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!

  • How can I reinitaliz​e 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!

  • 4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

    I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
    Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
    Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
    This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
    I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
    I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
    Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
    All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

        There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

  • 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.....

  • N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

    I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?

    Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
    best regards
    Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
    The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
    A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
    Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!

  • Droid 3 voice dialing issues with bluetooth

    I just received my Motorola Droid 3 on Monday.  I'm having issues using voice dialing with my Samsung WEP590 bluetooth headset.  No trouble activating the voice dialing on the phone but it never dials the correct name.  I did the voice training on the phone but it didn't help.  Yes, English is my native language.   Saying "call home" made the phone ask if I wanted to "email" someone.  Very frustrating since I travel for my job and voice dialing over bluetooth is essential. 
    I tried to do voice dialing without bluetooth and had the same issue.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Is there a third party app I can use?
    thanks for any help.

    Good Afternoon, dtownfb!
    I researched bluetooth information about the device and the headset. I found no related concerns from other users. It would appear to be a hardware related issue on either the phone or headset. Have you been able to use another bluetooth with the device successfully? Have you tried the bluetooth paired with another phone and used the voice dialing feature successfully? We can eliminate the issue by asking these two questions. The problem lies in where we can duplicate the problem. 
    Please advise your findings. If it is deemed an issue with your Droid 3, please feel free to PM me so I can assist further with options to correct the issue.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • Nokia N95 - reset after activating voice dialing

    firmware 11.0.026 for EURO-3
    Every time I press and hold the right selection key to activate voice dialing, a short tone is played, Speak now is displayed, ... and unfortunately phone reset is executed.
    Does anybody have similar experience?Message Edited by slawmilcz on 25-May-200705:58 PM

    I understand that nobody else reports such a problem.
    I don't know what`s wrong, as I never succeeded in this operation.
    When "Speak now" is displayed and progress appears, phone reset is executed every time I try to activate this function.
    I'm not sure if it worked on the previous firmware version of my phone.
    It may only fail in firmware 11.0.026 with product code 0536074 (EURO3).
    Maybe I would have to try firmware 11.0.026 with product code 0534852 (EURO3).
    Is it completely the same firmware?
    I have found information that the product code is different for various colors of phone. Is it really the only difference?

  • E65 voice dialing problem

    I realized that not all the contacts has a voice tag. Is this normal?

    Dear François,
    We should shout all together : ANY BODY FROM NOKIA THERE!!!
    I had this problem once again after having discussed with you. I am in Turkey. I experienced the problem completely the same as you described in your post both with English and Turkish languages on the phone.
    I think this is a problem of comptability of any of the following combinations; Phone Software / PC suite / Windows Vista / and, maybe, the silly Toshiba bluetooth stack I am bedly experiencing since I have changed my laptop for about 15 days ago. Before, it was a heaven with XP + Vidcomm bluetooth drivers.
    I will try to describe my environment parameters and what happens when, just expecting that somebody from Nokia may read and bring a solution to this problem as soon as possible.
    The voice dialing is dieing when you synchronize is with PC suite and try to reach text messages and calender on the phone through PC suite. The way I found to solve the problem is to turn off the synthesiser. Swicth the phone off and then swicth it on again and finally turn the synthisiser on. Here you are. It works and also with contacts. This feature is very important for me because I use this feature with my car kit since a while and I was really happy until I had this problem. It was a big comfort.
    My environment, if anybody from Nokia will be interested in:
    I synchronize my E65 with one Vista laptop, one XP laptop, one car kit (Parrot CK 3000) and one GPS device.
    E65 software version is 3.0633.69.00 06.02.2008 RM208
    PC suite versions I keep using 6.86.9.0 and 6.86.9.3.tur
    NOKIA PLEASE BRING A SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM !!!!!

  • Nokia 6280 Voice Dialing

    Hi Wong here,
    Can any one help me on Nokia 6280.

    Sometimes it helps to change the phone language to non-english and then back to english.

