I have WM6 installed on my Wizard along with MS Voice Command 1.6. All of my contacts on my sim card are also in the phone. But the phone contacts have home/work/cell numbers while the sim card just has the contact's cell number.
The problem is when I say "Call John Smith at Home", the SIM card contact is found first, and VC complains that it can't find a home phone. It only allows me to call the cell phone.
I can't find a setting to make VC only search phone contacts. Does such a thing exist? Is there a registry setting that could do this?
I don't want to delete my sim contacts because I often use my sim card in another device.
Any help would be appreciated!
Same Problem Here Also
I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a fix?
If you need more info just let me know! Cingular 8125 with NBD WM6 ROM

I just bought a new ATT Fuze on 12/22/08 and I am having an issue with Voice Command.
I have many contacts that have only one phone number. Example John Doe and only have his mobile phone number entered. If I say “Call John Doe” it will not dial. If I add another phone number in the Home field, Voice Command will now work and will ask whether I want mobile or home. Also, even with two phone numbers entered, Voice Command will not work if I say “Call John Doe Mobile”. I have to stop short and let VC ask me if I want mobile or home. Then it will work.
Question, why won’t Voice Command work with contact entries with just one phone number entered. Is there something I can do to make it work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Anybody??? I hear crickets.....
I can't believe that I am the only one having this problem. Isn't there anybody that knows what the problem is and how to fix it?
Thanks.
My last phone was a nokia 6210 Navigator. It had a setting that spoke the name of the person calling. I thought it was pretty good as I didnt need to look at my phone to see who was calling me. Is there anything like this for the HD2??

Hey I have got same problem, I tried MS Voice, but its no got, wasted my money.
Ive just tried Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. The voice is naff. All I want it to do is say the callers name, Nothing else. Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 say "Call from xxx at home from Vodafone" or something along those lines, I couldn't quite make all of it out. Its bobar!
voice command hasn't worked properly for a while. once upon a time it used trip announce incoming caller..theres a guy trying to get it working in dev and hacking.check out his thread for more details.
one option is to record the most common callers you have as a voice tag, mp3 or whatever, then assign each one as a ringtone., lot ofwork though..
AT&Ts website says that it supports voice dialing. The Samsung Galaxy S website says that there should be a Voice Command app. Where is it? I don't see it anywhere! I paried up my bluetooth headset and when I push the button (which on my last phone would activate Voice Dial) nothing happens.
Anyone??
Voice dialing via bluetooth on Android 2.1 doesn't work.
Android 2.2 fixes it (Nexus One FTW!), who knows when Captivate will get the update.
Tap and hold the Search button to activate voice search.
There should be an app called Voice Dialing. Use that to voice dial.

I beg to differ, I just figured this out. You can say "call -contact name-" and it dials the number.

Don't know what magic you're doing, but when I do that it just does a google search for "call [contact name]"
My Captivate does the same thing, I have tried to voice dial and all it does is google search. Everyone keeps saying there is an app but there isn't. It is pissing me off, I downloaded apps and none of them work. This really really bites.
I will be watching this thread anxiously.
But I may be making progress! I have purchased VLingo, and it looks like it may end up working like Microsoft Voice Command.
I just did a "Call <First/Last Name> on Mobile, and it dialed".
I'll post back as I progress. This is exactly what I"m looking for.

I'm not sure either then. I simply hold the search button at the bottom-right of the phone, it prompts for voice, then i simply say "call XXXXXXX" and it dials. I do have to say the entire contact name, though, both first and last name, exactly how it appears in the list. But it works
I just tried it and it worked for me too. FAST.
What is missing is a validation step, like MS Voice command offers. It will never understand you correctly all the time.
No Voice Dial for Me Too!
I don't seem to have the ability to voice dial either.
Speaking a contact's name into the Google utility only pulls up a Google search.
I would be interested to know if the people that are having similar problems have their phones rooted or not.
I am rooted.
I am rooted, as of this morning, and it was just an hour or so when I realized I could do it with Google search and didn't need Vlingo

