Setting up voice dialing

I have looked everywhere I can tink of but can't find anywhere that shows how to set up and use voice dialing. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Newbie to the BB.

Hi dollhobbs,
Your voice dialing can be found under:
Options< Vioice Dialing.
If you have not enabled the convinience key options then go to:
Options<screen/Keyboard<right/Left side convinience key opens:Voice Dialing.
Also as you have not specified the device model, I suggest you have a look in these articles for help regarding voice commands:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/14928/Voice_commands_826910_11.jsp
And this article for voice dialing:

HT3597 where is the command to set up voice dialing?

I cannot figure out how to set up voice dialing. YES I have a headset and bluetooth and yet I can't find WHERE to SET UP a phone number with my VOICE.

Press and hold the Home button. That will bring up Voice Command. There's really nothing to set up. You would then say, "Call <name from your contacts>" or "Call 8005551212".

Siri is prompting to unlock Iphone 6 when pressing home button for voice dial of existing contact

Just upgraded me to an IPhone 6. I restored my new phone from recent back up so all contacts, etc. are there. Also updated to latest OS.
If I depress the home button Siri is now prompting me to unlock my IPhone.
Scenario:
Depress Home button to activate Siri
Say "Call Home:"
Siri responds "You'll need unlock your IPhone first"
Unlock IPhone
Siri responds "Just to confirm - you'd like to call home".
I used to be able to just say "Call home" and it would just dial.....no unlock...no confirmation.
What's changed? Is there a setting I need to tweak?
Running iOS 8.1.1
Thanks

Hi teturner,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are unable to voice dial from your lock screen, you may want to see if the setting to disable Siri when the phone is locked is enabled, as is noted here:
Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions.

No "Voice Dialer" prompting after GB Update

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock "voice dialer" no longer working properly since the recent OTA to 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)? I have the same "won't appear / won't disappear" issue with the voicemail notifications, but I have one other issue, and that is that the voice dialer no longer works for me with voice prompting. I installed the Google text-to-speech data download (which I had to do last update as well), but it has not solved the problem. This is especially troublesome if I want to make a hands-free call with either my Bluetooth headset or the link in my car. I did the OTA on the first day (Wed late afternoon) and am now finding the broken voice dialing prompting to be a major hangup. I push the button and hear nothing. It will record what I say and then I have to push a button on the screen to confirm the dialing, but without voice prompting, I have no idea if it got the number correct or not. I read elsewhere from one other forum where an individual had this same problem and a few users suggested using the free "Vlingo" app from the Android Market instead. I gave it a try, but it behaves oddly with the bluetooth connection (e.g. prompting doesn't come through my headset, but the phone's speaker, though it will use the mic from the headset). I want my stock "voice dialer" to work again. Help anyone?

I solved my issue today within minutes of knocking at the VZW store's door to roll me back to Froyo. Ready folks?
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Remove the backing, battery, and sd card
3. Leave it sit for a bit
4. Reinsert the battery and sd card
5. Perform a restart (hold in the power button)
Phone restarted. Connected to the car bluetooth. Now pressing the button to dial brings the voice prompting for dialing back again!
I have restarted the phone since then and the setting has been retained. If you lost your voice dialing prompting, please try these steps. Don't know why they worked (when a restart did not), but it did!
Now I just have the broken VM prompt that everyone else is experiencing... Hope a fix is soon.

6500 Classic, using Voice Dialing without headset

I just got a 6500 Classic, which I love so far, and the voice recognition feature seems to work well for me. However, I am only able to dial by voice from my headset. How do I initiate voice dialing without the headset? I've tried to see if I can set up one of my soft keys so that I press it and it knows that I want to say a command but I can't find that shortcut option.
How do I get the phone to listen for my voice command without the use of a headset?

And yes, you have to press the right soft button for 2 seconds every time you want to do a voice command - but that only makes sense on a candybar form factor...other wise it would be constantly waiting for a voice command it recognizes and would kill the battery in no time!

How can I reinitalize Voice Dial.

I recently update my BlackBerry Pearl's software to the 4.2 version. Long story short I had to wipe the device and then reactivate my BES/Excahnge account.
As I teach people how to use BlackBerries, I am always trying different things. I switched the sort order of my address book from "By first name" to "By last name". I did not give much thought to it; i assumed I could switch back later.
I launched voice dial for the first time since the update and it built its list...using the LastName-FirstName order. I am used to using it the other way. So I have changed my Address book back to FirstName-LastName, but the Voice dial remained LastName-FirstName. I know that it simply need to rebuild its database, I just do not know how to force it to do that.
Any thoughts?

