Project VCABT - Voice Command Activation over Bluetooth

[rmg]

UPDATED 11/12/05
Just to clarify. This patch enables you to launch Voice Command (or any other app) by pressing your bluetooth headset button. It DOES NOT transfer sytem audio to the headset OR allow you to issues Voice commands via the headset. Its still a top peice of work tho ;-)

Some people also have an issue where the BT headset audio receiver will stay on indefinitely using up its battery unless you place a call or turn it off.

I dont get this issue. YMMV!

There is now a working patch to enable BT Audio streaming to STEREO BT headsets only.

Dear all.

There is now a working hack to allow voice dial activation from a bluetooth headset.

NOTES
1. This hack DOES NOT transfer system audio to the headset via bluetooth. That is still being worked on.

2. This hack only works on the HTC Magician.

To date it has worked on all Magician types including:
iMate Jam
Qtek S100 S110
MDA Compact
Orange M500
VPA Compact
XDA MINI

Instructions:

Download the zip and install the cab file to enable the hack. Thats it! :-)

Note:
The cab file will place a copy of voicecmd.exe in /windows and rename it to Voice Signal Launcher.exe

If you use another voice activation program you will have to copy the .exe, put it in /windows and rename it to Voice Signal Launcher.exe


If you have any questions not covered here please ask them in the thread and somewill help :-)

Hi, I am making a new thread for all discussion related to getting voice command working over bluetooth, i.e you push the button on your headset and the Voice Command activates. This functionality has been achieved on the Eten M500, which uses the M$ bluetooth stack See http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools Stack the Bluetooth implemented in the Eten M500 has been realized from the same Eten on the base of stack the Microsoft. The society has enriched it, and this is now in a position to offering the following profiles: Service Discovery, Headset and Hands-free, Dial-up, Object Exchange, Generic Access, Serial Port and Gateway-audio. This last one is of great importance, since beyond guaranteeing I listen of the sounds of system or the reproduced MP3 in cap (optional), allows the operation of the application Voice Commander (about which we will speak in the next page), concurring to directly command the device from a Bluetooth earpiece. E' instead absent profile PAN (Person Network Area), that it would have allowed the device to approach Internet in presneza of points of Bluetooth access. We need a dump of the Eten M500 rom, and then we need someone with more braincells than me ;-) to extract the Bluetooth stack.... Is this possible / doable?

Yess please!!! That's what we've been waiting for the whole time!!!

Let's make it work, ppl!

Did you notice if your JAM is in sleep mode pusing button on the headset actually wakes it up? At least, that what happenes with my Bluespoon AX, also it supports last number dialing by pressing volume buttom fro more that 2 sec. It prooves that JAM understands keypresses on the headset! Even on pre-production MPX unit it worked with MS stack!

[rmg]

Did the MPX have the M$ stack?

It may be easier to get a rom dump of that rather than the ETEN,

IIRC it was only the pre production MPX's that enabled VC over BT?

Does anyone here own a Pre ProMPX or an Eten 500?

There are many people on HowardForums that have both phones.

The hard part is to get them to do it.

i can hang up a call with my scala500 bluetooth headset, it just will not answer.....

[ID64]

From what I can see on this translated page, ETEN has a bit more advanced bt stack than JAM. I am not sure, if that is MS newer stack or ETEN's customized stack. Either way, I want it.

[duke911]

as far as I know.. the BT stack used by E-Ten 500 is made by the same company that made the device....

I hope we can get this to work.... :wink: it's very nice to have something more advanced the stupid M$ BT stack...

Hello guys.I have an .exe file that is a firmware upgrade for Eten P700 that probably have the same bt stak that M500,because it is using voice command 1.5 from Cyberon.
If any one want to try to play with that .exe i can upload it to somewhere.

[ID64]

Can you upload it please to XDA-DEV ftp site?
