If you mean voice recognition then yes Android has had this feature since day 1 however if you mean personal assistant then no, you will need to download an App from the PlayStore.
using the google widget mike, the my hox will respond to commands such as call and text to contacts already in the system (i admit i haven't tried it with anyone not in my contacts list). if you say go to or open, it will bring up a menu of choices, some of which are mind boggling. the call function responds very quickly, however, and seems to be quite efficient.
Not tested it? Since i switched from iphone to HOX I have been nothing but disappointed in the voice control. The headset button long press is non existent?
The headset is supposed to be a handsfree device!!! So why can't you hold the button and make a call?
If I met the HTC exec that thought it was a good idea to disable that feature I'd beat him to a pulp - and yes i have read that they chose to disable it!!!
I don't want a third party app. I don't want a bluetooth headset.
I want to use the phone like I have used every other iphone or HTC I have owned before!
Now if people are saying their headphones button works then taking mine back to shop.
This is such a simple feature, why disable it? It feels like the they took away my civil rights the retards.
Stick to iPhone if you want SIRI..
For me, I used Speaktoit Assistant to help me arrange things..If you don't wanna use third party app, don't use it..i don't have any better words..

I don't want Siri - i just want working voice dialling without having to go and buy a blue-tooth headset which I constantly need to charge.
I actively support third party apps - but this is something that should be smartphone users god given right! A simple voice dial!!!!
If someone has a confirmed app that works with HOX then I will buy it!
Whats wrong with google search if you just want voice dialling or sending a tex..
all of android phone have voice command.But it doesnt looks like siri.you can try it when write a message.Just say something.Your phone can write it auto
Why do people not get it?
Ok this is the scenario-
You are walking down the street, on your bike or in the car. You need to make a call - you long-press the headset button and you hear a beep. You say the name and type of phone you want to call either mobile or office etc and away you go.
How hard is this to understand - its called hands free dialling. Iphones have done this from day 1 and my htc Desire HD could do this but not the amazing One X?????
And for the last time I don't want bloody siri. I just want to voice dial. How hard can it be????????????????????
I don't want to see the phone or have to touch it. Cyberon voice commander almost does this but it wakes the phone up to do it. So then I have to take the phone out of my pocket and lock the screen again. Or better yet, the call gets ended because its in my pocket and the wrong button gets pressed.
Am I really the only person out there that wants to make a handfree - legal when driving - call???? :crying:
Hello, when you open the phone keyboard you have a microphone.
Touch it and say the name of the person you want to call ...
That will do what you need, i think.
Just don't know how to do that on "one click", and the microphone button is quite small ...
Really? That kind of makes no sense as I don't want to have to touch my phone.
In the UK you get fined and 3 points on your driving license for using your phone when driving unless you are using a proper hands free kit.
This is the sort of thing that will always keep android in second place - no class!!

In france, it's the same. Law is quite severe with the "hand used phones in car" here too ( 4 points and 90 € ).
But, from here, if the phone is on a "hard" support linked to the dashboard or the windshield,
it won't be considered as a illegal use of phone in a car. Lot of persons looks to ignore that ...
Don't know how it is in UK but there is a chance it is the same as here ...
The only systems i know that don't need any "touch action" are the embedded systems in the cars,
like parrot systems or car brand "stock" systems and to be honest i think there is still a "call button" ...
On a phone, you will always have to touch it to activate the voice recognition.
For understandable battery lifetime reason, the phone won't stay alert on microphone unless you make an app or an action that do so.
For example TapTapTap activates the proximity sensor permanently to unlock the phone by a movement on the proximity sensor.
That app surely drains the battery even in sleep mode ...
And how do you won't call somebody by inadvertency if voice recognition is working "alone" ?
You will need a shutdown "voice call" button ... and so need to touch your phone
PS : I like to touch my HOX as much as possible, so sweet screen
Just put the latest icey Jelly bean 4.1.1 and surprise surprise the voice dialing works on the headset.
Obviously htc have seriously messed with the phone and ruined the voice dialing. At last I can keep my phone and stop regretting not getting an iphone.
Go Android!!!!!

