Voice commander - Silencing it!

The HTC voice commander, is there any way to stop it repeating what you said after you've spoken someones name or the application to load?
cheers guys

Could be wrong here, but I think it is prompting you to confirm that it has interpreted your command properly.
When I am making a call, it won't proceed until I have said "yes" after it repeats the contact name.

(and FYI, it's Microsoft Voice Command, not made by HTC)

ok then cheers.
iv had a look under all the command settings and it doesnt say anywhere about turning the repeat off. With my command it beeps, then i say the name, then it calls. It doesnt wait for confirmation etc at all.

Doesn't cyberon have a program named voice commander?

I am fairly certain the original question was referring to Cyberon voice dialer. I don't think you would want to silence it since it is not always that accurate. It will repeat back to you what it "thinks" you said. This gives you the opportunity to cancel if it gets it wrong.
On the flip side, I discovered that if your phone is set to vibrate only, the speaker is turned off and the voice dialer is silenced... So there is at least one way to accomplish what you want.

My mistake, that does sound like Voice Commander. Not a big fan of that program...

Apologies guys, just checked the 'about' of it and it is Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.
Id still be interested in silencing it if anyone has any advice. I know its usefull hearing it back to you, but usually i say the name then lift my head to go about something else, only checking the screen top see if its a name iv had problems (voice) calling before.
That being said, are there any alternatives that are more popular? Iv had a bit of a look around but havnt found any other free programs that beat the standard voice dial.

Nothing free, but MS Voice Command is a good alternative. Cost's $40 or something like that but I am about to pull the trigger on it cuz Cyberon suks and has some kind of conflict with my bluetooth headset...

My vote goes to MS Voice Command also. I'm also rather fond of it repeating back to me what it's about to do, since it sometimes hears me wrong.

For people in the US on AT&T, the latest leaked WM 6.1 build has MS Voice Command integrated in to the ROM. Dutty used it as part of his Apr 09/16 release, so MSVC is already loaded and ready to go.

Is there a way to have the repeated command sent to the earpiece speaker rather than the speakerphone? I like to hold my phone up to my ear and forget sometimes as the speaker blasts away at my eardrum...

Been using it for a few days now and im starting to get used to the voice so guess ill just live with it.
Thanks for the help anyway guys

[Q] Is It Possible to Crreate Text Messages with Voice-to-Text?

I feel incredibly dumb asking this -
Is it possible to create text message text with voice input?
My Android phone always had a mic button on the keyboard to initiate this feature; which I can't find on the WP7 keyboard.
If I'm right and it's not possible on Nodo, is there a chance it will show up on Mango?
Before posting I checked this forum; all of XDA, my user manual and then Bing'd and Googled it as well and came up nil.
Any feedback is hugely appreciated - thanks!!
(EDIT) I just found out this WILL be a key feature within Mango..

There is a mic button for speech to text in 7720.68 works flawlessly!

Use a wired or a bluetooth headset and all goes to auto...
Read this.

Also just to clarify in Mango under settings, speech make sure enable speech recognition over the network is on. the very bottom option let's you choose when to use it via bluetooth is the default, but you can choose headset or all the time. basically it works the same way as voice to calling does. Hold down the windows key when the voice promt comes up say text then the contact, the robo chick will prompt you to say your message.

[Q] Keyboard with individual predictions?

Hi Guys,
I was thinking about buying a Samsung Ativ S because my Android device isn't working correctly.
But there is one point which makes me thinking about staying with Android.
Therefore i wanted to ask, if there is a Swiftkey equivalent on WP?
Or is the WP keyboard also capable of adapting the predictions to the words i often type, even if i type some words in an uncommon way?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

It's quite capable of adapting to the words you type, although if the word is not in its dictionary (which is quite comprehensive, in my experience) you will need to add it manually (easily done). Correct the word (or undo an auto-correction) a few times and it will quickly learn. With that said, I don't know Swiftkey (and the keyboard can not *currently* be changed, although the ATIV S is the WP8 model that we're closest to achieving that with). It's quite possible that there are specific features of Swiftkey that you're looking for which WP8 does not provide.

Thanks for your answer. The cool thing in using Swiftkey is that if you are typing a word it is predicting the next word without typing the first letter.
Is it the same in WP?
And another question, does the WP messaging app convert a SMS to MMS after having more than 480 (three SMS) characters typed in, because that is a thing which, in my opinion is weird "feature" in a time in which nearly everyone does have a flatrate in sending SMS?
Cheers

The WP8 keyboard will offer auto-complete options for the next word based on what you've typed so far, yes. You need to manually select them - no just hitting Space, Space, Space to type the next three words - but it's very easy to do.
I don't know what the threshold is (I don't write long SMS very often, and for people who don't have unlimited SMS I use chat) but WP8 will combine sufficiently long multi-SMS messages into a single MMS, yes.

