Incoming call announce w/ MSVC 1.6 and winmo 6.5?

[inswva]

I've searched high and low (here, google, xda-developers) and haven't yet stumbled upon the fix for the issue I'm experiencing.

I'm running Tplane37's 21501 6.5 build and MSVC 1.6.19209. Voice command works great except I'm not getting incoming call announcements. I tried to revert to 1.6.17913 but that totally freezes my phone at boot up.

FWIW, incoming call announcements were working great on Winmo 6.1 (DCD 3.2.6) and MSVC 1.6.17913.

Thoughts?

there is fix, ill see if i can find it for you.

Edit-Couple of Reg Edits. I had this saved to a Word Document, as soon as i find the thread, i will post the link here to give credit where credit is due.

As stated before, this registry edit gets announcements to work:

Edit this registry key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
Change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring

As originally stated, it works, but sounds level is low. To increase the sound level, I did this edit:

HKCU\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Voice Command1\AttenutationCategory

I set it to 4 which is decent, you can go to 5, but I see no difference going louder. Using 0 or 1 will make it whisper quiet.

If that does not make it louder, then edit:
HKCU\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Ring\AttenutationCategory

Same thing, set to 4 or 5.

I didn't have to make any changes to InitVol registry settings as previous people stated.

Now the phone will speak callers name and phone type (IE, "home"), if my BT headset is enabled then it will spreak it over the headset instead.

I also like it better when "Michelle" talks a little slower, as previously stated that can be changed by editing:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices \DefaultTTSRate

Mine defaulted to 5, I dropped it to 1 which is normal/slightly slow talking. I think I might bump it up to 2 at some point.

it's been discussed a million times before.... i'm not blaming the OP for bringing this up again, i'm blaming MS for not releasing a new retail version of VC in about 3 years.

MSVC will not read incoming text messages with winmo 6.1 on the mogul on any sort of consistent basis whatsoever. if it did, i would get a lot more sleep at night because i wouldn't have to get up to read.

wouldnt you have to be awake to listen to MSVC say your text anyways???

I would have to turn my ringer volume off at night when I either get text / email messages. I never had much of a problem with it...I'm on wm6.5 now; Just make sure that "High Priority Messages only " isn't checked, that worked for me.

Is there a reg hack for MSVC to not read emails! Text messages i love to hear those, but not every email! Someone help?
