Audio Caller ID - Motorola Q Forum

joejhawk · 01-16-2007, 10:48 AM

I have seen the question posted here but have never seen a response about the Q's ability to announce the caller id verbally. Is there a program that will tell you who is calling without having to look at the screen? I keep my Q on my hip with a BT headset and it would be much more convenient if I didn't have to remove it to see who is calling me.

There is what some call the "ghetto" method. If you use the AT&T Website, you can get a voice-announcement of the person, then add whatever ringer you want to the end of it using a program like Audacity. Not very friendly, and only works for frequent callers, but it lets you use the same ringer "noise" for all contacts but still be able to audibly distinguish who's who.

I thought that Microsoft Voice Commander was supposed to do it, but in my trials, i have never been able to get it to work.

I would love to have this feature, especially while on headset mode.

Why don't you assign a different ringer to each person? Then you just need to remember what ringer is for who. Kind of a pain in the ass but thats what I do.

The problem with that is I usually have my phone on vibrate, is there a way for it to ring only through the headset?

MS Voice command 1.6 announces tem through bluetooth. You need to have your phone profile setup properly for the handsfree in order to here them.

That is strange. I always keep my phone on vibrate and I have the Motorola H700 and I turn bluetooth on and leave it on. When I flip the mic on the headset open it automatically switches to headset mode, and when I close it it switches back to meeting (vibrate). When I have the headset on all ringtones come through it?!?!? I have done nothing special, that is just how it always worked for me.
