Anyone figure out the registry keys to make the lady who repeats your commands louder through your BT? Thanks!

hear you are

may help to slow it down also
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices]
"DefaultTTSRate" = "3"
lower is slower and higher is faster

BT button doesn't activate Voice Dialing.

Hi! I'm new here and I got that lucky to change my WM5 on my Qtek9100 with TNT latest WM6 ROM. I've experienced same little problems as everybody else, but I got stuck with important one: I’m connecting my BT headset, it installs as HANDS FREE and works ok while speaking on the phone, but when i press button on it when phone is idle - it does nothing while I expect voice dialing. I've installed SDDIALER and it works, but still no reaction to BT button I've looked through different posts here and found how to change registry to work with sddialer - but I’ve found out that my registry already had right values. So what I’m asking - how to set BT headset to work with VOICE DIALING? Thanx!
Same problem
HI!
I Got the same prob, registry IS correct but bt button activates the normal wm dialer (cprog.exe) instead of the voice dialer. Did you resolve your isssue? I would like to hear sme hints on it.
Cheers!
Christos.
Following change in the registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\OEMAGW.dll" (string)

Voice Dialing with Fuze

Does anyone know if you can activate voice dialing over bluetooth? I know that there were several hacks that were necessary to get it to work over my 8525.
Thanks!
Yes you can. It's called Voice Commander. It should be on by default. You can say stuff like "call john smith" or "dial 123-4567" pretty cool.
Voice Command with Bluetooth Headset??
I have an old bluetooth headset, but it doesn't seem to work with Voice Command. Does anyone have one working?
Yes, i have used vc with 3 different headsets. One moto, one jawboneII, one plantronics, and one stereo sony brt50 with a2dp. All worked well when pressing the command button on the hs. I've noticed it doesn't work quite well using phone for the command or to answer when cal comes in. The audio drops or doesn't connect.
Hmm, I have an old Moto H505 from work and not only do I not seem to be able to initiate a voice command using the headset, if I do initiate one using the phone I do not hear the response in the headset.
Thanks for letting me know that it is possible....
I had some issues with the stock VC on the ATT ROM. With ROMeOS though it doesn't come with VC (or at least not that I could find) so I added the latest PPC VC (1.6.19214) and it seems to work just fine now (including announcing calls via BT).
I thought that VC in general did not work with bluetooths. This is a limitation of VC not the phone or the bluetooth. On my old mogul, you could get it to initiate the command but not hear your response or confirmation.
Works fine for me with a Jabra BT-135 headset -- giving commands, getting feedback, and answering phone calls all work as expected. The only thing that doesn't work is announcing the name of the caller for incoming calls; all I get is a ring for that. (I have the stock AT&T ROM.)
pre-record for voice dialing?!

That's OK, but what I really want is to record names for each PHONE# foreach contact, like "call Scott CELL" or "call Scott HOME" or "call Josh OFFICE" like I used to do with my HTC MDA w/ WinMo5. Can I do this? I've been searching the phone and forums and this site's postings too... any help?
If you can load the program - it is in the WM 6.0 ROM - it will work with bluetooth devices.

There's no need to do that with voice command. As long as your contacts are stored properly (i.e., a contact's mobile number is stored as mobile, their home number is stored as home, etc) you can just say something like "Call name on mobile", or "Call name at home".
From MS on how to use it:

Thanks Syntrix, Joecd04475 for the help, appreciate it. Not real excited about saying, "Call.. Doe, John... at... Mobile" when I'm used to saying, "John cell", but looks like that's what we got w/ WM6

Well, you can get rid of the "...", at least -- Voice Command, in my experience, seems to be pretty good at deciphering connected speech. And there's no need to invert the names, either (I don't even know if it would work that way). In any event, it doesn't seem a great hardship to say, in a normal speaking cadence, "Call John Doe at work."
You might want to have a look at the German ROM version as there is Cyberon Voice Command included which exactly does what you want. You can record voice commands for each phone number, program, ... on your own. I still think MS Voice Command is more preferable as you do not have the hassle to record voice commands for every contact and so on on your own.

Call John Cell isn't any different then Call John on mobile.
MSVC also allows you to control other aspects of your phone in addition to calling contacts.
Play Metallica
Play Iron Maiden
What time is it?
What is my signal strength?
Ringer vibrate
Ringer off
Ringer high
and a ton more things you can speak also.