I know that it is nearly three years after the original question was posted, but I just had the problem today, and I figured that others might still be looking for an answer.
If you want to update your voice dialing directory or change from last name first to first name first (or vice versa), then start from the main screen, and scroll down to the "option" icon (the question mark). Click and then go to "Language and Text Input" (NOT to "voice dialing"; why would they make it easy?) Next, change the language to something other than what it is, and exit the options application.
Next, go to the voice dialing application, and as soon as it starts to rebuild your list, exit that application, and go back to Options/Language and Text Input. This time, set the choices to whatever you really want, which can be your original settings, or it can be something new. When you next return to voice dialing application, it will rebuild your list again, and this time it will be how you want it.
Hope this helps!

Voice Dialing and Area Codes

Hi There,
Does anyone know how I get voice dialing to allow me to include the area code when I ask it to call a phone number? It currently only allows me to specify 7 digits instead of 10. I have set up my area code via the Call Log options and the number of digits for National numbers is set to 10.
If you cannot configure it to allow 10 digits, is there any way to configure it to automatically include a default area code when you specify a phone number by saying the digits?
Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your input. I actually do exactly the same thing as you described. However, my question was more for those instances when you don't currently have an entry in your Blackberry for the number you want to call using voice dialing and have to specify the number by saying the digits that comprise the desired phone number.
Thanks.

Voice Dialing and navigating in the following drop...

My new 6600 fold drives me mad! How can I navigate through the diiferent numbers/contacts when I use voice dialing via headset? The idea is: press the button on my headset, then talk a contacts name e.g. "Peter" (with or without thumbs in the nose). The phone recognizes my speech as "Peter" (with luck) and shows:
1. a list with contacts who has "Peter" as name/first name (depending on what list format i use - why can the pone not shows both like in my "old" Nokia 9300?) and THEN?
or
2. a single contact and dial his number. But WHAT if this contact has more numbers?
Solution: Take the phone out of the pocket, unfold it and navigate with the keys through the contacts/numbers? THAT I did not have in mind when I want to call somebody via headset. Is there an undocumented set of voice commands to navigate throug the menu? The manual is not really helpful for that.
As workaround you can for case 1 say the complete name e.g. "Peter Tschaikowski" and talk a little bit more in a robotic voice for a better understanding (like i read in other posts here).. OK, this might work.
In case number 2 I start to select one number as "standard" number who will select when the name is clear. But that is nit really helpfull if you want to talk to your mum/boss/girlfriend with a different number when driving a car. in my country it is not allowed to use the phone without headset in the car. For me it will be a expensive pleasure to use my 6600 fold while driving.....

I can't believe that I'm the only one with this problem. Nobody with an solution for this? :womansad:

How can I get Siri to insert a pause (,) when voice-dialing a number?

I join a lot of conference calls with my iPhone. The conference bridges have phone numbers that follow this pattern:
(123) 456-7890,1234567#
How can I get Siri to insert the pause (,) character, and the pound (hash) sign, into the phone number when voice-dialing?
When I say "pause" Siri inserts the word "pause" as a literal string:
     Example: (123) 456-7890 pause 1234567
When I say "comma" Siri will insert a comma (,) into the dial string, but the Phone app ignores everything after the comma and does not dial it:
     Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567   results in only this being dialed: (123) 456-7890
When I say "pound" or "hash" Siri inserts the words "pound" or "hash" as literal strings:
     Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567 pound     instead of (123) 456-7890,1234567#

If it is your own conference bridge you can create a new contact named "My Bridge" and enter your 1800 number along with a "wait" command and pass code and #. It would look something like this 1-800-555-5555;12345678#. This way when you tell Siri to call "My Bridge" she'll dial and then you'll notice an option in the lower left to dial the pass code. Press that and you're all set. You can do the same for frequent conference bridges you connect to. Hope this helps.

Jelly Bean update completely killed true hands free voice dialing.

