Voice Command for Windows Mobile
I have tried Voice Command for Windows Mobile devices and it works great with the X1 Xperia.
Look for the Bluetooth headset and microphone symbols when giving Voice Command instructions.
To use Voice Command I press the activation button on my HBH-660 Bluetooth headset and I hear a metallic ring in my ear and a microphone symbol appears in the program bar of my X1 Xperia. I can then give my spoken instruction.
Making Calls
I say "Call John Smith" and the robot voice in my ear asks me "Call John Smith at Home Work or Mobile?". I then say "Mobile" and the voice confirms "Mobile" and then dials the number. Brilliant!!!
Receiving Calls
Similarly when I receive a call the voice in my ear announces the name of the caller in a robot voice.
Launching Applications
Use Voice Command to launch application.
I say "Start Google Maps" and Google Maps will start and will even find my current location.
If I want to start GpsCycleComputer then I need to ne a little clever because Voice Command doesn't understand "G P S" unless it is spelt that way so I have to "GpsCycleComputer" with a G as in "Great". Now it works.
Configuration
Read the help text thoroughly to learn all the possible voice commands.
Using my X1 Xperia I couldn't create a command button but Voice Command does work perfectly with the activation button on my HBH-660 Bluetooth headset.
Voice Commander integrates completely with Windows Mobile and there is only 1 settings screen.
Tell Voice Commander to use the Bluetooth hands free only which ensures that your phone won't start talking to you in meetings.
Troubleshooting
On my X1 Xperia I couldn't configure a command key for Voice Command but this was not a problem because the activation button on my HBH-660 Bluetooth headset works fine.
Since installing Voice Command I have has one phone freeze which required me to remove the battery to restart and I have experienced an obstinate robot voice in my ear who refused to understand anything I said until I performed a soft reset of my X1 Xperia phone. Hopefully it will settle down with use.