Well, on my MS VC the ringer stuff does not work properly with the TP. And controlling the audio player is kinda funny as you have to pronounce the artist's, album's and song's names in a German way So Iron Maiden would have to be pronounced "Eeron My den"

Yes, this is a perfect example of the corporate 'give you *more* of what you don't want' that is difficult to avoid when you're innovative over customer-driven.
Voice Command looks like a very nice feature that will do a lot for me, especially the music options you listed (though I assume that requires I 'play nice' by using playlists, import music through Media Player). It's a large feature that I may become an expert in someday, but a busy week into using my new phone, I just want to dial my most used numbers while driving, and Voice Command simply does not recognise my commands 90% of the time. I have a pretty plain-jane American accent, but VC simply doesn't know what I'm saying.

That's strange; I have been really impressed,with 100% accuracy over the dozen or so times I've used it to call people and dial numbers since I got my Fuze. What is your setup? Are you using it over a Bluetooth headset or via the built-in microphone? (Not sure if that makes a difference, as I've not had any problems either way, but it might be something to try with your phone.) If using the built-in microphone, how far away are you holding the phone when you speak? Is Automatic Gain Control off? (The help file, I think it was, recommended not using AGC.)
Sweet. I had AGC on. I'll switch it off and try out on the drive home.
I'm using a wired headset w/ inline mic, usually great sound quality on the other end (others listening to me) so I figured it should've worked fine. Come to think of it, back when I still used a HTC Wizard, I had AGC off too. Shoot, just realized, maybe the inline mic on my earbud is disabled, maybe I need to hold the phone up to my mouth?
Got so angry trying to get it to recognize me on the drive home, almost threw it out the window. "No, you stupd #%$& I said 'CALL! HOME! AT! HOME!' "
Also, I'm frustrated that my old Wizard 3.5mm headset jack (which played sounds in both ears: double mono for phone calls)---when I use it w/ my Fuze (with USB converter brick) it only plays phone calls AND MUSIC in 1 ear: very vexxing.

Need some way to play audio file via a phone call

Im testing some VoIP software for cell phones for my work. I'm currently using a Nokia e71x and a At&T Kaiser/tilt/TyTn II running a nice little ROM I got here (can't remember the name) built on WM 6.5. Any way, in a desperate attempt to measure call quality I would like to call my voice mail and leave a message, then analyze it for pops, clicks that kind of thing. So in order to have a standardized file that I use each time I would like to be able to play an audio file on the phone, preferably the kaiser, and have it stream through the call. That way when I download my voicemail, in .wavs, I can use a program I got to see how the 2 files vary. I would hate to have to hold a voice recorder up to the phone each time.
Or you know of some other way of measuring call quality that would be good too.
thanks in advance,

[Q] Mango Set up speed dial..... with voice command

Has anyone tried using voice command to set up speed dial???
I think it totally fails.......
Hold windows key ==> say "Save speed dial"
then say "1"
And THEN it wants you to say the phone number you want to save.... which wouldnt be too bad if ...the PHONE CAN ACTUALLY VOICE RECOGNIZE YOUR NUMBERS!!!!!
Believe me, i tried several ways to input the phone number but failed miserably. I even used google translate to voice the numbers and that didnt work also.
Anyone got any tips? This feature should be elaborated more!!!
You can check the website for more info about the voice recognition

[Q] Groove IP & GV delay 10 Sec

Hi everyone,
I am using Groove IP with GV. There is delay while talking on Groove. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
I am also using VOIP over VPN with SIP from callcentric which is working fine. But this one is not.

I contacted the GrooveIP developers (SNRB Labs). After trying some options, we finally found out that increasing the "Speaker Buffer" in the troubleshooting section from small to large drastically improved the problem of increasing delay during a call.
Also, in the process, I found out that there is a decent way to instigate the delay problem. Start a call to the echo test number 1 909 390 0003, make a short test noise ("test" works), time the delay, open YouTube and play a high quality video for a minute or so (or run a speed test), make the same short test noise and time the delay. With the speaker buffer set to small, for me the delay increased from about 1 second to 2.5 seconds. With the speaker buffer set to large, for the me the delay barely increased at all (maybe 1 to 1.2 seconds, but that's not an exact measurement).

This seems like a bug in the program that is just being covered up by using a larger buffer. I noticed this in Groove IP (and Talkatone) about a year back, and neither of the developers were responsive about it. Sipdroid doesn't seem to have this issue though interestingly.
