Microsoft Voice Command - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi,
I am thinking of buying this software to run on my qtek 9100.
It is running a T-Mobile 1.6 rom with the blackberry connect.
Will it work OK?
Is it worth buying?
Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Dave

i use it and love it. only wish it would work with bluetooth headsets. it's nice to hear who is calling by a nice female voice rather than ringtones. the voice recognition is great as well.

I would recommend it.
The voice dialing works much better than the standard built in voice dialing (even though it has actually sampled your voice FFS).

It works great with bluetooth headsets. There's a couple of tweaks you need to do though. You can probably find it with a search.

Unfortunatly, the reg hack tweak for BT VC only works once. It stops working after you end a call.

Huh? I've never experienced this. Every time I push the button on my headset, Voice Command activates. No matter how many calls I've had. It might be a matter of the headset as well. I could never get my Jabra BT500 to work reliably...sold it. But my Tekkeon ET3000 works flawlessly.

I never had this problem. Here is the tweak I use:
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. Reset device.
When it stops working, does that registry value still show the right value?

works fine here
VC works great with my Cardo Scala 500. Sounds better too since they gave me free silicone caps. I can hear ringtones, notifications, etc. all through the headset.

How did you enable ring tones? Mine doesn't do that by default and I haven't figured out how to enable it.

I don't think that anyone can say that Voice Command works flawlessly over bluetooth.
The fact that pressing the button on the headset opens the audio gateway and it has to be closed before it can be opened again is a bug, not a feature. The audio gateway should close itself and doesn't.
The software has been out since January '05, I believe, so some bugs with Windows Mobile 5.0 are expected.
That being said, I love Voice Command despite its issues. Once Microsoft decides to release a new version that works better over bluetooth, I'll love it even more. It's presently still worth buying, definitely.

it's a great program, but needs to be updated for WM5. It should support activation from Bluetooth headset out of the box.
Some people seem to have it working, but with my Sony Ericsson HBH-662 it only works once after each reboot.

Mine also works only once through bluetooth - i got the latest Rom/Radio Rom (the Mr Clean one) installed, perhaps that has got something to do with it?

Hey Guys,
I installed voice command on my Tmo Wizard and the midst of uninstalling it, it gave me a message that it wasnt uninstalled correctly. It left a shortcut in the settings section. Ever since then when i try reinstalling it, it gives me a msg that another version is already installed. How do i remove the already installed one short of hard resettin my phone? Any help will be deeply appreciated. Any role for removing it via reg edit?
Thanks in advance.
:?:

It's a great piece of software. It has a few quirks which annoy me a little but hopefully they'll be sorted in the update if it ever comes.
When voice dialing a number e.g. dial 282 456... it insists on putting a zero infront of the number i.e. it will dial 0282 456.... I'm using the UK version BTW. I tried the US version up it didn't recognise my voice as well.
Also, the volume of the voice when annoucing this could be louder. there is no way to increace the volume.
It wold be nice if they expanded the command library to include more functions.

Re: Deep DooDoo
I finally fixed it a couple of soft resets later and trying to install the updated version 1.5 before installing version 1.0 and then uninstalling both and installing 1.0 and 1.5 together it finally worked!! Its a nice piece of software.
Email me if anyone wants detailed info.

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 - ISSUES!

I just got the Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (refer to as VC from here on) this morning and so far it has been quite disappointing.
I am using it on a Cingular 8525 with a Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435 headset (both are BT 2.0).
Right after the installation I noticed that the talk button on the headset did not trigger the VC so I did a power cycling.
After the power cycling the button will now trigger the VC as if I pushed the VC button on the phone but the problem is that it is not picking up my voice command via the headset but it is still listening from the phone's mic.
Any thoughts on this?

I see. Thanks for the info. Hope the patch will be available soon!
What is the probelm with the ver 1.6 and the TyTn? Is it just the TyTN rom or does it not function with the JasJam or the 8525 either?
Dp you guys know this by experience or is it posted somewhere?
PocketPCThoughts list the 8525 as a "compatible device".
The problem will affect all Hermes devices, and it will probably require a patch / a new dll and/or a registry hack to make things work properly. It should work, but it doesn't, and this goes to show you what a poor job of testing was done before product release.
If the single biggest additional feature/function (ie, bluetooth support) doesn't work properly, why was it shipped?

What do you mean it cant be installed. I have it installed on a TyTn and it works perfectly. I am not using a BT headset, so cant comment on that.
I've got v1.6 on an 8525 and it seems to working fine.
what exactly are the problems others are having with Hermes devices?
@DigitalFX: Hermes does support Bluetooth 2.0, but not Enhanced Data Rate.
@JCrompton: MSVC 1.6 does not route sounds/commands properly through a Bluetooth headset on the Hermes. You may be able to initiate a call with your headset button, but you'll be using the mic/speaker on the Hermes to complete it. Also, sounds/announcements are not working as advertised. HTC and M$ are working on a patch.
VC 1.6 works fine on my MDA with Motorola BT headset.

