hi, duz anyone know how to 'hack' that robotic voice to make it more human sounding? im used to the nice gps voices :)

btw can someone link me to the SMALLEST/lightest bluetooth headpiece?? i got one of the older motorola h500 i think and the thing is HUGE heavy! :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] boomerangfarm:
It's very encouraging that you're working with a Touch when you can. Thanks again for all the useful information.

I think our view on headsets are not as opposing as it appears. I said "best" for the Z9. They are not there yet but this set has operated better for me than a couple of Motorolas and a Jabra.

Mark, send a note to Blueant about engaging the noise isolation on startup. They seem somewhat responsive and the headsets are firmware updatable.

Since I post last I have been more aware of the hand-on-face move I use. I actually cup my hand longways a bit. Do it without a headset and you'll hear how much it reflects your voice. My recognition continues to be quite good.

EddieG - I'm having the exact same problem. It was working correctly when I first installed version 1.6.19209 and now it does what you have described. I did not try the reinstall (too much of a pain), but I'm wondering what ROM you are using? I'm using Leo's L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 build. If you figure this out, please let us know!

yess where is the cab for 19213 ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Hi Dan -- My last correspondence with Blueant was the end of May and nothing since. I just send them a nice what's up type email to see if they have considered my suggestion, so we'll see what happens.

Sure makes sense to me that if they can make it easier for your caller to hear you better, they can make it easier for the phone itself to hear you better -- just turn noise isolation ON when you click the MFB button to engage the headset. Am I missing something more obvious?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ahwaztaxi:

Does MSVC 1.6 work with TT6

Please help. I had MSCV 1.6 working fine, had to do a hard reset because of unrelated problem. I am not able to reinstall it, im not sure why :confused:.

So you did a hard-reset and then what?

MSVC 1.6

I'm attempting to install MSVC 1.6 I obtained it from the link mentioned. I thought I had another version saved on a disk. It looked like a .pdt file. As I mentioned It was installed previously. I'm not getting any error messages, it just doesn't appeare to be installing corectly. No icon in the programs directory to click.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
Sorry 1.6 is not informative enough. If you read the thread you will see that 1.6 has many versions.

In addition, there are no current links provided to download any full version of MSVC, so I still don't know where you got it.

Also, MSVC never installs an icon in the programs directory, it installs an icon under Settings, so that might be a problem there.

Also in my 15+ years in IT, the only .pdt files I am aware of are created by InkWriter, and should have no relevance at all to MSVC.

I'd like to help, but all this info is either incomplete or inaccurate.

I would strongly suggest reading throught the first few posts of the guide again and trying to install from scratch. If you are still having problems, you will have to try and be more descriptive of you process and the exact issues you are experiencing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] crazyC:
I recently upgraded from the original O2 Rom to the new O2 wm6.1 rom.

Previously i used your recommended 209 cab,and it installed no problem and worked out of the box with th bluetooth visor speaker that I use in my car.

Now however I have an odd problem. Everything works EXCEPT that when an incoming call comes in, I cannot answer it by verbal instruction. (Either via the bluetooth or the phone).

I can activate MSVC from the bluetooth and phone, and it responds to verbal commands then -it just doesn't seem to activate when an incoming call comes in.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

I have uninstalled Phone Alarm and S2 unlock as I was not using them before, but it makes no difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
As far as I know, MSVC does not have the ability to answer via verbal instruction. Never has.

When an incoming call comes in it will announce the caller (assuming you have announcement turned on). However, to actually pick up the call you must press the button on your headset or phone.

I think you are either remembering incorrectly, or were maybe using some other product.

Perhaps it is a feature of your bluetooth headset, but not MSVC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] crazyC:
I always assumed it was MSVC! That would explain it tho - I only started using MSVC when I got the Supertooth Voice, and had not really used bluetooth etc before that. (Yes the SV kit does have verbal instruction ability, but I thought I was overriding it with MSVC)

Hmm, I shall have to have another play now that I am looking in this new direction.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Hi bengalih - this spurred (a rare) thought (please don't discourage me)... :eek: I am not adverse to purchasing a retail copy of MSVC and then flash my Tilt with a ROM that doesn't include MSVC. If I do this, does Microsoft provide its customers with an easy way to obtain the very latest builds if I want them? It might be worthwhile to me if that is the case, otherwise I'd use a ROM that includes it.

Using an ATT ROM for my Tilt, I would click the right softkey for Contacts, select a contact and open it. Select the Name field, click the down-arrow (that opens a menu), choose the Nickname field and enter the text there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
Microsoft doesn't make available the newest versions (the ones that seem to work on the new ROMS) through any valid consumer or retail channels.

The only way to get the newer versions are to locate and download copy that someone has ripped from one of the newer ROMS, or as you say use a ROM with it built-in.

