I am now able to activate Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 via a Bluetooth headset on the iMate KJAM! I press the talk button on my Bluespoon AX2, audio transfers to the headset, Voice Command starts, I say something… Voice command does it, and I can hear it in the headset. Press the talk button again and the audio is transferred back to the device. If I press it once to initiate a Voice Command that makes a call, I have to press the talk button once to end the call and again to end the audio gateway.
Here’s how you do it:
In the Windows folder there’s a file called sddialer.exe. This is the Voice Tags program currently activated by a Bluetooth button press. All you do is copy voicecmd.exe to a temporary folder, rename it to sddialer.exe and copy it to the Windows folder overwritting the original. You might want to back-up the original sddialer.exe just in case.
After that, all is well and Voice Command functions as above!
UPDATE:
Turns out there’s an easier/better way to do this in the registry.
With a registry editor go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/
..and change the path value to point to VoiceCommand like so:
Program FilesVoiceCommandvoicecmd.exe
