Does Voice Command Anoounce Calls?

bhopki001 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-13-2009, 11:04 PM

I was looking into the Voice Command options and there is an option that says that the TP can announce incoming calls. I checked the box but to no avil is it announcing incoming calls. Question is does it really work... and if so how do you make it work?

I want to learn how it announces texts/emails too. I tried reading the documentation that MS provides, but it makes no mention of the feature since it seems to be new.

good question. i've been trying to activate this as well. my old treo used to announce the name or number.

yes it does but i believe you need a patch that duttythroy from xda developers made that makes this work with newer voice command builds!

hold up,easy
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)

The reg above is to enable announcing callers,it works and it is working
Announcing text and email is just a matter of going to setting/VC/ check option you like.

When I made the above changes it stopped attempting to announce on the bluetooth headset. Before these changes any ringtone would go through my bluetooth headset. I get the annoucement through the speaker but does not annouce via bluetooth which is how I have the settings. Annouce using bluetooth handsfree only. Any suggestions?

Did you check the VC settings, settings in reg that you changed?It worked perfect for me. Maybe you should check the ringtone stettings and check none in ringer, so it is just VC.
