GPS voice activated?

Are there GPS systems that instead of typing in your address, you can say it? Can you recommend any? Also, if they are much more expensive, can you recommend a cheaper GPS?
I tried some today for the first time and found the touchscreens not to work too well, but maybe each one takes getting used to.
Many thanks.

I have the Garmin 3490LMT...
love the voice control for volume and brightness when driving. I strongly recommend looking for a device with voice control.
hate setting a destination by voice
If you find typing to be an issue....
consider "saving" the address after typing it once. This way you do not need to type it over and over again
consider a device with a larger screen for big thumbs. However 4" is perfect for a small car. Anything larger and I'm concerned by windshield may be blocked.
Before buying...
try setting a destination by voice in a store demo model. Very frustrating for me... (my accent?)
try typing the address on the screen. Which is faster?

FM Transmit and GPS voice guidance

I activated the FM Transmit on my C7 mobile. I am able to listen to music stored on my mobile phone on my car stereo. But I could not get the GPS voice guidance to broadcast on my car stereo.
Can anybody tell me how to make the GPS voice guidance to work on my car stereo.
Thanks

@orion13
Welcome to the forum!
Presumably you can still get voice guidance via speaker of C7?
Due to technical restrictions the audio output of Ovi Maps voice guidance is not supported over bluetooth connection to a car kit unfortunately. It was apparently a technical trade-off in the Bluetooth implementation prioritizing optimal use of Bluetooth headsets rather than enabling voice instructions through the carkit.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

How do I unlock voice activation on iphone

How do I unlock voice activation on iPhone 4

Hi Kilted Tim, thank you for your quick response.
Yup, I've had the unlimited plan for about 4-5 years, and I do everything I can to keep from losing it, for obvious reasons.
As you advise, I've been using the iphone in airplane mode with wifi activated which works fine when I am in wifi range. But of course when I'm out and about I want to use my data roaming for internet, maps, skype, whatever so I take it out of airplane mode.
The trouble is that I get incoming calls and am charged international rates even when I dont answer. I havent looked lately but I think AT&T charges me for one minute even for unanswered incoming calls.
Any ideas?
Many thanks!

HT1438 i keep getting SIM locked message on my iphone 4s and I need to unlock it please please can someone help me? The voice activation is on and when I type in what I think is the code It wont even put in the numbers

I am trying to unlock my SIM from my iphone 4s, as I am getting a mesage SIM locked. How do I unlock this?Also I am typing in what I think my code is and it is not working. The voice activation wil not allow me to type in the numbers for some reason. I have turned it off and on about 7 times now. please please please can someone help me?

If you bought the iphone in the US and it is locked to a specific carrier, then you can't use a different sim (from another carrier). Is this your situation?
Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to unlock my SIM". In which country did you buy the iphone? Who's your carrier?

Voice activation button

Is there a way to disable the voice activation button ( middle button ) on the side of the device.
This button is easily depressed accidentally.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try turning the mute button to off where you see 'open with the mute key' under ' settings/voice control '

Can Quicktime be set to record on Voice activation?

Can Quicktime or Quicktime Pro be set up to be Voice Activated, and stay on during a sleep mode to moniter suroundings? Is there any other Programs that would serve the purpose??

I tried this setup, Jeff... gets me to the login page fine... but doesn't seem to recognize any of my email logins (all which are virtual).
I have a website setup as MAIL.MYDOMAIN.COM... port 80...performance cache OFF... and pointing to /usr/share/squirrelmail. I tried these settings with OPTIONS-->WebMail both checked and unchecked. Doesn't seem to make any difference.
So, does the problem have to do with the fact that I have Mailstore partitions setup by domain, as per Alex's guide to Making Virtual Users?
As Alex mentioned, turn off the performance cache.
You can change the port in ServerAdmin to something
else (you mentioned 8010, which is fine).
You may need to create a seperate Site for Webmail if
you don't have one already.
To take this a step further....
My preferred (non-SSL) setup is this:
- Assuming you already have DNS of mail.domain.com
- Create a site for mail.domain.com (port 80)
- In Sites/General, port 80
- In Sites/General Web Folder
"/usr/share/squirrelmail"
- In Sites/Options, turn off Perf Cache.
If you do the above, when you hit
http://mail.domain.com
You will go straight to Squirrelmail without having
to add a /webmail to your url and without having to
use a different port #.

HT204389 IPad is in "voice activation mode" and it will not open. I did not change any settings.

IPad Air -32 suddenly is working in "voice activation" mode. The ipad is locked and I cannot figure out how to unlock it. Using OS7.1-Any thoughts?

Try triple clicking the home button.

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.
Kludge
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

Current Android 2.1 OS Not Compatible with Bluetooth Voice Activation

After spending two frustrating days trying to make Bluetooth Voice Activation work with the HTC Incredible Android, I found out from HTC technical support that the Android 2.1 OS is not compatible with Bluetooth Voice Activation. Supposedly changes to the operating system will correct the problem, but you're out of luck until then.....whenever 'then' is! It appears that Verizon and HTC have not choosen to include that information in their marketing material. A bit irresponsible, especially if you live in a state that requires handsfree operation of your phone in an automobile.

