Talk To Your Phone; Voice Commands - Amazon Fire Phone User Manual

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. When you pause or finish 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, if you say, "Hi
John comma how are you question mark," the message is recorded as "Hi John, how are you?"

Voice Commands

Use voice commands to make a call, send an e-mail or text message, search the web, and more.
To use voice commands, press and hold the Home button, and then make your request. Some requests
(such as text messages) may ask you to edit, send, or cancel before the request is processed. Here are