Seriously, why dind't any OEM use the Widcomm stack instead of the crappy MS one ?!
If only there was a way to hack the Widcomm stack and replace the MS one like they did with the Dell axims..

Wow! Have you done any registry hacks? I'd love to see what your Voice Command keys look like....

I have an 8525 also, and 1.6 works as MS says it does.
The headset button activates voice command, the Beep occurs on the 8525, and the mike on the 8525 listens for input. If I say, Dial ... or Call... then the call works fine on the BT headset like expected.
I know a patch is in the works to fix this issue, and when they do, 1.6 is superior to 1.5 for voice interpretation.
However, for now, I have 1.5 working perfectly fine. All features work, and all I had to do was enter/change 2 registry keys (only 1 was necessary)

So how loud do you have to shout for the mike on the 8525 to hear you if the phone is in the next room, or in your purse or you're driving? It might be the way MS intended it to work, but I doubt it.
[RANT]
I can't believe that MS wouldn't have caught this problem during beta testing. Speaks volumes (pun intended) for the current state of software development and testing at MS. Anyone know if MS Reader works with WM5 yet? How about full multi-user support for ActiveSync? Win XP has been around for years now with this funtionality. And while I am on my rant, how about SP3 for Win XP? Currently we would have to download and install over 70 (!) critical patches to SP2 just to get our computers to the dynamic state they are at today. Come on MS, enough is enough. Get your s#!* together!!

Can bluetooth headset trigger auto answer?

Apologies if this is an FAQ, but I've had a quick look and drawn a blank.
I've just got my first Windows mobile phone (Vario II) and one of the things I really miss compared to my old Nokia, is that when I connect my bluetooth headset, I'd like the phone to switch to 'auto answer' and for the volume to be set to max. When I disconnect the headset, I'd like the phone to refert to a 'normal' or 'general' profile.
I require this because I use it on a motorcycle in conjunction with an intercom system, and I need the phone to auto answer after say 2 rings.
Is this possible on a smartphone?
Regards,
Glenn
Join the club mate......
I've been using the Vario2 in combination with a Nolan N-102 with the N-comm BT kit on it.....
I've been #$^&# with it for weeks now and I've made some progression...
First you need a program that allows you to select profiles like Nokia used to have...
I use PocketzenPhone but maybe there are some other(better) programs to do that.....
So then u can swith to a bike profile I've made and enable auto answer....
I've run the cab file to redirect BT sounds to my helmet in stereo (floats somewhere on this forum)
The only thing I can't do at the moment is enable Voicedial from the helmet...
If I press the button designed to start it ........f%ck all happens....
Still working on that but I'm running out of ideas....so any help would be appreciated...

