I've read around and discovered that the HTC wired headset button only does pick up, and hang up. By pressing it twice it redials. I understood that a long press of this button can't be assigned.
I would like to change the double press option on the wired headset to activate Microsoft Voice Command. Is there a registry hack for this?

Or do I have to switch to a bluetooth headset.

Unless something has changed...I think the only way to activate MSVC remotely is to use a bluetooth headset. It is a pain if you use nice sounding wired headphones and still need to drag out your phone to make a call. I can't believe WM hasn't fixed this issue. I had a voice dial button on my Sony Ericsson P800 headset from ...uh...6 years ago??? I hope someone proves me wrong because I listen to music all the time with a wired headset through an iPhone headset/mic adapter.
Here you go, all done:

Thanks. I am now able to start MVC by double pressing the button on the wired headset.
I did so, by replacing:
\Windows\redial.exe
with a copy of \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
Now I can control my MP3's and dial whomever I want without reaching for my phone.
This didn't work with bluetooth redial.
Any ideas how to change the bluetooth redial command to something else ?
Nice one... was away to post the same question.
Glad I searched first
Thanks!

Hurrah, I got the Bluetake Stereo headset (BT450Rx) for christmas! And was hoping to be able to use it in mono and with voice commander until they released the A2DP profile...
However I think I must be doing something really stupid as I can't make it work! I have paired it with the MDA Pro... (Headset profile)
I can answer phone calls and end phone calls using the button on the headphones, and get sound through during calls... However I cannot get the button to do anything else! I was under the impression that if I pressed the call button on the headset it should start the SDDialer.exe or VoiceCMD.exe depending on what you have it set to in the registry... However it does nothing but beep in the headset (not the blips of either peice of software) and nothing happens... Have I missed something??
Anyone able to help??

edit the registry
from an old post on this forum, rilot offered the following and it has worked for me:
"MS Voice Command activation from BT headset
Now this one is sweet and makes the JASJAR the daddy for voice commands.
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played through the headset too. "
Hope it helps.
Thanks... I have tried this already and it should change it from responding to the Cyberon dialer to the Microsoft Voice Command... However mine is responding to niether!!
Any other ideas? Am I supposed to do anything to the other two keys in the VoiceCommander group?
Andy
got the bluetake bt420ex h/s for xmas and with the i-mate k-jam i can initiate commands from the talk button on the headset, just using k-jam as supplied.
i know this is not much help, but it shows it will work.
Hello, Anybody succeded in activating voice command by pushing on the standard talk button of the QTEK headset? i understand there is a solution for bluetooth devices, but i tried with the standard headset and apparently it doesn't work...i am using the fantastic 2.8 ROM....
i am also intresseted to do that.
Did anyone found a solution?
It seems that the standard "Talk" button on Qtek's headset is only good for picking up incomming calls. It is not similar to voice button on the device. I've desperatly searched for registry keys to change that.
Did anyone have any luck?
Thanks,
Rostylsav
This didn't work for me, but it's easy to roll back. Pasted from Howard Forum.

Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset. My Scala headset beeps twice when it's ready for the Voice Command. My husbands Motorola headset beeps once when it's ready for the Voice Command.
Then you can also enable your bluetooth headset to receive music and other sound from your MDA by running the tweak "Enable Bluetooth Receive" using the Registry Wizard Program.
@glee719: This paste you did is about using Bluetooth headset for voice-dial.
The question is about the standard headset that goes with the Wizard . . . .
afaik the push-button on the headset works similar to the 'hook' buttons (green & red). Those do not trigger voicecommand either . . . .

