6233 voice activated dialling feature. TERRIBLE!!!

For the last 30 mins I have been trying to find a way of recording my own voice tags for voice activated-calling on my 6233. What a waste of time. I think it is ridiculous that Nokia has not included this feature and according to the previous posts they are not going to put it into an firmware updates. I still have my Nokia 6230i which I think I will start using again. There are things I like about the 6233 but there are to many glitches, also the font for the time whilst in stand-by mode not only looks terrible but is hard to read. What are the people at Nokia thinking? They have put a load of junk on to the 6233 and not put the useful stuff that was on the 6230i on it. I've used Nokias for 8 years and I am now seriously considering getting a Sony Ericsson next time I can get an upgrade. WISE UP NOKIA!!

The new voice recognition that appears in almost all of Nokia's latest products does have built-in training, called adaptation, which means over time and with use the accuracy should increase.
The trouble with speaker independent voice recognition is that for some people, the accuracy is good enough from the outset, but for others it is not. This is why adaptation is included in the Nokia version to help improve the accuracy - but it is hidden from the menus.
You can test this adaptation by using the voice dialler and if it gets the name or command correct, select that name or command. This tells the voice recognition to adapt to your voice. If you don't select, then it won't adapt.
If this is repeated for several names or commands, then the accuracy should start to improve.
Another problem is that sometimes people have strange names in the phonebook that can sometimes spoof the voice recognition - it is worth listening to any strange phonebook names using the "playback voice tag" just to make sure.

that's alot to do especially when you don't have lots of time on your hands. its kind of ridiculous IMO. if it wasn't like that then names wouldn't make a difference whether its french or spanish or transfered from your sim, that's the names that confuses the voice dialler and causes it to come back empty, with the wrong name or a list of names. a headache while driving.
everything happens for a reason

6233 voice activated dialling

A 6233 user should be able to record their own voice tags on their phone.

Is voice activated dialling possible from a cark 9...

Apologies if this is really a dumb question.
Having used a Nokia bluetooth headset for years with my Nokia 6310i, and using voice activated dialling from the headset, I've finally had a cark 91 car kit installed in my car. Can I use voice activated dialling? I have them set up on phone but can't work out how to use them when the phone is in the cark 91 cradle. With the headset you had to push the button and speak after the tone, hence confusion now I haven't the headset and a button to push.
Thanks, Sue4089

I tried both methods and, actually both were really easy to do . When I added the DV-AVI file to the timeline and used the Motion properties to scale to 133% (constrained--so both height and width were enlarged), I lost the text I had in the title slide. Then I checked the photos--heads were cut off and on captions under the photos, the last line was missing. (I had enlarged the canvas in PSE and added text.) I tried reducing the scaling to about 80% which would maintain the captions, which may work--though I have black bars, but I sure had black bars in widescreen too--especially on the vertical photos.
My test may not be accurate since I don't have a 4:3 TV set any more. I tried the Sidebar setting on my widescreen TV. It may work better on a 4:3 set--I'll try that on someone else's set tomorrow. I had also put text on some photos and each line on the right side was cut off too. Without thinking I tried to edit it and move it--of course I couldn't because it was "fixed" in the avi file.That's the reason I had asked about editing the prel so I could start the 4:3 project and use everything I had already done in the 16:9 project and everything would still be editable. The draw back on scaling with that method is I have to do each photo individually unless there is a way to batch scale. Is there?
I am going to have to do more experimenting and viewing on a 4:3 set to decide which way works best for me.
Thank you so much for your suggested solutions

N900 - Voice activated dialling

For a device of this cost and complexity for voice activated dialling to be absent is a shocking omission.
Has anyone writen an app for this?
I for one would pay, if necessary - although to be honest Nokia should be ashamewd of themselves for releasing a 'phone without this function.

I agree this is an issue.
I use a Bluetooth car kit and because of this I cannot use voice dialling.
I do hope Nokia or a dev can solve this issue esp in todays society where it is illegal to use your phone whilst driving.....

6233 Voice activated calls

Hi,
The voice activated function on the 6233 works quite well and recognises most of the names in my phone book. The system behaves inconsistently when a contact has more than one number linked to them.
For contacts with only one telephone number, the system dials their number within a second of me selecting their name entry.
However, for contacts with two or more numbers such as Mobile and Work, I choose the number to dial (after selecting the right contact) and have to wait for 6 seconds for the system to display the "calling...." screen. Is there a short cut? Why is there such a long delay for contacts with multiple phone entries?
I have version 4.91 of the software.
Thanks
David

Actually, the 6233 DOES have voice recognition. The phone will recognise the name you say and find the contact for you without you having to record voice tags. Just press and hold down "Names" and speak after the beep.

Nokia 6301 and BT headset voice activated dialling

Hi
I have just upgraded to a 6301 and have a Jabra BT250V headset. Previously I had a Nokia 6230i and by using the button on the headset I could make the phone give me the "Speak now" prompt to do voice dialing and end the call - all from the headset. With the new phone I can pair it but no control of the phone. Phone guide says press and hold right selection or down volume key to kick of the "Speak now". I'd like to control it from the headset. According to the Jabra website the BT250V is fully compatible with this phone.
Any ideas on settings on the phone to get this to work or a Bluetooth headset that does do this?
Thanks
Mart

There are chances that the headset is not fully compatible with the 6301 phone.
Though its shown on the Jabra website,have they tested it?
Compatibility must have yielded mixed results.
Incompatibility has been confirmed by test or other evidence. Initially, compatibility may have been considered possible.