Hi, the reason you can't activate voice dialing from your headset might be to do with the BT Audio cab you have installed to redirect sound through your headset. If the cab you have installed is the most common one floating around then this actually disables the launch of voice dialing in favour of being able to toggle between sound in the headset and sound on the phone (pressing and holding down the call button for a few seconds on your headset normally).
If you look in the registry HKLM>software>OEM>voicecommand, if launchapenable has a value of 0 then it is disabled. You can enable it again by changing the value to 1 but this will mean that your headset button will now not work as an audio toggle feature because it will launch the voicedial software every time.
Not sure if this is the answer to your problem but it sounds like it might be, hope this helps
Am trying as we speak....thanks for the reply....see wat happens...
D.
Well.....Ive got good news and bad news....
The good news is that I can trigger voicecommand now......
The bad news is that MS voice command 1.6 is not reconizing my accent...(dutch)...
So out of 10 tries it never called the number i wanted.....
So I tried the build in SDdialer.....and that one is doing a better job....
However I can't make the sounds to stick in my helmet........
I mean...
With MSVC by pressing the button on the helmet I could redirect the sound to the helmet and get a voicecommand tone at the same time....
By symply not speaking or saying '"cancel" it would cancel the voicecommand but the sound stayed in the helmet.....
With SDdialer following the same steps as above the sounds does not stay in the helmet but goes back to the speaker......
Any ideas????
BTW is there a dutch version of MS voice command?
If you go back into the registry, in the same location as before, check the value that is in VoiceCmdDuration (This is the amount of time the voice prompt stays active for in seconds) .. the audio cab file usually sets this to 86400 (24 hrs in seconds), if yours is low eg. 10, 20, 30 etc.., set it to 86400 and that may sort out the problem.
Duration is set fort 24 hrs....already..
Funny thing is that MSVC is not cutting out and the sddialer is...
Regsetting stay the same.....
By pressing the button on helmet I just change the exe file.....
Only option is to try and get MsVC to work and get use to my voice....
D.
Hmmm booking slow process.....tryed to call with MsVC and now 2 out 2....
Ordered to play media from helmet......worked..
This is only sitting in the livingroom with helmet on.....looks absolutely silly but thats besides the point
P$ssing with rain here so hoping for better weather to go for a roadtest...
So thing needed for me to get it to work...
-MsVC 1.6
-Bluetooth stereo cab
-Regedit from the MsVC topic..
-PocketzenPhone for designing profiles.....however thinking on removing that...and see how that works.....
D.
I am glad that you are at least part way there to solving the problem
I don't have Voice Command on my phone. On the rare occasion I use voice dialling I use the standard SDdialer program but my sound diversion does not revert back to the handset like yours.
I must have changed something on it to get it working but I am afraid I don't know what because, when I was trying to get it working, I tried absolutely everything and it was quite a while ago now so I have forgotten what I did
It sounds like Voice Command is going to be okay for you though so that is good.
By the way, Phonealarm is also another good profile switching program.
Thanks for the replies guys, but I think I may have accidentally discovered my own solution.
On my T-mobile vario II, if I go to the Phone->Settings and select the 'more' tab (need to scroll along the last tab at the bottom of the screen) there is an option to 'Automatic pickup' which will auto answer a call after x number of rings.
I had always assumed this would kick-in even if no headset was present. However, I've just done some simple testing, and it looks like the auto answer only kicks-in if the phone is currently in comms with a headset (I used a bluetooth one but probably the same for the supplied 'hands free' kit).
So this functions exactly as I want it to.
Oh, and Pdanny, for background info I'm using a Nolan 101 (no bluetooth) with speakers and mic installed. These connect to my 'Starcom' intercom (via an old fasioned curly lead) which allows me to hear directions from my 'TomTom' and also take phone calls via the starcom/phone bluetooth partnership. Down side is that the wife can also talk at me .
As I never want to initiate a call while riding, this setup works just perfect for me. I don't need to remember to change the phone setup either before or after mounting the bike. As soon as the bike ignition is turned on, the intercom partners with the phone. Then if I receive a call, it auto answers and I can take the call. Once the ignition is switched off, the phone reverts to normal non-auto answer.
In my research for this issue I came across an app called 'phonealarm' (from pocketmax.net), it was the manual for this that made me try the above experiment. This looks like a neat app and I may still end up installing it as long as it does not hog the processor.
[edit]OOps sorry Nicky, just noticed you already mentioned phonealarm. I'd be interested in any comments you have about this app, good ot bad [/edit]
Once again, thanks for the replies, and I hope this thread helps someone in the future.
Regards,
Glenn
Phonealarm......give that a try thanks.....
Im also going to test with the buils in auto pick up.....
I knew it was there but i assumed that it would ALWAYS auto pick up...
It seems that that is not the case therefore making the Pocketzenphone and possibly phonealarm obsolete.....
I also get all the sounds over BT in my helmet....incl TT
Also... I don't have a wife .......sounds like a perfect world hey???
Keep you posted on the outcome of the xperiment....
Grtz
Danny
Hi knnelg, glad you managed to sort your problem. I always knew the option for autoanswer was in the settings but like you, I had assumed that it would autoanswer all calls regardless of whether a headset was connected so it is handy to know that it only applies when in headset mode.
You asked about opinions on Phonealarm, I think it is a great program. I have used it on my Vario II and my last phone, an XDA Mini S, and it is has always worked fine, no problems at all.
I really missed having phone profiles when I switched to PDA style phones so Phonealarm was one of the first 3rd party apps I ever bought and I wouldn't be without it now Also, Bruce, the developer of phonealarm, is very good at listening to users input and if enough people make a suggestion about an improvement or tweak to the program, he will implement it in future versions which is really nice.
One of the other programs Pocketmax does, Alarmtoday, is useful too.

Audio routing

I KNOW I KNOW, WIDCOMM stack...but what I want to know is basically can I route audio properly to my mono plantronics headset. I used to do this with my Wizard, and the headset routes audio fine during phone calls. Why can't a small program force this connection for streaming music. I don't care if it sounds like crap, i just want to be able to listen to it. ARGH this is driving me crazy. Any help would be nice.
If you are just going to say "try the widcomm stack" please don't. I read it doesn't play well with MS Voice Command and I use VC too much to not be able to have it function properly. Thanks in advance...
I used BTAudio Toggle with my 8125 and the 640 (to listen to MP3's off of TCPMP or WMP). Have you tried it on your current phone?

