Hello,

With the new update, all testers are desired. We've changed how Speechy works almost entirely as for functionality to try and make it, without sounding too rude, idiot proof.

I will notify you once the file is encrypted and ready for export.

Thank you,

Lance

BETA Requests ENDING!

I would like to thank EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, you've all been great and have made this very exciting for us.

However, we've gotten an outrageous amount of requests which will be ending, tonight. We will not be allowing anyone else as of 11/23/11 - 9:45 PM PDT. Very sorry but as we didn't want to turn anyone down, we got mass amounts of requests!

Q: Will you have any other BETA's?

A: Yes! We're actually fixing it up for the 3rd BETA release but making this public, just like this as it seems to be AMAZING people wishing to try our stuff.

Q: ... But will it be Voice Enabled?

A: Actually, it is... The App is named TESA (The Extremely Smart App) and it is our take on the ever so popular iPhone 4GS Plugin, Siri.

Q: Is it just like Siri?

A: No. TESA is programmed with a hundred+ (or will be) options/functionality and really to be used to help those who are blind or bad vision and additionally for general use of course.

Q: Hundred options? Doesn't sound like much!

A: It is quite a bit but that's ok as we're making this a public TODO List where you the users get to help add functionality in to an App. With a simple form, submit a desired task OR word/phrase/etc and could be added and in some cases (if verified) instantly!

As for TESA, we'll need a valid Full Name, Zipcode and Email but not everyone will be elected to try it unfortunately and please wait until the thread for it is created before requesting to help.

Thank you all yet again!

Sincerely,

Lance

Quick question: it will be a free/ad-based app, or paid?

For promoting (so aggressively) commercial app you should pick another forum, AFAIK...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
It will be free. If you wish to have the entirely other edition with OCR translations included (not shown), that will be paid. TESA will be free as well, maybe a popup but doesn't seem logical since really no UI for it and can use Bluetooth to use it.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
I forgot to ask... Which forum should I be directed to for my commercial apps?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
For the paid apps, xda has a corresponding forum: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=993
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Very good, I will start adding them in once we develop one/release.

Thank you.

Deep Link Download Option

Hello,

If you've been added to the BETA but can't access the file? Please open your web browser to: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/1b8d1380-45f9-41ab-bdba-5c1ed248f507.

This is the "deep link" to the App and will allow you to go forth and obtain it. If your email does not match your LIVE Account, you will be forbidden from being able to obtain it.

If you continue to have access issues, please alert me.

Thank you,

Lance
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] NeilM:
Thanks for the deep link. Speechy still does not appear for me in the UK Marketplace.

Now installed and working.

There are a few small issues

1) Only 3 languages available. Choosing others prompts that I need Speechy Pro

2) Even over WiFi the recognition time is slow- 5-8 seconds. I suspect this is beyond your control but it can seem a long pause when waiting with someone for a response!

3) The volume of the spoken repsonse is very low. My HTC Titan is a loud device, but even with the volume at 20 out of 30 it is hard to hear the response, even in a quiet room

4) Typo: In the language list you have 'Sweedish' which should be 'Swedish'

Works well overall, but I need to try the voice recognition in a noisier environment. At the moment I'm getting about 60% accurancy but repeating my phrase usually gets it right, so probably my accent and technique!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Hi,

Thank you for the response, it should give you the option to upgrade shortly. The 2nd .9B was a test for an Ad/Pay as you go. The third .9B was released tonight, unsure how long until it appears.

It may also cure the audio issue, or I hope. As for the audio loudness, we've gone from Stereo now to Mono and if it doesn't improve we may offer an option to forcefully control the audio (upon acceptance).

Once you have the new beta, please let me know if these issues resolved and currently for actual voice were using Bing Translator. The time consuming issue may be if you record longer than 8-10secs, did you try and do translations longer? Additionally all audio recorded is transcribed via Cloud Speech Server and rendered and then spit back to the client and that's why we recommend less than 8 seconds.

Do you happen to have a thick accent? Also does it understand your speech properly if at all?

Thank you,

Lance
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] NeilM:
Thanks- all my tests have been short phrases (What time is is, Where is the airport etc)

Practice has made it a lot better- I've never used the speech engine before. Overall recognition using the VTT function is pretty good.

I'll report back when the new Beta is up.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Hi,

Thank you for results you've encountered as this helps us tremendously. Glad to hear the recognition of your voice appears to be good.

Microsoft is still pending on the new update but it is Certified by VeriSign, so that's good news.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] at45:
Erm, Should I point out that Polyglot already translates via speech and reads the translated text out loud? It has good language support and it's only 99p.

I think I'll also mention that the Bing search interface can translate via OCR for free.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] scoobysnacks:
Canadian here..

