I often find myself late at night having to reach for the keyboard to type something in the browser on the PC. On Screen Keyboard helps, but it's slow. Gmote helped even more, but I'd like the step further and go with the voice input.
I've used Windows 7's voice recognition, but I find that my android phone does a better job at recognising some things.
I'd like to either use my phone as a wireless microphone for my PC to use with Windows 7's voice recognition, or just being able to use the voice input from the android phone to input text on the PC.
However, for some reason neither Gmote or Teamviewer allows you to use the mic button on your android keyboard. Thus preventing us lazy people from dictating to the computer.
Droidcam works for video and audio, but not as a Recording Device in the Windows sound settings and therefore can't be used as a voice recognition device.
Long question short:
How do I input text on the PC by shouting at my phone?
And yes, I chose a lollipop because it looks like a mic.
easy

I just bought a Touch Diamond -very nice phone with a couple exceptions.
Touchflo 3d is nice but Im finding it doesnt have much depth - it needs more functions. And the loudspeaker is not very good - not loud, not clear.
Anyways, its my first windows mobile phone and had a couple questions about what WM6.1 can do. Im using Vista btw.
1. Email - Im downloading ALL my email and its fairly big. Can I force it to save only to internal storage?
2. Music - How do you get the album photo to come up while playing through Touchflo music - the picture does come up if i just play in windows media player.
3. Is it possible to add/remove multiple contacts from the People Menu ie Favourite contact
4. Most important - connectivity. Is it possible to access the phone wirelessly from PC via router? The phone connects to the router wirelessly fine and I can use the internet. But what I want to be able to do is either access the internal storage or sync up with outlook without using the usb cable.
5. What kind of BASIC phone functions does it have?
Eg. Call timer during call
Stop it going to that call history page after a call - i want it to go straight back to home.
Theres more functions it seems to be missing....
6. How do you make it so it FULLY shuts down a program when u hit the top right close button? I dont want to have to keep re-hitting the top right button to open task manager and full close it that way.
7. Lastly, is there any secret tips that a newbie wouldnt know about eg. codes to get to secret menus etc?
1. I don't think so, but I don't download email, so somebody who does may be able to help.
2. Strange problem, probably to do with the version of ID3 tags each uses. But again I have no idea how to solve it
3. No idea with no device in hand
4. Microsoft, being twats, reoved sync via Wi-Fi with the upgrade to WM2003. So, sorry mate, no way that I know
5. My dialer on my other PPC has call timer I think, but the diamond's may not, a new dialer with it included may solve the problem.
Other stuff missing?
6. Get a proper x button, like WKTask, or Wisbar, or something similar. Its also probably possible to change the settings to make it close by tapping X. I also think that with the HTC program, you can close by tap and hold, or, from today, click where the x should be, and a menu comes up enabling you to close them individually.
7. Secret codes? Not that I know of.
Hope the small things I have known here do help
Rory
Yeah, 6 is definitely something that can be done in the standard Windows Mobile settings (unless they've removed the setting in 6.1, in which case a registry edit might do it).
I guess when the phone has been out for a while, a lot of registry tweaks and utils will show up around here to adress all kinds of small and big issues.
i was gona go for a diamond but look at htc touch pro. everything diamond plus hardware keyboard and memory expansion slot (minus front camera).
Found how to fully close the progam in one go - went to task manager - button - and chose "End Programs by tapping X"
Under this option is "End programs by tapping and holding X" which is the default.
I tried it and it does work but I dont like it. Coz u cant really tell how long to hold it. If u keep holding, the program actually just stays open until u release. And I guess if u release too early it wont fully close.
Anyways - thats not a huge issue - wireless sync is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone found a way to get around it?
Best you can do with WIFI is put the UNC name of your pc into the browser and bring up the shares.
If you want to sync wirelessly, you'll have to do it via bluetooth. You should be able to get a bluetooth dongle for your pc for about 20 bucks though.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Going through Opera to browse my PC directory - You little beauty!!!
Now, how do I set up a name for the diamond so I can see it on my PC. Is there a setting you have to enable? I browse for "PCs" and it doesnt find the diamond - just my other PCs
Is anyone going to made a "My Mobiler" type of application for the G1?
It was very nice to have it with my Wing.
i loved it on my Wing too. i miss it!
Please report this thread to Koush
As he already have Screenshot Application Relaying it to any IP Socket can make a Video Streaming of Onscreen on G1 then only Catching Mouse and Keyboard Events from PC to G1 is require and mapped and channels to Device can be done to Make such Applications
Bump!
Did anyone ever find an app that does anything remotely like this? I'd love to have this capability, since I'm near a desktop pretty much all day and could benefit greatly by responding to messages through a PC based console.

