Voice Command sucks so badly..Options? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

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.

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MSVC 1.5 is intended for use with WM 5.0, it's very outdated and will not work; 1.6 was built for WM 6.x but works with WM5 as well.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

Anyone from the UK purchased MS Voice Command ?

Hi,
has anyone from the UK managed to purchase Voice Command and if so, how !
cheers
Russ.
I haven't but would also be very interested to see if anyone has, since M$ say it is available for US only- why is that, does anyone know?
Fin
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

Has anyone tried MS voice command? How was it?
The link to the trial at Handango is broken. I'd appreciate someone posting the trial if they have it.
And I AM after the trial. If you've got the full version please keep it to yourself.
Thanks.
EDIT: The link is working now. I'd still appreciate veiws though.
Does anyone here using Microsoft Voice Command ? Can somebody share a full version of it? or even post a link to where i can download crack for microsoft voice command ..i'll appreciate it a lot!
You can get a 5 day trial at handango.co.uk
It's awesome.
Full version anyone?
i already have the 5 day trial for the microsoft voice command and indeed awesome ,does anyone here have a fullversion of it ? or even a cracked one? so we can enjoy the full program with out any hassle
Yes, Handango have loads of them £24.99 each.
If the software is good and does what you want then go buy it.
This site is a valuable resource and distributing illeagle s/w is a sure way to spoil it.
I have been using MS voice command for one year now. It is a great software especially the phone support. You can dial any phone number by speaking the number or any name from your contact. The problem is that if you are outside it will pick up wrong names sometimes. Another thing is the accent. The software is designed for american accent somehow.
Other than that it is a great software and perfect when driving. Another advantage is if you use your xda for listening to mp3 music files. I have hundereds of songs on a 1 GB SD card. I will speak the name of the song and it plays in WM player. You can also speak the name of the artist or the album.
I hope that helps.
MS have released a UK version of this now, although I've been using the full US version for sometime now with no problems with the voice recognition.
However the Voice dialling of phone numbers is based on US dialling codes so it doesn't recognise numbers if they are not in US format, However i Just voice dial using contact names and it works fine.
Best thing is there is no voice training necessary like Fonix ect.. and it will also control nearly every other Application via voice as well

Problems with MS Voice Command

Has anyone expereince a degradation in the accuracy of MS Voice Command on their Magician. I was amazed at how accurate the latest MS VC Version was-nearly 100% accuracy, and then all of a sudden I could barely get it to respond to any command. I removed and replaced the program and it is better, but I get a lot of errors on the confimration.
I'm not new to this app. I have used this program since it came out.
The only thing I did was play around with some registry speed up hacks.
Looks like a Hard Rest may be coming up. I depend on MS VC.
I gave up MS VC and use Cyberon VoiceCommander for 2 reasons recently:
1. I have quite a lot of contacts and it's just too hard for MS VC to differieniate them. Cyberon's one can filter contacts that U want it to be recongized.
2. Maybe my English is not good enough, it always had a hard time to recongized some of my command. Cyberon's voice tag solve this problem.

Which is better between MSVC and Cyberon VC

I just want to find out from you guys which is better between Microsoft Voice Commander and Cyberon Voice Commander. I have only used MSVC so i cant speak for Cyberon, but I have looked at the interface for cyberon and it looks cheap. So obviously my vote is for MSVC right now. I am curious to try Cyberon but like i said don't know the perks of it.
I guess me and this other guy that voted are the only one's who care about this topic. I guess you can close this if you would like moderator.
Vote! Vote! Vote! I need opinions also please. I can't really tell myself.
Tried both, I like Cyberon Voice Dial
Since it's a voice-driven app, i don't look at it much - I don't care about the GUI. I tried Cyberon Voice commander, and I thought in general the voice recognition was a bit better, and it seemed I more intuitive with the way I issue commands. But that's my voice, my noise environment.
But I found I seldom strayed from my usual path, and that I could backup & copy (transfer) voice commands for Cyberon Voice Dialer. It has a relatively small footprint, and the recognition is the best when you record your own voice, and the commands can be briefer... cryptic, for that matter,
I got a free copy of all the Cyberon stuff. It's out there. Why not try it? I really think it's a matter of preference, which is why no one's answering your post.
I've tried both for me MSVC is my preference, but limited in what it does although once installed it's more or less ready to go.
Cyberon you have to teach and the end result is more tailored to your needs, as Janis said it is free if you look and it is worth trying.