Is it true that the HTC One X+ (or any HTC One phone) ? We know how to use the microphone and the voice search to do voice calling, but the main issue is we want to be able to use a bluetooth earpiece with mic to make a call. My husband rides a motorcycle and wears his headset to pickup incoming calls, but can't tell the phone through the earpiece to call someone. He has to pull over to the side of the road and use the voice commands on the phone. Is there a third-party application that we can use to allow him to tell the phone to call or text someone from the bluetooth head piece (in this case the motorola oasis)??? Is Android or HTC fixing this?

I have a dutch ROM. I cannot find how to record voice dialing commands, moreover, the manual does not mention anyting about it.
What's up??
Voice dialling
There is no voice dialling option on the UK spec version either, I've tried MS Voice Command v1.6 and that doesnt work at all either, anyone got any ideas?
It works. Voice Command gets to the one hardware button assigned that's configurable. Just hold the Call button until u hear a beep.
I disabled Voice Command though due to the ringtone volume bug. Every 2 seconds the ringtone gets low for an announcement that you don't hear. Still waiting for a proper fix without all the work of replacing files.
I was looking for the original voice dialing function. But it really isn't there on the TP2. Voice Command is much better though. But damn that bug.
Another problem is that I use it on my bikehelmet when driving. But on the TP2 you need to hold the call button 3 secs (using Voice Command). That turns my bluetooth communication system off. xD
On my previous phone Xperia X1 I could assign a button without needing to hold it for 3 seconds. That worked for my bikesystem.
Google voice2go
Cyberon Voice speed dial is the best for the job but didnt try it yet. Dunno compatible with broadcom/widcomm stack if using btooth hfree. anybody tried it ?
I try Cyberon Voice speed dial, it seem to work well on mic of phone . but it don't work by BT activate, I think BT stack not support. Any one can solve this?

you have to buy the voice command software from Microsoft, its about $39.00. None of the foreign phones came with bluetooth voice command software...
Yes MS voice command works like a charm on TP2
Not through Bluetooth it doesnt, thats the main point of voice dialing, I cant fiddle with my phone whilst driving as thats illegal, voice dialing through bluetooth was a breeze with Voice Command v1.6 on the old Kaiser, I need to find out how to get that functionality again.
The Telus version of the Touch Pro2 comes with Voice Command 1.6.21052 in ROM

after reading your post sent a question to HTC...cut a long story short they tested MVC on a TP2 and through the BT headset succesfully activated a command... when i first contacted they sent the following cab and suggested i install ... so this may help
CVC-PPC-WWE-711091-hTCPPC (Aus Voice Commander).CAB
did not buy because of this post but according to HTC the profile does work on TP2 so back on final list after my 1st choice the B7610 is pushed back to Oct launch
Due to speaking to HTC support who said they had voice over BT headset working on TP2 brought one and low and behold it does not work ... not happy
Nice to know.
I googled CVC-PPC-WWE-711091-hTCPPC (Aus Voice Commander).CAB got redirected to the HTC site.
http://www.htc.com/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=71&cat=3&dl_id=277
Guess what. Not available for my TP2.

So that's it, there is no voice dialing via bluetooth?
I've got the same issue with this phone, I could not activate voice dialer to listen me by pressing button on handsfree.
Is there anyone who can fix it????

