Buttonless (MS) Voice Command?

So, here's my situation:
After I go to the gym, I like to go to the hot tub. That's simple. What I do is put my Mogul in my backpack and play music through my HT820 Motorola headphones. Also easy. Problem is: I have shuffle through my WHOLE collection of music on my storage card to get anywhere, which can take minutes sometimes. Enter MSVC.
This seemed like the best thing for my needs, the only problem is that it requires hitting the blasted Voice Command button on the phone in order for it to do anything. Which, in my case, is not exactly possible (As the steam would probably degrade/destroy my phone). So, I was wondering whether or not it was possible to assign the Voice Command button to the right "M" button on the headphones. Unfortunately, after pairing the devices on the offchance that that button showed up under the "buttons" menu, I realized it wasn't going to be quite that easy. So... In summation... Is this possible at all, or is there some other means of accomplishing it?

Bumpity bump bump, as I could really use some help on this.

Did you want someone to read through the posts on assigning buttons for you and retype the answers here? I have some time next Thursday and can do that for you.

are you sure you are using your headset right , I have a sony ericsson hbh 970 stereo headset, and that has a button on it, that activates VC for me ! maybe you need to press and hold something.

Don't worry about it.

Does anyone know how to remap the button on HTC Headphones

Hi Guys,
Right here's the thing, ive got a T-Mobile MDA Vario III (HTC Kaiser). With all of the HTC devices ive had, they've come with headphones which have a call answer/end call button.
Now, when your not in a call and press the button it opens the Voice Speed Dial applet, basically the problem is ive installed Microsoft Voice Command and now the button wont open the Voce applet or MSVC, it just brings up the phone's dial pad?
My question is, is there a registry key somewhere that will allow me to set this button to activate MSVC or anything else i so wish?
Ive searched around and can't seem to find anything that will help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

MS Voice command with usb earset

I've MS Voice Command and use the included usb earset with my Touch Pro.
How can I use the button on the usb earset with Voice command ?
Now when I push the little button twice the Touch begins to dial the last number.
I want to activate Voice command so that I can control my media without taken my Touch Pro from my pocket.

Nobody ?
What's the normal use of the button on the USB earset anyway ?

Not being funny but you'd be much, much better off with a bluetooth stereo A2DP headset, which has controls for managing your music as well as activating voice commands, and a built-in microphone.
The supplied USB headphones are just ****e anyway.
I highly recommend these:

I'm currently trying out Fonix VoiceCentral, seems quite capable as well for voice commands. But I also needed to be able to start it by voice in the first place, so here's what I did:
Usually on any headset or carkit, wired or via Bluetooth, or even on the phone itself, holding down the talk/call/answer button will activate the Voice Dialing.
For the Touch Pro this means that the built-in Voice Dailling application will start, but you want the MS Voice application to be started. As I didn't know how to change the program started by the Long Press Call Key functionality I decided to simply record a voice tag for the VoiceCentral application (you would make one for MS Voice instead). Once VoiceCentral is loaded, it will accept my voice commands from there on in.
So in steps:
press and hold the talk key / button until you hear a beep(ing tone)
a: if a voice tag hadn't already been recorded for MS Voice, you can now record one. To do so:
tap the Settings soft-menu key on the bottom right,
select the Application tab,
select the MS Voice application from the list,
tap the record button and say the text for the voice tag
the voice tag will be played back to you for confirmation (if not press the play button to hear it)
press ok to close the Voice Dailling application and start again from step 1
b: if a voice tag had already been recorded for MS Voice, say it and check if MS Voice is started (the voice tag will be played back to you before carrying out the request)
I hope this helps.

Seems like a good solution but it's bloated.
Then I have to have two voice command software packages installed on my Touch Pro.
I don't want that.
I just want to press and hold the key on the wired earset so that MS Voice Command is activated.

I just want to use the included USB earset because you need it as an antenna for the FM radio.

In that case you have to find a solution to remap the long press call key to another application.
I actually find my solution takes a little bit longer, but works perfectly. And best of all it's something I can easily implement without any registry editing or installing other apps.

Sometimes the solutions are smiling you in the face but you just can't see them...
Go to Settings -> Personal tab -> Buttons -> Program Buttons tab. There you will find the entry responsible for starting the Voice Speed Dial application. Change it to MS Voice Command and try to use the long hold press of the USB headset Talk button.
Hope this helps!

That's the problem.
There's just one button available namely the 'Call' button.
So no USB headset Talk button can be selected.

Try changing the following value in HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand:
Name: Path
Data: \WINDOWS\sddialer.exe (this is the default by the way, should you want to restore it)
to the path and executable for MS Voice Command. Do NOT surround the path with " " if the path has a space in it (eg. \Program Files\MS\VoiceCommand) as that will not work.
Now it should work with your USB headset talk button as well, since you've modified the application associated with VoiceCommand itself, and not just the Call button assignment.
Let us know how this works for you.