Regardless of the fact that S-Voice (as well as Google Voice dialing/search) is unable to recognize most of my contacts, it's also a fact that by definition, it cannot work as a true hands free voice dialer, which is defined as the ability to make a call without touching (or even seeing) the phone AT ALL. This is due to the simple fact that neither S-Voice nor Google Voice dial/search allows you to say "yes" or "no" to a phone number confirmation prompt. In other words, you need to see the screen at some point in order select the correct number to dial. Prior to the Jelly Bean update, this issue was relatively easily solved by using a third party app -- I preferred an app called "Cyberon Voice Commander" -- to take over the voice dialing duties. The first time you hit the Bluetooth button after installing the app, you could select the default program to respond to the BT button. I simply selected the Cyberon Voice Commander app, and everything worked from this point forward -- I could dial a number without ever taking the phone out of it's case.
With the Jelly Bean update, however, this is suddenly no longer possible because S-Voice completely takes over the Bluetooth button, and does not allow another app to take over as the default. The "launch by default" section for S-Voice in the application manager is now greyed out, and says "no defaults set" for S-Voice even though S-Voice is set as the default program to launch when pressing the BT button. The only "potential" solution is to completey "disable" S-Voice via the application manager, which does allow you to select Cyberon Voice Commander as the default BT button press app, but there are two problems with this. First, the default resets when turning the phone on even though you select "always" for the CVC app. This means that you have to re-select the third party app as the default BT button app EVERY time the phone is turned off. Second, disabling S-Voice is not a solution because I still would like to use it for things OTHER than voice dialing. Disabling it completely removes it from the menu, making it unusable even for things that it is better at.
I cannot believe how hard S-Voice is being shoved down our throats. Why would they make it mandatory? The whole point of Android is that it's supposed to be "open" and allow users to individually decide on their own way of doing things -- i.e. to offer multiple approaches that suit your preferences rather than adopting a narrow minded "we decide what's best" attitude. This is the whole reason that I moved away from Apple. This S-Voice situation, however, is just ridiculous. It's fine to push it as an "option," but please keep it OPTIONAL -- particularly given that it literally CAN'T do what other apps do (i.e. true hands free dialing.)

A few things you can try ... turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, wait a few minutes, then reinsert the SIM card and re-boot the phone. Maybe a fresh connection to the network will improve the signal/call quality.
Do a system cache clear; it won't delete your data:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
You should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
If all else fails, back everything up, remove the SD card to be on the safe side, and factory reset the phone. No, it's not a preferred option, but sometimes that is what it takes to 'clear out the cobwebs' after an operating system update.

New voice search starts Google voice dialer instead of voice search app (fw 5.0.0.66)

Hello. I use Nexus 4 with Lollipop 5.1After upgrade I found that Sony released a new cool feature "Voice search" which should "forward search commands to phone's defaults voice search app".in facts when I hoold 2 sec on Volume Up button I see native ugly "Google voice dialer" instead of "Google voice commands".Is it behaviour by default? How can I use Google voice commands (aka Google Now) instead of voice dialer?Thanks.

Hi! You can actually use a free APP name " BT GNow". Set it as default APP as the Samrtband talk search function. Then you can use Google Now. Millet

Voice dialing in different languages

In my contacts, there are people from many different countries - their names are therefore pronounced in completely different ways. My E71 however pronounces (and recognizes) all the names according to just one language that is set up. Is it possible to somehow assign the language of voice recognition to each name separately?
Thanks

Hi,
I believe this is not possible. Your phone will only work on the assigned "language" that you selected. But there are many different "Language Packages" that your phone can use which might help you in your Language and might help you with the voice tag as well. You can get them here-> Text To Speech Language Packages
I might be able to help you with the "Voice Tag" name dialling though, here are some key points you can use with regards to Speaker Independent Name Dialing (SIND) that Nokia uses for all its phone. This is somewhat base on my experience.
1) LET THE PHONE TEACH YOU
listen as to how your phone's voice is pronouncing the built-in voice tag and try to mimic it, do this with the contacts the you always call, say from 3 to 5, or more depending on how much free time you have, the more the better (
2) TEACH THE PHONE
do the voice dial, as much as you can, the more that you do it, the more that your phone will also adapt yo your voice.
3) BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE THE NAMES
if you have not noticed it, if you type the names is all capitals, like "ABN-AMRO" your phone will pronounce this contacts by letter, as in "A", "B", and so forth. Hence, you can actually experiment on how you are writing the names but still the key is how the phone says it, and you must mimic it as must as you can.
hope this helps, it might not be perfect, but once you got the hang of it, it will work!

