Hello
can somebody help me understanding the difference betwenn Voice command and speed dial and if I can use both on the same PDA ?
So far I understand that
- Speed Dial dials numbers and start programs by using voice tags
- you need to train each name to be recognized
- there is no true voice recognition
- Voice command dials numbers and starts programs by voice recognition
- in addition VC reads calendar entries and SMS/E-Mail
- there is no training mode to increase accurancy
So which program would provide better results for recognize and dial numbers by voice ?
Can I run both in parallel and use VC for the calendar function and Voice speed dial for the dialing ?
Plus I try to install VC 1.6 now .. but the button maps only to the explorer button on my TytnII .. not able to move him to the voice record button with the button application in settings
any suggestion / fix
Thanks freecall

I have the same problem.... any solution?!?!?!?
Cyberon is crap. I posted a detailed procedure for replacing it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337501
I have installed Cyberon voice commander v2.0 and i am very happy with it when i use it with my bluetooth!!!
My only problem is that i do not know how to assign this program to the default "button 6".
I think default settings are:
"Button 6" --> Cyberon voice commander and
"Button 6 (Hold)" --> Record. (This one works).
hmm that sounds like a drastic deinstall .. so anyway to get the Voice speed dial back without doing a full hard reset if I would it like better than VC after some testing ?

M$ Voice Command ROCKS!
Ok I don’t say that about many applications especially M$ ones but I love VC. I keep my phone in its case and the BT ear piece in the ear, when the phone rings or I get a Text message VC tells me who is calling or reads the text to me. If I have an appointment but don’t recall what time it is, I just ask VC.
As far as accuracy in voice dial, it can’t be beat, say “Call: Joe Blow on mobile phone” and it will confirm “Call Joe Blow on mobile?” never misses. Say; “Dial 2125551212” and it will confirm and dial the number. No voice tags no training and it works for anyone. If my wife grabs my phone and needs to call someone she hits the VC button and off she goes.
Ok so there is one issue, with the Tilt there is no convenient button to map too, but since I do all my dialing from the BT headset or car unit it doesn’t matter to me. If you don’t mind it maped to your IE soft key ok, you can get to IE 3 or 4 other ways. On my old wizard (long live the wizard) I had it mapped to the record button and it worked great.

I have to agree with Russ. Microsoft Voice Commander is by far the best ~$17.00 I have spent for this phone, as well as the 8125 I had before this. The Voice regconition is awesome. I did have to change the buttons as described above. I chose the camera button as I never use the camera anyway. It works great with my HT700(headset) as well as the HT820(bluetooth headphones). The options allow for a good level of customization as well.
that sounds realy good and I will start testing it .Two quick questions to the comments above:
- have you installed VC without deleting / un-installing Voice speed dial on your Kaiser ?
- second it looks my device recognize all VC commands like time, date , help , signal etc but when I say call First Name Last Name it never finds any of my 590 contacts .. even it the name is as simple as Taxi G7 .. beep comes back empty .
When I say just call .. it dials a number I do not even recognize.
Can this be related that I do not have a option menu for contact in the VC settings (it is greyed ) , I can only select the notification button ?
Or is this maybe because I use PI 2007 ?
Thanks Freecall

freecall,
Right now i have both installed (getting ready to delete Voice Dial) and VC is partially functional. I will accept commands and process them correctly but it will not announce calls, read messages or calendar data. So once i have VD removed I will let you know.
I recommend you also remove voice dial before trying anymore tests.

I did not uninstall Voice Dial. IF you want to hear the calls and emails, make you configure VC properly. There is settings for only:
1.) Only announce during Free-Time. Make sure you check that one to whatever you want.
2.) Only High Priorty Emails get annouced. Again, check whichever option you want.
Where do I get a list of commands that VC will recognize? E.G Dial, Recall, on Mobile, etc.
Say "What can I say?" and you'll have your answer...

or go to the Microsoft website and look up VoiceCommand 1.6 for PPC. The list is really quite long!