I emailed in detail about this problem. Mentioning that Voice Command only works on the phone itself by holding the call button for 3 secs. When using the bt handsfree set the handsfree set turns off when holding the button for 3 secs on it. While it works perfectly on my old Xperia X1 (wich is made by HTC too). With 3 different bt sets. No holding buttons for 3 sec. But only by shortly pressing the button.
Hopefully they answer with good news.
guys, I have an idea: what if we use AEB button plus to map voice command to one of the vol key-long press or double press for example, and then we see if the BT headset is capable of invoking it using its own volume keys? dunno if it's clear enough...
you might try it, so no long press on power button of the headset or so...
the other problem: even if my strange idea would work, I dunno if then the TP2 / voice command would listen to my commands through the BT headset.. but it might be worth a try
this absence of voice dialing and all this problems are driving me mad
cheers!
Can someone confirm if MS Voice (UK) works on the TP2?
When I installed this on my Diamond, it f***ed up the phone and required a hard reset .... twice! Once I thought it was my fault, but I did it again to make sure, and no it was the phone!
It worked great on my previous phone, but I've just got this one the way I like it, and would not like to have to reset everything
I have the TMoUS TP2 that came with MSVC preinstalled and it works perfectly with my Motorola S9 headset via BT.
Maybe try to get the version in the TMo ROM?

Greetings!
I have my Desire running MIui GB and it is fantastic.
I prefer using a bluetooth headset rather than talking to the phone directly.
The problem comes when the headset is inside a pocket ,and its buttons are pressed.
On a single button tap i had voice dial popping on the screen.
There were false matches by the voice dialing app and random calls were made.
This was easily disabled, simply by deleting VoiceDialer.apk from the ROM.
The other problem that i haven't found a solution yet, is when the button of the headset is pressed twice.
When that happens, the phone redials the last number, bypassing any lock screen. It is happening quite often actually.
Anyone knows how can i disable that?
Bluetooth headsets are suppose to go on your head, not in your pocket.... seriously.

Does your headset have key lock? Or u could buy an extra pocket for the headset.

I found a workaround by chance just now. After I installed dialer for JAJAH service that I use I got a dialog asking what program to use after clicking BT button.
As long as i don't select USE BY DEFAULT it stops at that dialog and doesn't dial.
Please all, lets keep it on topic and with respect.
Thanks for your cooperation.
You can Automatically put a Call on Speaker using Voice Command
Good find, thanks!
Found it but only by accident.
Oho, very usefull, i'm gonna try it on lumia 800
Very cool. Anyone know if you can answer a call on a sleeping phone with a voice command? That would be handy for an incoming call when driving. Something like "answer call on speaker".
Or you can just click the speaker button.
I always accidentally put it on speaker mode using voice command but never knew how to actually trigger it

Well I'm glad they did, I had no idea you could do this. And it saves from that second of looking down while driving to hit the speaker button (sometimes it's just not an option to pull over).

Well after some Minutes I figured out the German command:
I didn't work for me very well, he told many times, that he can't find the contact, because he recognizes "lautsprecher" (ger. speaker) as part of the name.
"ruf X an auf Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X on speaker") did not work at all, I had to say: "ruf X an, Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X, speaker") but even that didn't work very well, like I said above.
Anyway, good to know that there is a function for that, but I think I will still use the button for that.. :/
Thanks anyway!
Cool
Press the Windows phone button and say " What can I say" when it asks you to speak.You get the complete list of commands that you can say to you phone.Be sure you scroll to the left and the right to see the other commands other than call.
I remember stumbling upon this by accident when I said "Call Michael R." but slurred momentarily afterwards, and then my WP responded by saying "Calling Michael R. on Speakerphone". Cue epic "WTF?". Still, it's an impressive feature to have.
A thing for headset users (like I have the HTC headset for my TITAN), the "Play/Pause" button on the headset may also be able to trigger Microsoft TellMe. A tip for this though, if you're planning to do this I recommend going to Settings -> Speech -> and make sure "Use Speech when the phone is locked" is checked.
P.S. I do have the contact's full surname in the entry, but have simply put the initial there for the purposes of respecting his privacy.
thanks for an information thread
The way windows phone handles voice commands over Bluetooth is one of the big selling points for me. I like the way it reads out SMS over my car speakers and gives me the option to respond by voice. I also have an HTC one x but never use it in the car (I.e most of my working day) because I cannot find an android app that replicates this function with the ease if use that wp has built in out of the box.
(P.S. before any flame wars start, I am not not knocking the One x or android, I love the hi Def screen, some of the games and the text ref low in the browser, the industrial design is also second to none IMHO.)
So after having a listen to the response to pressinf the centre (windows button) and saying "What can I say?"
You can do the following (some things are more obvisou that others):
"Call xxx" - preforms the standard call a contact. The only difference is that the first time you say a contact name you have to select which of their numbers you wish to associated with their name.
"Call xxx, mobile" This way you are accepting they have more than one number so you could choose to say call and a different phone type I assume.
"Call xxx, on speakerphone" Well this one is what started this thead in the first place.
"Redial" Another pretty obvious one really.
"Find xxx in xxx" Find something somewhere.
"Find Weather in xxx" like Siri on iOS proving you weather info.
"Open xxx" or "Start xxx" Enables opening an app handsfree. This works well with "Hey DJ" which is a handsfree music player. (Nice!).
"Text xxx" I like this one, as it enables you to text someone handsfree.
During a call you can start speach and say "Call" to call another person or "Press" to press a number.
Hope this helps those that haven't or don't want to listen to the "What can I say?" response.
This is based on using a Nokia Lumia in the UK.
Does ICS have built-in SMS to speech functionality when you have a bluetooth device attached?
I've never paired my motorcycle helmet Bluetooth to my phone because I think talking would be a bad distraction. I wouldn't mind hearing an incoming text read while I'm riding, though.

