HT5449 The voice commands no longer work

Apple should take down the voice commands that no longer work - it over sells a product that is, while good, significantly less useful without the commands it claims to support. It has also lead to me wasting time trying to get them working as the Apple site itself says that that should. It wasn't until I Google'd the issue that it came to light these features have been removed after patent issues with Nuance.

    Since installing Mavericks, voice command no longer works

    i have Fixed the problem, Had to go into dictation and speech preferences and actually shut the dictation microphone off. Once that was done I turned it back on and it automatically began to download new software for the microphone. Once that was done I re-booted my computer and it is now working beautifully.

  • Bluetooth w/ voice commands is not working correctly after 2.2 update and factory default.

    I  have been having numerous problems with my phone and now a problem with the Bluetooth.  I have a Sony Xlopd Stereo in my car with built-in Bluetooth capability.  I have been able to use the phone connected to the Sony flawlessly for several weeks.  On an in coming call the Caller's name and the ringer would go through the speakers in my car.  When I wanted to place a call from the car I would press the Bluetooth button on my stereo, this would launch the voice command program on the Droid X and output the voice commands responses through the stereo and then dial the phone number I was trying to call.  Then I updated the phone to 2.2 and still maintained all the same Bluetooth capability.  However, after having other problems with the phone after the update I decided to do a Factory Rest.  After the rest it seemed to clear up some of my issues; except now when I re-paired the phone to my Sony stereo I have lost a lot of functionality.  For example, now when a call comes it does not announce the caller or ring through the stereo.  When I try to place a call through the stereo, the voice command program is no longer launched on the phone and it will not place a call.  I have to initiate the call through the phone itself and then the Bluetooth automatically picks up the call.  I have tried to wipe the paring from the phone and stereo and pair again with no luck.  I have also checked the volume settings and most settings on the phone.  This frustrating when trying to place a call.  I would not be so bad if I never had the capability, but now knowing that it was possible at one time I want it to work again. 
    Does anyone know if this functionality was lost after the update and my phone was still "stuck" between 2.1 and 2.2? 
    Or is there another problem with my device that can't be resolved? 
     I am open to any advice, since Verizon will not replace my phone that has signal and reception issues dropped calls, reboots randomly among other things and now this issue even though I pay $8 a month for warranty and pay my bill with four other phones.  
    I am really hating the Driod X with all the flaws and inconsistency..I miss my Blackberry.

    I was having the same problem with my X right out of the box. Using a Motorola T505 handsfree device. Turns out that it acts exactly as you describe if the screen lock security is enabled. Once I disabled that, it worked fine. It does take a few seconds for the voice prompts to activate, but other than that it works. Not sure if you use the extra screen lock security, but if you do, you may want to disable it.
    Its been so long that I thought about that issue but that is correct, when the device is locked using the password or swipe feature it does restrict the voice dialed from activating from bluetooth...

  • Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
    1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
    2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
    I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
    Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
    The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
    Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
    Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
    1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
    2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
    Any help would be appreciated

    Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
    I found this on My Oracle Support:
    <h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
    Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
    Sun SPARC Sun OS
    Symptoms:
    When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
    Steps to be followed:
    1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
    2) Locate the following environment variable:
    LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
    #LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
    LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    (This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
    4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
    The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation

  • Voice control no longer works after upgrade to iOS 4

    Everything about iOS 4 has been great so far on my 3Gs, except that voice control no longer works. Holding the home button still brings up the voice control, and the "voice" confirms whatever action I say, but then instead of doing whatever it is supposed to, the phone just goes back to the home screen. Everything in voice control worked fine before I updated to iOS 4, so obviously it is a software issue. Has anyone else having the same issue?

    I'm having the same problems. I have a 32GB iPhone 3GS which I upgraded to iOS 4.0 (previously running 3.1.3).
    I've tried a full restore as well as changing the Voice Control language settings in General > International > Voice Control. I'm English and based in the UK and had my Voice Controls previously set to English (British). The weird thing is if I set my Voice Control to English (American) and then impersonate an American accent - then it works fine! Change it back and it's just the same - takes an age to finish recognising anything and then it's nowhere near what I said.
    Hope that info helps out in diagnosing the problem.

  • 6120 classic:My voice commands do not work

    Please help.
    Don’t know if I'm just being stupid or there is something not right with my 6120c.
    My voice commands do not work.
    If I press the button for a voice command, it says that there are no voice tags saved.
    If I go into the voice command application (Which should create the voice tags on opening), I cant playback the voice tags, its give a 'voice system error' error message.
    Is there something that is not set up properly? In the voice command settings, the synthesizer is 'on'?
    Also, I don’t have voice tags on my contacts??
    I read somewhere that this is a firmware problem and the phone should be taken back to nokia. Is this the case?
    Somebody please help.

    I formated my nokia n6120 using the code *#7370#. It deletes !everything! (settings, aplications...), but I have no voice sytem error now.

  • Voice command doesn't work

    I loved the fact that the Motorola Droid Razor would have voice command but it hasn't worked right since we bought them a week ago. Anytime I attempt to send a text, note to self, call...it pop's up "server problem". The voice command feature will do a google search but I have that widget on my home screen. Has anyone else had this problem?! I have went to the store and I am so sick of hearing, it must just be the local network, wait 24 hours and see what happens. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK!
    Frustrated!!

        Mamashep, I want to make sure you have full use of your Droid Razr. The voice command is a great feature! Are you still having this issue? Are you able to access the internet and other data applications on your phone? Are you using the voice command from the widget? If so, try removing the widget and re-add. If no change, try clearing the cache from the Voice Search by going to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Messaging, Clear data/cache.
    Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • How To Use The Voice Command in Nokia 6300

    Dear all
    the voice command which saved on the Nokia 6300 is a computrized only i can't change it with my voice which return this option is useless to me so is there any other way to use this service using my real voice

    No, on newer Nokia phone you can no longer recorded your own voice tags.
    If you are having difficulty with the phone understanding your voice command please try to change the voice playback setting on the phone. Do the following :
    Menu -> Settings -> Phone -> Language settings -> Voice playback language
    Then select a language that the phone should use for playing back voice commands, you might want to select a language that closely resembles your accent and language.
    Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

  • Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in CS2 and...

    Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in PS CS2. Any command that I try to execute in PS generates a "program error" message, including trying to exit the program. Now I have to go into Task Manager and "kill" it in there to get out of it. Images and changes will not save.
    I have deleted the PS preferences and rebooted. I un-installed and re-installed PS. Same problem. Only happens in PS, not InDesign.
    I can click directly on the toolbox to activate a certain tool, but this is so painfully slow. I'm pretty much dead in the water so any help appreciate.
    Dell 8400 3 ghz box, Window XP latest version, all updates.
    Tons of memory and hard drive space.
    [sig deleted by forum host]

    The program has worked without any problems for two years. It was purchased at CDW under our company account.
    Here's where I am with it. I am completely screwed now and at the "format the hard drive" point. When I go to install the CS2 Suite, the installer disk says that everything is out there on the hard drive BUT Photoshop, even though I used the installer CD to removed all components. I can't reinstall over anything, or install anything at all.
    I went through the OS Registry and cleaned out what I think is everything but the install disk is reading something somewhere in a file that I can't seem to locate. I also went through the Common files under programs and cleaned that out as well. So, it looks like a reformat for me.
    So, I've order a brand new 250 gig hard drive in case there are any issues going on from that end. Right now I'm going through withdrawal symptoms because I no longer can access CS2 and I have a boatload of projects to work on. Your basic nightmare. Wait, maybe I'm dreaming all this...

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
