has anyone found or heard of a cab for voice texting, i found this website but its for nokia phones http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/?action=productDetails&pID=3304&pmsid=254&lang=en
i think this app would be cool if ur driving, ifind it difficult to text when driving especially with the tilt. any cabs out there?
You want Palringo. It does just that. IM and Voice IM.
have u tried it on ur tilt?
From the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking, http://www.nuance.com/voicecontrol/. Or try this Google search, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mobile+voice+to+text.
There was an application supplied with iMate JasJar's sold in the UAE by a company that came from Dubai.
Sorry but can't remember that far back what it was called (age ya know!)
It provided Extended SMS with colour/font changing, drawing and voice clip capabilities. It would only work if both parties had the SW installed.
Biggest drawback (and why its no longer available I think) is that the multiple SMS's required to carry voice data were more expensive than dialling someone's voice mail!!! Funny really...
I've Googled but there doesn't appaers to be anything suitable around at the moment.
i tried google...but that app for nokia phone looks like it works well any one kno if i can work on the tilt? and y does palringo ask for my mobile #?
You might try jott.com.
Does this work with AT&T Tilt 8925?
Should do!
It looks to me like a standard subscription service where you ring them and a little old lady types it in on her keyboard and sends it out as a text for you! (or is it the other way around?)
Not found an actual voice app but seen a nifty little SMS app that tags on nicely to the Kaiser called XMS from Imaginet.
http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=xms
Gives you full smileys and coloured handwriting but the flaw is the recipient also has to have it installed. Good job its 'Buy one get on free then!'
Ignore the 'up to CE2005' as it works perfectly.
Nuance not available for purchase!

Palringo works great on my Tilt. I'm using it right now to talk to a guy with Voice IM. Have also done text (standard) IM.
www.palringo.com
how does it work, it said something about being online?

Palring is a free program? I can use it free ?
I have to pay something when i use it?
Palringo is an Instant Messaging package similar to MSN Messenger but also has voice.
No text to speech.
So you just register and it uses a data connection (phone or WiFi) the data call is the only cost so far.
but only to other Perlingo contacts? you can't use it to voice text anyone else?
It does not do 'voice texts' as such.
It's an IM client in its own right that can chat between its own members or any members on other networks such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc.
You can leave voice messages to other palringo users.
If you are wanting a package that sends voice over the standard SMS network then I think you will be out of luck as it would cost more in text messages to send the sound data than it would ringing.
Other alternative would be for someone to generate a Speach recognition package that writes your SMS and sends it out!
Why not send an MMS?? You can put voice clips on that!
yes voice to standard sms text message is what we (I) want. you're driving along and receive a text message. you want to just speak a short reply and send it rather than fiddling with the phone illegally to compose a message using the keyboard
Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott
for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré
OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?
Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?
bump.......
When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers
Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...
Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!

Hi all..
Is there any way i can make my Diamond read out the caller's name whenever the phone rings.. as in the N series (Nokia) phones.. This feature is very handy, that i dont need to go to the table to see who's calling...
It already does that automatically. If you have the programmed the number in your contacts list, it will automatically search the name corresponding with the caller's nr.
Or, did you mean something else?
Speaker is not that loud on Jewel.
But I would definitely be interested in this.
I think 'Voice Command' does it!
Do a search ...
Dear Akito, i mean My Nokia N73 (All N series) reads the name in between playing the ringtone... That is ---Ringtone--Name---Ringtone---Name--, so i can here the name of person calling me from far off the room.. and that's an in built feature of N series not a third party software..
You could do this manually, I have a lot of peoples voices as my ringtones. I simply make them say something, and record it. Then I associate the recording with the corresp. person, so I always know who's calling, if it's someone from my contacts, even before I get my phone out of my pocket... Besides it's a lot of fun, some of my "ringtones" are hilarious
Dear Flipside your idea is good, but not functional, i mean i have over 670 contacts, i can't keep manually making a ringtone for each!!! My Nokia N73 reads any new name added to the adress book..!!
anyway thanks for the idea, i can do that for my close contacts
Yeah, I'm a big fan of this feature on my N73 (although Bulgarian names often don't sound quite right ). Especially when listening to music thru stereo headset or driving car with bluetooth handsfree (which is most of the time for me) and your phone is not that easy to reach in your pocket.
Can somebody confirm is there any 3rd party app that does that?
Generally that`s not an N73 feature but a Symbian feature ... so any Symbian phone of 60v3 at least can do that. It did my N80 and N6120 as well ... and I would be happy if Diamond has this feature.
So finally as yet no solutions to this?????
Try Microsoft Voice Command.

