Voice Dialing Software

Is there a version available that allows one to speak to the software and be understood in English and not a southern US drawl?
If I ask the software to dial the mobile number it does not understand 'mo-bile' to be understand you have to pronounce it like the oil company as 'mo-bil' and so on.
This dialect makes the software almost unusable if one is pronouncing English as it is used in England or most parts of Canada. Oh, and forget trying to make it understand the name Verreault or similar French Canadian names.

are you referring to the Voice dial Command that is shipped with your device?
You can try VLingo ; it's not available for the Storm yet, but I installed the Bold version. Does not work very well with a french accent, but maybe better with yours. It's free so you can give it a try.

755p Voice Dial with BlueTooth

I've searched all over the place for help with my quest to make my Treo 755p "Smart" phone have bluetooth voice dial capabilities. What seems to be out-of-the-box functionality for many normal phones (no "smart" in their name) is apparently difficult to achieve with the Treo 755p, and apparently with all Treos from what I've seen so far. Here's the conclusion that I'm coming to, but I just can't believe it, so I'm posting this here in the hopes the experts (that's you guys) will either correct my misunderstanding, or (hopefully not) confirm that I'm on the right track.
APPARENTLY:
Voice dial capability is not part of the Treo 755p; one has to install a 3rd party program or service to gain this functionality. There are a few good options out there, but they do cost additional money.
Voice dial programs apparently work pretty good with the wired headsets that come with the Treo package. Apparently (although I have not tested it yet) pressing the button on the side of the treo or one the wired headset can be configured to activate the voice dial software, and the user can speak into the wired headset microphone to dial by voice.
Extra digit dialing is apparently not supported by most (if any) of the software I've seen that works on the Palm platform. (This is hard to tell exactly, because some software works only for the windows platform, which I don't have.)
Bluetooth headsets configured in hands-free mode will launch the voice-dial software, but I've found that the treo does not connect the voice dial software to the bluetooth headset, so instructions are not heard through the headset and the headset microphone is ignored for voice dialing. Others have apparently had the same issue, from what I've seen posted in this forum and on other fora as well.
The only method I've heard of anyone successfully using a bluetooth headset for voice dialing with a Treo is to bypass the Treo Bluetooth Handsfree mode, purchase an extra bluetooth adapter meant to add bluetooth capabilities to non-bluetooth phones, and then pair the headset with that adapter. This adapter typically costs $10-20, but is sort of big and must clip to your phone or to your belt. This adapter plugs itself into the treo's headset jack and simulates a wired headset. Apparently this mode works well, for yet more cost and additional bulk with makes it difficult to fit the phone into standard casings and/or take the phone out to work with the PDS without unplugging it.
One such adapter is the Cardo "Node" (http://www.cardowireless.com/node/434), but you can't buy it from their website anymore so I'm looking for other options.
I've heard that Jabra also has one, but I'm not sure of the model number, price, or form-factor.
Am I on track with this? This just doesn't sound right to me. I've seen postings that users have had this issue from the earliest Treo models, so I would have thought that Palm would have addressed it by now. I've always thought of Palm as a reputable and responsive company, so I'm hoping I've missed the "silver bullet" solution. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.

I hope Palm is listening.
It was good to see others as frustrated as I am about the Treo’s glaring deficiency – kind of a support group. I kept thinking I must be wrong because I traded up from a dumb phone and couldn’t believe my new palm is incapable of Bluetooth voice dialing.
The voice dialing companies all say it’s a problem with the Treos. I have asked the people at Palm and, though they are very nice, they haven't been able to help. The people I spoke with didn’t seem to understand what I wanted and then spent a great deal of time trying to find the answer. In the end, they confirmed: you can get Bluetooth with a Treo, and you can get voice dialing with a Treo, but you can't get voice dialing over Bluetooth. They didn't know if a solution was in the works.
I am really puzzled about this problem. How hard can this be? As Bob Smiley said, you can get a Bluetooth adapter to simulate a wired headset, and any one of us could superglue it to the Treo, but why?
It seems to me that this is such a basic function that, especially with all the upgrades, they should be able to fix it easily. My impression is that no one at Palm is working on this and that no one is scheduled to work on this, but I hope I’m wrong.

IPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
2. go to (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
3. disable Voice Dial
4. go back and disable Siri
hope this could help you!!

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!

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!

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.

N95 8GB restarts when trying to use Voice Dial on ...