It seems that Moto has a workaround in 2.1 on the Droid X:
I was just at VZW store this morning looking at the Droid X (which is currently at 2.1), and specifically asked an employee about this and he showed that it's solved on the Droid X -- he paired his bluetooth and demo'd handsfree dialing it for me.
Unfortunately, the Droid X is probably too large for me or my wife and the Droid Incredible doesn't have a solution for bluetooth handsfree dialing (yet).

Using voice activation commands for Illustrator

I was searching this forum to see if you can scroll (zoom) with the mouse wheel. I found a couple of short cuts that accomplishes the task (but not as easy as PS CS3 does).
In PS CS3, I created a whole bunch of Dragon Naturally Speaking commands which, in effect, allowed me to speak the various PS commands (as opposed to clicking, dragging etc) with eh mouse and Wacom Pen.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, this is the way to fly in PS. Speaking commands and having the program perform the function allows you to concentrate on the creation as opposed to what tool and when etc.
Just being able (using the scrolling wheel example), to say "zoom" or "zoom out" instead of looking for the zoom icon clicking it and then clicking the work area helps tremendously.
So, while looking for a way to Scroll in Illustrator, I got to thinking I will do the same thing for this application.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone had done the same thing here in Illustrator.
I also posted this in the Windows forum.
Anyway, just wondering.
Bob

Hi Jean,
first, I had to let you know, and I am by no means connected in any form shape or manner with Dragon Naturally Speaking software.
Second, I am actually dictating this message to you utilizing this voice activation software. I have been utilizing the Dragon for many years and this particular version happens to be one of the best that they have ever marketed.
To give you an idea of the different commands that I utilized when creating very simple voice commands in the Dragon, here are some of the commands I created:
Adjust color, adjust contrast, adjust curves, adjust hue saturation, adjust levels, auto color, (for the brushes if I wanted to increase them, bigger 1 bigger 2, bigger 5, bigger 7 (as you can see, it would increase the size of the brush dependent upon the number that followed the word bigger)), clone, copy, copy layer, crop, curves, cut, delete layer, deselect, duplicate layer, feather, erasure, eyedropper, etc., etc., etc)
Once again, I am dictating this message and not typing it.
Hopefully you can see we have a mouse in your hand, or a pen tablet and you are looking at the screen and reciting commands, and not having to look at the keyboard or the mouse or the walkom pen or what ever, and when you speak a command the application does exactly what you want, this allows you to concentrate on what you are trying to create as opposed to how to create it!
This is the major differentiator between working manually (and trust me the pros on this forum can work very very fast manually), and working allowing your creativity to come to the front as opposed to your technical specific knowledge of the application and how to maneuver it.
Anyway, I come out of many many years of information technology and this is probably one of the best combinations of applications that increases the efficiency of the individual working with said applications.
I probably should go back and correct any recognition errors that the Dragon might have made (which were probably made because of my poor pronunciation were slurring of words), but I would rather not.
It would be better for you to see (and I guess the other members of the form to see) the voice activation software can do for you.
In closing, and once again I have to stress I am in no way affiliated with the Dragon, combining these two applications increases your productivity tenfold.
Good luck, and I hope you shoulder feels better.
Bob
ps., ok so i lied, I corrected 5 small errors the Dragon made.... but you would have understood what I was trying to say anyway....

How to I completely disable the voice activated dialing ...

How to I completely disable the voice activated dialing on my Blackberry?

One thing you might try is going to System Preferences/Sound and changing the output from Internal Speakers to Line Out or Digital Out. Line Out would be for headphones. I assume it keeps this setting after a reboot but you should test it.
Disabling the sound will also disable all warning sounds. Those can be pretty useful.

Making a call with voice activation

I have been using a Palm for 5 or 6 years that has allowed me to make calls by either naming the individual (voice command) or saying the numbers. It is invaluable (and much safer) while driving. Does either the iPhone or any Third Party software support this capability?

Hello,
We can't even have the phone in our hands while driving in Québec. I currently have a Blackberry pearl and wanted to switch to the Iphone but without voice activation calls I won't... I only have to push on the main button on my bluetooth headset and tell my contact to have the call placed. Does this apps allow for some "automation" like when I get in the car I activate it and then I don't need to push any buttons on the phone ?
Thanks

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,

Suri conflict with voice activation

Suri and Voice Activation - I have discovered an issue when using a bluetooth headset, when activating voice control via the bluetooth to call someone, if Suri is on the call cannot be completed. There seems to be a conflict between Suri and Voice activation from bluetooth.

Well, I have never come across this issue before, but it sounds like a quality of service issue and not really a port issue of any sort so I doubt opening any type of port will fix anything. If your ONT allows it, try bypassing our router with the linksys and see if the problem is fixed. Just want to verify it is the actiontech router causing the issue...