Yea and it can even read out your text messages
Yes MS Voice Command does this:
Spoken caller ID. Windows Mobile smartphone users can take full advantage of incoming caller ID without ever looking down at the screen. Incoming call information is announced as calls are received. Users who think they may have missed a call can simply ask, "What calls did I miss?" and Voice Command will recite the time and phone number of missed calls.

Good luck
Do someone know how to put two mobile numbers in one contact.
It is very important, because it is very complicated to send SMS on the mobile number if it is stored under another type of number.
Some of my friend have two numbers and also if someone is writing me an SMS from a number that is not stored under mobile and I want answer, you can't just tap for replay, because the Diamond will use the default mobile number of the contact, not the from from which the SMS was send... it is really incredible. I realised it after some friends didn't recieved my SMS... also because you cannot check to which number you send it... there is just a name!!!
Do someone have a solution?!?!?
It is really annoying for me!!
Thnx!!

You should be able to solve it via editing the contact either on the PC with which you sync or directly on your device, going to contacts and editing the contact. Just enter the second number in another field, like home, work, main, primary, etc. The label does not really matter.

As the OP states the label absolutely does matter. For example, a telephone number in the 'Work' field will never be offered when typing a name into the To: field of an SMS message.

Correct, for SMS only Mobile will be offered as alternative but as for Caller ID it does not matter.
Not sure if it would help you or even work for your problem, but in Outlook there is a phone type of "car" that you could use. Like I said, not sure if that would help with the SMS issue, but it might.
MJNewton understood my problem...
My problem is to send an SMS to a number which is not under the label mobile.
Also the car label doesn't work. It offers you only the mobile number for sending SMS.
It is really very stupid not to add also a mobile2 label and to offer both numbers!
Would someone invent something for this?!? Do only we in Slovenia have sometimes two mobile numbers?!?!
Thnx!!

Same here, I have friends studying abroad, with one mobile phone in each country... Solved it using the "work" section, but it's not that good for the SMS... Perhaps if we find the template somewhere it could be changed ?
I would think the logical solution (workaround) would be to have two different contacts in your contact list.
I have this issue aswell.
What yoiu could try is use an app like Icontact or pocketcm.
I beleive you can pick the number were you want to sms to.
have not try'd it my self
i dont have this problem?
if i goto new text, then add contact the contacts list appears, then when i click the contact i have to choose which number i want (mobile, work, mobile2, home ect)
which method are you using to add contacts to the SMS?

The problem is if you go to your contacts, select one and then pick write sms.
you wont get an option.
or when you reply to an sms (al though i do think then when i reply it does sent it to the number you are replying to.
but it is annoying that you cant see which number it was)
When you use the SMS application and you press "To:" it will show your contacts list and when chosing a name you'll be presented with all the numbers you have for that contact wether mobile, home or work so I don't really see the problem.
Garcia
...possible.....
I don't have too many friends walking around with two mobiles consistently on their person so I don't really considerthis an issue
but if I did (like for differnet countries) and I wanted this to work I would make an exact copy of the original Contact amd slightly change the name to represent the second mobile i.e.
Fred1 Smith xxxxxx
Fred2 Smith yyyyyy
....suppose that would work....
Two mobiles in one contact.
You can't do that on the phone although outlook could do it!
Do as I did in the past.
You have two numbers for John Smith?
contact1: JohnSmith1
contact2: JohnSmith2
TWO MOBILES!!
How far out can you fall with the same name?
I actually had each number on different name because I wanted to know straight way who phoned me.
So I had like DaveMob, DaveHm, DaveFax, etc.
Hi,
My brother and his wife share the same house phone number.
When I call my brother, the phone shows her contact information.
The same happens to other contacts. When I call my wife at home, my contact info shows up during the "call".
People with the same phone numner:
Jan Nissens
Nadine Van den Abbeele
Tom Nissens
Yasmine Nissens
With default Dialer from TyTN II:
When I call Jan at home, it dials Tom
When I call Nadine at home, it dials Tom
When I call Yasmine at home, it dials Tom
When I call Tom at home, it dials Tom
Doe someone else experience this?
Or even better: who has the solution to this problem?
Patrick
You have stored the same nr. on youre brother and hes wife, you need to change what is the main nr. Like now its the house nr. So when you call youre brother, he got the same nr. as youre brothers wife.
Give the troubled contact order to call cell nr. as default instead.
I don't understand your solution. Can you be more specific?

