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.

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

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.

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

I cannot get into my phone as everything I touch on the main screen is voice activated

I cannot get into my phone as it appears to be on voice activation.
When I enter the 4 digit number it then says to me wxyz and then nothing

Voice activation? You mean VoiceOver. Unless you remember going into Settings and enabling it, you must have set a triple-tap shortcut for VoiceOver. Try tapping the home button three times (quickly but not too quickly). If that doesn't resolve the problem, you will have to takie things slow and listen to VoiceOver to unlock the phone. You tap the first digit of your code, then tap it again, then tap the second digit, wait, and tap it again, and so on. Press the home button if you are in an app and slowly swipe your way to the Settings app. Tap the app, wait for it to speak, and tap it again, tap General in the same manner, then scroll down to accessiblility (which will probably require two finger to scroll (scroll in increments), then tap VoiceOver, and then turn VoiceOver off with the switch by tapping the switch, waiting, and tapping it again.

HT1430 my brother pressed the voice activation and now i dont know how to turn it off.... any advice?

Do you mean Voice Control, which lets you speak commands, or VoiceOver, in which a voice speaks items on the screen?
For Voice Control, just press the home button to exit.
For VoiceOver:
Turning VoiceOver On or Off

X3 - 02: Voice activation

Just acquired the X3. Have been used to making a call by use of Bluetooth headset by pressing a button and saying the name of the person I want to call. The old method does not work on this model. Do I have to do something to set up voice activated dialling?

In case anyone thinks of researching this - don't bother.
I have now discovered that this phone does not support voice activated dialling. (Yes - in 2010 this basic Bluetooth function is not provided.) This information has come from a specialist at Nokia , who himself expressed amazement that this is the situation. None of the Sales staff at the shop I bought the phone were aware of this - but they are now, and intend not to push this to other unsuspecting customers.
In short - if you need to use your phone whilst driving, this is not the model for you.

Is voice activated dialling possible from a cark 9...

Apologies if this is really a dumb question.
Having used a Nokia bluetooth headset for years with my Nokia 6310i, and using voice activated dialling from the headset, I've finally had a cark 91 car kit installed in my car. Can I use voice activated dialling? I have them set up on phone but can't work out how to use them when the phone is in the cark 91 cradle. With the headset you had to push the button and speak after the tone, hence confusion now I haven't the headset and a button to push.
Thanks, Sue4089

I tried both methods and, actually both were really easy to do . When I added the DV-AVI file to the timeline and used the Motion properties to scale to 133% (constrained--so both height and width were enlarged), I lost the text I had in the title slide. Then I checked the photos--heads were cut off and on captions under the photos, the last line was missing. (I had enlarged the canvas in PSE and added text.) I tried reducing the scaling to about 80% which would maintain the captions, which may work--though I have black bars, but I sure had black bars in widescreen too--especially on the vertical photos.
My test may not be accurate since I don't have a 4:3 TV set any more. I tried the Sidebar setting on my widescreen TV. It may work better on a 4:3 set--I'll try that on someone else's set tomorrow. I had also put text on some photos and each line on the right side was cut off too. Without thinking I tried to edit it and move it--of course I couldn't because it was "fixed" in the avi file.That's the reason I had asked about editing the prel so I could start the 4:3 project and use everything I had already done in the 16:9 project and everything would still be editable. The draw back on scaling with that method is I have to do each photo individually unless there is a way to batch scale. Is there?
I am going to have to do more experimenting and viewing on a 4:3 set to decide which way works best for me.
Thank you so much for your suggested solutions

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?

Voice Activated Software

I am currently exploring the potential of allowing a user to access SAP and process various transactions through Voice Activated Software.
Has anyone had any experience of this or know of any solutions that are proven to integrate with SAP?

Does MacListen take over general control of the computer? I mean does it do commands such as "Switch to Firefox" and will it run application-specific applescripts?
How does MacListen compare with say Dragon Naturally Speaking, traditionally best in the field?
Is McListen any more reliable than the speech recognition software bundled with apple? Can it be trained so that when, for the tenth time I say "switch to firefox" and for the tenth time it switches to x-code, I can press a button saying "no you got it wrong", and when at last it gets it rigfht I can reward it by pressing an equivalent button?

Voice activated music selections

I purchased the Ipod Touch 4th generation. Howcome I do not have the 'voice activated' icon available?

have you pressed and held the Home button? From the Users Guide:
Use Voice Control: Press and hold the Home button until the Voice Control screen
appears and you hear a beep. Then use the commands described below to play songs.

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.

"Cannot play media while voice activated dialing is active"

When i downloaded the youtube app today, i wasnt able to play it, and the notification came up that it "Cannot play media while voice activated dialing is active". The same thing happened when i tried to listen to music, and when i recieve a call it only vibrates, due to the fact that voice dialing is on. However, when i try to open the voice dialing app, it wont open, not even when i press the convenience button. Ive also changed the options on the voice dialing options and disabled everything i could, but the same message comes up. Its quite annoying, and when i phoned vodafone they told me they had no information on this matter... great help! so id be glad if someone could figure this out for me. Im a bit of a technology-**bleep**, so it might be the easiest thing ever, but im clueless!
thanks

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!

IPhone 4s - Voice mail Button - Settings required

Hi Apple and all
I have an iPhone 4s in London UK. it is unlocked so I didnt want to go with expensive contracts like O2. So I am using a cheap contract from company called TalkMobile.
Talkmobile provide better signal and cheaper line of sim only contracts. This has worked well for me as I am now paying £8 a month for my 300 min contract and 500MB data in comparison to £21 O2 contracts.
Talkmobile dont have Visual Mail service but have voice mail service that they charge for it. So I switch it off. (dialed 1210) that mean no one calles my voice mail. I suspriped to an app voice mail service called HulloMail. and that works great for me because I use it to personalise my voice mail and allot more security on it.
My question is.
How can I change the voice mail button to point to Hullomail app instead.
or
How can I disable the voice mail button all together.
or
How do I switch off the voice mail button with a password or something.
Reason why I want it changed is because even though I disabled people calling to my voice mail via the network provider. The iPhone will still call my voice mail if I press the voicmail button and I will be charged £0.10p for everytime I press it, to be honest at the moment its nusence to me, because MY FAT Finngers press it everytime I press the call app and accidantely (with my FAT Fingers) press it.
Surely this was a bad design by apple in the first place where by users cant disable, change, restrict or modifiy the voice mail button. If this cant be done then need to be fixed by Apple.

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?
