Kavi and others:

Wanted to let you know that I finally went ahead and installed the 4 files you provided, and that "Announce Callers" now works. :)

Now when I receive a call from an unblocked telephone number, their name & location is announced as well as the ringtone played that's assigned in their Contact Record.

Oddly enough, if the caller has their caller ID blocked, their telephone number is still announced, but their name/location is NOT given (even though they are included in my Contact Record list. Also, only the phone's default ring tone is played, and not the ring tone assigned to them in their Contact Record. Seems strange. Is this normal?

This said, I realize you can temporarily unblock your caller ID from a regular landline phone by pressing *82 before making a call, but how do you unblock your caller ID from your cell phone? Can this be done on the phone itself? I have both an AT&T Tilt and 2 Samsung Syncs.

Thanks,

Jazz

Mystery finally SOLVED !

Good NEWS!

I'm thrilled to report that I finally figured out why people on my Contact list with specially assigned ringtones are only being announced by MS Voice Command's 'synthesized voice' with only the telephone number & my phone's 'default' ringtone:

After a bit a trial and error, and looking at those contacts more carefully, I figured out that, because these contacts live in my local area and have the same area code as myselfl, I did NOT include the area code in their stored telephone numbers. As many of you know, it's not currently required to enter the area code when making local (in the same area code as your phone) calls, but Microsoft Voice Command, looks for the entire telelphone number (including area code) to match up with in your Contacts, when it receives an incoming call. If it can't find the complete 10 digit phone number in one of your contacts, it assumes it's not from one of your contacts, and merely announces the 10 digit telephone number and does not announce a name, and also simply plays the phone's default ringtone.

I've now gone back and added the area code to all my contacts, and now Microsoft Voice Command announces their name and plays the ringtone I assigned to each of them specifically.

On another note: only after I added the 4 updated MS Voice Command files (outlined above), my version of MS Voice Command has been updated & now displays as version: 1.6.17913.

I hope my trial & error discovery will be help to others out there who own Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and want to get "Call Announcing" working.

Thanks again to Kavi for providing those important update files.

All the best,

Jazz :cool:

MS VC BT

I have installed MCVC and have it announcing calls over my BT headset but I can not answer the calls from the BT Headset. I have to answer the call from the phone itself. Anyone else have this problem. I used to be able to push my answer button on the BT Heaset and it would answer the call.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rsolomon:
You'll need to tell us the make/model of BT headset. MSVC + Kaiser BT stack = a lot of model-specific issues. E.g. my Jabra BT500 works great, my Parrot CK-3100 is unusable, while both worked great with MSVC on Hermes.

MCVC Over BT

Hi,

I'm using this on a Tilt with the stock SW and ROM. The BT headset is a Nokia BH-800. If I deactivate the "announce incoming calls" I can answer calls with my BT headset with no issues. When I activate it, the BT Headset will not connect to an incoming call unless I hit the phone button on the actual phone itself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rsolomon:
Are you using the retail version or the "patched" announcements-fixed version? Might try the other version either way I suppose.

Hi,

I'm using the "patched" version. I do get the call announcement over my BT headset, I just can not answer the call from the headset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rsolomon:
FWIW I just tried this on my Jabra and it works - same setup as you otherwise :( MS/HTC really seem to have hosed up this combination (VC1.6 + Tilt/Kaiser) somehow.

A Problem with: "Announce Incoming Caller" Feature

Ok folks,

I just discovered a glitch with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6's: Announce Incoming Caller feature.

I recently added the 4 files (links provided by Kavi earlier in this thread) to get 1.6's Announce Calling feature to work. The Announce Incoming Caller feature now works, but there's one hitch:

When I now receive a call from a person on my contact list that has a PRIVATE (blocked number), the ring tone often merely attempts to begin playing but then stops abruptly (no sound), and The Microsoft synthesized voice doesn't say anything either because there's no caller identification provided because it's a blocked number. Thus, calls from blocked (private) numbers will more than likely be missed unless you're staring at the phone's screen to see the incoming call window pop up merely displaying (and with no sound) that a call is coming in from a private number.