You have saved more than one contact on the same phone number. When you want to dial one of them the other shows as contact as they share the same number.
Indeed, that is the problem. And do you have a solution?
Patrick
he already stated his solution
you have x listed as same number as home
you need to make y the same number but not save it as their home number.
two diff contacts, same number, save one as home and the other contact as something else like "pager, work2, etc...
I'm afraid that this will not work properly with spb Mobile Shell. I can call Home, Work and Mobile. But all these numbers all occupied.
Maybe Microsoft (developer of Windows Mobile) or HTC (customiser of Windows Mobile) has to come up with a solution.

SPB are the ones you want to ask to improve the interface if the solution works normally as stated with WM, to be honest i would just put a contact as say Mat & Shaz if they lived together or as you have since my brain would communicate to me and say they live together and i know who i'm calling...
Merging them into 1 contact isn't a good idea:
- I can't store the birthday for each of the contacts
- They have 2 kids, so there is a total of 4 persons with 1 home phone number
- I want to be able to know who i called before (I tap on the corresponding person to call the home number).

They are not going to adapt to SPB Anyways, make contacts like this then:
Wife Home, Wife Work, Brother Home, Brother Work. Yeah you will have more contacts instead of all numbers in one, but you will not have problem calling them.

Given that HTCs default Sim Manager/Contacts program automatically labels all of my imported from the SIM phone numbers, as Cell Phone numbers (even landline ones) and there seems to be no way to correct this during a batch import (I'm not going to go in and edit each one), I'd have little faith in a software solution but you could dictate to your friends that they all install multiple numbers at their homes and have them individually assigned for your ease of identification
Seriously though, if you want them still to be friends, there's no simple way to get around this problem as the Caller ID information that comes into your phone specifies a phone number and that number is tied to a contact (or several in your case). How is the phone to know which contact is on the other end of the phoneline actually making the call? HTC hasn't developed a crystal ball plugin

I'm not referring to incoming calls, but to outgoing calls.

Sorry for misunderstanding you. Although your post is titled with 'calling', I just couldn't see where the real problem lay as you already know who you're calling because you looked it up in your contacts and tapped it. Although another name may subsequently be displayed on the phone, that's one of the problems with HTCs software (along with incorrectly assuming all imported sim contacts are cell phone numbers). Short of re-writing that code yourself, I know of no way to fix it. You'll be better off keeping all your birthdates and 'finer details' elsewhere IMO. Personally, although I dabbled in using the 'onboard' contacts, I now only use sim contacts.
The other people who have posted here look to have provided plenty of workarounds but it's HTC (or spb) that would need to fix the software to get things exactly how you want it. I suggest that you report this to them and see what they have to say about it.
I have a fix for this; hopefully this will work in your country too.
For my sister I store the home number as 0123456789p1
For my brother-in-law I store the number as 0123456789p2
The "p" tells the dialer to pause and this is then treated like a different number. the number after the "p" is (in the UK) ignored and so can be any number you like.
Unfortunately, on my TyTN II it doesn't work.
My wife and myself have the same home phone number. I added "p1" to my home number and "p2" to my wife's.
But when I call my wife at home, it still shows my contact while dialing!
I also softreset the TyTN II, but it didn't work.
That's sad, and it means it's HTC which cannot handle "p1" and "p2".
Patrick
Workaround works for me

Did you add the p1 or p2 etc at the end of the number? I tried this on mine and it worked perfectly. Yes the HTC software has its bugs but this seems to be a good workaround as long as your network copes with the p1 etc. If it's dialling out ok then that's a very good sign. Perhaps your ROM may have different abilities but my standard setup copes with the rjcb23 workaround perfectly - just a shame I have no need to use it!
I managed to find another trick.
I replaced p1 and p2 into #1 and #2
A big thank you to rjcb23 for giving the hint for adding p1 and p2!