Sorry to tell, it is not working for me, if i create a shortcut with "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe", and click on it, the voice command will lunch, however, putting the path in the reg, soft reset, press on buletooth handset doesn't work, any idea ?
By the way, how can we Set the microphone gain on the Wizard ? and how can we set the voice command to talk more and more louder ???
Yeah i'm interested to know how to make full use of the given headset, as i use it to listen to mp3 alot. The 'talk' button looks useless other than answering calls, unlike the w800i headset.
@rookery, this is NOT about the BT headset to activate VoiceCommand
Oh Sorry, did you mean the 2.5mm handfree, I don't have it in hand, does it work by the changing the reg key ???
hi to All,
useless to say i already tried the registry change for BT, and it didn't work for the STANDARD headset that is connected through the 2.5 mm jack. maybe, it is simply not possible.....
Is there a key for Talk button in the registry?
Does anyone know if there is a key for "Talk" button function in the registry?
We know there is one for BT headsets, but what about the conventional headset which comes with the device?
Anyone figure this out yet????????
Thanks
I just got this device, and I'm mostly pleased with it after applying various tweaks thanks to the fine people on this board. One problem I'm having though, is I am not able to voice dial contacts using my bluetooth headset. I have a Plantronics M3500 paired up with the device using hands-free profile, however pressing the button on the headset doesn't do anything to the MDA no matter if it is on or in standby mode. I saw messages on here that other people have this working, but so far, I haven't been able to. Is there something special that needs to be done? It worked fine for me on my Sony Ericsson P900 phone. Any suggestions are welcome. TIA.
Nevermind....
Uh... sorry just figured it out. It does work, but differently from my P900. I used to just press the button on the bluetooth headset, but with the Wizard, I have the hold down the button for a couple of seconds. Perhaps something to do with the hands-free vs. headset profile.
Are you using the stock voice dialer or Voice Command? I have been trying to find a way to activate Voice Command via the bluetooth headset button, without any success.

No, I'm just using the stock voice dialer. The headset is paired up with the MDA using the hands-free profile. When I press the button on the bluetooth headset and hold it for 2 seconds, I hear a litte tone and the MDA 'wakes up'. As I said in the message above, with my Sony Ericsson P900 phone, I used to just have to click the button, and the phone would go into voice dial. I'm guessing that the difference may be due to using the hands-free profile vs. the headset profile that was used with the P900.

Follow these directions, works great...

Yeah, what Dustoff said. The other thing to remember (I learned it from these forums) is that you need to press the headset button twice to fully disconnect from the MDA. The first click disconnects from Voice Command, the second click disconnects from the audio gateway.
microsoft voice command and bluetooth headset
I need help getting the microsoft voice command software to work through a bluetooth headset. I used the instruction provided via Bits Inside Registry Editor to change the command on my handheld, but was unsuccessful. My blueangel has the latest rom and ext rom updates via the standardization project, and the headset is a Motorola HS820
Please assist,

The keyword in your request is BlueAngel. This registry hack is for the wizard only. I am not familiar with how to do it for the BA.
Sorry...
sorry, i saw the info, got excited and didn't notice the type of phone listed.

I am using a Plantronics 510 BT headset, but i can't figure out how to get the voice activation working.
I beginning to think that it is not supported, read the manual and afaik it doesn't mention the subject at all.
Has anyone got it working yet?

I am not sure I understand your question but I use a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and when I press the "answer" button on the headset (when phone is not ringing) the "Voice Speed Dial" program comes up.
It does the same with all my jabra
Yes the voice dial function to dial numbers and startup programs is what I meant.
I got it working now
Apparently I have to hold down the button for a second or two to make it work.
Next time I should try a little harder to figure it

Hi,
I've got a SE BT HBH-660 and when I push the asnwer button, I4ve got the "beep beep" in the speaker telling me that the Headset try to connect to the phone, but for some reason the Phone does not wake-up each time.
To make the voice dial working I need to ON/OFF the BT stack on the phone side.
When my SE BT headset is on and I make a phone call, not all the time the phone connect to the headset.
Did someone figure out the same behaviour ?
If yes how does it solve this ?
waiting for a new rom that manage fine drivers bluetooth, I have abdicated to useCVC with the ear wireless bluetooth.
now i trying to use wire original headset.
If i push the botton start dialer (in my case Phonex)
Someone can to explain me if is possible to change it and make start another program: Cyberon Voice Command ?
Thank's in advance

Remap headset button (wired)?!
Hi,
I also would like to know how I can remap the wired-headset button to an application of my choice (ie mp3player or Voice Command).
I successfully remaped the answer button on the phone, but can't with the headset.
Any help appreciated!
bye
Bluetooth Headset
It seems that current versions of MSVC and Cyberon products simply do not work with bluetooth headsets and our ACERs. MSVC actually states that it will not work with Widcomm stack devices in its release notes.
I don't know if we'll ever be able to press the talk button on our headset and be able to speak a voice tag to call someone or open a program. It's one of the biggest weaknesses of our device. If anyone knows of a program or a workaround, I'd love to know.
