Talk to Your Phone

Talk to Your Phone
Your Fire phone features a growing number of speech-powered features to help you get things done by
simply asking. These capabilities range from dictation - allowing you to enter text by talking - to being able
to ask your phone to make calls, send text messages, and much more.
Dictation
Use voice dictation anywhere you use your keyboard. Dictate an e-mail or text message, search the web,
or write a note.
To use dictation, bring up the keyboard, and then tap the microphone icon. Speak clearly into your phone's
microphone. Once you've paused or finished speaking, your phone will display the corresponding text.
To insert punctuation or format your text, simply say the punctuation mark, such as "comma", "question
mark", or "new line". The dictation feature will insert the proper mark or format. For example, saying "Hi
John comma how are you question mark" will be recorded as "Hi John, how are you?" in your text
message.