Ok, so when I have my N95 8GB connected to either a line-out speaker or a blue-tooth earphone, the strangest thing happens. When I try to use voice-dial, right after I say the name I want to dial - the phone freezes. When I press any key on the phone, it restarts. Voice dial works fine when no external device is attached, but if I even connect earphones - it breaks. Anyone experienced this? I'm using FW 35.0.001 Thanks, Ambious

It sounds like that where the phone stores the voice tags has become corrupt so that when the unit tries to access them the phone gets unrecognised data which in turn resets the handset.
Take the unit to yur nearest NSC for a software upgrade.
Hope this works for you.

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 !!!!!

Blackberry Curve alarm does not go off because voice dialing is trying to connect

Someone please help me. I have set my alarm with a custom ring tone and escalating, but it has not worked the last three days, where it had for the previous two weeks. I have not changed any settings, so I am not sure what could have possibly happened. Each day I wake up, thank God I have a backup alarm clock, and check my phone in the other room on the charger. It is stuck on the voice dialing activation screen, which is very odd because I have voice dialing disabled. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong and how to fix it? I would much rather wake up to the ring tone that I have chosen as opposed to a regular (and obnoxious) alarm clock. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a software fault.
You need to download the latest version for your device from the carrier the phone was sold with.
Save the folder to your desktop, double click it to install it your computer. (can take 40 mins to download)
Then you connect up the blackberry and using the program called application loader,(which is built into the desktop manager program that came on the cd) push the new software to the device. Ensure when you see an 'advanced' box, you click into it, to check both check boxes to remove all current installed software.
Here is a list of software carrier sites:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/do ... _sites.jsp
And Also
Use BlackBerry Application Loader to install BlackBerry Device Software
Good Luck and let us know how you go..
9/10 times this is a software fault.
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

N82 restart when usign voice dial

Hi,
my N82 with latest firmware restarts when I press the right selection key (voice dial) or use the button on the headphone.
Restart meaning normal reboot sequence with white screen and Nokia logo but no pin code is requested.
If I do a reset to factory setting, then the problem goes away but returns as soon as I reload from backup.
The backup logs show the following files being restored:
Content restored:
- User files
radiostations.db
Installs\nokia_maps_1_0_upgrade_ROM.sis
Search\Search results.m3u
- Full backup
MMSSync
Nokia Maps
Asphalt3
Gmail
I will try uninstalling stuff to find out what is causing the crash but figured I'd ask for some hint here first.
BR,
zola

Thanks for the advice. However, the problem seems to be software related.
1. It doesn't happen when the phone is reset to factory defaults.
2. When it does happen, it happens with the headphone plugged off as well (using the keyboard shortcut).
I'm using V20.0.062. Unfortunately, I can't say if this happened with V11 as well (I hadn't used voice dial in quite a while).

No Voice Dialing

OK....got iphones for wife and I to replace our Razrs...we love em...BUT
We both used voice dialing pretty extensively while driving....does Apple plan to add this feature in a future software upgrade? You can't possibly tell me that a $600 phone doesn't have a feature that my $99 Razr had 3 years ago ?!?

To be honest..I'm not sure how you could even release a phone without basic phone functions - voice dialing and auto answer... what good is a mobile phone that sucks on handsfree basic functions?

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.

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.

Voice dial turns on after Update

Hello,
first, sorry for my bad english.
I have an iPhone 5S. I deactivated Voice Dial (Settings - General - Touch ID - Voice Dial) because my little daughter loves to play with my iPhone. But after any iOS Update, the Voice Dial function is turned on. And after any Update i recognized it after my daughter "call" someone. Hope Apple will fix this bug.

Are you sure you lost the app, or did you just lose the widget? Reason I'm asking is that the small square widget that we had in Gingerbread was replaced by a bar-looking widget in ICS; Google Search and Voice Search are now combined on that bar-looking widget (the Google Search widget mentioned in the earlier post). Since you said that the Play Store said it was installed on the phone, have you verified that by going into Manage Apps and seeing if Voice Search is listed under All?

Voice dial does not confirm nor allow cancel

When I use voice dial (usually via bluetooth headset on iPhone 3GS), if the iPhone decides it has found an exact match, it will notify me of the match and then start dialing. It does not confirm the match with me, and when it starts dialing, the "Cancel" keyword does not work - nor does pressing the call button on my headset do anything.
Instead, I have to frantically dig my phone out of my pocket and scramble to the phone interface and presss "End Call" before the accidental international call goes through.
Is there a way to allow either or both actions in iOS? Or is there a way to submit an enhancement request?
