13. 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, 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 tags 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 voice commands, from Standby Mode, select
Settings & Tools
Command key
options are displayed:
Call <Name> <Loc>
number from your Contact List. For example, "Call Tom Smith",
"Call Tom Smith's mobile", or "Call 617 515 212".
Send <Msg Type>
type of message. After choosing the message type, you are asked
for the contact name or number.
If you say a full-sentence command, such as "Send text to Tom",
you are asked to confirm the message and give the contact
number. The corresponding message editor opens.
