Default talking keypad

I remember when I had a good ol MPX-200, there was some modifications that could be done with sound files being added so that when dialing, the phone would say the number being pressed. It was a nice waste of time...I searched for the Q and found nothing. Has it been done?

I saw the registry keys the other day for just that. I would guess you just replace the files in the \Windows folder called dtmf0.wav - dtmf9.wav. I'd recommend keeping backups of the original files.

I don't have the voice of a hot british chick like the old set up was unfortunately...

I did find the old tweak to do it though while searching
here are the old instructions



System Sounds
There are many sounds that you can change on the phone, including dtmf keypad tones (the tone it makes when you press a number while dialing), the startup sound, menu popup sound etc.

Below are the instructions how to change these, and many more:

First of all, grab a voice theme from here and copy the sounds across to your phone (preferably the storage card).

The next thing to do is to turn the keypad tones on by going to Programs>Settings>Sounds.

You'll notice that after you have made this change the really annoying keypad sound has come back again, so lets turn it off...
With the Registry Editor, change the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/Keypress
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the p value (the value should now be blank)

Now lets change our first Dtmf tone:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/
then choose your Dtmf number (0-9, also # and *)... Dtmf0, Dtmf1 etc
Select 'Values'
Rename 'Sound' to 'Sound2'(or somethin, doesnt really matter, but better than deleting, just in case you wanna change it back at a later date)
Select Menu>New Value>String
Value name: Sound
Value Data: pathname of the wav(eg, i have installed the sounds onto my storage card in a dir called keypad, so, value data: Storage Cardkeypad1.wav for Dtmf1)

and just repeat for all of the keypad tones ( you can actually speed up the process by copying and pasting the values and just changing the wav number).

Other sounds that can be changed are:

'battery.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/LowBattery
'sms.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SMS
'mail.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/E-Mail
'menupopup.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/MenuPopup
'menucommand.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/MenuCommand
'alert.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemExclamation
'info.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemAsterisk
'confirm.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemQuestion
'error.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/Warning
'callerror.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/CallDrop
(make sure category is set to InCall)
'dialing.wav'
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/Dialing
(make sure category is set to InCall)

Sounds better than the nasty standard keypad tones eh!

If sound still doesnt work, make sure your system sound is set high enough in your profile... (programs>settings>profiles, menu>edit 'normal' profile, System Sound Volume, i use Loud, but set it to what you see fit)

Please note, going into the Settings>Sounds menu may reset some of these values (especially the warning sounds), keypad tones survive, but, the darned keypad tone is lost, so you'll have to change that to tone, and remove the 'p' from the keypress registry key as mentioned above to remove the annoying keypress click.

Of course, you dont need to use all of these if you dont wish, it's entirely up to you
