Can't call contacts using Voice Command on HTC DNA

On my old HTC Thunderbolt I could touch the microphone icon and use the voice command to call someone in my contact list.  It does not work on my new HTC DNA.  This feature kept me from having wrecks while driving because all I had to do was punch one icon then speak “call so and so cell” and the call would be made.
How do I turn it on or get it to work?
I have instructed my family to sue Version and HTC if I get killed while driving and having to punch in letter to call someone.  They have already demonstrated they have the technology to perform in the Thunderbolt and other phones.

Why is it that the Voice Search is broke right out of the box.  I know it has to do with the Google Now app but I can't find the fix anywhere.  I like how the Verizon WCS recommends what I am sure what we all did first.  Absolutely no help.
I would love to install Voice Search from Google but the play store says it is already installed.  But it is defaulting to the new google search as part of that Google Now app.  Neat app but it wont dial anything other the home or mobile phone numbers. So I have to manually dial my wife at work.  Also, the voice search from the phone screen wont dial if I say call my wife.  It just places the text in the dial box.  ***?  Anyway, I just switch to verizon to try to get a better HTC then what sprint offers.  I love the speed of the phone but Sprint seams to make sure the basics work on there phones.  My EVO worked great with the old Voice search including hands free dialing to work, home, or mobile by saying "call my wife at work"  Because I have My Wife as the contact name for my wife. 
Please let me know if you found a fix for this.  I really wish I could install the old google voice search but I cant. 
Maybe Mr. moderator can light a fire with HTC to correct the problems.

  • Can I enter new contacts via voice command

    Does suri or a 3rd party application for iphone allow you to enter new contacts using voice commands?

    Hi
    Im not sure if it will work using the Recovery console. In my opinion it's not possible.
    As far as I know you can add the user and the password using the CMD but this would function only when Windows OS has been loaded.
    In such case you can use this command to add user account: +net user username /add+
    If you want to add a password to the new user account then you have to use this path: +net user username password /add+

  • Using Voice command to call some one...

    Hello,
    On the key note presentation in June the Steve Jobbs had done he used voice command to call a person.
    How do you go about doing the set up for that. I can not seem to do it.
    Sean

    I could swear he did because he made a comment along the lines that "today's technology" ...
    I could be wrong but I can not quote his comment but I know he made a comment about it before he did it.....
    Oh well. One would think with the issue of driving and cell phone this would of been included.

  • Can I use Voice Commands (Speech) to control the DVD Player?

    Problem: I want to insert a DVD in the the DVD drive and use voice commands to stop, pause, play, move forward, move back, and quit the DVD Player. Is this possible? If so how would I do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Jim Minor

    You can create a speakable item. Use AppleScript Editor (Applications > Utilities > AppleScript Editor) to write the appropriate AppleScript to perform the desired action, and give it a name which is the command you want to speak. Then, make a subdirectory in the Speakable Items directory named "DVD Player" and copy your script to it. You should be able to speak the name of the script when DVD Player is in the foreground and have the script execute.
    An example script (Play.scpt):
    tell application "DVD Player"
    play dvd
    end tell
    Other commands that the DVD Player application understands:
    fast forward dvd
    pause dvd
    rewind dvd
    stop dvd
    step dvd
    go to \[ main menu / title menu / subpicture menu / audio menu / angle menu / beginning of disc \]
    press \[ up arrow key / down arrow key / left arrow key / right arrow key / enter key \]
    open VIDEO_TS
    open dvd video folder
    play next chapter
    play bookmark
    play named bookmark
    play video clip
    play named video clip
    exit clip mode
    obscure cursor
    eject dvd
    The DVD Player application also has a bunch of properties related to chapters, titles, subtitles, etc.

  • Can you use voice command to get map directions

    Does the iphone 4 have the ability to use a voice command to get map directions----then display the map?

    You need a third-party app like: TomTom or Navigon. There are others in the app store.

  • E71 crashes when using voice commands

    Hi there,
    I've recently updated the phone software hoping that my problem would go away, but it hasn't.
    Basically, when I use the voice commands to call a contact, all is good.
    However, if I have a contact with 2 or more contact numbers, none of which assigned as a default number, the phone crashes and restarts.
    As contacts are not automoatically assigned a default number, when I add numbers to contacts, I must specify the default number to avoid a crash on the phone. Is there any work around for this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi mgoksoy,
    I also agree this is a nifty program. However, there is some data and internet interaction necessary for the application. It doesn't seem to use a lot, but some is used. All of the logic to analyse the speech is online, allowing the application to improve over time.
    This diagram at the end of the technology page should give a clear picture on the interaction.
    (See here: http://www.vlingo.com/technology/)
    Thanks again for introducing this application.