Cronic voice dialing problem, PLEASE help

Hey everyone,
I'm new to posting on these forums but have been browsing for about two weeks. I recently got a Curve 8330 and loved it until this problem arose. I have researched it and cannot find a solution, and it is really starting to drive me crazy. I hope someone can help, and I would be very grateful.
Anyway, I have a Seidio Extended Battery, and a 16 gig microSD card in the phone, but I don't think either one has anything to do with the problem (it still occurs with them removed). A lot of times when the phone is idle or I am trying to make a call, the voice dialing screen pops up. At the top it says Voice Dialing, under that it says "Say a command", and then it says Listening. I believe this is the regular voice dialing screen. However, I do NOT want to use voice dialing at all. I have the side convenience keys set to lock and camera, so it does not have to do with them. This screen randomly pops up and repeats itself over and over to the point where I must remove the battery and reload. A few minutes later, it happens again. Also, when this screen is up and I'm in the middle of the call, I cannot hear the opposite party which causes further issues.
Does anyone else have this problem and/or a solution? Is there a way I can just eliminate voice dialing altogether from the phone? This thing is driving me nuts and ruining an otherwise fantastic piece of technology. Thank you very much for your responses!
Message Edited by dparker313 on 07-02-2009 05:30 PM

my phone is doing the exact same thing with the voice command popping up intermittently throughout the day. I have reinstalled the software back to the factory specs and this worked for a week or so. I have also pulled battery, changed side buttons, etc and nothing has seemed to actually fix the problem...all just patches. I have already had the motherboard replaced in this phone once and now this. I have only had the phone for maybe 2 months! Thank you for your input.

Voice Dialing problems with Galaxy S3

One of the critical safety features of any phone is the ability to place a call by voice command while driving.
The Samsung Galaxy S III has two major failings in supporting this basic need. Problems with S Voice and problems placing calls from a locked phone using a bluetooth headset.
S Voice supports voice dialing, although rather poorly. S Voice is slow to process what I've said (unlike voice typing in every other app) and frequently fails due to "network error".
But worst of all, if I set S Voice to never auto-dial (because I want to confirm that it hasn't misrecognized who I am trying to call), rather than reading me the name it matched and asking me if I want to dial, it only displays the match on-screen, which is useless when driving.
Even if I am willing to trust S Voice to auto-dial, there is still a fatal flaw in voice dialing that I haven't found a way around.
In the phone app, under call settings, Accessory settings for call, Outgoing call conditions, you are able to set whether, when using a bluetooth headset, you are able to use the headset's call button to place a call when the phone is locked.
The problem is the phone's definition of "locked".
If the phone's security is set to only need to swipe the screen to unlock, this feature works as you would expect. However, anyone who is concerned about security of their data would never consider this setting as locked.
If you have your phone's security set to require anything other than a swipe, be it face recognition, PIN, pattern or password, you are unable to place a call using your bluetooth headset's call button.
In other words, there is no safe way to place a call while driving unless you leave your phone with no security.
Ignoring for the moment the significant shortcomings of S Voice for dialing, as delivered to the customer you can not safely use your Galaxy S3 to place a call while driving.
Has anyone found a way to place a call when the screen is locked with a PIN?
Better yet, has anyone found a voice dialing app that works on the Samsung Galaxy S3 as a replacement for S Voice?
Any suggestions on how to get the Galaxy S III to match the capabilities of every other phone I've ever owned will be greatly appreciated.

THANK GOODNESS, someone to feel my pain! LOL On some other forums, I have been attacked for complaining about S-Voice. All of you just described what I am going through. And like Adamant, I am probably going to take the phone back tomorrow. And, also, like Adamant, I don't want to! Dang it! I just want to use my phone HANDS FREE! I have contacted Verizon, Samsung and Jawbone and am more confused than before. Samsung said my phone was too smart for my bluetooth! And that there was nothing they could do about my phone not recognizing my sister's name. This is my favorite example: I say 'Call Rite Aid Pharmacy' simple enough. Phone says 'I can do an internet search for 'Call Rite Aid Pharmacy' !!!!!!!! About enough to make me want an iPhone! not really. But I am going to trade 'down' for a Razr Maxx, I think?
I had no problems with my MOTO Razr! oh yeah, one more thing...S VOICE <Comment deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.> ...I could go on; but won't

Held hostage by voice dialing

Please, please, please make it stop . . . this program that I never use keeps hijacking my phone for 20-30 minutes at a time, can't hear callers, they can't hear me, disconnects my calls and switches to "voice dialing" . . . is there any solution other than getting a new phone . . . why is this happening? I see people on other forums having the same problem but I don't see any response from blackberry, please help us blackberry wan kenobi, you are our only hope . . . .

Do you have your Voice Activated Dialing set to one of your side convenience keys?
If so, remove it.
Options > Screen/Keyboard, look at the left or right side convenience key.
That should handle it.
If you want to remove the VAD completely from the device, please post back for the details.
