The following are some useful hints:
Acronyms such as "MTV" are pronounced as expected by spelling out the
•
characters ("Em Tee Vee").
Note: There is no need for pauses between the characters. Just say "MTV" normally.
All CAPS words that are pronounceable as English words (such as "PAL" or
•
"COMCAST" above) are treated as Acronyms and will only be recognized with their
acronym pronunciation (e.g., "Pea Ay El").
Note: If "COMCAST" appears in the contact list as an acronym with all CAPS, saying "comcast" may result
in incorrect recognition. A suggestion would be to type "Comcast" in your contact list.
