In the following situations, a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
■ If you do not say any command for
a certain period of time (by default
you are prompted three times to
say a command).
■ If you say commands that are not
recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three
times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either
naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the action.
For best results:
■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
■ Say "Help" or read the example
commands on the screen.
■ The voice prompt can be
interrupted by pressing w again.
■ Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow. Use short and
direct commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command.
For example, "Call David Smith at
work", "Play" followed by the artist or
song name, or "Tune to" followed by
the radio frequency and the
waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state a command
that explains the type of destination
needed, such as "Directions to an
Address", "Navigate to an
intersection", "Find a Place of
Interest", or "Directions to a contact".
The system responds with requesting
more details.
When searching for a "Place of
Interest", only major chains may be
selected by name. Chains are
businesses with at least 20 locations.
Speech recognition
For other POIs, say the name of a
category like "Restaurants",
"Shopping centres", or "Hospitals".
Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567". Examples of these direct
commands are displayed on most of
the screens while a speech
recognition session is active.
If you say "Phone" or "Phone
commands", the system understands
that a phone call is requested and
responds with respective questions
until enough details are gathered. If
the phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example "Call David Smith at work".
Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
