Use Your BlueTooth Headset With Voice Command On A JasJar
The i-Mate JasJar comes with a program for voice dialing called Voice Speed Dial, or SDDialer.exe. It works like your typical voice dialing feature commonly found on phones. You have to create a voice tag for everyone you want to dial. Voice Command from Microsoft, however, leverages the power of the Windows Mobile OS. It reads all of your contacts and when you say "Call Jeff Smith on mobile" it recognizes "Call" as a command to dial a number from contacts, it will match your saying "Jeff Smith" to the appropriate contact and will then dial the number you have in the mobile field. It is pretty accurate. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with bluetooth headsets. You have to speak into the Pocket PC mic for it to work and can then use the headset to handle the rest of the call.
By hacking the registry, you can swap out the sddialer.exe with the voicecmd.exe app. This allows you to press the button on the headset, you hear Voice Command respond with the beep, give your command, it will repeat the command through the headset if so configured then wait for you to say "Correct" or "Cancel" and then dial. The steps are:
� Install Voice Command to the default location.
� Fire up a registry editor
� Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\?VoiceCommand
� Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
This JasJar hack and lots of other extremely useful hacks and tips are available at the XDA-Developers.com Universal Registry page. Remember, you are on your own with registry hacks. Done improperly, you can render your device unusable requiring a hard reset, so proceed at your own risk. :wink:

Thanks Raphael. I always try to give attribution to the original person, but XDA-Developer's page gives no credit. :|

May be a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway - what about i-mate K-Jam users who have Voice Command, will this work for them as well????

Another good news is that this hack is included in the incoming version of Tweaks2K2 for those guys that don't like to touch the registry

That's great news. I'm so risk adverse that I tend to only edit my registry with simple or automated hacks. I know there's a lot that I could do if I had the guts to do so, but letting Tweaks2K2 take care of it for me feels much safer.
