MS Voice Command

[DeniaL]

is there a way to program Voice Command to learn new programs or commands? Like if I want it to learn iGuidance or PocketRadio?

I'm not sure about training VC, as I just installed VC yesterday, but I can comment on its ability to load iGuidance. At first VC would not recognize the command "Start iGuidance," but it all depends on how you pronounce it. Try not to make "iGuidance" sound like two words, and try pronouncing it in different ways.

yeah it should know all of your programs... just pronounce it like it wants it pronounced. although you will get really crazy things to happen sometimes. like it opened notes when i said call somebody.

Can't you just make a new shortcut to the app in your start menu, and call it whatever you want, eg "Start Natalie Portman" etc?
Just rename iguidance.lnk to Natalie Portman.lnk etc?

I don't know, I never use Voice Command like this personally, but I would imagine it should work.

There's no training VC... one of the reasons I like it so much. It has an internal set of commands which are documented in the Help file included with the purchase. If, however, you only have access to the warez "cab" file executable then you won't have that ...

MS has this ... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/voicecommand/tutorials.mspx

I have the original help file SOMEWHERE ... not sure where ..

It's not perfect and it makes a few mistakes but it's pretty impressive. I use it every single day, can't imagine a PDA without it.

i figured it out earlier. basically it knows all your programs. you just have to use the ''start program name'' and it'll work.