  • How can I improve accuracy of voice commands?

    My iPhone can't tell the difference between folk rock and Latin when I ask it to playlist rock. I've never had much luck with any voice commands on computers because computers are terrible at interpreting language. Isn't there someway to teach the iPhone to recognize the proper words like my samsung a660? It had software that let's me speak the words so it can improve the accuracy.

    What resolution are you using?  If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported.  You need Blue ray for HD.

  • N73 - Can not call contacts

    Sometimes I cant call my contacts or the caller log. This error have followed me through all the firmware upgrades, but it is still the same.
    The error occurs from time to time and nothing happens when I press the green button. When I open caller log I can see all numbers but nothing happens when I press green. Same happens with contact list. I can open contacts, open details, but when I press "voicecall" nothing happens.
    I can dial number manually and then call them. I can also send messages to contacts, but I can not call them in other ways than pres the number manually
    The only thing that helps is a reboot.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    In N73 a major problem or error occurs it is "*u cant dial contact in ur phone directly*" but manually u can dial by entering the whole number.
    There no fix till now only option was *switch off & on*.. which is still annoying..
    i have noticed
    *v home* software is a fix for it
    only use v home screen to dial number.
    Settings in Vhome for
    "dial contact by name" is
    >settings>smart dialling>name alone.
    Still u dont want to switch off the phone every time go 4 vhome....

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Try to perform the restore factory settings. Note that your files won't be deleted. To do this, go to Tools and then Settings. Select General and then Orig. phone settings. Enter the security code or the lock code. The default code is 12345 unless you changed it. If that didn't work, it's best to have your phone physically checked at the Nokia Care Point. They'll be able to help you with your concern. Note that charges may apply for the out of warranty phone.

  • Call home-call mom-call sister (by voice command)

    When do you think the iPhone will be able to call stored numbers with your voice instruction?
    Certainly would be helpful while driving.

    Helen Goff,
    The iPhone itself doesn't do voice dialing. If you would like to suggest that as a feature you can do so at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    AT&T does offer a service where you dial a short number, and then can use voice dialing for numbers stored with AT&T. This is an account feature that can be added to the account. You can get more information about this at: http://www.wireless.att.com/
    Hope this helps,

  • Capture incoming phone # to contacts? Voice commands? Speed dial?

    How do I capture an incoming phone call to my contacts? Is there any way to dial by voice commands? On my old phone I could press and hold a number to speed dial, is Favorites the only way to do this on the iPhone? Any help would be appreciated

    once you have a call in your call log (recents) press the blue arrow to the right of the number and you will see two buttons 1. create new contact 2. add to existing contact
    no voice dialing
    favorites is the only way to speedial, i think its faster than the traditional method just double click the home button and you are taken directly to favorites then just one touch and 'viola' phone call
    good luck

  • How do I use voice commands with CC on my Mac?

    Howdy all! Just made the switch to Adobe from Final Cut 7. Overall, I'm digging it a bunch.
    However, there's one aspect of CC on my Mac that's vexing me.
    As you may know, there is speech recognition / voice command software built in to Mountain Lion (it's been around for years, and many iterations of OSX). With this software, you can make any number of custom voice commands for another piece of software. For instance, in FCP 7, I can program the keystroke "l" (play track) to respond to the voice command, "Forward." (It can be any word or phrase you type in.) This works with other programs as well.
    All well and good, and pretty dang cool. However, I can't make any voice commands work with any of the CC software (I've tried Premiere and Media Encoder so far). I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck, or, perhaps, that the ported interface from Windows to Mac has some layer of code that (probably inadvertantly) blocks voice commands from working with CC on a Mac.
    Anyone got any tips? Tricks? Confirmation that this simply won't work on a Mac? (If the last, I'd love to know the "why" as well.)
    Thanks!
    Best,

  • Can't find contacts using airdrop (iphone6)

    I cannot access any contacts using airdrop

    That's because you have to be next to the person to share it with them using AirDrop. If you would like to share it with them another way, you can use email, text message, or create a Shared Photo Stream.

  • My phone will not use voice commands to send emails

    I cannot dictate text messages and siri cannot answer questions.  I can dictate lists for other apps.

    Voice commands or Siri?  They are two different things.
    A search of the forums would have shown several posts in the last few days regarding issues with Siri.
