Hi,
I used microsoft voice command...but it didn´t work out...many "screen" mistakes..
It only works about 2-3 weeks....after that i press the green button to phone somebody and i got a hard reset... :x
i never used it again and my mda is working fine now....

Am in the uk, i have been using the voice command since mid 2004 from 1.01 to 1.5upgrade. it works for me. Though its not perfect but the 1.5 version is a great inprovement. I currently have a cold .. tried saying the following commands "what time is it", "play pink floyd" it seems to work for me.
sometimes i tend to pronunce names or files names like the program would, so media player would be "midia pleyer" or "Gwen Stefani" Gwen Stephanie
at least i don't have to train the program :lol:

i personally recommend Fonix VoiceCentral 2.0
this program not only allows you to do what Microsoft Voice command can do, it has a feature where u can mark those program/contacts that you will use often and unmark those that you dont wish to use at all.
this will help to minimize the confusion of calling name that is close to each other.
secondly. it also allows you to record your voice for the particular contacts or programs, so that you can easily call them out.
The reason why Microsoft disallow the program to be exported to world wide is because they are trying to control the piracy, if i am not wrong

I use vocie command myself and have had no problems, no voice training and it works perfectly, quite cool just saying "Play album by blah" and WMplayer just fires up and belts the tracks out.
I use my XDAIIs as a MP3 player and have it picks my voice up even in my coat pocket walking down a busy street.
Only minor gripe is that as it's only sold in US the voice dialling won't recognise UK dialling codes (only us formats) so this means you can only voice dial numbers form contacts
Got my copy on one of those extended trials :wink: ,if you can't get hold of a copy let me know and we'll sort something

well, if the program is intended for US, even there is a way to sort the program, it might not work well with in my country.
you know what i mean

Microsoft Voice Command - Does anyone use this?

i've installed voice command on my m5000. works like a dream and i'd highly recommend it. you can get the phone to do nearly everything using your voice ( )
The only things it cannot do - unless someone can tell me otherwise are:
a) read out your task list
b) dictate a text or note.
other than that it's spot on

Download
Where do we download that program?

Maraming salamat!
That's "many thanks" in Filipino!

Just so you'll know,
Voice Command does NOT read task lists or allow you to dictate a message. (yet).

Which is the best for XDA 11i Voice Command or VoiceDial ?/
Thanks !

Mine read out my task for that day what version do you have 1.50 microsoft has an update for free on their website

voice speed dial

sorry for new topic here but in these voice speed dials is there one that just finds it in the phone book ala the duo or are they all where u have to program them in, all the ones i have seen u have to program each persons name or whatever in the voice speed dial thing to access em, was looking for something like the duo does and it just finds it when u say a name thats in the contacts, thanks in advance for any help and again sorry for the new topic, but i have searched and searched i may have over looked something looks like what i am asked is, is there way to use voice speed dial without setting up voice tags first?

Voice Commander, either by Cyberion or Microsoft don't require "voice tags". Meaning you have to record something for every name or program you want to use. Try looking them up in the other threads (they are discussed) , but even better - read about them from their respective websites. Solving the bluetooth problem with these are my biggest nightmare. So guess life is good if that's the biggest problem!
Cheers

Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0, can it work with Bluetooth??

ok so i tried MS Voice 1.5 and didn't like it at ALL!
then i tried a cab that everyone was recommending as i have been searching the board. that cab is: CyberionVoiceSD_for_WM6_v1.2_build_61226_1_fixed... it worked kinda. however it was old and not what i was looking for.
then i kept searching, desperately not trying to post and ask for 2.0. as to not be yelled at by everyone. however I FOUND IT!! it took a ****load of searching with this new horrible search engine. anyway i love 2.0, its just what i was looking for.
i mapped the activation to my old PTT button. however when i put on bluetooth, the audio still comes from the phone and wants u to talk into the phone speaker. i even have a jabra, single ear a2dp headset so its even more strange the audio still comes from the phone.
i need the be able to map my bluetooth button to activate this program. i also need to use the mic in my BT for the commands.
here the cabs, i prefer Cyberon_VoiceCommander_2.0_913.2 , obviously

From my experience...
Cyberon VC isn't worth the hassle. In the end BT support isn't supported. I've played with, researched and searched to no avail. It is trash. Use MS VC and you'll be much less frustrated. If you did search, you may have found the discussion on this subject more than a couple of times. Either let it go or wear a helmet.... you'll be hitting your head against a wall.
On the search engine comment, you might try google search. It's better, but the problem isn't the search engine so much as it is the entire infrastructure of these forums. They are debating it as we "speak". Really smart people who are passionate about the subject. An unfortunate typical approach to problem solving.

