Has anyone used the earphone with Microsoft Voice Commands? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi All,
There are a lot of posts about getting a Bluetooth headset to work with Microsoft Voice Commands properly, I think we can say that unless there is a new bluetooth stack, we have given up hope.
However I wonder if this can be done with the earphone that comes with the Blue Angle, you can hear everything in it, all that is missing is MAPPING the earphone Button to the activate voice commands.
Thanks.

XDA2s and MS Voice Command 1.5

Hi all,
Does the XDA2s and Microsofts Voice Command work on a XDA2s?
I'm not English, but I'm sure my English is good enought!
Whenever I give a voice command I get a "please repeate" error..
I think it's something with the mic gain, but where and how do I set it lower? Enabling/Disabling the Microphone AGC settings did not really help!
Any suggestions?
You should rather forget about this application. I tried to use it but with no success, exactly like you. Then I tried other applications (with the same result) and finally I followed suggestions from this forum: Neuvoice - it works and it's cheap.

Thanks Maciej L,
Yes I think I will dump it.. It really sucks...
Looks nice the Neuvoice. To bad there is no demo to test it 1st
Yes there is a demo version, just download the full version from somewhere and it works as demo until you purchase the unlock code (as far as I can remember - but I'm not 100% sure - so you should by yourself)

XDA IIs Fonix Application
I have just received my XDAIIs upgrade from an XDA II and it comes complete with Fonix Voice Dial. It automatically records test voices against your contacts (name number) and then you can call it up any time. You can also record your own voice which makes it more efficient. It also works with bluetooth. It seems an OK applicaiton to me.
Is this what you have been talking about? :lol:
In a quiet environment, it really doesn't have any problems with recognizing my commands. As long as you don't have a terrible English accent. However, you can forget about if you are in a loud environment though.
of where you have downloaded it to you.
I don't find any demo in any place
greetings and thank you
XDA IIs Voice Software

Voice Command 1.5
well, I have to say MS Voice Command works great for me. 95% hit rate on about 1000 contacts in my xdaIIs. Even in the car. Far better that V1.01. A couple of tips from my experienece with it.
1. Make sure the microphone auto gain is "disabled"
2. If it initially has problems and hit rate is very low, a soft reset usually sorts it out
3. Map the "record" button to Voice Command for easier access.
4. If your car is noisy, use a wired head set while driving. (I have not been able to get the bluetooth voice dialing to work at this point)

Hmmm... With none of the Voice dial programs I've been able to get the bluetooth to work.. Not sure if it's the bluetooth unit itself, or if it's some ROM version thingy...
The BT headset is a SE HBH-600. The XDA2s is with ROM version 1.12.62 WWE and radio version 1.02.00.
Can/will this work with bluetooth voice dialing??
MS Voice Command & BT Voice Dialing
No, sorry, I have not been able to make it work. I think its still an issue with the implementation of the BT stack (in this case the Widcomm stack) on the HTC devices. I can establish a connect from my headset to the device, but does not "link up" with voice dialing.
I now use a regular noise cancelling wired headset in the car, via an adapter plug sold by PockPCTechs (www.pocketpctechs.com) Other wise just use the phone mic to initiate a voice command dialed call

I was going to ask how well this works?
I'm getting a BT car kit fitted literally in the next hour and was hoping I'd be able to voice dial like I could my old Nokia, while driving.
I am using
O2 xda2s with microsoft voice software
I have a fairly noisy sports car but it works well..
I have the voice mapped to contacts button so one press and direct voice towards pda and no botha.... about 95% hit rate on 200 contacts..
I must add it has only been that good since buying a brodgit car cradle so it positioned well.. obviously you have to turn stereo off
the only complaint i have with it is that when the voice speaks back to you to confirm what you have said I cant hear it very well..
does anyone know of any settings to improve audio levels..
cheers
stay happy
Hi Guys
I have upgraded my 'Voice Command' handsfree solution as follows.
1. Added an FM 'Sound Feeder' from Pocketpctechs, that connects to the xda via one of 2 different pocketpctechs audio adaptors.
2. Tune the radio to one of the 8 frequencies supported by the Sound Feeder and the xda then plays all audio output through the car stereo system. This works for all apps, including my Navman GPS and Media Player!. I also mapped a button (I used the record button) to Voice Command, so one press activates VC and I can initiate a call by voice from there.
The really nice thing about this arrangement is that if i have media player running through the system, and a call comes in, the music mutes automatically, the phone rings, and i can take the call. When you end the call, media player picks right up again!
3. For the microphone part, there are 2 options:
a. The one I am using right now, is to use the pocketpctech 'single' adaptor, that allows sound to play through the stereo, while keeping the mic of the xda active. This means the xda picks up your voice directly for voice command and telecons, while at the same time playing the sound you normally hear via headphones, through the stereo. This works great for the incoming voice, although you need to talk fairly loudly for the party calling to hear you well. Decent enough though...
b. The upgrade I will make this weekend is to use the 'dual' pocketpctechs adaptor. This one accepts the soundfeeder on one side, plus a regular 2.5mm heasdset on the other. This one disables the internal xda mic, and allows you to use the mic from the headset. So I plan to permantly position this mic (after cutting off the ear bud!) on the door pillar as in normal car hands free installs. This should improve the outbound sound a good bit....
Will let you know how I get on
Regards
Chris
In the end, the Parrot CK3100 car kit has its own built in voice recognition, so I have no worries
Great! I looked at the Parrot a while back. How much was it? Work ok?
Regards
Chris
Well, I've not really had chance to test it properly yet, seems to be good. Cost me £180 to have it fitted, the old one removed and a bit of extra power wired in for my GPS & PDA.
Hi Andy
Sounds good. Let us know how it works out for you. I am interested in how the bluetooth connection holds up. I am still having problems with my xda maintaining a connection with my bluetooth headset.