SBH-80 Voice Activated Dialling?

Hi
Was looking to buy this headset but can find nothing on VAD support. Does anyone know if this headset support's it? If so how do you initiate a call, as it says nothing in the manual.
Thanks.

We apologize for the inconvenience TerrorByte. You may want to call Sony UK Mobile Support instead for immediate assistance. Click here to get their contact number. Thank you!

X3 - 02: Voice activation

Just acquired the X3. Have been used to making a call by use of Bluetooth headset by pressing a button and saying the name of the person I want to call. The old method does not work on this model. Do I have to do something to set up voice activated dialling?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In case anyone thinks of researching this - don't bother.
I have now discovered that this phone does not support voice activated dialling. (Yes - in 2010 this basic Bluetooth function is not provided.) This information has come from a specialist at Nokia , who himself expressed amazement that this is the situation. None of the Sales staff at the shop I bought the phone were aware of this - but they are now, and intend not to push this to other unsuspecting customers.
In short - if you need to use your phone whilst driving, this is not the model for you.

IPhone - voice activation feature.

At Apple retail stores, none of the employees could tell me if voice activation dialing will be a feature of an upcoming iPhone model. Does anyone out there know?

Ahh, the fact of the matter is that most people are replacing their regular cell phone with an iphone. So WHY would this option not be a planned feature? It's more than a 'convienence', it's a down right safety hazzard!
I fully expect a $400 'phone'(or what ever you want to call it) to have this simple 'hands free' safety feature already working. With the added hazzard that this in NOT a tactile phone, you can't feel the buttons to dial, so you HAVE to look at it, WHAM your dead!
Of course the best way is to not call while driving, but really, if my previous $120 Motorola SLVR could do it how much more so should the $400+ iphone?

Hands free voice activation

Can anyone tell me if there is any compatible hands free voice activation software from a bluetooth for an iPhone 3G?

Yacci,
The iPhone itself does not have this feature, but AT&T provides a service for it: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/basics/choosing-features-services/voicedial.js p
This is something you can provide feedback to Apple for, as a feature request: http://www.apple.com/feedback
Hope this helps,

Automobile Voice activation and IOS7

Ever since upgrading to IOS7, my voice activation does not work in my Buick Enclave. Is there a fix for this? Buick says it is an Apple thing.

It is called VoiceOver
See:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Try using three finger to scroll. Also try triple clicking the Home buton to turn off and then go to Settings|>Accessibilty to really turn off.

Voice activated dialing

Just got my iphone which synchs nicely to my cars bluetooth. Is it possible to set up voice activation dialing to save you looking at phone to dial numbers
thanks
John

That is one of the only feature I missed from my Window Mobile phone (no boos ... I have drunk the Apple Kool Aid but was stuck with Verizon!). Unfortunately the iPhone does not support voice activated dialing. I did see an app called SpeechCloud Voice Dialer that is FREE but only gets 2.5 stars. I have not tried it yet.
The other program I miss is Windows Mobile Search. It had great directions and proximity search for anything ... movies, gas prices, etc. (again no boos). I haven't found one that does all of these things in one app.

Voice activated shutter to take pics?

Hi,
Does anyone knows of an App that allows voice activation of the shutter to take pics?
Thank you.

The fact palm ignore to put many key features in this beautiful devise is mind bugling to me, to be honest with you I bought the pre in June of 2009 and recently stop using it and got a android phone htc hero with sprint because all the things that the pre were missing from a smart phone perspective, now I think that palm have a winner here they just need to realize that multitasking alone is not going to cut it they need to innovate see what the other phone manufactures are doing and do more, I just heard that htc supersonic is coming soon to sprint and that the Iphone 4g is already in the making , palm better get their act together and come up with a killer phone soon or is going to be to late for them.

Voice Activated Dailing

Will an iPhone based Voice Activated Dialing be available soon? The AT&T system is clunky and difficult to deal with. Voice Activated Dialing is they only application that I miss from my Motorola Razor. The iPhone is very visual and difficult to use while driving without Voice Activaed Dialing.
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you absolutely need Voice Dialing don't get a different phone. The AT&T provided Voice Dialing feature requires that you do the following:
1. Remove the iPhone from your pocket or holster.
2. Press the Home button to wake up the phone.
3. Slide the Arrow to Unlock the iPhone.
4. Point to the Phone icon (more steps if you aren't already on the home view) to activate the Phone interface.
5. The next step could be several points of the finger depending on how you have configured your iPhone.
Option A. Select Favorites and select your favorite for the AT&T voice dialing feature "*8" if you previously set this up.
Option B. Point to the Keypad Icon to bring up the keypad and dial the voice dialing option by pressing "*8".
6. Speak the pre-setup voice dial name (this is done by entering or importing phone numbers and names from Outlook).
7. Hope that the Voice Dialing understood what you said.
Basically if you need this feature because you don't want to have to remove the iPhone from your pocket while driving just to dial; forget the AT&T Service it *****.
What is needed is for the iPhone to support a native ability to allow voice dialing. It should work by just going to the Keypad icon and then dialing without entering a number; if you are manually using the iPhone or you should be able to just initiate a call by pressing the Talk button a Bluetooth headset and speaking the voice dial name that you want.
The iPhone is a dangerous device to use in a moving vehicle. Voice Dialing is a must for a device that supports Bluetooth whose main benefit is the ability to use it with your vehicle.
This is just my opinion; I could be wrong. But considering that I've been in the software development business for 25 years specifically in telecommunications based products it is unlikely that I am wrong.