Any of these solutions leaves you in a legally "grey" area as really even the ROMS are not "official" and meant for you to use.

That being said, if you have purchased a copy of MSVC 1.6 (any version) you should be able to sleep soundly at night if you do use one of these unoffical ROMs or separately available versions.

I have not heard any news from MS or other sources that a future version of MSVC will be made available. My educated guess is that they will probalby incorporate it in WM 7 and it won't need to be purchased separately.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Well, based upon my uncontrollable need to have the latest builds, it would probably suit me best to flash my Tilt with a ROM that does NOT have MSVC in it. This way, by installing a copy afterwards, I wouldn't have to worry about having multiple copies on my phone when upgrading builds, or dealing with potential overwriting file problems. Make sense?

Update on my Tilt issues... Totally Hands Free

Hi again.

Just wanted to let you know, that with a new headset (Jabra BT8040), and version 1.6.19209 all is working well, even incoming call announcements over the headset .

Though I did find a couple of wrinkles. If the Jabra is set for both Wireless Stereo and Hands Free, or the phone is set to Vibrate only, then the incoming calls are not announced.

Thanks again for the great thread.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] rxb216:
almost working???

bengalih,

I installed v1.6.19209 from the link you provided earlier and did the manual install. My device is the HTC Vogue (Sprint Touch). I used your .reg file, and properly made sure the right files went into the program files directory and windows directory.

I dont use bluetooth so that's not important for me. When I run MSVC the speaker icon pops up, and I can talk to the phone. It does dial out, however...

Right now incoming call notifications and out going call confirmations do not work. All I hear is a clean-static sound. I know that normally I am supposed to hear a voice, but all I hear is clean static. So I think a wav file is playing, but it sounds like a blank audio tape.

Of course all my settings are correct under the "voice command" settings

Any ideas? I've been looking around like mad to fix this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
It sounds like you downloaded the "Manual" install method. I would highly recommend locating a normal CAB install from alternative sources and installing it via CAB rather than copying files manually.

Do MSVC, BlackBerry Connect and WM 6.1 Play Nice Together?

Do MSVC and Blackberry Connect and WM 6.1 play nice together? Every time I load BB Connect to a Tilt with a 6.1 Rom with MSVC already installed, MSVC crashes. Also, if I have BB Connect already installed and then load MSVC, MSVC still crashes (this is all happening under wm 6.1). I have no problems with WM 6.0.

Has anyone gotten all three to work fine together? :-)

Hi,

I have a custom ROM(DHarvey) with MSVC built in v1.6.19213 and I am using the BT S9 headset.Here is my problem:

I have a Sprint Touch phone. If I activate MSVC via the button on the phone The volume level is very good and I get my replies(time,date,battery leve,l etc.) in both ears. If I activate via the S9 the volume is very low and only in one ear.I can barley hear the voice.Once I am connected (either music via Windows Media or my phone calls) the volume is excellent using either method.

Any way to fix the volume level when I activate via the S9 headse

Enable/Disable Bluetooth?

With California just having passed the interesting law that one cannot talk on the phone while driving, but one CAN text while they drive, I find myself in need of functionality where I can turn Bluetooth On and Off by MSVC.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Certainly "turn bluetooth on" does not work :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
Find and download the bluetooth toggle application. Name it soemthing user friendly and put it in your start menu.

you can then start it by saying

"Start Bluetooth Toggle"

each time you run it , it will toggle BT on and off.

Please realize however that if you are using MSVC via a BT headset, as soon as you toggle BT off you will lose your connection.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
I haven't really had the chance to play with it much, but the phone heard me a little easier while next to the TV, so environmental noise is less of a problem; at the same time, I've noticed a (very) little background noise generated by the headset.

IMO, they have a ways to go. I've been bugging them that they should enable noise isolation when you press the MFB to turn the headset on. There should be no distinction between making it easier for those you're speaking with and enabling the phone itself to hear you better...

As for the Touch issue, that I don't have firsthand knowledge of (I use a Tilt).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
If bluetooth is off, how will the phone hear you say "Start Bluetooth Toggle"? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bengalih:
Firstly, the user doesn't state that he is using MSVC via a headset or not.

Secondly, this is what I say in the last sentence (that you quote me on).... That this will only work one way.

If bluetooth is on, then toggling it off will kill the connection. If it is off in the first place, then I think it is apparent that it wouldn't work through the headset in the first place.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Hey, don't firstly and secondly me! I just found out that I'm supposedly to read all the text! :D Sorry 'bout that, bengalih.

