Best Voice dial software ? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi Guys, i know hat this forum has alot of different voice command software scattered all over the place.
I just wondered what people thought was the best one for the xda exec (using bluetooth headset) to activate.
I have tried MS voice Command, which is very accurate but does not switch off the BT connection once it closes it's voice rec system. This means that all system audio is then send to your headset until you manually switch it off with the button.
I like the Cyberon voice dial app supplied but having to create voice tags for everything is a pain
I cannot get Cyberon Voice Commander 1.5 to install correctly and the version on xda-dev's ftp site is chinese
I want to know what people think of Fonix apps, Voice Dial 2.0 seems okay but is limited to only dialing, no full control so would like to try fonix voice central 3.0 buit cannot find anywhere to download this.
what do you guys think.....which do you use (if any) and which do you think is best ?

Parrot CK3100 Voice Dialling

I have a Parrot CK3100 Car Kit and an M5000. I used to have an M2000 and when I pressed the Green handset on the handsfree car kit, it let me use the voice dialling I set up within the Parrot. With the M5000 it takes me to the PDA's own voice dialling, which I don't have set up properly, and tbh I don't think is as good.
Is there a way I can make it use the Parrot not the PDA? One thing I've just thought, I upgraded the firmware on the Parrot, maybe that wiped my phone numbers from it, along with any voice dialling. Would it then default to the PDA's own method?
The last question. If I get MS Voice Commander, which lets you voice dial anyone in your contacts, or open any applications without having to record your voice in advance, is it possible to get the voice dialling to use this? This is obviously the best thing as you can dial literally anyone without having to pre-record your voice.
what version of parrot sw do you have ?¿?
Regards
Do you mean its firmware? I think the latest as I've used the update tool with my laptop on it recently.
Hi Andy,
I've also got the Parrot CK3100 and the M5000. The Parrot has a menu option (I think under advanced settings > voice control) to choose between Parrot or mobile device for voice dialling.
Without MS Voice Commander installed you will need to train each voice command on the M5000/Parrot. However I have MS Voice Commander installed on my M5000 with the BT registry hack:
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
This allows me full voice control (without training) for applications, dialling etc. I do have some isses with background noise when using MS VC but that's cause I've got a small car and it's noisy inside. Also the BT link and MS VC don't seem to work perfectly together as the speakers usually get un-muted when you have to respont (only muted when MS VC speaks or beeps) to the MS VC prompt which if you have the stereo on at that time causes more background noise. I find with the stereo off I get about 90% accuracy.
Also a handy tip I found in the Parrot forum here:
http://www.parrot.biz/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=646
Get Pocket Informant which can send all you contacts to the Parrot in one go, read the post for info. Works for me.

Is there a way to make voice dial not repeat what I say?

When I want to use voice dial I say the name of the person I want it to dial, then it repeats what I've said back at me. I find that really annoying for some reason. Is there a way to make it just dial without repeating what I've said first?
if ur using voice command u can uncheck the 'confirm' option but u may call the wrong person sometimes if u dont pronouce it clearly
where is the "confirm" option, I can't find it anywhere...
Only MS Voice Commander not the default WM5 one

There seems to be much confusion regarding Voice Dialing software. There are three versions:
CVD - Cyberon Voice Dial (comes installed on Cingular 8125 and some other WM5 Phones)
CVC - Cyberon Voice Commander (the Retail Version and big brother to CVD)
MSVC - Microsoft Voice Command
The low down on these (this is my opinion based on using all three)
CVD isn't worth what they charge for it (yes I know it's free)...
1. You have to specifically record voice tags for each contact.
2. It only does dialing, no PDA functionas included.
CVC is cheap at on $15.00 and has a couple of functions that are nice like reading SMS messages to you and OEM integration with your bluetooth headset but I don't like it because...
1. The initial delay and waiting for the voice to prompt you is just too long.
2. Voice recgonition is spotty.
MSVC is the luxury version of these programs. With a little hacking you can get it to play with your bluetooth headset (mostly). It is fairly quick to be ready for your voice command (just wait for the beep). Finally it has the best voice recgonition of the three. The downside of MSVC...
1. It costs $40.00 but I've been using it for almost a year (bought it from Handango when they e-mailed me a 20% off coupon) and it's worth every penny.

Thank you for that good and clear explanation. Always wondered the main differences.

Using a Wizard with a Bluetooth Device

I have a wizard and I use Microsoft Commander for Voice dialing. (no need to record all the tags)
When I use a bluetooth handsfree and click on the handsfree device to activate voicedialing it selects to standard voicedialling software installed on the device.
Any ideas how to make it use the Microsoft Voice Commander
Cheers
Go to Start/settings/buttons and replace the standard voice dialing app with voice command. I think it is button 4.

Cyberon Voice Commander

Hi guys,
My Dopod 838 comes with a Cyberon Voice Commander which I find really useful.
The thing is, I havent been able to find its CAB file anywhere in the forums. I recently found one which is version 1.2... but Its just a voice dialer, it doesnt read SMS messages like mine does.
Ild like to install it to a T-mobile MDA phone I just bought. Is there a way to rip the application off my other phone?
Maybe give Voice Command a try?
I haven't used Dopod, but I've found MS Voice Command to be really helpful. I use it along with my bluetooth headset in the car. You can also get it to announce callers to you.
Not that I generally go around recommending the MS versions!
Cheers,

MS Voice Command & Object Push - Two q's

Good Evening guys,
Just a quicky
Firstly I have installed MS Voice command but how do I program in voice dials? I want to be able to use voice dialing while driving and I have programmed the button so I can dial using voice but can't find anywhere to actually program them in.
Secondly My handsfree for the car supports downloading the address book to it by object push. I have done it with other phones but I am guessing I can't do it with this one? Is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
Max
What handsfree kit are you using ?

By default, MS Voice Command maps it to a long press of the Send key.
And not sure what you mean by "program in voice dials" as MS Voice Command doesn't need you to record you saying a person's name, it figures it out via speech to text.