The key 'Path' is not in my registry on my Touch Pro.
Should I add it myself ?
But still this has nothing todo with assigning the headset button to 'voicecmd.exe'
Or am I wrong ?

'Path' is not a key but a value under the path ending in VoiceCommand. Do you have the key HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand? If so, what are the values in it?
This has everything to do with the headset button, as it is how the OS defines what to do when the VoiceCommand command is issued, be it by the Call button on the phone itself, the talk button on a Bluetooth headset (which I have successfully tested this with), or the talk button on your USB headset.

I have the HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand key which only contains the following values:
- LaunchAPEnable
- VoiceCmdDuration
- VoiceCmdEnable

Try adding the Path value as a String, with the value as noted above.

You're right.
Now it works.

so now you have voice command in the usb headset? if so this should go on the tweaks list and or the wiki

Yes,
Adding this registry value enabled Voice Command with the usb headset.

Disable call button on bluetooth headset (wm6.1)

My elderly mother-in-law has a wm6.1 smartphone (TMo Dash) and recently got a bluetooth headset. As with most headsets, a single click of the "call button" on it answers or initiates a new call. The problem is she continues to accidentally hit the very sensitive call button and makes call to the most recent number in her call list. Is there any way to prevent a single tap of the call button from automatically dialing the last caller on the phone end (perhaps via a registry edit). I dont know if this is specific to the Dash wm6.1 ROM, or a feature with wm6.1 in general.
BTW, click and hold of the call button activates voice command. It would be great if a single click would activate voice command.
Any suggestions?

Cyberon Voice Command usually takes 1 click to open voice dial and a long click to dial the last number.
I wanted to get rid of voice dial and i managed to do that but i still can't get rid of that "accidental dialing" thing you're talking about.. so i call people and they get to talk to my thigh once or twice a day

One click for Voice command would be OK for her, because VC would just wait for a command then give up. Unfortunately, her phone has one click for last number redial, and long click to activate Voice Command. She is always accidentially clicking the bluetooth button whenever she is handling it, and for some reason I'm the one it calls. When I answer, she usually has just put the thing in her ear and did not realize she called.
I wonder what controls the BT functions, and how these two phone have it differently.

look for Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.
that'll grant you what you wish for

[REQ] Call Confirm on Bluetooth

it's been a while I really wanted a special app, but now it's time, two days ago i bought a new BT headset a Samsung bhs3000, the problem lies in the answer button press (read by mistake) redials the latest dialed number. with a call confirm app like Call Confirm so it stops the redialing, BUT I want it either just started when bt hedsetet is connected or/and between certain hours. Is anyone having any suggestions?
only thing I've found is just the reverse of what i want, it turns the call confirm off on bluetooth connect.
I would like to see in the app:
dialog box with something like "would you call?" buddy picture, Number , buttons: call and cancel.
maybe 2-3 simple themes say dark, light, and anything else? (not necessary)
opportunity to have it running regular, on/off at BT connect, between certain hours and on/off bt connect AND times.
do not know right away if I got everything so input is warmly welcomed.

I've been looking for something like this for a while as well. The best advice I can find is, buy a Bluetooth earpiece (headset in your case) where you don't accidentally press the button. I was directed to one with a slider that keeps the button inaccessible. But I don't want to buy a whole new earpiece, and I suspect you don't, either.
Now there is an app in the market, for free, and I forget the name (sorry) that changes what happens when you tap the Bluetooth device's main button. Default is voice command. You can set it to anything you like (or nothing). But I emailed the dev, and they have no control over the long-press of the Bluetooth's main button (seems to be universally redial).
Call confirmation would be a good feature overall. When you call (with Contapps, for example, it's easy to accidentally call if you forget long-pressing a contact calls them, you might think it would bring up a menu) you should be presented with the contact's picture, name, phone number, and maybe other details, with a "swipe to call" and a cancel button.
If something like that were especially elegant, it would even be worth laying down some coin for.

I think we are on the same track here, as for buying a new headset it's not a big deal but the thing is that the Samsung one supports apt-x for better sound quality as do my upcoming sgs3 and changeable ear prices. Long press is fine for voice dial well for me it is. But the single press redial is not
Was searching for that app you mentioned but came up with nothing im afraid :-(
I don't need call confirm all the time only when i have the bt hs connected which I have from 08:00 to 17:00 but to appeal to a broader audience the app could work with that too.

one way to handle this on a rooted system would be to remap the key in /usr/keylayout/avrcp.kl, you could even comment the line out so it doesn't respond to it at all.

Yeah been talking to a guy on a big swedish android forum, he told me the same thing as you but not much more like how and what I should edit.
So any ideas? Is it the same on all phones? Got a xperia play Samsung has F ed up the shipment of pebble blue sgs3 to Sweden.
My file well on the play anyway looks like this :
key 200 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
key 201 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
key 166 MEDIA_STOP WAKE
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
key 168 MEDIA_REWIND WAKE
key 208 MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD WAKE
