Voice Dialing Tips and Tricks
There are a few ways to speed up the voice command process. You can also customize
the way voice dialing works on the BlackBerry.
To Make Voice Dialing Calls Quicker
When using Voice Command, give more information when you place the call. For
example, if you say ''Call Martin Trautschold, Home,'' the voice dialing program will
only ask you to confirm that you are calling him at home.
The call will then be placed.