Keyboard layout... Anyone else do this?

Basically ever since I got my N5. The bigger screen kinda messes me up when I text or use the keyboard at all. Sometimes I use the swipe method to write on my phone, but other times I just do old fashioned button presses. When I text normally and I go to hit the space bar I will usually hit the period by accident. I'm pretty fast and don't usually look over my texts before I send them so my friends usually get text messages from me that look sometime like this;
"Hey.what are.you.doing today after work? You.wanna.go.grab.lunch at subway.or something?"
I never did it on my slide out phone obviously, or my gnex. This screen is just wide enough to make it happen for me. I'm still not used to having to reach so far right when trying to put in a period. Also I disable double tap space to enter punctuation. I find it annoying.
Not really a complaint or trying to vent at all. Just curious if I was the only one who did this as I have been called out on several occasions by multiple people as to why I replace my spaces with periods.
FYI I put this in general and not Q+A because it's not a serious issue that I need support for and I believe Q+A should be reserved for those kinds of posts.

I'm a big proponent of just using voice recognition for entering texts...sure, you can't always do it for discretionary purposes, not to mention sometimes it makes you look like a weirdo...
But now that the voice recognition is built into the phone it works so well.

Thanks for the reply. I only ever use that driving.
I leave it mounted on Google Now. That way I can say text so and so or navigate to, etc. When I'm not driving I usually just text normally or swipe.
I agree that voice to text works very well on this phone as well. Back on my Droid X it would never pick up my sentences correctly. I guess my bad luck with it previously helps account to why I don't use it much.
I also literally just noticed something about the keyboard I never realized. It's probably been around forever, though. When you want to input a number, you can long press the top row of keys to get that number or you can just press the symbols key and open the keypad with the numbers. That I knew. I just figured out you can press the symbols key and without picking up your finger, swipe somewhere on the keyboard and it switches to the symbols page. Release your finger on the desired key and bam. Number or symbol inputted and your back on the alphabet keys. This method is faster than the other two. Awesome.... And sorry for being so far behind.

I like the voice to text as well it works really good especially if you speak clearly. Sometime though, you don't have that option. That's where a different keyboard comes into play. There are soooo many in the play store. Have you tried one? Some are so customizable it's insane. Some to try out: perfect keyboard, smart keyboard, SwiftKey, swype, touchpal, thumb keyboard, and about 50 more

I.did.this.all.the.time.on.sub.5.inch.devices.
The screen on this device actually makes typing a fabulous experience. I rarely ever hit the "." unintentionally, and I rather enjoy typing again.
My last device had a 4.3 inch screen, and I would make this mistake all the time.

I have to say, it got easier for me. On my n4 I had the exact same problem. But the n5 has the perfect screen size for writing in my opinion.
It only rarely happens that there is a "b" or "n" instead of space.
But I really had to get used to in the beginning.

attached is an image of SwiftKey's 'compact mode'. it can be pushed to either side of the device and makes it easier to type with one hand on the bigger devices

This happens to me as well. It never happened on my nexus 4.

This is probably not the input you're looking for but it is a good habit to review what you typed before you send it. The recipients, and you, will appreciate it.

You should think about taking off some extra buttons (in Advanced settings) -- if you remove both the Voice Input button and the language toggle, the space bar is much bigger (making it an easier target).

This happens to me all the time on my old S2! However I've taken special care to stretch my thumb further, so I don't get that as much.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and removed the comma button to lengthen the keyboard.
Maybe a solution for you is to use Smart Keyboard Pro, remove the fullstop button and add in the comma button (it's on the left) so your right thumb will hit the space button for sure. Only issue then is getting used to holding down the comma button for a fullstop

Google Voice to Text gets things WRONG, especially punctuation.

I use Voice to Text a lot because it's just quicker for me.
Lately, like the past few months, I've noticed its getting words VERY wrong.
I'm American and I have no noticeable accent other than your standard live up north accent and like I said, it worked before.
My biggest pet peeves is that when I say "comma" instead of "," it ALWAYS gives me "oh,"... It just seems to randomly add the word "oh" in there now.
I remember something about voice to text learning speech, can you reset that crap?
I have to go back and correct like 3~5 words or punctuation marks in each message I send now depending on length.

Don't know much about that. But have you checked that your microphone is still good? That you use the right variation of English? Whether the offline language file is up to date?
I found those options in Settings->Google. But nothing about total reset.
