Why doesn't Voice Command 1.6 work with WM6?

I just upgraded my Dash with the new WM6 ROM and the Voice Command does not announce incoming calls. It does announce incoming messages. When I had the T-mobile WM6 installed, it was working fine.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Not sure why you are not getting announcements, but Voice Command is in the T-Mobile WM6 ROM and doesn't need to be installed. Your phone was probably using the ROM version at the time.

I know the T-mobile rom has it and it works fine but it does not work with the new htc wm6 rom. Messages are announced but not the calls.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

Yes, I have the same problem with the O2 WM6 ROM (xda Orbit) and Voice Command 1.6. (Voice Command is not included in this ROM). Messages are announced, calls not. It seems a generally problem. Many users in the ppc-welt forum report this issue with voice command and WM6.

I have the same problem with a s621 running WM6. I believe it is a pretty well know bug.

Voice Command announce Call fix?
Has anyone found a fix for the WM6 bug that prevents Voice Command 1.6 from announcing incoming calls over device or bluetooth. Microsoft seems clueless--even though the issue has been around for months. The T-Mobile WM6 ROM includes Voice Command, fixed it, and it announces calls over BT, so it can be done. But Voice Command installed on the HTC and Rogers ROMS (not included in the ROMS) just won't announce calls.
I really miss not having to fumble for the phone to see who is calling.

microsoft voice command compatibility?

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 read txt and e-mail is a different program

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.

Voice Commander
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

voice command prgram

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.

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
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 1.6 question

I currently installed VC 1.6 and everything is pretty much perfect, but one thing. Whenever I get a call and my phone is set to ring, it announces who is calling, while scaling the down the volume of my ringtone.
Is there anyway to mute that caller voice that without uninstalling the whole program?
Thanks.

Yes...
Go to Settings tab
Choose 'All Settings' at the bottom
Choose 'Personal' Tab
Go to Voice Command
Highlight the 'Phone' (on left)
Choose Options button
Remove check from 'Announce Incoming Calls'
Piece of cake...!
Cheers
Jabberoo

Another Question
Is there a way to get it to ring or something when i private or unknown call comes in. IT rings and announces all other callers but not private callers?

Tap - All Settings - Personal - Voice Command - Notifications - Then tap selection 1 (Announce Using BT only)

still goes through the phone speaker and not the bluetooth

Hi. Could you please tell me which MSVC version you are using as I installed the 19209 onto my new TP2 and the incoming call announce does not work. Thanks Richard

yes my T7381 does not say who's calling either do the contacts need to be in sim or contacts memory or both?

By default MSVC must be saved to your phone's main memory and uses the contacts on your phone. I used to have a Tytn II running with version 19209 but the incoming announcements do not work with this version. I recall that you had replacement files you could copy to windows and MSVC in program files to overwrite the current files to make incoming announcements work but htis too does not work as it also froze when I went into settings.
To answer your question you need to save the MSVC program to your phone memory and if you still do not get incoming annouments and your settings under voice command (settings/personal/voice command are correct then you have the same problem I have. Richard

well in same boat then as installed on device MSV only ever wakes up on emails etc when high importance option is sent nothing else ... lazy cow

Just off the phone to HTC tech (mainly about another BT headset issue) and he said Microsoft is working on a new version of MVC as the current V1.6 does not play well with many of the new BT stacks