Market link won't work for me, it lets me go through the whole thing then says "can't get app, there was a problem"
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Thank you for your response, I am well aware of that App and Bing as I am sure anyone who came across this thread probably looked to see if something similar existed (so they could compare if they should waste their time or not).

I've know a few people who've had issues with Polyglot for WP7, haven't used it prior to Mango personally, so not sure what the success previously with it was. Also both translation methods are completely different. Usually the current way everyone seems to be offering this type of service is to record audio as a file and send it to Bing as a file to have it processed and if successful capture the Bing audio file for playback.

Ours captures the audio in a mono format with a specific audio level/settings (octane, pitch and balance (just in case stereo headset may be used and will balance L/R Channels) and sends it to a cloud server with a speech engine and breaks it down. Once broken down in the several seconds/bytes/pieces it is then taken and sent to Bing based on actual letters that make sense and usually pretty percise wording.

In turn makes the translated audio to audio language output make more sense (e.g. You say "This is a test"; Traditional conversions may pick it up as "This is a pest" or "This is a past") especially if you have an accent, lisp or don't talk loud enough and exactly why when we run it via a speech server as it runs through several routines to try and make what you say make as much sense as possible and if it's truly unknown it tries to auto-correct as close as it can to what you mean't to say (Which may take a slight bit more time).

The two App's are entirely different when it comes to really everything. At this time I am not offering text-conversion, maybe later on but not trying to make that type of App unless for whatever reason gets requested and not looking to try and allow the conversion to be saved or send to a friend, just a Speak and Convert to Output (language) as I am looking for idiot proof. Sure same functionality as for voice to voice but look at the 20 something "Flashlight" App's that exist or "Bubble Pop", and even "Tetris/Blocks". Just like those, each one is different/offers something (from colors to UI to whatever) but all in all just different way of doing what already exists.

As for the Bing search option, have you used it? You have actual success with it? You'd be one of the few to say it was decent as I can't sometimes get it to recognize Barcodes let alone wording on a Newspaper. Never the less, WP7 comes with a pre-built Facebook and Twitter App but not many opt-in to using it as the client App's would cease to exist in the Marketplace.

In the end, if someone wishes to use our App, they will. I can't be too worried about it as if I was, probably nothing I ever make would get done lol and that would include probably Polyglot as Bing existed before them. Nevertheless, I appreciate your input.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Correct. It is a private beta, without your Live ID listed as a participant you wouldn't be able to obtain it.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] scoobysnacks:
ohhh kk makes sense haha

If you need anyone else let me know
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Absolutely. You may wish to privately message your ID as I wouldn't want others to know it, or rather spambots (never can be too careful).

Also, a new deeplink is being rendered but I will add your email to it and you'll be able to download it without a hitch :).

Thank you,

Lance
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:

Please upgrade...

Thank you!

Note: Remove old install prior to new install.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] scoobysnacks:
accuracy is really good..

Gripes I have are that the output is very low, even at max volume..

Also you can't change languages on the fly.

If you want to change languages you have to rerecord what you want translated.

Good work though, very handy app
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
Hello,

Thank you for your input, I do appreciate it. We're now using XDA to output audio and have overwritten audio control on the device as well as balanced the audio output in the latest beta... It should be noticeably better sounding, once you get the latest update if you could let me know the results on the audio situation that would be extremely useful!

Also, I made a note to allow a re-translate option so you don't have to re-record (At first we thought of course and then we figured maybe not needed if they are in a country that only speaks French, they wouldn't need Japanese translation.) but not the current but the next update will have this feature (we'll create the icon and function for it).

Thank you again,

Lance

I had dell streak b4 and after cracking a screen from just being in my pocket; due to board/screen flexing, i will go for extra girth for safety.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randomtask16:
I have the Impact silicon one and can't stand it. It's a constant battle getting it out of my pocket because its so grippy. Also easily gets little particles of dirt underneath and is already scratching up from it moving around with the dirt in it.

Would be nice if they would release the commuter series. That what I wanted, but got the impact because it was the only thing available on release day.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramses70:
If I boot into recovery all functions doesn't work anymore. Reboot, backup ... nothing. I have to pull the battery to restart my desire. The strange thing is that it worked excellent for a couple of month. I tried ext4 and clockworkmod but the same happened for both.

In ext4 usaually all file systems like boot, root, sdext will shown but now only the ext4 fs on sdcard and fat fs on sdacrd will shown.

Does anybody have an idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booce:
Reflash a recovery of your choice with Android Flasher.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramses70:
I flashed ext4 with 4ext recovery updater and clockworkmod over rom manager. I didn't flash it with android flasher but I guess it's no important how the recovery has been flashed. In both ccases the recovery has been installed successfully but if I boot into it and try to choose any option nothing happened. The strange thing is that it worked before and due to what ever reason now it's stopped working.

