Introduction

The incorporation of a voice recognition unit (VB-44101) in a soft-key telephone (VB-44224) allows you to choose between voice-activated dialing or normal keying in. You can simply speak names stored in the Phonebook to initiate a call to that destination.

This manual describes how to use voice-activated dialing and how to record names, etc. See the Operation Instruction (Section 700) for details of normal key operations.

This manual consists of the following chapters:

	(or Internal call)	ternal) numbers by speaking names recorded in	9
		the Phonebook

6.	Resetting The System	Describes how to reset the system to its state

		voice is restored and the contents of the Phone-
		book deleted.)

•We recommend storing your spoken commands in your own voice in the system to improve the performance of voice recognition.

CAUTION:

• If the system cannot recognize your spoken commands, operate by keys. There is no key equipped on the telephone corresponding to "Repeat" command.

•Your spoken command can be recognized only during Large LED (Message LED) lights Red.

•When a spoken command is not recognized, an error tone is generated. At this point, make sure your spoken command is valid and try again.

•Once entering the voice recognition made, to turn to the OFFHOOK Monitor mode is not available. To use OFF-HOOK Monitor mode, lift the handset and press ON/OFF Key, then press START Key.

Chapter 1. Making an Outside Call

(or an Internal Call)

You can call a number simply by speaking a name stored in the Phonebook. This Chapter describes the procedure.

Notes: • The name and number must be stored in the Phonebook. (See

Chapter 2, "Making a Phonebook Entry" on page 11.)

2. Press the START/END Key (FF12 Key)

(FF12)

NAME TO CALL ?

TOP MENU

READY CALL PROGRAM CHANGE

	01045939
NO	YES

01045939

Note: If no names or telephone numbers have been stored in the Phonebook, the TOP MENU is displayed. When you say "call" at this point, "Phonebook Empty" will be heard. This is your cue to store names and telephone numbers in the Phonebook. (See page 11.)

3.After confirming the Large LED (Message LED) lights Red, speak the name of the person you wish to call.

The system searches the Phonebook for the name closest to the one you have spoken, and Voice Guidance then asks "mm" Right?" to confirm the selection (mm). The telephone number is displayed on the 1st display.

Note: Speak the name using the same voice you used to store the name in the Phonebook. Using a different tone of voice may result in the name not being retrieved.

Example: To call "Panasonic"

Say "Panasonic."→Voice Guidance responds with the question '"Panasonic" Right?'

Note: Your voice will not be recognized if you call the name before the Large LED lights RED.

4.If the name spoken by Voice Guidance is correct, say "Yes." If not, say "No."

•"Yes"

The Splash tone sounds and the telephone number is dialed. Start talking when the phone is answered.

Chapter 1. Making an Outside Call (or an Internal Call)	Section 770 Voice Recognition Telephone

•"No"

The search continues to the next closest name in the Phonebook.

Voice Guidance then asks "" Right?" to confirm the selection (). The telephone number is displayed on the 1st display. If this is not the desired number, say "No" to repeat the search one more time. If there is no registration close to your pronunciation, an error tone will be issued. If, on the 3rd attempt, the correct number is not found, operation returns to "Call Who?". One possibility is that you are saying the name using a different tone or in a different manner from that originally used to record it in the Phonebook. Try saying the name again.

			Notes: •	If the search fails to find a candidate, Voice Guidance says
				"No other choices." You may have spoken the name using
				a different tone or a different manner from that originally
				used to record it in the Phonebook, or a name that is not in
				the Phonebook. Replace the handset to cancel the call,
				check the contents of the Phonebook, then try to place the
				call again. At most three candidates are presented. They
				are the names in the Phonebook that are the closest the
				names you spoke. If ambient sounds, etc., result in the
				spoken words sounding totally different from any
				candidates in the Phonebook, the search is cancelled
				before the 3rd try.
			•	If you do not hear any Voice Guidance after saying "Yes"
				(or "No"), press the Soft Key [EXEC].
			5. On completion of the call, replace the handset.

Notes: • If you cannot catch the message spoken by Voice Guidance, say "Repeat" to repeat the message.

•To abort the call at any point before saying "Yes," simply replace the handset.

•You can say "Cancel" (or press the Cancel Key) at any point to display the TOP MENU, allowing you to store new entries or edit or delete existing entries. This function can be useful if you want to check the contents of the Phonebook while making a call, or add (or delete) an entry after completing a call, etc.

•If you do not speak or press any keys for three minutes, the Voice Recognition mode is ended.
