Voice dialer

Just installed Cyberon Voice Dialer v1.2.3 build 110421 from the Market. Works very well with voice tags via a BT headset.

nice one, i bought the other Cyberon app Cyberon Voice Commander, hope it works as well as the dialer. the thing is that im now stuck with a huawei u8300 and it doesn't work as i want it to.

I don't understand why when our phones already have 2 good voice diallers 1 from google and one from samsung (both powered by vlingo)

Maybe I didn't spend long enough with those apps. What I want is to hit the button on my BT headset, say the contacts name and have the phone dial it immediately without going through any further steps. All this via the BT headset. I could never get this to work on the HD2 (the mic on the phone picked up the sound, not the BT headset) but Cyberon Voice Speed Dial on the SGS2 works perfectly.
Can you do that with either of the 2 included apps?

afaik yes, but I will dust off my old BT headset and check

I can also confirm Cyberon Voice Speed Dial works via bluetooth. Vlingo also worked but you couldn't hear confirmation through the bluetooth headset so was a bit hit and miss / hit and hope its calling the right person. CSVD worked great on Windows mobile and does a similar job on Android.

Does this phone support offline voice dialing as symbian phone does?

THANKS for the incredible recommendation on Cyberon Speed Dial. EXACTLY what I was looking for!
I have a lot of foreign sounding contacts and the voice tagging is just like when I had my Palm Treo 600. Also works well starting up apps like Pandora, SMS, and Maps
HIGHLY recommend this app.

Another important difference is the need of internet connection for the 2 stock dialers. Cyberon's products instead work also without connection

This voice dialer is really great, because you can record your own voice tag for each contact, instead to try talking like R2-D2 with the stock application. Unfortunately, I have one big issue - when I first installed this app, all works like a charm. When I double press the home button or BT headset button, Cyberon speed dial starts. Then I flash the phone with the latest firmware (KE7) and now when I press these buttons, starting the terrible stock application. I spoke with the tech support, but all of their suggestions doesn't work. If somebody have an idea how to make Cyberon as default application or to remove stock app without rooting the phone, I will be very, very grateful. Already tried in Application/Manage application to clear default values for stock voice commander, but clear default button is innactive (gray).

Same problem for me with KE7 firmware - can't launch Voice Speed Dial from the BT headset. Have tried uninstalling it, unpairing the BT headset, turning off phone then removing battery. Then reinstalled app and re-paired headset. Still doesn't work.
Have reported this to Cyberon and they responded "...recent ROMs don't follow standard process of Android's definition to handle the Bluetooth activation event. We're not able to change it at this moment, but have reported this issue to Samsung, and hope they will fix it soon."
Meanwhile the only solution I've found is to root phone and then freeze Voice command using AntTek App Manager. Then unpair BT headset > soft reset > re-pair headset. I now have Voice Speed Dial launching from the headset again.

Just replace vlingo with stock android voice dialer app from sgs or from cm7 with root explorer in system/apps.
Works without internet, you can hear confirmations in bt headset, no need to re-pair the headset.
Or use cyberon.
Attached the version from nexus s.

Is there a way to replace the 'double tap' from launching Vilingo to Launch the Cyberion Voice Dialer app instead? If so, i'll be so glad to know how!

[Q] why can't I voice dial with Parrot bluetooth kit

I have a Galaxy Nexus that's paired/connected to the Parrot CK3000(?) bluetooth kit in my car. I can hit the green or red buttons to speak. However, it won't allow me to voice dial. (i.e. say "call grandma" and have it automatically dial grandma's number)
This has never been a problem with my previous smarphones, including Samsung Droid Charge, Samsung Galaxy S, and even Motorola RAZR Maxx(32GB non-Maxx version). On those phones, I just press the green button on the Parrot kit and say the number I want it to cal.
I suspect that something is missing in the Galaxy Nexus for this to work.
Any help appreciated!

You need voice dialer for this to work. Make sure it is installed and see if it works. If you already have it listed maybe try unpairing through blutooth and pairing up again.

Thanks!
So there is no pre-installed voice dialer in the Galaxy Nexus from Verizon, right?
edit: I just noticed that my Galaxy Nexus has the same "Voice Dailer" app installed as my other older Samsung phones.... so there must be some other reason why the Parrot bluetooth kit can't do voice dial with the Galaxy Nexus. I just reset the bluetooth kit and deleted all previously paired phone... then paired/connected the old Samsung Galaxy S. Voice dialer works fine. I then removed/reset the kit again, then paired/connected the Galaxy Nexus... no go... no voice dialing.... ugh..... apparently I'm not the only one having this problem... a quick search on Google showed many people with the same problem on their Galaxy Nexus... but none has a solution yet.

Strange. It could be a compatibility issues with ics and blutooth devices. Voice dialing works fine through my stereo in my car, so probably just certain devices including yours. Sorry I can't be any more help.

finally got a response from Parrot tech support... apparently I need to have the bluetooth kit removed from the car had flashed with the latest update. they will only charge me $109 for this service. I might as well buy another bluetooth kit that will work with my Galaxy Nexus.