I don't think so. But I know there are a few apps that do this. Check the play store

handcent does this but you will have to push the button to make it speak it to you so it's not exactly hands free.

Just turn on car mode via s voice.
We finally have our watches updated with the long waited 1.4 internal speaker enable firmware.
I was so excited to side-load the update to my watch and seeing the new features activated, but with more usage to the watch/phone (note5) I started getting frustrated.
Phone calls cannot be received (heard or voice out) from phone if bluetooth (Play phone audio on watch) is selected. (unlike my previous iWatch)
2nd flaw is the strange behaviour using Facebook messenger calling when audio is diverted to watch, but this time the calls fail.
I thought i would see if its only me facing this, is it the combination of my phone/ watch misfit? or its the update?
I have already factory reset my watch, to no avail.
Please share your experiences guys.
For me this works super cool, no problem. Speaker is very loud and clear. I use it 50% volume at home, whitch is enough.

When you accept phone call on a phone voice is automatically directed through phone's earpiece. When you accept it on the watch, voice goes through the watch.
You can also switch voice direction during call using button having BT icon within in-call screen. This is how it works for me on Nexus 5x and I find it quite consistent.

Answering the call from the watch screen will answer on the watch. To me that is as expected. If you want to answer it on the phone use the phone to answer instead of watch.

I guess it's dependent on a device type, Android version it is running and most importantly a dialer app that it is running.
I can imagine devices having custom dialer supplied by a vendor that significantly differs from the standard Android one could yield different results.
Anybody else encountered FB messenger crash?
I'm facing very serious problems while trying to use HWatch to make/answer calls.
1. Without activating "Play phone audio on watch" everything works as before (no way to answer the call without pulling the phone). Somehow expected behaviour.
2. When I activate "Play phone audio on watch", I can answer the call on watch and apparently it thinks the call is going normally. Byt nothing can be heard on either side of the call. On phone the in-call UI is also displayed and no sounds played or recorded.
3. What's even worse, when I conventionally answer the call on my phone, it's somehow answered also on watch, with result being similar to 2 - no voice whatsover on either device - for about 10 seconds. After that the call is hung up on watch and starts to be hearable on phone. This is very annoying.
I admit, I have an old Samsung Galaxy SII running SlimKat 4.4.4 (which should include standard AOSP dialer). Maybe it has an old version of Blutooth or something screwed elsewhere. But for me the new 1.4 functions are now plain unusable.
Edit: Point 3 somehow fixed (or demonstrates randomly). But still: no audio stream between phone and watch.
