Hi,
When I'm in my car and have my bluetooth headset on connected to my Touch HD, I would love an an application to detect that I have my headset on, and to automatically read allowed any new text messages or emails after, say, a delay of 10 seconds.
Does anyone know of any software that could do this?
Thanks!
Dave
Microsoft Voice command does this perfectly. It reads sms's and calender reminders and email subject lines and sender.

You can also set MSVC to only read messages over bluetooth/wired headset.
Great - this looks great. However if I look at the latest version (1.6) I see a number of comments in various places about it not working properly on the HTC Touch range of phones. For example see the comments at the bottom of the Hangago page here...

Can people confirm that you have this working OK on the touch HD - v1.6?

I have v1.6.1971 working on my Xperia (similar interface to Touch HD). I used spb pocket plus to add it to a "long button push".
You need to set it up in |START|SETTINGS|PERSONAL|VOICE COMMAND| and map a button to |START|PROGRAMS|ACCESSORIES|VOICE COMMAND|.
You'll also need to soft reset after installing and play around a little with the settings (i.e. uncheck "High Priority Messages only" in the messaging options etc.).
Can you download a trial to test it first?
The only problem I have is that it does not announce the caller for incoming calls. I assume because this does not work on the xperia that it will not work on other HTC devices too.

Announcement of incoming calls has been fixed in several of the cooked ROMs that include MS Voicecommand.
OK great - I'll download it and give it a try.
Matterhorn... do you know whether the fix that has been included in the cooked ROMs is available separately, as I don't want to replace my ROM...

I am using version 1.6.19209 with stock Orange rom, works great via speaker or bluetooth
Great - thank you! I'll have a go and report back.
OK so the update. I have successfully installed in (with a little help from the post over here), and have tested it with the basic functions, and it works OK. Not perfect with names, but for the basic things it works fine.
However, one of the main reasons, as you know, that I wanted this is so that it 1) works with my bluetooth hands free (a Plantronics Voyager 520) and reads out emails/texts over the bluetooth hands free when I'm wearing it. There is a setting in SETTINGS>VOICE COMMAND, where you can select "notifications" and select whether it notifies using "bluetooth hands free only", "over speaker if bluetooth is not available" or finally "only over speaker". However the notifications do not seem to be working at all - when I receive a text message, the phone makes the text message tone, it vibrates and nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong?
[EDIT]:
I've just worked out the settings dialogue a bit more (i.e. you can select on each of the category of item and then press options)... Email is in there, but text messages do not seem to be in the list? Am I therefore to believe that text messages cannot be read out?

Mine reads out the header from an email and all of the text message. Both come under messaging in the tick boxes.Click on Messaging and under options tick Anounce new messages Under Notifications I have ticked "Announce notifications using bluetooth hands free if available.
Works fie for me on speaker, music headset and bluetoth
Try under Messaging>Options - delselecting 'High priority messages only'
And under Messaging>Notifications - deselecting 'Only during free time'
This worked for me.

Just to let you know, im using miri 6.5 v10 and voicecomand stopped any calls and messages being heard or felt. Same happened with davidueck 6.5 v8 so im guessing some roms dont work with it
For the guys that have it working, what roms are you running?
OK so the advice I've followed on this forum means I can now hear it announce text messages and emails and read them out! Great! And what is even more impressive is that it now works over my bluetooth headset too!
The ONLY thing that therefore doesn't work is the bluetooth headset being able to be used to speak commands to the phone. I was hoping that the button on my bluetooth headset that is usually used to answer or end calls would initiate MVC and allow me to control my phone from my headset. Any ideas why this wouldn't work?
Thanks
EDIT - ITS FIXED! Weird's I soft reset the phone and then held down the button my headset for a little bit longer and no its working fine! Brilliant.

Personally I am using a stock ROM on an Orange phone.

About incoming call announce question from a previous poster:
I've heard reports that with some newer roms the announce for incoming call doesn't work properly when MSVC is installed with a cab. The ROM cook has to hack in a fix...I don't think there is a cab to fix this problem.
Hi guys,
I have played intensively with my TP2 for a few days now and I must say once you find your way in this device it's great!!
However I still have a few minor questions, which I haven't find the answer to in the users manual or on this forum.
1. Is it possible to select different or custom icons for the e-mail accounts listed in a column on the right side when opening the main e-mail screen? I have 4 accounts and it would help a lot if I could instantly see which one is which...
2. Is it possible to change a setting so that sent e-mails are NOT automatically marked as unread but as read? It is just distracting when opening the e-mail account tree.
3. I am now using Lockmelite which is a great app, but I would like to have a "full screen" touch lock app. Any alternatives?
4. I have a problem when my TP2 is connected to my BT carkit (Prius). When I want to answer a call by pressing the pickup button on my steering wheel or dash screen, the ringtone suddenly plays over the car audio system, but it doesn't pick up how many times I press them. I have to pickup on the TP2. I have lockmelite set to unlock the screen on an incoming call if that makes any difference but I would really like this to work! I can't find any settings in the TP2 for this.
5. Is it possible to have the wifi auto connect to "known" networks? It now seems I have to connect manually every time I come home. I don't have to enter any authentication but I would like it to automatically connect instead.
That's it for now, thanks a lot!
Hi there, I am trying to discover how to disable the network disconnect notification pop up in WM6,5
I am running Copilot8 and every time that notification pops up when I am driving, the GPS hangs until I dismiss the notification.
Basically just an annoyance, but I was hoping someone may know the answer. I did try to find it in the registry under the notification manager area and in HKCU/Control panel/notifications, but no luck...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Device: HTC Rhodium (AT&T Tilt 2)
ROM: Energy Rom 21885
Have you checked your "Sounds & Notifications" settings for the event "Connection Disconnected"?
Rooted Evo 4g, running CM7.
Hope someone can help out. Every time I try to make a call, a pop up occurs titled "Place Call" with a triangle and ! inside. Need to select either 'Cell phone call' or 'Internet call'.
I have Skype, and GV...but this occurs after those permissions. I've already set Dialer as default, and to not use GV...but then there's one last thing...this "Place Call".
When selecting Internet Call...it says: There are no internet calling accounts on this phone. Requests adding a SIP account.
I'd like to see how I can remove this option all-together. Any ideas? Thanks.
You have to change it in the website for GV
I looked at that. Two things showing GV is not "enabled", is not "active", on your phone.
My 3XL won't allow any of my bluetooth devices (Dodge UConnect, Huawei Watch) to access messages. It is not an option in the pairing security (where you can enable/disable audio, contacts, etc.). Am I alone here? Or is everyone having this problem? When I receive a new text message, my car and phone are completely unaware of it.
I'm using Google Messages.
Nope. Both my car (2018 Subaru) and Garmin Vivo connect and receive & send notifications just fine.
I'm an idiot. The phone was displaying a notification to grant permissions to messages, but I didn't see it because it was hidden in the "dot" summary notification icon due to the notch. Once granting permissions, the messages come through fine.