BT Audio re-direction

Having successfully installed TomTom6 and Skype, I really want to get the audio re-directed to the BlueTooth headset. I am currently trying BlueMusic since this appears to be the only solution that also re-directs the mic input so that Skype can be used via a BT headset.
However, it's not working as it should.
Pressing the headset button re-directs it for a few seconds, then the Voice dial app appears and audio goes back to the speaker.
Pressing the buttons in BlueMusic's Today plug-in switches it away from the speaker, but it doesn't get to the BT headset which remains silent.
Awaiting a response from Teksoft about this, but has anyone here experienced this or even better know how to fix it?
No-one seems interested, but I'll update this thread in any case.
Teksoft released a newer version that works correctly. I'm so impressed I bought the product.
Need I say more?

I remember I got it automayically when I was on the Dopod ROM Try that and see. I tend to listen to radio in the car so TomTom on BT is not a priority My skype usage does not waarant the extra software

T-Mobile Dash (WM6): Voice Command through Wired Headset?

Hello all,
I have a T-Mobile Dash running WM6, and I'd like to use the voice command application through the wired headset that came with it. Is this possible, and if so, how do I set it up? I can activate it manually, but pulling the phone out of my pocket and holding the "home" key for a few seconds is not very convenient; I'd rather just hit the button on the headset. Not to mention this makes handsfree dialing while driving impossible...
I've already spent enough money on this phone without having to buy a bluetooth headset along with it, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've hunted around and it looks like I would need to hack the registry on my Dash to use Voice Command with a bluetooth headset; is there a similar hack I could apply to make Voice Command work with a wired headset?

Best Bluetooth Headset For Me?

Well I'm pretty new to this stuff and was wondering if there was a bluetooth headset out there that will do what I want it to do and if so, what is the best one. I've got a AT&T Tilt running Duttys WM6.1 release and I also have voice command installed. Is there a BT headset out there that will allow me to listen to audio from music and videos and also act a a voice headset for the phone that will work with MS Voice command? Right now I just have a regular Jabra BT headset that works fine with the phone and voice command, but I would love to be able to have music played through the headst as I'm driving down the road and also have Tom Tom directions come through the ear piece.
Is what I'm asking for possible? If so what headset should I get.
Thanks in advance,
JMan

Hi JMan -- I just got a Tilt and made my first call today, so I'm really new! Seeing that I only occassionally can actually see the text on the phone, I am also looking at MS' Voice Command as a possible solution. While music would be nice, it's not a deal-breaker for me, but everything else you mentioned, is. Any gotchas by going to a different ROM along with Voice Command? Thanks.
Google BTAudio - it'll direct all sound to your headset, VC still works. Only gotcha, (at least with TCPMP) music doesn't stop on an incoming call or if you have notifications for email/txt, etc to your headset.

Hey!
I'm a proud owner of this bt stereo headset. Everything works fine except of small hissing when playing music. Can't do a thing about it. If anyone can help... thanx a lot. But my main question is: Qtek has a Voice recognition software. Is there a possibility, how to make one of the buttons on the headset, starting the ms voice recognizer software and make commands only by talking to headset? Because I don't see a meaning of this software if i have to pull my qtek of my case and open it, then push the button on it, and tell the device "What Time Is It?" because i can see it on the display already.
Thanks guys
