By means of voice commands of VoiceButton it is possible to execute voice search of contacts offline, to call, dial number, to look for places on a map, to lay out routes, to open programs. The voice set of number through typeface bluetooth will be very useful driving the machine.
The application is able to sound incoming calls and automatically to turn on the speakerphone. Activation of the program by means of Bluetooth and wire headset is supported. In systems with the Android 4.1. above operation offline is supported.
The application can work in two modes:
Normal - the mode in which the program won't talk to you. In case of determination of contact with high accuracy the automatic set of number through time, given in settings, can be made. This mode can be used in the absence of typeface;
Driving - the mode in which the program will synthesize voice messages. This mode is useful when using typeface or when your hands are occupied.
The modes can switch automatically in case of connection and switch-off of headset. In each mode the personal settings set by you can be used.
It is possible to launch the program with the help bluetooth or wire headset.
Usually for start with Bluetooth of typeface it is necessary to click and hold the call key. For specification study the instruction on specific model. In certain cases start of the program from typeface doesn't work. The reason can be both in headset, and in phone.
For start from wire headset press and retain the typeface button. That start in case of lock worked activate point in settings.
For all commands it is possible to use aliases (words for automatic changeover).
The program uses the voice input and a speech synthesizer which is built in system.
For search of places and navigation by voice the program supports Google Maps.
Reserve saving and restoration of settings, the list of aliases is provided.
Detailed description of operation of some functions
Operation with contacts
For search of contact it is necessary to launch recognition of the program and after a sound signal to say the text for search.
Search of contact works by name, to number or its part, type, the name of the organization
Example: Bruce Simpson, Mark 911, Mother home, Andrew work.
For exact identification of contact it is possible to use an alias.
This function is available online also offline.
Operation with programs
For start of the program it is necessary to say the command "open application" + "a program name".
For example: open application gallery.
If to use an alias, it is possible to launch programs using simpler words. For example instead of "Open application gallery" it is possible to tell "show pictures" if of course you create such alias. Aliases can be used for opening of programs with difficult names. This function is available online also offline.
Operation with Google maps
For search of the next place it is necessary to say the “map” command + "name of a place or an address". If you set Google maps and the place is found, the program with a route spacer sentence will be launched. This function is available only online.
Current time
To learn the current time just tell the time command and the program will tell you it.
This function is available online also offline.
Call back
To call back according to the last number say a command "call back".
Important advantage of the program: a voice set of number without the Internet.
The free version supports only 5 alias
Supported bluetooth headset Jabra, Plantronics, Sony, Samsung and others with prof. HSF

Finnish Aali Alikoski, Academic Developer Evangelist of Microsoft Finland, has just released a highly useful application, SMS Notifier, along with its source code.
The application offers some really nice and, up to now, to my knowledge, on the Pocket PC Phone Edition platform, unprecedenced functionality: it waits for unanswered incoming calls and, depending on the configuration settings, it either sends an SMS message to the caller (with configurable contents), possibly containing also the end time of current appointment (this is also configurable) or adds an item to the system-level Windows Mobile calendar (containing the caller info).
The latter functionality is nothing new – you can check the caller's identity and the call date/time in any low-end mobile phone. The former – that is, the SMS feedback –, however, is really long-awaited!
Downloading and Installation
You can download the application here. Transfer the CAB file to your PDA and execute it there.
If, after installing and upon starting SMS Notifier, you're presented this error message, make sure you download and install .NET CF 2.0 from Microsoft. Make sure you install it in the main memory. Also note that, as the application heavily relies on the new, connectivity/database-related libraries of .NET CF2, it's not very easy to port it to run under the earlier Compact Framework library. (For CAB lovers, you will only need c:\Program Files\ Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\ v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab ; you can also download it from here (to avoid having to download the 24 Mbyte-long MSI installer).
Configuration
On the main set-up screen, there're some checkboxes in AND relationship. The first one, Send SMS to unanswered callers, instructs the application to send an SMS to everybody that tries to call you but his or her calls remain unanswered. Using (not disabling) the second two checkboxes, however, you may make the application not send a SMS to anyone that calls you, just to the ones that call you during an active/busy appointment.
The checkbox/text input area at the bottom makes it possible to report the end of the current appointment so that he or she can know when you are reachable again.
The Calendar tab contains only one checbox, which instructs the application to enter all the incoming calls into Calendar.
Note that the configuration settings are not correctly saved/restored, as the author also points out.
Usage
To use the application, just start and configure it to your liking. Do not click the Quit button – then, it won't send your callers any SMS. Just let it run. You can, of course, suspend the PDA while you do so and also minimize the application. This also means you can safely start it from \Windows\Startup (just like the other highly recommended application, PMRecorder – please see this article on it if interested) – if it's running in the background, it'll safely catch all unanswered calls.
Other stuff
I also recommend the author's blog here. Don't be taken aback of some of the material's being in Finnish: there's nothing really interesting in them for non-Finns (the Finnish blog posts are only about local, Finnish meetings, conferences). Unfortunately, some of the other Finnish .NET bloggers (see the links in the lower left of the page) post exclusively in Finnish, even highly technical stuff that would be interesting for non-Finnish speakers too. (Feel free to ask me in my blog for a public translation for some of them if really interested.)
My Kaiser comes with Cyberon Voice commander (CVC), however, the default CVC behavior is to include ALL contacts for voice recognition! I have over 1200+ contacts in my contacts and most of them are business associates that I will NEVER want to call them with my phone with CVC. However they are needed to stay in my Contacts for email and provide phone number lookup when I use company phone to make calls.
I do have people I definitely want to use CVC to make call and most of them are under either 'family' or 'friends' categories. (maybe only around 100 people)
The voice recognition success rate also goes down a lot due to so many people has similar names. This makes CVC almost unusable for me if I don't disable all those contacts that doesn't need voice control.
The problem is in CVC control applet, you can only disable contact ONE-BY-ONE by hand! Not even a "disable all" function available! Also, new contacts are automatically added into voice control database....
So, is there anyway to have a function like "disable all" so I can add in only the contact I want, or even better, add only contacts under certain categories (such as "family") but not others?
Thanks in advance!
good question, I would like to know if theres a way also.......

