So I'm wanting to ditch my iPhone 5 but I got a GS4 and can't get it to work the way my iPhone does in my car.
With the iPhone in my car I can press and hold the Home button and the radio stops and I can voice text, voice dial ect. Same thing works for Google Search.
So I got the GS4 and for some reason bringing up SVoice does not mute the radio, same for Google Search. I've got them both setup correctly. The iPhone might have a different version of BT, but this is kinda a deal breaker for me so if anyone has this working in their car let me know.
Thanks

Is there any possibility to get MSVC working on Diamond 2? I used it on my old O2 XDA Orbit 2 with Bepes Rom. Now I'm interested in to use it on my Diamond 2, or should I wait for official Update on Windows Mobile 6.5 with "TellMe" ?
I managed it, but it does not work and caused a problems (i.e. once connected to BT, it always stays connected).
Working fine on mine through bluetooth, I'm using V1.6.19214 found in a link here on XDA. I don't bother with the call button activation, which can be problematic to get working, as I only need it for voice dialling through my BT headset.
hmm, okay... thanks for the reply...
i just wanted to use it for incoming calls, so that the callers name is outspoken and for simplyfying writing sms...
I think i will wait for "tellme" in wm6.5
THX guys

Hi,
I've voice command 1.6 in french, and it works nearly amazing fine. I'm not using bluetooth with it, and the only problem is that, sometimes, when I ask 'CALL ... AT HOME', it asks for confirmation, and it does not understand the 'YES' answer. This problem did not happen with version 1.5.
I also disables incoming caller names, because it has a conflict with the ring, and both are not audible (ring distorded, and voice not understandable).
But it tells you the meetings, mails, battery status, next appointements, etc...
Really amazing on a small device. I don't use contacts mamangers anymore for calling : just using voice command. I even work in the car, with the ambiant sound engine, and radio on (not too loud!). Worth the price for 19.95$ (as far as I remember).
regards,
Olivier.
PS: it fails on install because it has not enough hardware button. After install, go in the settings -> buttons and assing it to the only button. Pressing Green key for two seconds, and wait the the beep and microphone icon on notify bar. If you press the button too long, it makes a loud beep to tell you it is cancelled. You can also magic button, or remap the soft keys.
I used to use Cyberon Voice Commander to make a call. I have no idea how come HTC took off this software on Diamond 2...
I have sent the email to Cyberon to ask if there is any possible way to get their Voice Commander. They responded that the software now has retail version for about 10 languages, and they offer the full function 30-day trial on their website. I am using it so far. It works well on my Diamond 2.
Vito
Vito technology has 2 voice command apps. VoiceDialer to simlpy call some1 and Voice2Go to launch apps and cpntacts and so on.
How come there is just one button to assign something to? I would like to use cyberon voice commander via the headphone mic-button.. is there a way to do this, or is it a limitation in td2?

Try the latest version of Cyberon Voice Commander v2.5.2r from Cyberon website http://www.cyberon.com.tw/order_Product_con.php?NO100=15 as Lacerta mentioned .
This version provides "hold Volume-up" or "hold Volume-down" to launch CVC in Setting, as well as you can start it by pressing the button on BT earset.
Per xhaavardx, I downloaded the app from Vito Technology. Works great in the office. Totally useless driving down the road. And I do mean totally. Will not successfully dial a single voice tag I recorded in the parking lot unless I pull off the road and turn off all accessories, even the heater fan.
There was a post on this site somewhere recently stating that someone had converted the app from the old HTC Wizard into a .cab that could be installed on the diamond 2. I can't seem to search that thread out, though. Can any of you guys find it? That thing worked absolutely great!

This one was ripped from Samsung but haven't tested it.
Tried a text but no luck so far. Will keep trying.
Also, MSVC is working great.

Tried the Tellme file on my Pure. It works decently while I'm on my wireless network but continually tells me it can't find the network even when it's at full strength on the 3G network. Maybe it's because it was configured to search for Sprint's network, I don't know. I've seen other say they got it to work for them.
Voice Dial for Touch Diamond 2
Hello, All:
Concerning voice dial for the Touch Diamond 2, I found Cyberon Voice Dial on this bulletin board in a thread somewhere, but, regretfully, I can't find it back. IF you can find it, it is DA BOMB!! Yeah, you have to record the voice tags, but it works great in noisy environments and almost never makes a mistake. I don't use BT with the new phone, but Cyberon worked great with the BT on my old Wizard. Whatever you do, don't pay for Vito Voice Dial. It is truly unserviceable in any situation with even moderate noise.
Good Luck! Hope this helps.

The program won't even start for me on WiFi.
I believe the network issue is specific to AT&T from what I have read. No fix for this yet.
Pity....