Somewhat a phone???

The software with Kindle came with Contacts, CM7 doesn't have it but it shows my contacts using Google Voice. I can text via Voice, but If I wanted to make a call is it possible?
How can we get the Contacts, & Dialer App and possibly SMS apk as well anyone ? ? ?

[Edit:] Disregard

if the kindle 3.5mm jack will take a headset input, then buy GrooveIP for $5 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gvoip&hl=en
then you ought to be able to make calls that way!
I haven't tried it on the KF, so experiment at your own risk! Keep in mind there's no internal mic, so your only hope to make calls would be via the 3.5mm jack, and whether or not a headset w/ mic will work on it!

I didnt want to use 3rd party apps, any way to get the real cm7 dialer, contact, and sms apk? I installed cm7 barebones and the rom has those stripped out maybe I should ask him ?

I would say ask the developer -
I don't think that will work since there's no real phone service on the KF; GrooveIP sort of fills in that gap.
I am no expert, though, so definitely check with your ROM developer!!
[edit: says it doesn't work here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24725856&postcount=12 ]

I can verify that the headset don't work with groove IP app. I can make calls but mic don't work. no sound at the other end.

Calls with car dock..

Hey guys I have the official nexus car dock and was wondering if there's a way to get calls to come through the car speakers? I have a phono going from phone to stereo which handles music navigation etc fine but as soon as a call comes in it goes straight to speaker phone. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there a 3rd party app that can handle it better?

Shameless bump..

The only workaround I've found for this is to use SIP calling, i.e. set up a VoIP account and use that for calls - everything is routed properly through the dock audio output. This is nicely integrated in Android / Phone.apk, you don't need a third-party app.
Forcing regular GSM voice calls to go through the dock audio output might require some kind of kernel modification, I haven't found anything in the AOSP codebase that would change this behaviour.

Setting up a VoIP account does that mean they'd have to call me on a seperate number or will it push it straight through to my normal number?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Correct, a VoIP account would be a separate number, but depending on the provider and the type of number you might be able to set up forwarding (at the provider end) from your regular number to your VoIP number.

easiest solution and future proof to boot: get a bluetooth headunit !
Have a Kenwood KDC-BT60U, a pretty basic model, payed 200 for it, and it rocks: can access latest incoming, latest outcoming, missed, phone book, plus it has A2DP.

Get a bluetooth car stereo. Or some kind of interface kit. Google for it.

Voice Dial / Commands?

I have a KLD rk3188 unit. It has been great, except for one problem. No voice control. My car's built in Bluetooth supported voice dial perfectly, but i cant seem to get it to talk through the canbus to the head unit. Thus i am dependent on what the radio offers me. Sadly, I can't make voice work. Downloaded the Google App. Tried using Google Now, but when I tap the microphone, the app crashes.
Any tips?

Bump. Not being able to hands-free dial is a major problem.

i too have got the same setup today and looking for some help with voice commands. If I find something will post here..

Apparently some of the pumpkin models now use a parrot bluetooth module that supports voice commands.
http://www.autopumpkin.com/pumpkin-...link-obd2-wifi-3g-steering-wheel-control.html
Otherwise it seems the same as the other MTCB models. Wonder if its possible to replace the bluetooth with the FC6000TN modules they are using?

I am using the latest Malaysk ROM dated 10th January 2016 for RK3188 1024*600. It lets me speak Ok Google and Call (contact name) to the phone when after pressing the call button. The way it works for me is:
1. Whatever is playing on the unit, it stops when I press the call button on my steering;
2. It launches the unit's dial screen;
3. I say 'OK Google', it launches the ok google listener on the phone;
4. I say 'Call (contact name)' and it calls.
Few things I had to manage before this started working was:
1. Enable the option to receive commands over bluetooth in Google Now settings in the phone;
2. Enable to XPOSED MTC in the XPOSED framework in the head unit;
3. Change the setting to integrate with phone's google now interface (something like that) in XPOSED MTC module.

Hello Sir
Can you tutorial with more detail? I installed XposedMTC. I want to use voice speech dial to call but It is not success. If you know way., please tell me
Thank you so much

I have Klyde MTCC unit with a Parrot BT board. Voice dial works great. It works just like the one in this video.
What I'd really like to know is how is the microphone overlay added. The microphone icon can be moved freely on the screen, even on the factory home screen. I have changed several ROMs, both 4.4 and 5.1 and it is always there. AFAIK only units with the Parrot BT board have this.

I've been able to accomplish this using Tasker and AutoVoice. It doesn't actually make the call, but you can use all voice commands to get the contact screen up with the results of your voice query to pick the person you want to dial.

I've found a app called Toppal. It is designed to run on Android head units. You have to buy a licence, which I have not done yet, but it dials through the bluetooth app.
