Phone Operation
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect Phone
and
to navigate through the Uconnect Phone menu struc-
ture. Voice commands are required after most Uconnect
P
hon
e prompts. There are two general methods for how
Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mobile”.
2. S
ay the individual commands and allow the system to
guid
e you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command and then
guide
d through the available options.
• Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for the
bee
p, which follows the “Listen” prompt or another
prompt.
• For certain operations, compound commands can be used.
For
example, instead of saying “Call” and then “John
Smith” and then “mobile”, the following compound
command can be said: “Call John Smith mobile.”
• For each feature explanation in this section, only the
com
pound command form of the voice command is given.
You can also break the commands into parts and say each
part of the command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound command form voice
command “Search for John Smith,” or you can break the
compound command form into two voice commands:
“Search Contact” and when asked “John Smith.” Please
remember, the Uconnect Phone works best when you talk
in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural Language
Voic
e Recognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in
phra
ses or complete sentences. The system filters out certain
non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh.” The
system handles fill-in words such as “I would like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase or
sent
ence such as “make a phone call” and “to Kelly Smith”.
For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence, the
system identifies the topic or context and provides the asso
-
ciated follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to call?”
i
n t
he case where a phone call was requested but the specific
name was not recognized.
