Feature Request:  Voice Control to check Favorites first

When trying to dial using Voice Control, it would be really nice if the Voice Control application would try to match names in the favorites list before going to the full list of Contacts.
I have my Office listed in my favorites at the #1 position. Every time I say "Dial Office", it mismatches to someone else in my contact list (despite changing pronunciation, inflection, etc). I even tried renaming the contact "The Office", and that didn't help.
Favorites are the most likely numbers to be called, so I would think the Voice Control application should start it's matching search there.
Just a thought.
Cheers,
pjordan

Sorry for the confusion.
Has anyone else noticed whether or not the Voice Control app gives preference to any particular contact list over others? I'm trying to figure out in what order it searches for matches. I have about 20 different sub-folders of contacts (carried over from outlook/exchange). I'm curious in what order it searches them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

  • Feature Request: Song Controls in Coverflow and Bigger touch buttons

    Something that really needs to be added to the iPhone software for the iPod are song controls ( |<< and >>| buttons) when the phone is resting sideways and in coverflow mode. I use the iPhone in my car as an MP3 player, and if it is in coverflow mode and I am listening to an entire Genre (on shuffle), there is no way skip forward to the next song - this also becomes a problem if I'm using an armband. It would be nice if Apple added forward/backward skip buttons in the coverflow mode.
    Also - another concern is that touch-area around the song control buttons when you are NOT in coverflow mode isa bit small. When you are driving in a car, it actually becomes difficult to find the right area to touch (you know the >>| button) to skip to the next song. These would benefit from a small increase in size or just the touch area surrounding the button.
    These seem like simple changes that can be easily implemented. Anyone else have these same concerns? Does anyone else have any other simple features that could be added to the iPod functionality to make it easier to use?

    Since this is a user to user help forum only for technical support issues and questions, best to use the iPhone feedback link for such feedback, which at least ensures that your feedback is forwarded to and read by the appropriate Apple personnel but does not ensure that your request will be implemented.

  • Feature Request:  Setting to NOT check mail on launch

    Using the Mail on the iPhone virtually locks up the device until it is done checking mail. In Settings, you can set Mail to check Manually. However, every time I launch the Mail application, it checks mail automatically.
    I'd like to request a setting for the Mail application to NOT to check for new mail upon launch, making it truly manual only.
    If this were done, I would use the iPhone for email more regularly. For example, if I need to send a quick email, I have to wait until Mail checks for new emails before it will allow me to type a new email. This can take several minutes.
    Thanks for listening.

  • Feature Request: Voice Separation Tool during Scroll in Play

    Have been using the voice separation tool to make coherent piano parts after being played in via midi. Ideally it would be great if Logic had some 'intelligent sensor' which automatically detected the "logic" of what left and right hand would do.
    It gets really tedious dragging the Voice Separator tool through the piano score especially if it is a long part, so I had the idea to try and use View>Scroll in Play NOT in Page edit mode but with the score running in a straight band across the screen. I figured if you slow the tempo down a bit you might be able to hold the voice separation tool in one place on the screen and 'surf' or skateboard between the notes separating them just by slight adjustment of the mouse as the notes flow by.
    Unfortunately this doesnt work because even though you are scrolling in play with the tool, as soon as you click the mouse to make it active, it 'undoes' the connection causes Logic's score to update with the sequencer.
    Is there an outside chance of a way around this? ie some unknown linking of windows etc - I would really appreciate a few tips from anyone who has regularly made piano parts with the Voice Separation tool
    MS

    I don't know if this would help, but for piano parts I've given up using the voice separation tool, cool though it is. Instead, I start with the stock Piano score style (L7 terminology) and adjust the split point to get a reasonable result. Then I select all the notes in the bass clef and hit them with the "+" key (my k/command assignment used to increment event channel +1). This is a very fast operation. Then I alter the existing Piano style by setting treble to ch. 1 and bass to ch. 2. At this point you won't see a change in the score, but now you know that bass notes are "hard-assigned" to the bass clef.
    Go through the part again, selecting notes that should be in the bass staff and hit them with +1 to move them down to the the proper staff.
    If the part requires more than 2 independent voices (or more than L/R hand), I add additional polyphonic voices to that Piano style as needed (each set to unique MIDI channels) and go through the part in one more pass, selecting notes and assigning them to the appropriate MIDI channel. Using the key commands for "event channel + 1" and "event channel -1", assigned to the "+" and "-" keys makes quick work of this kind of thing.

  • IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
    To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

  • Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: add multiple Markers at defined times

    I'm about to post a feature request and wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested, as I've read that forum support can help to get feature requests added - and also just in case this feature already exists, and I've missed it in my Googling...!
    Here's the request:
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Option to add multiple Markers to a timeline at defined times
    How would you like the feature to work?
    It would be great to have an option in the Markers drop-down menu or to be able to right-click on the Marker icon in the timeline and be able to choose "Add Multiple Markers at xxx minutes/seconds/frames".
    Why is this feature important to you?
    I often end up creating a lot of montages, and it would be great to be able to use this feature to drop a Marker (for example) every three seconds in my timeline so that I can then add a bundle of clips using Automate to Sequence. At the moment, I do this by clicking on the Playhead Position hot text and typing in 00:03, 00:06, 00:09, etc, and dropping a Marker at each point, and this feature would speed things up a bit. I've also been asked by students if this feature is available as well.
    If anyone else would be interested in this request, please let me know...!
    Thanks

    Yes, that's true, when using my method described above, Prem adds each clip from the first frame and cuts it off when it reaches the next Marker, then I use the Slip tool to get them to the bit I like. I'd just like to remove the step of typing the time into the Playhead Position counter by dropping Markers at set intervals or by choosing to use the first xx seconds in the Automate to Sequence dialogue. Either way, the request is in now, but it doesn't look like it'll gain a lot of traction...!
    Cheers for the responses, Jim.

  • How do I turn off voice control for ipod features?

    HI,
    I'm having an issue with my iphone 4, when using with a 3rd party set of earbud headphones that include an inline microphone, wind and ambient noise cause the voice control to go haywaire.  I've found the option to turn off voice dialing for the phone, but can't find a way to shut this off in iPod mode. Help?  Please?  It's driving me crazy...

    I have the same problem with my ipod touch 4th generation.  It only started a few days ago after I finally updated it ios 6.1.6; I never knew Voice Control existed on my ipod before then. 
    It has not happened when I had headphones plugged in, only when it was sitting by itself on a table and I wasn't touching it. 
    The first time it happened, it was sitting on my night table at 4am while I was sleeping.  The second time it happened, it was sitting on my desk at work while I was quietly typing; I had to apologize to my coworkers while I tried to figure out how to make it stop.  Just now it happened again, sitting on my kitchen counter while I was on the other side of the room.  It has happened about four more times while I was sitting here at the computer researching the problem.  I even checked to make sure the case (Otterbox) wasn't pressing on the Home button, and it's not.
    I HATE IT!!!!!!  It makes me so angry!  If I can't figure out a way to make it stop, I'm going to have to stop using it altogether.  Is that what you want, Apple?  And no, I won't upgrade and buy a newer model; I'll get an Android version.

  • Feature Request: Ultrabeat: Load Sample auto copy file name to Drum Voice

    Feature Request: Ultrabeat: Load Sample auto copy file name to Drum Voice
    I wish that when I load a sample into a drum voice, that it would automatically copy the name of the sound file I'm importing to the drum voice minus the extension. If I were importing BD01.wav I'd like for the drum voice to display BD01. As it is, I have to import the file, then name or rename the drum voice to BD01. When importing large quntities, this becomes a giant pain, and I'm looking for anything programmatic that could save me a load of time. When I think of all the time I'm going to waste...and if you multiply that by all the number of users...that's a lot of wasted time.
    I wish of course that the program could suck up and autoload all of the sound files within a directory, names too, until the voices were full. Then I could just fine tune and kick out ones I don't want or want in different order. Not a big deal for users who are importing from all kinds of different sources, but say for impoting libraries like NI's Battery, it's a big deal.
    Maybe these could be choices in the load sample menu.

    Microsoft pulled the plug on DirectSound HAL in Vista due to lack of hardware support. The SAL exists for
    software compatibility, good intention but bad performance as there is no longer a direct path from
    DirectSound to audio drivers.
    People choose DirectSound for its Direct-ness
    but there is no reason to choose it now.
    DirectX SDK was integrated
    with WIndows SDK which ships with Visual Studio 2012 so you don't need additional downloads for
    WASAPI and XAudio 2.
    Just look up the documentation for headers/librarieslike every other Windows API you use. If you have a hard time to find the documentation then you need to go to search engines and find search engine tutorials. 
    There are plenty of samples for both WASAPI and XAudio 2, both in the Windows SDK and online. The DirectX team has some suggestions on which to use on their team blog.
    You can find experts for those APIs at the Windows Desktop Pro-Audio Application Development forum and the
    Audio/XACT forum on MSDN (link left out for you to practice your search skills). Again, it is fine to ask for hints but don't ask the whole
    solution. You are competing with others who just need a hint to finish work here. The time spent on working on your assignment would be better spent on helping on giving hints to others.

  • "disable voice control" is supposedly a features in iOS5?

    How do you do it? NO, not VoiceOver. Not Siri. But plain 'ol voice control. Why is this listed as one of the 200 new features of iOS5?

    Fawkes1989 wrote:
    yes and yes. I did state that i've tried resetting my phone (holding the buttons) and turning it off (holding the lock button until it asks to slide to power down.)
    That is not a reset. A reset is when you hold both buttons until the silver apple appears.
    The next step would be to restore the phone as new. If that doens't work, take the phone in for servicing.

  • The new Voice Control feature

    Hi there. While looking at the features of the new iPod touch, I noticed that the Voice Control thing from the iPhone 3Gs would be included in it. Will it be included on an iPod touch software update if you have a second generation? Because I'd quite like to have it on mine. If not, is there any other way of getting it on mine, like do I have to buy the earphones with the Remote plus the Mic?

