voice command - speech recognition - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

where can I find a list of voice commands that WP7 recognizes? I used to have MS Voice Command on WM 6.5 and really enjoyed it. I find speech recognition on WP7 limited and not well documented.

I saw that, but is that it? We can't check time? Can't check appointment? Can't check missed calls? What happened to MS Voice Command?

It's because they went with the hype that everything VC revolves around the driver. So, things like full control of media playback were skipped (at least for this release -7.5). I loathe the idea of removing my phone just to change tracks while running or working out.

Voice Tag - Where it is?

I tried a number of WM6 versions for wizard. And I found no Voice Tag option or the replacement.
You no what I mean - ability to add voice commands to start some applications or to start some contact phone dialing?. That's something essential for me.
Any suggestions? Am I missing something? Thanks for the replies.

You can push the voice button (top right side) and talk to the phone... say "help"... wait.

What does this do that you cannot do with the new google voice program?

When you put it in "InCar" mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake it up and use voice commands.
FYI, this works on the VZW with the Incredible with no problem..

Also, it works! The new Google program is about 1/10 in getting what I say right.
Vlingo is (so far) about 5/5. I like that if it doesn't find what you're saying locally, it does a (very fast) internet search.
any word on making it work for other android devices? ie the g-1

Works great on the dinc. I appreciate the share!
thank you so much for sharing this app with the community. I have been fooling around with it for half an hour or so and it does some pretty awesome things. LOVE the in-car feature, completely hands-free and works perfectly, even reads and writes text messages for me. "hey vlingo"
Edit: Forgot to add, very accurate, even with names
Wow, the incar mode is really REALLY good. Anybody know how to have it differentiate between a contacts home and cell when sending a text message?
Say call blah blah mobile. That should work.

Google's voice search sucked at recognizing what I was saying for the first week or so, but then it got a lot better. I'm wondering if it learns your voice or something. Vlingo, on the other hand, worked well on day one. However, while it does a good job of recognizing what I am saying, it doesn't always give me the results I wanted. For instance, movie times never come up even though that's one of the examples the app shows, and it displays my exact phrase correctly (movie times near #####). It just says "No answer found". And I've also had trouble getting it to dial the right phone number for a contact. It's like it ignores when I say "mobile."
I'm having the same problem. It ignores when I say "mobile" after the contacts name. My g/f is getting irritated with the text to landline messages that repeat "test" lol
Is it necessary to install the standard Vlingo app before installing the incar pack?
I´ve been trying to download the installer but i still cant find it, it´s not in the market either.
It would be much if I ask to share the installer?

? It's in the second post of this thread.
anyway to successfully have this running in the background with the in-car? Currently it seems that the program has to be on main screen for me to say "Hey Vlingo" and it wakes...
Plus..too bad I cant say Jarvis to have it wake up
Instead of 'mobile' try saying 'cell'.

Right now the best way is to make two contacts for the person and label one cell and one home after the name. Best workaround at the moment.

Yeah, I went ahead and did that the other day, but thanks! Hopefully that will get sorted.
It would be nice if you could ask it to use your GV # by default as well.
i wonder if there is any way to train a contact that it gets wrong every time. Wifes name is tricky and unless i use her last name first it misses it every time.

[huawey u8150] [zip update] voice commands offline

I managed a fully working voice commands for my huawei ideos. Thanks goes to 89luca89 from androidiani.com his version of the zip doesn't work on every device due to the lack of gscript.
so here's my version, I think it should work an any froyo device, just flash it and try it.
http://senotones.blogspot.com/2011/02/voice-commands-offline-on-froyo.html
If I flash and I want to revert for whatever reason, do I need to revert to a backup image, reflash my rom or is there some other way to uninstall?
you should be able to remove it by deleting the VsuiteApp.apk and GScript.apk in /system/app well I'm not sure because I use it often and I don't need to remove it.
I can try later
Thanks, just want to gather up the basics before I do an article (here) on this as this sounds pretty good.
What would make it golden (other than not needing root etc) to me at least is if you could somehow map the thing to be triggered by the wired headset buttons of most/all phones/nexuses and/or bluetooth.
Guess I should test it out before I start making suggestions. Thanks man. I tossed it on my server for you, let me know if you want me to take it down or if you've got another version: mirror.batteryboss.org/signed-Voice.zip
That would be FANTASTIC !!! What about a short video on youtube to demo what you achieved ?
I can try to make an apk with bt trigger next week. this zip is a leak that 89luca89 get from motorola devices.
can you explain what this app does ? I am looking for a old fashion voice dialer (which records a voice tag for each contact and then dials that number).
I am sick of crappy google voice recognition which always gets it wrong.
bump.........
this allow you to use voice commands to recall some function.
for example, once you run it, it waits your input and if you say: "calls john" it try to call john if john has only one number, if john has mobile and home, voice commands ask you wich number you want to call.
You can say so "calls John mobile" or "call 03236548"
or you can invoice some app "run gmail" and it opens gmail
the voice recognition is pretty good, you can also teach voice command to recognize your own voice
gave you some press.. mobilitydigest.com/offline-voice-commanding-for-android
thanks man

