The phone part is definitely not my primary use for my TP.
So I'm good to go on the suggested reg fix.



So am I to understand that the fix is to repeatedly call yourself until it works?? I did the registry edits and that didn't work. In the Volatile folder there is no TSCCallerID.wav file. There are only a lot of files that start with XMEInst. What am I missing here?

Just checking: make sure you have Voice Command set to announce incoming calls in the VC settings (click "phone", "options", "announce incoming calls") as noted earlier in this thread. Otherwise it probably won't generate the wav file.

Every manual install I have tried always has a failure message, just click OK, and continue on. After a screen or two it states installation was sucessful. Once installed, I do a soft reset.

First see if Voice Commands even works, run the executable from Start/Programs or FileExplorer manually look for the EXE file named "voicecmd.exe" located in either "\Program Files\MS Voice Command" or sometimes "\Windows".

Once you run it you should get a beep and should have a microphone icon. It will only last for a few seconds, say the world "help". The phone should respond by speaking the name of available help topics. If not, try running it again. Hold the phone about 9 inches from your mouth, no need to try and eat the thing.

If your incoming announcements don't play, it's likely that VC is still working fine. You can test this by looking for this file on your device using FileExplorer.

My Device\Application Data\Volatile\TSCallerID.wav

Double tap the file to play it in Media Player, it should speak out the contents of it (last caller). If this works, then you know Voice Commander is working fine, its the phone not playing it.

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.


Yay I finallyh got it working! i just did a Google search for MSVC1.6.19214, downloaded it and installed it to my phone. My phone said there was an error and restarted itself. Then I redid the registry edits and voila! The edits to make it louder did not increase the volume at all and the edit to make it slower didn't work either. But I am going to keep playing around with it and see if I can figure it out.

My wifes diamond has no problem with voice command.

When I first got my phone it worked for a day. I must have changed something but I cant seem to figure it out. One thing I did notice is that some of the setting, for example if you have only your blue tooth ring and not your phone you can answer the call with your phone button or blue tooth button and talk with them using your bluetooth, but if you have both your phone and blue tooth ring and you answer using the phone button then you will not be using the blue tooth until you hit the blue tooth button. Stupid if you ask me

What worked best for me is to do the first registry edit (changing VoiceCommand1 to Ring) and skipping the second edit. That gets me a nice clean announcement whereas if I make the second edit as well, the ring and announcement overlap each other.

Hello 82tarheel,

I have the same issue I do not see the wav as well in My Device\Application Data\Volatile\TSCallerID.wav?

TIA,
azbobs