Any ideas Gang?
So, after following the thread for removing voice dialer and remapping the PTT button to become button 6 and button 6 (hold) VC is still not announcing incoming calls (and yes I have configured the options!) anyone have any idea why it would perform 90% of its duty and not the last 10%?
Russ741
Are you sure it's not announcing them, or is it possible it's announcing them through the "wrong" speaker? If you've got it set to use BT, BT, and only BT, then all of the announcements go through the headset, or don't get made if it's not currently connected (like walking out of range and then back in).
I tweaked mine to announce only through the speaker, then turned it off because the robot voice annoyed me, but at first I thought it wasn't working...
One question about VC...
Do you have to say the person's full name to dial them? Let's say I have a contact name John Smith, do I have to say "Call John Smith Mobile", or can I program nicknames somewhere within the software so I can say something like "Call Smitty"?
It's based on the contact name, so "Call Smitty" will confuse it.
Is it possible to send messages just using voice or only receive them?

It is based on what ever names you have in contacts so, for example if I want to call my office I say; "Call work" since there is only one number in the contacts database VC doesnt ask for Mobile, home or work. And since my office is just listed as First Name: Work Last Name: <blank> it understands.

I simply reads the text or email to you, so there is no way to compose a message with VC.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the phone default to the business number instead of the mobile number of a contact?
This can save me quite some usage costs.
How is it you are calling people? Do you use the default WM6 contact's list?
I type in some of the keys of the keypad until the right contact is found and the press the green button to call the person.
This takes the mobile number as default.
Got it...
I'll explain step by step what i did, just so we know we're on the right page...
Pressed Green Phone button
Typed in name using On-Screen Button's (I typed in Kenny, so dialled 5 3 6 6 9)
When Kenny's name appeard, I pressed and held his name, so a menu appeared from my stylus
I selected "Work"
I immediately hung up (cos i didn't actually want to call him, just test this theory )
From then on, whenever I dialled Kenny, it would default to his work number.
Try this and see if it works, I know it's not an ideal solution, but let me know how you get on...
EDIT: Alternatively, I've just found out you can use the D-pad to change the default. SO step by step again...
Press Green Phone button
Use on-screen dialler
when your desired contact appears, press down on the D-Pad untill you highlight them
When highlighted, press right on the D-Pad to change the default number (for reference; h = home, m = mobile, w = work)
That seems to work.
The problem is however that it takes me to remember I actually called this person before.
The trouble is that I have 700 colleagues with a short (cheaper) business number and a mobile number.
An alternative I tried was to switch the business number and the mobile number in the contacts, but the I get in to trouble when I want to send an SMS.
Thanks for letting me know about the PAD
I was actually calling people and hanging up all over the place until I realized through Your note that I can just go into contacts and while scrolling down the contacts with the nav-pad change their default number by pressing the nav-pad sideways... No need to call people hanging up on them
That sounds excellent.
I tried it and it works for me.
Thanks for the tip.
I use att and my speed dial 1 used to dial my voicemail, now it does not and I cannot seem to program it under the speedial menu, I can only program numbers greater than 2. Anyone have any ideas?
in dial pad, press 1 and hold it until it dials out.
I think he's saying that doesn't work now... how can he fix it.
go into settings - phone - voice mail and text messaging - get settings, then make sure you have the voicemail number set as this is associated with speed dial 1...

exactly, i was just going to answer that, but you beat me to it.
whatever number you enter in that setting will be set to number 1 speed dial. you may need to check with your carrier to get the correct number.
its already set in there, thats the funny thing, the voicedial number is in there but when I hold down 1 nothing happens!
First of all, I am really liking the Fuze. Adding tweaks all over the place.
The only thing I miss from my Treo is the one touch button that allowed me to call my voice mail (cell and/or work) with the various keystrokes already programmed in, making dialing, deleting messages, etc. a lot easier.
Any options here?
thanks,
George
Just hold down the 1 key on the dialer
Or, if you run phoneAlarm, you can set your voicemail number in the VM dialer option so the phone will ask you if you want to dial voicemail when you touch the voicemail alarm icon.
Been wishing to make use of the front camera...
Would really be cool if i can use if for yahoo messenger.
And if you can activate it via wifi..(not on an unlimited data plan)
Even if you find such app. it probbably wouldnt work on X2.
You can use the front camera for wathching Your Own face, but nothing else by pressing quickly
Call End Key Call End Key Call Key Call End Key Call End Key
or Say
End Key (twice)
Call Key
End Key (Twice)
then go to Test menu and select VT Camera
You can experience other options too.