I know this topic is a matter of a opinion and that is exactly what I want, other peoples opinion. I'm kinda wanting to go with a majority rules.

Cool. Thanks for the input and thank you for taking time to respond. What do you mean by you have to train Cyberon though. I installed Cyberon and it pretty much reacted like MSVC just a lil slower. I thought the training was only for the cyberon voice dial
The version I had didn't understand a word I said, and I consider my English to be reasonable

Tellme for wm6.5

hi,
just saw this software that will be available for wm6.5.
its a voice activating software (sent texts, make calls etc with voice commands)
www.tellme.com
i think its a sub company of microsoft making it.
it says its going to be available through wm marketplace for wm6.5 phones, but cant see why it wont run on other wm OS's.
anyone got a beta of the software? or any other info
Nice site.. Lets wait and see how nice the program would be..
How it is different from MS Voice Command ?

you can search the net for items and places with a voice command (eg. starbucks or ipod etc)
u can also write texts and send them using your voice.
i think it is the evolution if the ms voice command software (microsoft trying to interwine software together and changing the name so that it seems like something fresh and new).

Read the link it does all that and more.
Are MS ever going to release this then?
TellMe was (I believe) a separate company working on this snazzy voice control software, and I believe MS snatched them up to use as a replacement for MSVC going forward.
"Tellme" is certainly a snappier name than "Microsoft Voice Command." It actually looks like Tellme combines MSVC with the voice controls of the Bing app. I wonder how much overlap there will be.
Tell Me is part of the Samsung Intrepid WM 6.5 ROM. Would be great to be able to install that on my phone. Anyone up for the challenge?
hmmm would really like to install this... any1 with an interprid that would let someone here get the app. dont kno how its done but im sure the smart guys here do

Ditto.
Would love to get my hands on that cab.
TellMe
Tellme's primary business is in enterprise IVR systems and Voice enabled CRM and such. The TellMe Mobile apps including the WN6.5 client and the BB client as well at the 555-tell all agregate the voice samples collected during use to make the voice recognition part of their software more acurate and reduce the need for programming.
Seems pretty ingenious and gives Tellme a huge chance to be a great voice app unlike some apps that leave me screaming at my phone like some crazed person. While it again dials some completely random number from my phone book.
I hope that this exclusivity for the intrepid is short lived.

Dont I wish....so for just reading the site abunch goping for someone with access to the right phone.
on a seperate note all these exlusive deals tick me off. They should just post the app in marketplace and be done with it.
All we need is a ROM dump from the interpid, and we should be able to pull it out and create a cab. However, the phone isn't available yet so we will have to wait a bit longer.
Someone with a Samsung Intrepid needs to port it for us.
yes please
You can get it now, well according to their site, however Im in the uk and thus I dont think i will work for me!....
http://www.tellme.com/you/get
How frickin' insulting!!! Right now, on AT&T, T-Mobile & Verizon it's only available on Blackberry devices! And on Sprint, it's all Blackberry except for one WM device - the Intrepid!
WTF, Microsoft?!
Package here.It doesn't understand a touch screen, but it seems to work.
Hey guys, since I'm such a 1337 H4x0r I managed reverse engineer the installer from PPCGeeks to find out where the installer got the .cab from. Well, it paid off and I found the .cab straight from the site, and you can download it from: http://m.tellme.com/windows_mobile/TellmeSamsungIntrepid3515.cab. It still doesn't work on my Rhodium, but I figured I'd post this anyway, so you don't have to go to download from PPCGeeks or if you wanted a .cab file instead of the installer.
