I Hate Voice Command
 

I'm so mad, I finally tried it today while driving home. It's useless. I cannot get it to recognize my voice when there's any background noise at all, and doing 80 on the highway, believe me - there's noise. It only works in a very quiet environment, but not in the car where I need it the most.
I simply don't get it - does anybody use it at all? How?

I want the old recorded voice program back. It was nice, fast and it worked without any problem at all. Is there any way I can get it?

All I need is to be able to record couple short names and call them while driving. How hard it can be?

Isn't the normal speed limit like 65 anyways?

However Handster has a type of voice recognition app, but it requires you to record your voice for each action. So it's not as "smart" as MS's version, but it's well featured.

I like MS Voice Command, it works well with my bluetooth and does what I need (in general). However it does lack a few things, like a better voice synthesizer. My TeleNav text to speech is better then Microsoft's version, and I can't add calendar events or choose a specific Song by TITLE not by vague groups like Artist, Album and Genre.

Overall it came with the phone with no additional costs, so I can't complain. But there are alternatives out there... Too bad XDA doesn't have anything in the works...(to my knowledge).

I use it constantly with my Bluetooth headset. Works very well and I'm in my car all day.
Are you trying to use it with a headset; the wired headset that comes with it, or just speaking to it?

This is exactly what I need. I don't need my phone to be smart, just to be able to call 5-6 contacts using voice. I actually prefer pre-recorded commands because then I can simply say "Tom" instead of "Call Tom ... mobile"

And, yes. I'm using a BT headset (BlueAnt). It works. I just tried recording a message and it sounds perfectly fine.

Another question is - do I need to somehow uninstall VC before installing another application? How can I do this?