Someone, please do it! I used MyMobiler constantly on my previous WinMo phone (T-Mobile MDA). I would pay to have its equivalent for the Android T-Mobile G1. I haven't rooted my G1 (yet) but would absolutely do it if it was required for running a MyMobiler-like app.
Just think of it:
- Type text messages using your keyboard.
- View your mobile screen on your desktop.
- Control your mobile by using desktop keyboard and mouse.
- Copy/Cut/Paste text between mobile and desktop.
- Capture mobile screen.
- Drag and drop files to your mobile.

i looked in to this a little for a project i am working on (Droid Explorer). I found that /dev/input/event1 is the touch events, /dev/input/event2 is the trackball events, /dev/input/event3 is the keyboard and buttons, i cant figure out what /dev/input/event0 and /dev/input/event4 are for.
I tried writing to the file with events that were "recorded" but was unable to write to it. That is as far as I got when I was looking in to it, I put it on the back burner for now.
This would definitely be awesome to get going
Hmm, im not a dev or anything but wouldn't it be somewhat easy to redirect the emulator in the SDK to use the phone instead of the files in the SDK?

it works realy slow so its not for daily use (and after a time of use, the android turns into a reboot), but i think in the sorcecode you can find something that can help u
Hey guys there is one now!
[Tool] Android Screencast (open-source)

Go search for mymobiler at code.google.com and vote for it.
I want something like this too and I can't root my phone...
Does the VNC Viewer work over USB? (On Windows Mobile it make a RNDIS connection over USB so I could use TCP/IP programs like Web/FTP/VNC Servers...)
MyMobiler for Android is good solution
For those who have used MyMobiler on WM, I just read on there website that MyMobiler now supports Android! I tested it and it works on my Inspire

Hi,
I have the strangest thing on my HTC touch pro when using remote desktop.
This is my set up:
->ZaTunnel to connect to an ssh server within the local network at my workplace, with the port 3389 forwarding to a remote desktop enabled windows pc at my workplace (lp 3389; IP/URL: "Hostname"; rp 3389)
->WM6 Remote desktop connects to localhost with the username and password of "Hostname" at my workplace
This seems to work perfectly, I can see the desktop of "Hostname", with the only problem that my s-key and i-key don't seem to work, which is really annoying. They still work on my mobile, but not within the remote desktop session.
Any ideas?
My ROM (if needed):5.05.404.1 NLD
WM6 Remote Desktop I got from https://www.kckenterprises.com/WM6RDP.cab
i also get the same thing...I'm not sure why...and numlock On and Off everytime I type with the onboard keyboard..so its hard to enter other numbers (or it does not enter at all) besides the number 1.
as a temp work around you could always use windows on screen keyboard, it is hiding under accessories--> accessibility options.
Happens to me too, although on a different device (HTC Kovsky aka Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1). Backspace key doesn't work either
i can't seem to find the accessories -> accessibility option?
Layzieguy, what ice_coffee is saying is the on screen keyboard of the (windows xp) remote computer you're connected to. This you can find in Start > All Programs > Accessoires > accessibility options > "On-screen keyboard". This is indeed a workaround, but it's a pitty we can't fully use our quite descent hardware keyboard on the touch pro and xperia apparently.
So, just to make sure, you guys also use ZaTunnel in combination with WM6 Remote Desktop? Just so we have an idea where the problem lies.
Can anybody help a nooby:
when I remote desktop into XP, I just can't see most of the screen, even if I set my XP desktop to lowest avail res (600x800). Shouldn't I have scroll bars on my Fuze Remote Desktop app?
OK, that's quite strange actually, you shoul at least have scrollbars.
What I see, is most of the desktop, automatically on a VGA resolution, with scrollbars. When I put this on fullscreen I can see the complete desktop without problems, so now we have a second problem...
angelofhope, oh on your actual windows desktop...I guess you could use that..but oh wells..it works all good but just that...
markmensch, did you try the options before you log on?
I purchased Spashtop Desktop to remotely access my Mac, and everything works great except for the ability to type.
I've tried rebooting, multiple text boxes...I can bring up the software keyboard, but typing on it produces nothing.
I've google'd the heck out of it, looks like I'm the only person with this issue? Hoping somebody here has a suggestion.
Thanks!
Has anyone experience with the freedom keyboard advertised "Compatible with Android, Windows 7/8 (Desktop and Mobile), Apple iOS, BlackBerry and Symbian " by Amazon. does it work with the Samsung WP8 phone?
Second after searching in the phonebook I have now all the letters shown in the apllication, just blank without anything. Any Idea how I get rid of it? Strange

I think you asked this in another thread about a different device. The title on that device is misleading and some of the reviews even speak to WP7/8 not working on it.
Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 does not allow a BT keyboard or a USB keyboard to be attached or synced to the device for text input.
There are no keyboards available for your device.
Human Interface Bluetooth Profile is not part of Windows Phone 7 or Windows Phone 8. Below is a list of the current BT user profiles developers can use, please note that you do not see HID listed. As I noted in your other thread about BT keyboards, this is a known issue with thousands of requests to have it changed. You too can add your comments to MS here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...port-for-hid-human-interface-device-bluetooth
List of supported BT profiles and versions:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP 1.2)
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP 1.4)
Hands Free Profile (HFP 1.5)
Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP 1.1)
Object Push Profile (OPP 1.1)
Out of Band (OOB) & Near Field Communications (NFC)
As far as your phone book goes, I believe there is no way to eliminate the unused letters and the letters only show up when you exceed a certain number of contacts. The same thing occurs in the start menu when you go over a certain amount of apps, you will see alphabetical. (I may not be understanding your issue, take a screen shot with your phone and post it) to take screen shots press the power and home button at the same time.