I then had my friend call back and temporarily unblock his number by first dialing *82. This time Microsoft Voice Command verbally announced both my friend's name & location (at home), while his pre-assigned (In Contacts) Ring tone played in the background, and the phone screen displayed both his pic & his name on the pop up screen.

I then had my friend call me back a 3rd time, and had him leave his number blocked this time. This time Microsoft Voice Command verbally annouced my friend's name & location (at home) again, but the phone's default ringtone played (but not the one I assigned him in his Contact Record), and the pop up window merely displayed this as a call from an unknown (private) number.

Incoming calls from people with blocked (private) numbers is yielding mixed results. Sometimes the default ring tone will play, other times, the ring tone will start to play but then stop, and other times, no ring tone is heard at all, with the only evidence that I'm receiving a call is the pop up box which appears on the screen saying call from unknown (private) caller.

Has anyone else who's got Microsoft Voice Command 1.6's "Announce Incoming Caller" feature up and running experiencing this too? If you don't know yet, I urge you have a friend who's got caller ID blocked to call you and report back your findings.

Feedback & assistance from others who have the "Announce Incoming Caller" feature working with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I just want to get clarification to this thread's starting post.

You say you have a 'TyTnII' and you can not initiate a call via voice command?

TyTnII's are supplied with voice speed dialler!!

Please specify the actual unit you are using as I believe it is more probably a 'Tilt' or some other carrier hobbled 'Kaiser'.

A TyTnII is the stock version from HTC.

My question is not about BT at all.

Instead I would like to inquire if anyone has got VC to work with another media app other than WMP. Would love to get this to work with HTC Audio Manager, then I can truely phase out WMP (obviously leaving it installed so phone can play mp3/wma ringtones). Was hoping that it could be a reg setting but no luck. Noticed in an earlier post a WMP.dll file, take it this is what VC uses to interact with WMP.

Any dll coders about......?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rwcozens:
I use MSVC 1.6 for incomming calls announcements using the 4 files provided. This works great except for private calls. I therefore have not allocated ringtones to any of my contacts and only use the incomming call feature. In my sound settings I have setup the vibrate feature so when a non-private caller calls the phone vibrates and then announces the caller by name and place. When a private caller phones the phone merely vibrates.

This way I dont miss any calls unless the phone is not with me. Would be great if MS could update 1.6 to correct this feature of private calls as it is obviously a global concern

TyTNII (kaiser, vodafone v1615, Tmobile Vario III, call it whatever) do indeed come with voicedialer... but it's crap! you have to train it and it doesnt always work properly.

Ms Voice commander is way better and provided much better functionality.

only thing is, it's abit hard to get it to work with handsfree.

Hi

Does this fix for Voice Command 1.6 under WM6 work for the Xda Orbit (HTC Artemis - P3300 based)?

Voice command 1.6

It's been my experience that all versions of VM 1.6 are not equal. The original 1.6 I had would not announce. I downloaded the added files and followed the steps listed elsewhere on this forum and never had any luck.

I had a problem some time after and had to do a hard reset. When I loaded everything again I used the same VC 1.6 installer I had and it worked for everything except the announce.

I then saw someone on here had a newer build of the 1.6 installer. In fact it was a CAB. I grabbed that, uninstalled my copy of the 1.6, installed this newer build of 1.6 and Bob's your uncle it works perfect now.

I looked around and I could not find anything on the microsoft website that offered customers newer builds of VC 1.6. I have no idea where the member found this install. But it fixed my problem without any other special files or tweaks.

Voice Command 1.6 on XV6800

Here is what I had to do to get it to work.

