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?

  • 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!

  • I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

  • 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?

  • 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

    No. If the phone is off there is no way to do anything.

  • 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

  • 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:

    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.

  • IPhone Voice Memos Interrupted By Incoming Calls

    I notice that every time I use my Voice Memos software on the 3G(s), if an call comes in, the Voice Memo stops recording and I won't know it till I look at the phone later. Is there ANY way to stop that for that not to happen and you can have perhaps the calls go directly into voice mail so that the Voice Memo feature doesn't get interrupted? It's useless to me otherwise.
    Thanks for anyone's input!

    The voice recorder application - just like every other iPhone application, native or 3rd party - will shut down when you receive a phone call. The iPhone operates under the assumption that the device is first and foremost a telephone.
    As far as work arounds go, you can always put the phone in airplane mode when you need to use the voice recorder app uninterrupted. This will send all incoming calls directly to voicemail.

  • Iphone 4s activation- 2 phones on the same itunes account

    My son has used my Itunes account and I thought he started his own when he got his Iphone.  But, he didn't.  He was able to activate his phone under my account.  Now, my Iphone needed a reset and I can't re-activate it.  It keeps telling me that I can't use the id.  I put in my Apple ID but it says it can't be used to unlock the phone.  Is this a US Cellular issue or an ITunes issue? Its' annoying me terribly since I can't use my phone now.  I've tried so many different things.  Just am about ready to throw the thing out.  What do I do? Does he need to create a new account and if so, how since his phone is tied to my account now? 

    Hi lsbandt,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your running into an Activation Lock issue since restoring your iPhone. Take a look at the article linked below, it will provide more details about the feature and provide suggestions on how to recover the username and password.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
    If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    Cheers!