Please post alternative link, as some of the area don't support.
thanks very much..but not work for me..
i flash it using ultrakiller recovery but fails flashing process due to gscript.apk problem..
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TPVHE78W
@zicoxx can you tell exactly what's the error log?
nitro-ale, does this app works (recognise the command) even using a language other than English ?
I'm using it in italian
any way to get it to work like old cell phone voice dialing ? i.e. you save a voice name for a phone number and then it dials that number when you speak it in bluetooth.
I really hate android's voice recognition, that never gets to recognize my accented voice. not to mention that it requires data.
I really think it's a good app, it recognizes 80% of my portuguese language. But in order to recognise 100% we must enter "adaptation" menu and repeat sereral words and phrases. Here, i cannot pass the "say 237354483" (number not the same...lol). App says to repeat the numbers and then it says that time expired....sadly...anything that you could do?? Say, record same things in the computer and then export into the folder?
Seems strange I Will take a look sorry I have no time at all in these days

Errors with Froyo

I have installed the leaked Froyo release, and reinstalled all apps and settings using instuctions found on this forum. That all went very smoothly, so, thanks to the people here. I have to report one error in the system that has been reported in other forums many times. The new froyo voice actions from voice search do not work properly or at all in some cases. The new voice search understands my voice perfectly, but then fails to perform the voice activated commands ("voice actions") as google intended. If i say "Call John Smith", voice search performs a google search for the phrase "call john smith", rather than calling John Smith (John Smith would be a google contact). I spent quite some time looking for a solution but found none that work. Disabling contact sync, deleting the contact cache and resyncing from gmail does not work. I doublt I will be the only one who filnds this problem. If anyone is aware of a fix for this, please post a link.
Thanks

It's not a bug or a problem as a lot of people think of it. Voice search and Voice commands have been split in the Mesmerize build. This is not like a regular Google Vanilla build. Both work, and work very well, just not as most people are used to. I've posted a couple of replies to this same type of "problem" before, but you have explained yourself a lot better than most people. I assume that you had experience with other Android phones with both of these features built in to one application. Personally, this is my first and only Android so it's all that I am used to.
I hope this helps explain things and help you with the issue. It's helped other people in the past.

Does that mean there's a separate application for Voice Actions?
phedelt82,
I am alittle confused as to what you are saying, Are you referring to the Nuance voice commands as separate app. I can get that to work, but it is sluggish and less accurate than the google search version. There is a google video demonstrating voice actions from inside of voice search. I think this is supposed to be part of the stock rom, no need to download a separate app. That said there is an upgrade on the market for google search that becomes available once on 2.2. With or without this, the prolem still exists.
My understanding is that in Froyo, the google search app shound first interperate the words that are being spoken. Then based on what phrase it desides has been said either performs a google search on the phrase, or if the phrase contained the right opening keyword, such as "call" or "email" or "map" or "directions", it issues a 'voice action' command to the associated app. Eclair did this with some apps such as calling reasonably well right from the stock google voice search. In Froyo, the abilty of voice search to understand what is being said I would say is improved. However, it drops the ball when it comes to passing the intended command to the app. Oddly, It will call any resturant or bussiness not in my contacts with total reliability. Something is wrong possibly when the voice search recognises the keyword "call", executes the voice action assoicated with "call" (the dailer) and then finally gets confused when it somehow fails to find the contact requested, even though it is in the google contacts.
I was wondering if I am the only one with the problem of the market, or appbrain or any other wifi app FCing randomly? Also if enabling debugging and system lagfix in CWM recovery could b my problem? Thnx in advance and fo all the excellent work the devs have done on these ROMs and Kernels.
Sent from my Mesmerize using XDA,s awesome app
I had a modem crash error xD. Factory reset fixed it. Not a big deal at all. >.>
I realize the this is a Meserize forum but I am having the exact same problem with my Verizon Fascinate that I've update the to a leaked Froyo. Other voice commands seem to work fine and "Call <business name>" works great! But if I try "Call John Smith work1" then it does a google web search for that instead of dialing that phone book entry! It's very frustrating...
I'd be willing to bet that it's the same problem and will have the same solution (since the phones are so related). So I hoope someone has fix for this.

This appears to be a common issue and so far I haven't found anyone with an answer other than to use a different app.
I have still been unable to figure this out. I have found that the people I know with HTC's and froyo or DroidX and some others do not have this problem. Did Samsung somehow create this bug putting it into touchwiz, or is this possible a defect due to the non official release?

phidelt82, can you explain what you mean by the Voice Search and Voice Actions being split? If they are split, does that mean they can be accessed separately?

What can S Voice do?

I just installed a ROM with S Voice and Im totally digging it. I did a google search and I see that there is some information, but very limited. Anyone know what all S Voice can do?

It's basically Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri. Though I don't think it is as advanced, but not really sure. I only messed around with it briefly on SkyICS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_Voice
Little comparison between the 2 - http://phandroid.com/2012/06/13/face-off-samsung-galaxy-s3s-s-voice-vs-iphone-4ss-siri-video/
Played around with it for a few minutes.
-Made a call
-Sent a text
-Set an alarm
All 3 without a single issue, voice recognition was great and I was mumbling quietly for the majority of commands including the actual text.
You can also use "Navigate to x" and "What is the weather".
If anyone find a comprehensive list of commands could you please post a link?
Thank you

i have used command's like "How is weather today?" "Where can I get pizza or gas?" "How does my day look?" and I got right answers.
The only issue I had was with Voice command integration. I have a Blueant Q2 and "Phone Command" should automatically invoke S-Voice. 8 out of 10 times it did not work and that's probably because it has not been properly integrated in S2. I am sure it works well in S3.