Any truth to this claim that the Sensation doesn't support bluetooth voice dialing? Close to a deal breaker for me...
Thought all phones can with google voice search installed?
:|
let's face it.. voice commands really do suck on Android to be honest. always takes several seconds to go to the cloud and back, and even then it's not quite right. Vlingo is a LOT better than Google's Voice Search when it comes to contact names.. but still so darn slow.
is there no app to just do voice recognition locally on the device, so that it's quick?
Android has its own native Bluetooth Voice Dialing app.... I connect my phone to my car stereo, press the button on my stereo, and it pulls up the Bluetooth Voice Dialer asking me to say a name..... at least thats how it was on my G2....
Hopefully Sensation has no problems in this area.... can someone who has a Sensation confirm or deny, please?
I can confirm that bluetooth voice dialing IS NOT functional for some reason. HTC needs to get this fixed ASAP.
This is a big deal... how have more people not complained about this?
I upgraded to One S from MyTouch 4G, and noticed the following issues with voice dialing:
1. I used to use the dedicated button on MT4G. On 1S, when I try to use the google search "microphone" button, it has terrible voice recognition. Vlingo works much better than stock functionality.
2. As mentioned in PC mag review, voice dialing via blue tooth is missing. The only workaround is through a third party app. As someone suggested, I installed Vlingo, and using its "in car" method, it seems to work fine.
Are there any other build in google apps/tools that may improve voice recognition/voice dialing?
What other apps do people use for voice control/voice dial?
Thanks.
Bluetooth voice dialing is not working for me either. Pressing the connect button on my BT device does not launch the BT voice recognition like it should.
This was also an issue on the Nexus One for months when it was initially released - I don't know how HTC did not recognize this problem during testing.
I wish I had an answer for you, but I just wanted to say thanks for the Vlingo suggestion, that's what I'm using for now.
You welcome. While I like One S overall, the voice control/recognition options are a step back compared to MyTouch 4G.
I have found the following to get Bluetooth voice dialing woking:
Install Cyberon Voice Commander from the market. (Yes it is a paid app $5.99)
They do have a 48 hour refund policy.
The only function lacking is dialing a number digit by digit "Call 321-555-3232"
will not work, only contacts, but also can open apps, and a few other features.
Follow the instructions closely on installing and un-pairing/re-pairing your headset.
Press the voice dial button on your headset. If it does not work, and I had to do this, install Vlingo from the market(free).
Press the voice dial button on your headset, you should now get a menu on your screen as to which app to use for voice dialing, select Cyberon Voice Commander.
It should work from that point on.
EDIT: I am using a jawbone Era. You may need to login to Jawbone's Mytalk and reset the button for the voice dialing function. I have been running it now for 3 days without any problems.
For those with Jawbone ERAs don't bother . . just tried this and will now have to work with the developer to get my refund since I wen't past the 15-minute mark just trying out the various dial-apps on the Jawbone to test compatibility.
No matter what dial-apps on the Jawbone ERA itself you're using or what apps you have installed on the One X end the phone completely ignores headset button presses other than picking up incoming calls or hanging up a call. For the ERA anyway I suspect that Jawbone's own dial-apps feature is what keeps the headset from being fully compatible with this phone/ICS.
i also have the jawbone era and found the same problem. the cyberon voice commander developer was very prompt in refunding. i may try later with another headset, but am not really hopeful that voice dialing using a bluetooth headset will work seamlessly. of course my opinion is that one should be able to use it without having to touch the phone at all.
If you guys want, I have this voicetogo app from my now sold galaxy note. It works but I haven't tried with Bluetooth yet.

I just checked and it even works for creating events and checking schedule!

Cool app.
Update: Uninstalled other voice assistant apps like Cyberon and rebooted the One X. The voice command apk posted above now works for me. Not sure but when I initially installed it yesterday I didn't reboot the phone, probably should have. I don't think the application is fully compatible with the phone, it crashes sometimes but overall it does work and I'm satisfied for now until something better comes along.

VoiceToGo fixed everything. Thx
I just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile...using a Nexus 4. I got really accustomed to using Google Voice on my Sprint phone. I originally downloaded it for the visual voicemail feature, but what I ended up using it for the most was the text messaging ability. I loved texting from the Google Voice web app, the Chrome extension or the Google Voice app on my WiFi-only tablet.
When I got Google Voice all set up w/ my new T-Mobile phone, though, I realized that SMS functionality wasn't available, at least using my own phone number (as opposed to a new Google Voice number). I downloaded MightyText, which seemed like a good replacement until I realized that it only works if my phone is turned on. That's kind of a bummer, because I really want to be able to text when my phone is off, dead, etc.
Does anyone know of a good Google Voice replacement for T-Mobile, or a way to get SMS working w/ Google Voice on T-Mobile. My phone is rooted and running Cyanogen Mod 10.1. Thanks in advance!
Bump. Really missing Google Voice...
Not sure there is a an app like this. Google voice has always been hit or miss with different carriers, so you're probably out of luck. Hopefully someone might be able to help you out though.