  • I want to disable FaceTime, not voice dialing!

    When I disable FaceTime in the Permissions settings, it completely disallows voice dialing. WHAT? Those are two different things.
    I want voice dialing. I want to tell my phone who to call. However, I don't want to hit that awful annoying hang-up-on-your-conversation FaceTime button.
    Who is the genius who decided that disabling FaceTime disables ALL voice dialing? Please deliver stern reprimand and FIX this as it should be considered a BUG.
    Srlsy, this is more ridiculous than someone sitting at a computer posting a complaint on a message board. Has this bothered anyone else?

    LoL my face is not hitting buttons as the face proximity sensor works fine. I'm referring to touching the screen intentionally but accidentally hitting a button that kills the call (the FaceTime button).
    Anyway, according to my phone, you are mistaken. When I use voicedial to call a contact of mine, it says "I'm not permitted to do that for you. My apologies."
    Actually, it won't even let me voice dial a number if I speak the number! Same message: "not permitted..."

  • 6300 Voice dialing / voice tags

    Hi, have just upgraded from a 6230i to a 6300. The 6230i would let you record your own voice tags to use with voice dialing but I cannot find if this is possible with the 6300. It generates it's own tags but I don't speak like a voice synthesiser so it does not recognise me when I try to use voice dialing. Anyone got any ideas?? If not the phone will be going back (which is a shame because I like it otherwise)
    Thanks
    Dan

    What on Earth are Nokia playing at?
    The voice tag system on my old 6230i was really simple and really fantastic.  Unlike my 6300, I didn't need to say the name as it was spelt for that contact and I didn't need to sound like Stephen Hawking.  It was also easy to provide individual voice tags to particular numbers for each contact.  In contrast, I've only been able to use the voice dialling on my 6300 for dialling the default number for that contact.  This is despite the fact it  seems to recognise that various types of numbers for a particular contact exist because it says "home", "mobile" etc after repeating the name of the contact and before dialling.
    Why why oh why did Nokia make this functionality downgrade to the "upgraded" 6300?
    Does anyone know of a different mobile phone company that uses the same voice dialling system as the 6230i had?  The contract's up for my 6300 upgrade from my 6230i and I could do with finding a phone that uses the old voice dialling system that the 6230i had.

  • IPhone 5s voice dial always asks to confirm

    I am able to voice dial most everyone in my conacts database without problems - except my wife. I say 'Call Jane Smith, mobile" and the display correctly interprets my voice and displays 'Call Jane Smith". Then it asks "Do you mean Jane Smith?" Once I say yes, it dials properly. There are no other Jane Smith's or similar in my contacts, and this extra confirmation step does not happen with other numbers. Any idea what could be causing this, or how I might fix it? Thanks for any help!

    Try syncing it back up and make sure the memos are included in the sync.

  • IOS 8 voice dialing, "Just to confirm..."

    What a huge step backward in the usability of my iPhone.  Instead of telling Siri, "call Mom mobile" and getting the response "calling Mom mobile" followed by the call going through, Siri now responds with, "Just to confirm, would you like to call Mom?".  It may not sound like much but that extra step plus the required response from me makes it slower to use voice dialing than to remove the phone from my pocket and dial the number.  Oh please let there be a way to switch this 'feature' off.

    I ran into the same problem after upgrading to iOS 8 and it's REALLY annoying.
    However, today I stumbled upon something that seems to have fixed the problem on the contacts that I've tried it on so far.
    Here's what I did:
    1) I changed the last digit of the contact's phone number (by adding 1) and then I saved the contact record
    2) I changed the last digit of the contact's phone number back to what it needs to be (by subtracting 1) and then I saved the contact record again
    After I did this, I used Siri to call the contact and she called without the "Just to confirm..." prompt.  I had one or two contacts that this didn't work on right away so I had to repeat the process, but it eventually worked the second time around.
    Again, I just stumbled upon this today so I'm not positive it's a permanent fix but it looks promising so far.
