Wired Headset mapped to voice command?

[vbguru613]

if we can get the bluetooth headset then why not the wired headset?

I agree fully...i need the wired headset for my motorcycle...i need to be able to access voice command from my wired headset button. There must be a way to do this!

I've written an app to do this, but it's not released yet. One day... gotta turn it into something useful.

There are many people looking for a program that'll do it.

There is a program that seems to work for some (talk button detector), but doesn't for many.

When you release the program, where will we be able to find it, vijay555?
Thanks

If and when it's released, it'll be on my website. But it's likely to take a while because I want to mash it together with some other features and functions, and I'm writing some other intensive apps first.

What do you need the app to do, just launch another specified app?

Thanks for the reply Vijay.

The only feature I seem to need would be running a voice dialer application like Voice Speed Dial that comes with MDA, or Voice Commander, so that I can not only receive but also make calls through the wired headset. Maybe while the voice application is running, pressing the button again should close the application.

My original Cingular Rom had this function, so did another one i flashed later(can't remember specific). Sadly most Roms do not support this. Talkbutton seemed like the answer but didn't work for me. I also tried a cab from the Hermes section, but no success on 8125.

Perhaps someone could extract the files from one of the official Roms, or Vijay555 could, perhaps, share some info on this, when he is free, as he seems to be the only one that has this figured out.

Thanks in advance

I'm afraid I'm not in a position to share info on it right now, it's some R&D I did a while back but I haven't had a chance to chase it up further yet to turn it into an app. Once I do, I'll need to tighten it up into a more comprehensive app. I will do it though.

I'll try to look into it soon, maybe a standalone is possible.

i remember having a panasonic walkman, an old fashioned tape player, yet it was nice. one of it's best features was a remote with only one button, that reacted to long/single/double/tripple press with acordingly: reverse, pause/play, FF, REV. this was great, and times was like 1995? wish i could do it with wizard's talkbutton, i was hoping to find an app like this, but no luck so far. vijay, i really believe you can do this... and it has been a while since you last posted here, maybe theres been some progress on your work? (sorry if i sound demanding;)

[vijay555]

The app works as far as I need to it to, but it would benefit from a single button driven "interface", eg one click = launch app, two clicks = close app etc.

However, I've been out of the scene for a few months, and will not be back until the New Year. After that I'll try to start getting back into research.

Good thing to hear! I'm waiting patiently.
Of course it is obvious but i'll ask; would it be customisable?
i know it would be easy to implement config for actions like launching other programs or closing specific ones... i don't dare to hope for something like sending messages to different apps like tcpmp that would allow to switch tracks or other things... i guess i'll try to figure it out myself, but with my poor knowledge of WM api it will be rather a disaster ;]