Installed the 1.6 version from Handango. Hacked the registry per post #2 on this thread. That got it to work with my BT Jabra BT800 but would not send audio to headset. Then installed newer version of VC then what Handango gives out. Search this forum for the link to the post to get the update. That fixed the audio going to the BT headset but still didn't get the announcements to work. Then I copied the files from the zip voicecommandreplacementfiles.zip, again somewhere in this forum. Did a soft reset and now it all works. This will be sweet while driving to hear who the email is from.

Thanks for all the forum posters in here.

Voice Command conflict with TyTnII oem Voice Command?

I do hope someone can shed some light om my questions, as silly as they might sound.

My Kaiser/TyTn II which I absolutely think is an awesome phone...came with a voice command program from HTC. Does anyone know what program it is? It works fine with my Motorola H700 bluetooth earpiece too by the way as well as launcing programs, dialing contacts etc...

I went and bought Voice Command 1.5 thinking I would have more options for using voice then the preinstalled voice command from HTC...is that true?

I installed VC 1.5 and could not get it to work. I had the voice button assinged properly but kept getting an error " voice command had a problem try agian" or something along those lines. Also after unistalling VC 1.5 my original voice program did not work unless performed a hard reset.

If there is something I was doing wrong or is it even worth installing VC 1.5 and is it better than what came with my HTC Kaiser/TyTnII ?

I dont know what I dont know so Im reaching out for some advice here...

Hi,

i improved voice recognition vc 1.6(French edition), via my bt earphone

i have an HTC TYTN II(E.U. stock, unsimlocked by design, not the tilt/cingular):

my steps:

i installed the HTC BT fix (released around the 19/20th of december)

i installed btIO-0.6-wm5.cab,

i press on my user-defined hardware button to launch vc,

when i want vc to function from my logitech bt earphone:

i do a long tip on today's BTio icon(like a right click), appears a menu, i select

"Audio2BT".

Now i press on my logitech "volume up" button, i can ear the vc "beboop"

plus:

i was desapointed by the voice recognition success and i found the V.C.1.6 volume voice too weak:

i used a trick found

http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum...icial-Intelligence-Voice-Command-Application/

i set HKEY_Current_User>Control Panel>SoundCatagories>Voice Command1 Change Attenuation Catergory= Value from 3 (0 in the thread just above) to 1

And (same key) "InitVol" from 5 to 15

i find, now that the recognition success seems better

and the VC1.6 voice more audible.

perhaps better values would do the trick !

up to you to test and feedback

PS/ Dont forget to backup your Kaiser registry first!

Kevi...so are we supposed to make the registry changes per the earlier link? I have done what you list above (minus the registry changes), and it does not announce calls either on headset or speaker.

[Edit]

Well, I have learned a few thihgs, and have it going

1. You DO need to do the registry edits. That one later post quoted above made me think maybe they weren't necessary.

2. When you say CAll <whomever>, you need to confirm it when they suggest back..although occasionally you don't need to. Confirmation makes it work consistent ;-)

3. For the voice announcements to work you also have to go into Settings, Voice Command, select PHone, and options, and turn that option on.

Ok, I feel like I must be an idiot, but for the life of me I cannot get VC to work on my Tilt.

I had it working on my 8525 with a patched cab I found that worked right off the bat.

I'm using Alex's latest superclean AT&T ROM with a BlueAnt Z9, and I've tried a few different VC Install files. Most recently I installed MSVoiceCommand_1.6.17913.cab I didn't touch anything with the BT Voice Command Config utility it comes with.

However, I did modify the registry for HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand

I set the "Path" variable to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe

and I created a "(Default)" key based on the screenshots in one of the earlier posts http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1548225&postcount=15

Via Settings->Buttons I assigned Button 6 to "Voice Command"

I've also soft reset after changes, and re-paired the headset....

If I just push Button 6 (PTT) it works just fine, but for the life of me I can't get the headset to initiate it. Is there something I'm missing with everything I've done? Another way to re-assign buttons via the registry? Do I need to do something with the BT Voice Command Config app?