ROM: HTC (Australia) Official WM6.1 - 3.29.710.1 WWE

MSVC Version: v1.6.19209

Bluetooth: Pioneer DEH-P9850BT and BlueAnt X5

Note: I also have JETware installed (if it matters) to make the TyTN II work with the Pioneer CD Player.

I seem to be experiencing an issue similar to these other two posters in regards to volume when paired with my Pioneer CD player's bluetooth feature.

When using MSVC on its own not paired to a bluetooth device, the confirmations come through the phone's speaker nice and loud. If I pair the X5 stereo headset as hands free and press the button on it, confirmations are also loud and clear through the X5.

However when I press the voice dial button in the car, the car's microphone picks up my voice fine and the confirmations come through the car speakers, but they are BARELY audible. If I had the engine running or was on a busy street you wouldn't even hear them at all. Increasing the volume in the car doesn't do a thing. Incoming call announcements on the other hand work fine and are loud and clear.

Any ideas what it could be? I have adjusted the Attenuation Category to 1 which improved the volume of the incoming announcements but made no difference to the volume of the confirmations and have the InitVol at 5

p.s. thanks a million for this comprehensive guide to get it working. :) before this i could not even get confirmations to come through the speakers at all so this is actually a step forward lol.

Everything works but sound

Rom 3.35.651.2 MSVC 1.6.19213 Raytel 5000 vi car kit. Sprint Mogual

I installed and reset and got a good installation. All seems to work as far as I have tested except I hear no voice commands. When activated I get a short tone and silence. If I give the proper command and with the conformation unchecked it will work as expected. I have Cyberon voice speed dial on the device as it came from Sprint. I reprogramed the activation button to change from speed dial to Voice Command with no issue. It is as if the audio is still routed somewhere else and needs to be pointed to Voice Command.

I am very new to all of this and appreciate any help. Thank you

I apologize to all who are having various issues. However you will note that this guide is for the Kaiser/Tilt device.

Unfortunately, most of my knowledge is already within the guide and since I don't have any of these other devices it it rather difficult to guess as to what the issue are.

I will say that many of these problems deal with bluetooth issues, and many of those are car kit problems.

I would recommend not relying on MSVC for use with car kits, but rather to purchase a car kit with its own voice command features.

Phone and Headset ringing with Jawbone 2

Hello. Thanks Bengalih for the excellent instructions at the beginning of this [long] thread.

I have a Jawbone 2 and have been trying to figure out how to get the ring tones to come through on both the headset and the phone. After reading through the summary in post 7, I experimented with the "Notifications" setting in the MSVC applet.

I'm not sure if this is unique to the Jawbone, but when I select “Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only” in the applet and MSVC is ENABLED and BT is ENABLED and INCOMING NOTIFICATIONS are ON, then I get the announcement and ring on the phone AND the built-in Jawbone ring in the headset. This sufficiently satisfies my desire for notification in both devices.

I am using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid V2 ROM and radio with whatever MSVC is cooked into that ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] annulation:
This occasionally happens to me, particularly when I go to the "Buttons" settings and don't change the assignment for the PTT button. Going back into the Buttons and changing the assignment for the PTT button to anything else, then back again seems to fix it. I have no idea why this happens, but it appears the VC assignment gets messed up somehow when the Buttons settings screen is visited if the setting for the PTT button is not explicitly set each time.

eh benghali i can comfirm that using the The file voicecommandreplacementfiles.zip that is circulating is simply a set of 4 files from version 1.6.17913 works when u replace the 1.60.422 files. Worked like a charm...while it didnt change my MSVC version to the .17913 version, it did make the incoming call announcements work. I was praying that i didnt have to do the second registry install thing if the first hack wth the .17913 version didnt work, but it worked right after i replaced the files and did a soft reset and all the other insructions. Thanks alot man...the only reason i got MSVC was for the incoming calls notifications, i dont use the MSVC for actual voice dialing and app commanding because i think cyberon does much better at it and its very simple to tag and train your own voice for commanding my contacts list and applications on my PTT button so i have both applications installed, each app doing what i need it to do. It takes more then several tries for me to get MSVC to do open an app when i try it and most of the time it doesnt even open the right app..like all say live search and the regular search app will appear. While as cyberon is trained to my own voice and knows exacty what app to open and contact..but i dunno maybe i should play with it somemore.

Anywayz.....best regards and good **** on figuring this notification problem out Benghali. thanks.

Hi

This is a great thread. Well done.

I've had a skim read, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Plus I haven't tested VC on my phone (Omnia) as it's in the shop getting a firmware upgrade.

MS Mobile Team Blog posted an article a while back explaining why VC does not work all the best with BT headsets. Has this been fixed?

Read the whole thing here Windows Mobile Team Blog

I was wondering if anyone has found a registry hack to reduce the sample to 8kHz - if this would make BT headsets operate better on WM6.1.