I could do it before I was rooted
When I use voice dial I have to say contact name and either mobile or home or work to get it to work right.
How is Voice Dial Activated?
How, exactly, are successful users activating Voice Dial?
Is it just by pressing the microphone button on the Google search bar on the home screen? Or is there supposed to be a dedicated "Voice Dial" app?
Also, where are the settings located to configure voice dial?
I was able to get it work. I use the google search widget and click the microphone then speak. BUT, it only finds contacts that are from Google. If I try to call any of my Exchange contacts it does a google lookup, but if it is a contact from google sync (gmail/voice) it works fine.
I can't get mine to work. Been trying it for the past two days.
The google search voice command isn't voice dialing for me. I have no idea what is going on. HELP ME lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix all the problems including this.
We've Been Scammed!!!
AT&T has scammed us!
I chatted online today with ATT support and the person said that I would have to pay monthly for their voice dial service. After telling her, politely, where to stick her voice dial service, she suggested that I contact Samsung.
After 45 mins, and two support people later, it was finally explained to me that the Captivate is the only version of the Galaxy S that does NOT come equipped with the Voice Command software and that I would have to purchase a third party app from the Market in order to get that capability.
So what it looks like to me is that ATT had the voice command function removed on the Captivate so they could push their own voice dial plan for $4.99 per month.
BASTERDS!!!
I can't wait for the ROMs to start rolling out so I can exact my revenge!

you have to say the full name thats in the address book for it to immediately dial as well. if you dont it shows the "did you mean" box and you can choose from there.
I installed Vlingo from Marketplace. Works like a charm. The programs from Marketplace are all pretty cheap compared to WindowsMobile.
My voice dial works. however I have to enunciate very clearly and quickly.
"call Contact Name" brings me to the Contact's page to select which number to dial.
"call Contact Name mobile" dials immediately.
There is even a confirmation feature for my phone where it gives a pop up with my Contact's picture with a ring slowly rotating around it with an option to "dial" or "cancel" doing nothing until the ring completes it's 360 degree rotation will default to dialing, pressing dial will dial immediately, and cancel will cancel the command.

Hi guys
Just wandering if anyone can throw some light on the reason my gear s3 refuses to voice dial, it understands my request no issues and displays the command on the screen
" Call dave" for example, the s3 hears it, displays it correctly
there is one contact with dave who has 1 number assigned
the s3 thinks for a second or 2 then displays " i did not get that" or " who do you want to call" it simply refuses to read contacts
stupid thing, it just displayed everything it needed but it just refuses to work, initially i thought contacts would be transferred to the watch, now i realise its a server thing but this has been like this now for a week since i got it so i cant see it being a server down issue
The phone i am using is a S7 edge with latest update and it is not running anything other than standard firmware and a square home from end, which is the w10 look
i tried resetting the watch but no joy, i tried changing the watch language to US no joy, checked the phone is syncing contacts to samsungs storage
and doing a search on the net actually brings up very little info on this issue
has anyone got any thoughts, here in the Uk having a device that voice dials whilst driving is a real must, i have BT in the car but dialing it is a pain so the watch would be a real help... if it would freakin work
TBH i wish i could use Cortana for voice assist, but that aint gona happen
The more i try different voice commands the more the issue points to lack of sync with contacts... what am i missing ?? just tried to send a text via voice and the s3 watch cant find any contacts
Hmm i had an almost whilst messing with the thing just now, i changed language from English auto to just English... now when i ask it to call a name the watch displays ( Contacts syncing ) that is as far as i have got, it still refuses to dial anyone, and checking my contacts in the watch they are all there
i have a similar issue, when I say call XXX, its then says "syncing contacts" and sites there, If manually go into contacts and call someone its fine, why it decides it needs to sync contacts at this point I dont know, why, must be a bug.
