Voice Commands

9. Voice Commands
Voice commands transform your device into your own virtual personal
assistant, letting you use your voice to make phone calls, look up
contacts, play and control your music, and so on.
Before using voice services, note the following:
• Voice commands are language-dependent. They are not dependent
on the speaker’s voice.
• Voice commands are sensitive to background noise. Use them in a
quiet environment.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid
similar names for different numbers.
Note: Using voice commands may be difficult in a noisy
environment or during an emergency, so you should not rely
solely upon voice dialing in all circumstances.
■ Activate and Use Voice Commands
To activate the voice commands function, select MENU > SETTINGS &
TOOLS > Tools > Voice Commands, or press the Voice Command key
(see "Phone at a Glance," p. 11). The following options are displayed:
1. Call <Name> <Loc> — say "Call" and then a name or a phone
number from your Contact List. For example, "Call Tom Smith",
"Call Tom Smith’s mobile", or "Call 617 515 212".
2. Send <Msg Type> — say "Send Message" and the command will
prompt you for the type of message. After choosing the desired
message type (Text, Picture, or Video), the system will ask you for
the contact name or number.
Or, if you say a full-sentence command such as "Send text to Tom",
the command will prompt you to confirm the message and ask for
the contact number. It will automatically start a message based on
the message type you asked.