What I am wondering about is that 4ext recovery doesn't show the file systems of the phone anymore what it does before. May the recoveries doesn't have access to the phone filesystem anymore....

Could this be a reason ? and if yes how to solve it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Did you try amon ra or rmd recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramses70:
I tried 4ext and different CWM versions. The last try was with revolutionary CWM. All without success. I don't think it's related to the recoveries itself as 4ext and CWM worked before. Bu I don't have a clue what might have changed on my mobile that it doesn't work anymore.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I think flashing recovery manually or at least using Android flasher it is a lot better than doing it via rom manager or 4ext recovery updater. That's what most people say here anyways. Give it a try.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
Wait, you used ROM Manager? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramses70:
Now I tried some different methods of flashing with some different recoveries.

- I flashed with android flasher as suggested

- direct with adb

- I put a PB99IMG.zip file on the sd card and updated via bootloader

I used following recoveries cwm-4.0.1.4, recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7, recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1

Independend from the flash method the result was always the same.

I got the recovery flashed but after reboot into recovery no menu function of the recovery worked. Even for a simple reboot I had to pull the battery.

So I can only come to the result it's not the method of flashing nor the recovery itself. But of course that will not solve my problem :(

Any further suggestions are highly welcome.

I used the volume button to navigate and the power button to select the menu entry - that was the fault.

With using trackpad everything is fine.

[HTC Sensation] Fata7ity:
I test the adw launcher and launcher pro and they both lag. I have OC daemon max is 1.5ghz. Whats the cause of lagging?
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
please describe the "lag".

What's lagging?
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I have an idea. My experience is that secondary launchers will never be "smooth" because you will forever have primary launcher running in the background.

However there is an app called app quarantine in the market. That allows you to place certain apps and services that you will not be using on a lock until you want to release it. So maybe try placing Htc sense launcher on lock then run Your secondary as default. Or install nonsense script then another launcher

Or you could use Titanium Backup & Freeze Sense :)

Hello everyone. Busy week—here’s what’s going on:

We’re now sending out Windows Phone 7.5 updates to customers with Samsung Focus 1.4 phones on AT&T. We’re also scheduling the update for Samsung Omnia 7 owners on Telefonica in Spain. Expect us to expedite the scheduling process, now that it’s been fully tested.

We’re also sending out another wave of firmware updates from our manufacturers to select Windows Phone models. As I’ve mentioned before, these updates improve the overall function of your particular make and model of Windows Phone. You’ll see these firmware updates from time to time; they’re easy to recognize because the update information in the Zune software shows your device name. If you get one, I encourage you to install it.

Finally, we’re always paying close attention to your feedback on Windows Phone 7.5—especially when it comes to bug reports. In that spirit, customers of Vodafone, Orange, and Deutsche Telekom in Europe will start seeing notifications for a new Windows Phone service release called 7740 that fixes an issue with new voice mail notifications not appearing for customers on some European and Asian networks under certain conditions. It also fixes an email issue associated with Exchange Server 2003. This service release is being assessed by other mobile operators. You can learn more about it here.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chirality:
Over at the Galaxy Nexus forums people are concerned that since the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus seems to come with the My Verizon Wireless app preinstalled in the /system partition, this means Verizon will provide updates to the device, not Google directly. Then somebody mentioned that his/her T-Mobile Nexus S comes with My T-Mobile app preinstalled in the /system partition too. Is there any truth to this? It would be good news for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus if in the past Google had included carrier-specific apps in /system and was still able to provide direct updates to that device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
I don't know about the T-Mobile one but my at&t version has no carrier brand stuff in it stock...I did download the myat&t app but it is not apart of the system.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkiefresh:
No preinstalled T-Mobile apps on my i9020T. Someone probably downloaded it after.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
I don't think this will have any effect on the distribution of updates.

The Vodafone Nexus One had carrier input on the updates (which did delay the updates) but they were distributed through Google still.

I would suspect that Verizon will supply the packages to Google to bundle with the update and they will be distributed as such.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chirality:
The i9020T is the unlocked, generic version right?

Was there a T-Mobile specific version? If I remember correctly T-Mobile never sold it but I think BestBuy sold a T-Mobile subsidized version?

The subsidized and unsubsidized were identical - it was literally the same device. No bloat on it at all.

Hi guys

I got a htc desire rooted and s-off running CyanogenMod7.

I love the rom its just fairly often an app will force close and some times alot of app's will force close including the launcher and i have to reboot the the phone. The only thing that sort of helps it is if i go to rom manager and fix premissions but it is not a permanent fix.

Is their anything that can be done that is a permanent fix for this force closing?
