In Your opinion... - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Which apps are a ''must have'' for your new touch diamond 2 and please give a short reason as to why on each of them.
(had to re-write this thread because apparently the way i worded my last one was wrong)
Never knew asking opinions aren't ''permitted'' on an internet forum....

An absolute essential for me is Microsoft voice command, invaluable for when you need to make a call while driving.

If you need to make a call whilst driving... stop

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

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.

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.

Why no answering machine for wm ???

Hi,
I am wondering why there ain't any working answering machine's for wm yet ? iSecretary was one which I guess is not working in wm6.5. Does anyone else know more about it ? I understand it might be duplicate thread, but since there's no latest posts on any of them I opened up new one hopping to catch eyes of u ppl....
Actually, there is an answering machine. Its awesome too. I got it free from my carrier. If I don't answer my phone after like 4 rings, it picks up and takes a message for me. Then, after it beeps and lets me know theres a message, I push a few buttons and a can listen to them. Then I can delete them, and start all over!
I can't seem to remember what its called though. Hmm....
Maybe someone else can help me with figuring out the name of this?
Wow, never thought about this, this would be really nice. It would be a good way to get voice mails recorded since it would be locally stored and not server stored like voice mail. I'd really like to know if their is one in circulation.
Edit: Apparently it's impossible due to hardware limitations of HTC phones, and seems Gigabyte's phone is the only one that can do it. More information here.
guess the reason for lack of more options is that most operators today offer answering machine at the operator end so it works even if the phone is off
like I mentioned already iSecretary worked fine until wm6.5 even in HTC. I used it in my HTC Fuze with wm 6.1. But it doesn't work in wm6.5. I don't know why. My operator doesn't give such voice message service for free. I am searching for a software like iSecretary that works with wm6.5.
seems nobody is interested in my post ???
Use google voice then, it's free and works when your phone is off. Since your provider doesn't give you voicemail, you should be able to use GV as your voicemail provider - heck, Sprint gives me voicemail for free, but I still have GV setup as my primary voicemail. For free, Sprint has a deal with Google.
you could try YouMail.com, i have it and its free for the basic service which is voicemail. you can customize the voicemail greeting also, its great, i get a laugh everytime....
both YouMail.com and Google Voice doesn't support my country yet. Is there any software that works like answering machine ?

Ah... yea I guess I take for granted the fact that all these new services seem to always get piloted in the US of A. Sorry... I don't know of anything else :S
Doesn't anybody give interest to make an answering machine like iSecretary ?
I too would like an answer-phone software & I'm surprised HTC never made the most of this issue & resolved the hardware problems & bundled an answer-phone software of it's own.
G-Smart done it back in WM5 times & it was a good tool & marketing niche.

Offline voice recognition

Is there an application that is similar to Google's voice actions application, but offline, for when I don't have service?

did you find the application? i know there is one, but i cant find it now. been searching for almost an hour! if you find it pls pm me
Voice command was the selling point to me and I was really shocked to know it required internet connection to work..Do I really need internet to say “”hey Galaxy..call wife mobile” ???? This is ridicules GOOGLE.
Such a nice device and very $$$$$ and they screw up like that

Hello girls and boys,
Like you, I was yesterday looking for this frantically as I have just got an Android device as my work mobile and have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro2) as my personal mobile which runs Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and can do quite a bit without needing to touch the handset (illegal whilst driving in the UK). I have to say; I was finding it difficult to believe that with all the awesome power of a Desire S when compared to the TP2, why is it I can't find an offline voice command application? Google's Actions are great yes, but does it REALLY need server side processing for these commands? I then came across a forum where someone suggested Vlingo and no-one really acknowledged the post. What a great app! Totally free, works with bluetooth headsets and actually does speech to text as well WITHOUT needing to be online.
I suggest you guys take a look as it seems to be a great piece of software that's pretty well written. http://www.vlingo.com