First VC 1.5 is not intended to work with WM6.
If you own a legit copy you can upgrade to 1.6 for $10, otherwise 1.6 will cost you $40 and is well worth the cost.
Closing this thread as this is a question that has been covered again & again.

Voice Command sucks so badly..Options?

Cyberon Voice Commander, that came on my TouchPro, sucks so badly.
Not only doesn't it work very well, but the women's voice is so annoying,
I would throw her out of bed!
I liked the older MS Voice Command much better. does anyone know if this progrma works on the TouchPro.

MS Voice Command works great with Touch Pro...AT&T actually includes it with the Fuze.

http://rs555cg.rapidshare.com/files/141620026/1409235/Microsoft.Voice.Command.v1.6.19213.rar for the cab extracted from that ROM.
Extracting a program from a certain phone that is came with to place it on a phone it didnt originally come with is considering warez.
We all know about warez and links to it on this forum
Forewarning

It is hit or miss with me....goes something like this.
Press button on headset...beep beep
Me: Call George Smith
Phone: Call Bill Smith
Me: Cancel
Phone: Cancel
Me: press button...beep beep
Me: Call George Smith
Phone: Call Jorge Symth?
Me: Cancel
................
20 minutes later
Me: press contacts locate George Smith, hit call.
Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes, it thinks I can't speak English.
Comical, but that's been my luck with voice dial, "you talk, it types" programs etc...Speech is a strange thing. I'm sure it will get fixed one of these days,
but there are so many variables with speech.

1. Is there any way to completely delete Cyberon Voice Commander from my Touch Pro.
I would like to do this before I load MS Voice Command.
2. DeniaL, I've got a store bought copy of MS Voice Command v. 1.5.
Do you know if this version will run on The Touch Pro?
3. Does MS offer a free upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6?

I think the Voice commander chick is mocking me!

1. there are some custom made ROMs out there w/o this annoying Cyberon thingy - but remove without reflashing: nope. It's burnt into ROM. But after installing MSVC, deleting an existing pairing with your Headset and reconnecting it's quite gone. MSVC has taken over then. More in the guide down below - and even more in the original thread beyond posting 9.
2. I'm not DeniaL, but in former times there was a very VERY fine tutorial for it from bengalih - Definitive Guide for Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC) on the Kaiser/Tilt 2.0 - it's now partially gone as well as bengalih - respectively bengalih has taken his wisdom with him. -- Originally written for Kaiser but works on raphael like a charm (tested). (original article as attachment below)
MSVC 1.5 is intended for use with WM 5.0, it's very outdated and will not work; 1.6 was built for WM 6.x but works with WM5 as well.
3. Do you believe in miracles? - NO i suppose - and so does Microsoft. But PocketGear has an ---> offer for 10 US$
So long and HTH
EDIT: There are different versions:
US-english, UK-english, french, german, ...(even more?).
Since I use the german one I don't know if the two english versions differ in voice synthesis.

LOL at the video, that's cool. Well, I'm using Vista's voice recognition casually (Vista Business) and without training I get fairly good results. Maybe 'cos I don't have neither an accent nor a dialect. I think results with my spoken english might differ even it's fair enough tho (no ugly german accent)
Other fine results
But MSVC on Windows Mobile may have some problems b/c english is very colorful: kiwi, aussie, oxford, scottish, canadian, north, east, west, south, middle, west-coast, [...] the individuality is overwhelming and there is no option to train (which is a pretty bummer) but that's why there are UK and US versions: the recognition schemes are different.
But as far as I can say a major problem is: speaking too loud, speaking too slow, speaking in discrete words other than in a flow, eating up the microphone... just hold it 1 ft. or 30cm in front of your face and speak just normally - and have microphone auto-amp off. Very fine results for my part. Maybe with a bit more forté --- and in louder environment just a bit nearer and cover the mic with your finger after your last word is said. (...kay... took me three months to perfectionalize that) AND to make use of more nicknames (typed like the spoken name sounds like; helps a lot!)
Just my five cents, hth and so long