Hi
With My Position it is possible to se actual GPS information via the phones built in GPS and send the position to others via sms or email.
When sending the position via sms or email it is possible to enter a telephone number or email address. It is also possible to select a contact from the contact list.
Sending the position is possible in three diffirent ways.
1) As coordinates which can be inserted directly in Google Earth or Google Maps.
2) As a link to Google Static Maps. When the receiver opens the link the phones default web browser connects to the internet and shows the position on a map in 400x400 pixel resolution.
3) As a link to Google Maps. This option is mostly suitable when sending the position via email.
It is also possible to see ones own position on a map where Google Static Map is being used. The phones default web browser will open and connect to the internet and shows the position on a map in 400x400 pixel resolution.
This is a very good function when you are in a big city with many streets.
There is also a sos function which sends the position and a message of help. Again it is possible to send via sms or email.
The application is developed on a HTC Touch Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. Maybe the aplication can be used on other WM 6.1 phones but that have not been tested.
The application requires .NET Compact Framework 3.5 which can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2ZGV1DNJ (to HTC TD2).
When the application is installed it can be found in Start --> All --> My Position by using TouchFLO.
Everyone is welcome to express theirs opinion about the program, cons, pluses etc.
Last I want to mention that installation is ones own responsibility.

Will check this out. Looks nice. Thanks for your hard work!
I am newbie and learning to do things with Tasker. I already gone through a primer on the Profiles, Tasks and little bit of Variables. Have a limited programming background.
I would like know if I can capture user input/navigation to perform a function in Tasker and create a Widget/Shortcut so I don't have to do multiple steps every time I need to perform the activity.
here is the specific function I want to do it that helps.
On a click of shortcut/Widget:
1. Open Vonage Extension App
2. Wait until the App gets loaded
3. Search and dial a specific number in the contacts list from within Vonage Extension
4. Since my Vonage Extension is linked to a Google Voice number, usually,the GV App opens up asking me to select one of the options( e.g - always use GV, use GV for all international calls etc.,)
5. Choose the desired option in GV and continue the call
I guess step #4 can be performed in the beginning and set it back to default after the call is complete if that's easy.
Appreciate your insight..
Dear all,
This application was inspired by the fact that there are great demand on editing and sending quick SMS, without much action from your hands (no keyboard typing, minimum screen touches). Unfortunately, current applications on the market do not provide an adequate handsfree experience, as they still require many clicks on the screen (search for contacts, select contacts, switch to message text box, etc.). Besides, most of them do not allow multiple sentences to be inputted at one go, as you might need to click to the listen button again and again to add new sentences. Furthermore, punctuation marks and capitalization between sentences are not well managed.
Given the aforementioned reasons, we have created this application, which provides:
Handsfree contact searching
Handsfree contact select and unselect
Handsfree message editing
Support multi-sentence message. You just need to speak sentence by sentence
Support punctuation marks. You can speak "Hello comma how are you doing question mark", the result will be "Hello, how are you doing?". You can also add punctuation marks at the end of your sentence just by saying it.
Auto capitalization at the beginning of sentence
Support sentence or message deletion with voice command
Send message to SMS application with voice command
Adding emoticon with voice commands
Let us make the SMS editing by voice a real handsfree process.

If you see that this application can potentially interesting to you, please don't hesitate to take a look and try it. Your feedbacks will be strongly appreciated and valuable for the evolution of our application.
Best regards

This is a good variant. I think it's better to use apps that have templates or ready-made phrases, of course you need to touch the screen, but a minimum of touches. I'm comfortable with this. You should always aim at a large number of people. I have an example of such an application for images with text like sms https://www.maxaboutsms.com/love_sms.aspx . I use them because they are cute, they can be quickly and conveniently searched for and used. It is also very easy to install. I wish you good luck, I like your approach. People like you do mobile and unique things.
Dear, thank you for your feedback . Definitely, that is also a potential approach. For our application, we target the minimization of screen touch. For now, with our application, users can search for contacts, select/unselect targeting contacts, edit message (add sentences and delete sentences), and forward the message to the default SMS application, with only ONE single touch (to start the voice recognition). With this approach, we believe that it fits various use cases in which users prefer to minimize the number of touches on screen. And last but not least, your messages will not be limited by a finite number of ready-made phrases :-D
UPDATE: Version 1.0.1
We have just released an update which:
Fixes the issue on voice recognition library visibility on Android 11 (for those who have experience with Android 11, this library visibility is no stranger to them)
Improves the flow between searching contacts and editing message. For example, if the application is currently focusing on the message editing, and you say "Drop all contacts", the application will unselect all selected targeting contacts for you, and also switch the focus to contact autocomplete box.
Allows users to re-enable the tutorial. It will be useful if you forgot how the application works and want to see the showcases again.