I know you don't want to hear it, but upgrade to WM6, and then apply Widcomm stack and MS vc 1.6. Works great. As a matter of fact, I installed it because Ms VC didn't seem to work right with ms bluetooth stack. Now, plantronics 640 works great, all audio is routed and MS Voice Command works flawlessly....

I got a weird one. I connected my pda to my pc via High Quality Audio profile.
Now when I play a music file on my PDA, I get no sound from my speakers, but, upon going into Sounds Control Panel in Vista, I see the Bluetooth Microphone is receiving the data. When I stop the song, the data stops. When I play, it starts. How do I reverse this so that when I play a song, it shows up on my PC as output and not input, this is strange...

Not sure if it's the same mortscript I'm using, but in the MS VC Bluetooth thread there is one posted as well.
Using the steps there, I'm quite easily able to switch from VC to mono audio routing.

Just install mortscript (find RC9) and then the mscr files will run as applications. You can put them in your applications folder and even run them using voice command if you have it.
If you want to write your own scripts, it comes with documentation, and you can find a few examples at gthing.net/scripts <----would really appreciate more scripts on that site if anyone has any they can upload.
gthing, thanks for the reply! I am going to look into this!

Ok, none of these things help...in fact the wicomm stack doesn't work with my bluetooth headset (plantronics 320) and I can't even un-install the damn thing. It just locks up my phone in the endless spinning rainbow wheel, or literally freezes. More-over none of these replies help as far as routing all sound from my phone to a MONO bluetooth headset...

MSVC 1.6 notifications - help (Microsoft Voice Commander)

I used to use MSVC 1.6 on the Tytn2 on WM6.5 (see sig) and the confirmation notifications when you called someone always used the bluetooth headset. Since running it on the Leo MSVC seems to use the loudspeaker on the handset instead of the bluetooth headset even though every setting is marked as "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"
Anyone else having this issue as I did a search and couldn't find anyone.
Edit: Just had it working once but then the other end couldn't hear me when the call connected. Then I tried again and it had reverted back to not working.
I went to Bluetooth settings, Advanced, Audio and ticked the box then rebooted the phone...
I have this same problem! Its annoying... you want to make a call and the prompts/confirmation come from the phone... Please, can someone figure this out?

IT isn't... I have done more research..
The Leo (and the TouchPro2) use a Widcomm BT stack as opposed to the usual MS stack. Sadly, this means the BT won't play nice with a lot of different apps/equipment. This isn't something that can be swapped out easily as NRG has pointed out. Touch Pro 2 users are still facing the same problems even though that phone was released much earlier. Some however have reported some success when using certain custom ROMS... how its working with some ROMS and not others is still a mystery it seems
I would watch the ROM Development thread carefully to see if a ROM what works with our MSVC shows up....
Hello,
Is there a workaround... ?
Thanks in advance for any info,

I have the same problem. I'm using an old phone when I need to use hands-free. After spending a lot of money on my HD2, I'm not impressed.
I there a particular combination of headset and software that does work, especially for voice dialing?

Workaround
Hi,
for this following workaround seems the only way to get it runnin:
My BT-Headset has the ability to be set as a Stereo-Device. When I establish a connection to this Stereo-Device, I can use it (my BT Headset) to give Commands and recieve "answers" from the VC. In case I want to start a phone-Call, my headset changes the connection automatically from "Stereo-Device" to "Handsfree-Device" and back, after finishing the Call.
This may be the Reason, why someone here already got it running with a BT-Stereo-Headset.?
Sorry for my bad english...

Bluetooth can place calls but not receive them

I have a problem and have't been able to find any information on it. I have a TMoUS HD2. I had an original Jawbone lying around so I paired it and it works perfectly. I decided to pick up a Jawbone 2. I paired it, but it developed a problem. While outgoing calls are no problem, I cannot answer calls with it, nor can I initiate voice dialing with it. Incoming calls are routed through the handset. I deleted the pairing, and re-paired it to no effect. I also tried the original Jawbone again and it again worked fine. What I don't understand is why it initially worked properly, then developed this problem (with no changes to the phone).
Any ideas?
me too

well, it was probably me. I was answering with the handset rather than the earpiece. it didn't matter with the old one, but it does with this one. chalk it up to unfamiliarity with the newer unit. either that or the phone woke up in a better mood today.
sorted
Yes, thanks for that, pressing the call control on the headset is the answer, also found the autoanswer option which should also fix it. Lots of stuff seems to be hidden away on 6.5.
Still learning after all these years.

Glad my fumbling around with this thing was able to help someone.
