command?
Yes version 1.6 is made for WM5 and will run on WM6 but I have the same issues with all WM6 Rom's I have tried where it does not work with notifications or txt/email/phone calls.
What's odd is that it work's GREAT on the Wizard builds of WM6. I used VC on my Wizard with almost every different published ROM including more than a few of my own. It always worked flawlessly on that platform.
That is strange because for me, in WM6 I have only ever been able to get the "Voice Commands" part of the program to work.
It never reads any notifications and someone told me it will read txt and emails too but I have never found a way to make it do that either.
VC 1.6 does work with WM6, but requires patches
I apologize, I cannot put my hands on the files with directions for you. But if you search around the site, you can find the 0.9f cab file to install, and the files to update your version of VC 1.6 to v1.6.17913, which will allow all Voice Command features on the Hermes (including Bluetooth).

To have your phone read your e-mail to you requires a different program than Voice Command (perhaps Cyberon's Voice Commander? - I'm not sure).
Good luck!

Hope this works!
Thanks and I thank Google XDA search as well
EDIT:
YAY Reading notifications now! THANKS!
And I guess when they told me it reads emails they meant it reads "From" and the "Subject" that are shown in the notifications.
EDIT2:
So now why did I have to download this version here and not from Microsoft? Still kind of feel like I wasted money seeing as how I ended up using a version found on these forums.
Here is a MS Voice Command 1.6 and BT Patch ONLY ExtROM that I use when building my ROMs. It will install everything the exact way necessary to get announcements and BT to work without any further changes. Just install, Run, Pair your BT, Soft Reset, and have fun.

Another thing to check once you install that update, go to settings, then voice command settings and double check your setting for notifications. The default setting "Announce notifications using bluetooth hands free only".. i change my to Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available.
hope this helps.. but for me, this is holding me up a long time, unless I finally realized. Working fine for me since, with ALL ROMS i have tried.
I'm using ...
... Voice Commander on my newly upgraded UK T-Mobile Vario II with Fun_Key latest WM6 ROM.
Works great, its naturally a little faster at recognising my voice than it was on WM5.
Havent tried notifications though, i used to use it for incoming SMSs but got fed up of it announcing my T-Mobile remaining Flext credits (sms's sent automatically) every few days or so!

I downloaded and installed this. Turned the phone off and then back on.
But now my 8525 locks up whenever I slide out the keyboad. Help?!?
I'm running the WM6 provided by Cingular/HTC
Do I need to actually install Voice Commander 1.6 THEN install the above?
Either way, I'm guessing my 8525 now needs a hard reset
what is the best voice command software program out there. with all of this upgrading i have compiled about three of them and dont know which one is better than the other. any opnions would help.
I use one I found here on XDA forums. It is for the 8525. Everything works except sometimes when it anounces incoming calls and I have a MP3 no sound happens. So I disabled announce incoming calls.
A quick search for VC 8525 should hook you up with the file. If you can't find it, I will dig it up 2morrow when I'm home.

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
It doesnt let me scroll down to select MS Voice Command

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,
Voice command is junk. It doesn't work. I would like to have the "voice tag" app that I had on my Tilt. It wasn't perfect but it works a lot better that the M$ voice commander. At least I was able to record a voice tag and attach it to anything I chose.
Does anyone know if the old voice tag app will work on WM6.5? And if so, where to get it? I had it at one time because I loaded it onto a 8525.
Thanks!