    It does not appear to be. It is also not on the "current" 8 gig Touch. There has generally been at least one significant feature that you have to buy the newest iPod in order to get. I suspect that Voice Command is going to be that feature. Sorry.

  • Voice control   blue screen appears while I play musice and either stops song, switches to another.  Hitting cancel or pressing home key at first worked but now it is not.  How to stop this?

    Ok.  So I can be doing just about anything while my ipod is playing and then this voice control screen appears wih the blue screen.  I can shut it down and then turn it on after a while but that may or may not stop the problem.  Even if I have it locked this happens. 
    Even when I hit the home key or slide cancel, this keeps happening.  It is very annoying. 
    How do I stop this?

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem you likely have a hardware porblem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Feature Request: Brush Size/Feather Control Like CS5

    CS5 introduced a brilliant way to adjust brush size and feathering on the fly with a couple of spring-loaded keystrokes.  I plugged those into my Wacom pen and while holding the button simple drag left/right to change size and up/down for opacity.  Works brilliantly.  Would love the same functionality in LR4.

    Well welcome aboard then.
    This forum's primarily focused on the new features and bugs that are in this beta.  Your request is great, but as it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?  If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.  In fact, if you search over there, you may find others with the same idea, so you can add your vote.

    Multiple flags or ability to set a flag date, associate with a reminder.
    Move people from TO to CC or BCC easily (If I may add, also ability to backspace to delete a contact without having to tap the X in blue box).
    Option to add favorites to Hub for easy to reach contact management (I think it is same as going to contacts and choosing Favs)
    Being able to answer and make calls when the phone is locked.
    Add more colors to LED notification (I think they are there now, orange, green, red so far, did not see blue, I don't think blue is needed in my opinion)

    Make it easier to order world clocks, instead of the order they are added.

    Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
    Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.

    Change acceptance of auto corrected key, instead of space key, make it something else (actually, you can just backspace to un-autocorrect it back to what you typed).
    Ability to load certificates (X 509 S/MIME and/or PGP/MIME) from a computer

    Ability to delete email-messages by group as an alternate option to one by one

    For above encryption request, SecuSmart was suggested...
    Renaming the file without extension can break the file or hide it from pictures list.
    Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
    Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
    Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.

    Custom vibration options.
    Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
    Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
    Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
    Single key press to change profiles.
    Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
    Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
    Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
    Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
    Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
    Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
    Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
    Call Recording
    Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails,  or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
    Customize email signatures with formatting.
    Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
    More Options for Clock.
    In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
    There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
    Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
    E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
    When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
    Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
    Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
    When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
    Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
    We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
    I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
    None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
    There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
    Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
    Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
    Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
    Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
    Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
    Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
    No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
    The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
    Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
    Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
    We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
    them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
    Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
    There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
    Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
    I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
    Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

  • AMP Feature request thread

    I've just started trying to use the AMP for some home entertainment and I must say it has been a challenge to enjoy this product in its current form. Perhaps I dont have a grasp on what the expressed functions of the player are, and what advantages can it offer me over the myriad of other players and services.
    I can find nowhere else to leave feedback and suggestions or have dialog with adobe developers so I thought, like in many other Adobe product forums, to begin a feature request thread in hopes that if enough users add feedback we may eventually have an improved product. In the same regard users can enlighten others as to what functions they find useful already. Its not meant to be a gripe list but a chance to voice constructive ideas and share experience with the product.
    Preamble complete, I will have first go:
    1) The system options seem very limited to me, for instance I can not find an option to view or change in what directory\folder the video files are downloaded or cached to.
    2) A minimized view or skin would add benefit for me. It seems now the only options are full screen and a small window housed inside the AMP program window. With any other media player I have used one can play a file in a resizable window without all the other program buttons and menus eating up your screen space.
    3) Video controls options during playback, like chroma level, brightness/contrast, gamma. This is standard on other players.
    4) I get annoyed when I am watching a video and I pause and go to the home or favorites tab, AMP automatically disconnects the video I was playing, and the I must search the catalogue to find it, restart it, and re-watch the commercials if any to re-cue it to the last viewing spot.
    5) I dont really appreciate the default favorites or new episodes listed. That is not needed.
    6) There are no right click menus? Odd. At the least I would like to be able to right click a video file to pull up information on it. In fact, I would like any method of looking at files information. This goes hand in hand with the general lack of user options throughout the program.
    7) Last one for now, but a big one. Why in the world would AMP not support more video formats? I, like most computing people, horde all kinds of different media files in my various libraries. If AMP cant play them it has a big disadvantage to all of the other ubiquitous media players out there.
    Thats it for starters. Hopefully I will start get more familiar with the program and then find more benefits. Please, add to this thread if you have any thoughts on the AMP.

    1.  Ability to skip forward (fast forward) through a video or rewind video.
    2.  Point AMP to a set of folders containing personal videos I want to watch in AMP.  Right now, if I have a series of videos that form one full course, I have to eliminate the previous course videos so they do not get mixed in with the new course videos.
    3.  Ability to go back to where I was in the video when the Internet goes down (or flickers) rather than play from beginning.
    4.  By the way, why are the TV shows going away?  This was the No. 1 reason we installed AMP on our multimedia computer!
    That is all for now.
    Thanks,
    edsager
