Voice Signal
Section 3
Voice Signal is advanced speech recognition software
that can be used to activate a wide-variety of functions
38
Page 39
Voice Signal
on your phone. Voice Signal software automatically
voice activates all contacts for voice dialing and
searching, no pre-recording or training needed. Speak
phone numbers naturally to dial, and use voice
commands to launch applications and navigate phone
menus.
Voice Signal Settings
You can adjust the settings and preferences for Voice
Signal by opening the Voice Settings menu. Using this
menu, you can change the following Voice Command
features:
• Choice Lists: If Voice Signal is not absolutely confident that it
has correctly identified a name or number, it can display a
choice list of up to three possibilities, and prompt you to
confirm the correct one. You can control when choice lists
appear by changing the Choice Lists setting to the following:
•
Automatic: Voice Signal displays a choice list when it is not
confident it has identified the correct choice from among
multiple alternatives.
•
Always On: When there are multiple alternatives, Voice
Signal always displays a choice list.
•
Always Off: Voice Signal never displays a choice list.
Instead, the application picks the best from among the possible
choices.
• Sensitivity: In Voice Signal, sensitivity controls the balance
between rejecting too much, which means the phone
frequently does not recognize names, numbers, or commands,
and rejecting too little, which means it frequently recognizes
something even if nothing was said. When Voice Signal rejects
an utterance, it displays a message such as “Please repeat…”
or “No match found.” If you frequently experience these
messages, you might be able to get better recognition by
adjusting the Sensitivity setting toward Reject Less. If you
Section 3: Call Functions 39
Section 3
Page 40
Section 3
frequently experience false activations (Voice Signal detects a
wrong match), you might be able to get better performance by
adjusting the Sensitivity setting toward Reject More.
• Digit Dialing: Use the Digit Dialing menu to adapt digit dialing
to your voice.
•
Adapt Digits: Lets you adapt digits, which can improve
voice recognition of phone numbers. Adaptation takes about
60 seconds.
•
Reset Digits: Erases any digit adaptation you have done and
resets digit recognition to the factory default. If you have not
adapted digits, this option is grayed out.
• Sound: You can customize the Voice Signal user interface by
turning playback on or off for prompts, names, and numbers.
You can also change the speed and volume of name playback.
•
Prompts: Turns playback on or off for prompts such as
“Please say a command.”

Adapting Voice Signal
Voice dialing works well for most people without special
adaptation. However, people with strong accents or
unique voice characteristics may receive better results
after adapting the system to match their voices.
You should adapt Digit Dial only if the system is
frequently unable to recognize your speech. After you
adapt Digit Dial, your phone is customized to your
voice, and your voice only. Others will not be able to
use it unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.
Adaptation involves recording several digit
sequences to adapt the system to the unique
properties of your voice. The adaptation process takes
about three minutes.
Tips for Adapting Digit Dial
• Adapt digits in a quiet place.
• Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.
• Speak clearly, and say each digit distinctly.
Section 3
Section 3: Call Functions 41
Page 42
• If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if
there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, rerecord that sequence.
• Only adapt digits if you regularly have problems with digit
dialing. Once adapted, digit dialing will not work as well for
other people using your phone.
• Adapt Digit Dial to your Voice

8. After a moment, the phone plays back the recording and
prompts “Did the recording sound ok?” If the recording
was good, say “Yes.” If you need to re-record, say “No.”
Section 3
42
If you say “No,” the phone prompts you to pronounce the
digits again. Wait for the beep and then re-record.
Repeat this step until you’re satisfied with the recording.
Page 43
Voice Signal
9. After confirming that the recording sounds ok, repeat the
recording process with the next set of digits. After six
sets of digits, the phone asks whether you want to do
more adaptation. Answer “Yes.”
10. Repeat steps 4-6 for another six sets of digits. After the
sixth set of digits, the phone indicates that adaptation is
complete.

About VoiceMode
Vo ic e M o de TM from VoiceSignal Technologies is a simple,
fast, and convenient way to compose text messages on a
mobile phone. VoiceMode lets you use your voice to
dictate words, names, punctuation, and even
abbreviations (like LOL and TTYL), instead of keying
them in by hand.
To use VoiceMode when composing a text message, you
simply hold down the uppermost key on the right hand
side of your phone (the record button). Start dictating,
pausing briefly between each word. While you are
dictating, you will see words appear in your message.
These initial words that appear on the screen are
VoiceMode’s first guess at what you dictated. When you
release the record button, VoiceMode automatically
makes corrections based on the context of the phrase, and
display its best guess of the words recognized.
Adapting VoiceMode
Before you can use VoiceMode, you must adapt it to
recognize the special characteristics of your voice. The
adaptation process takes a few minutes to complete and
involves reading a list of 122 words, one word at a time.
To Adapt VoiceMode:
1. Find a quiet place for adaptation.
2. In standby mode, press and hold the 0 key at the bottom
of the keypad.
Section 7
Section 7: Messaging 93
Page 94
3. Press the left soft key Settings then press
VoiceMode.
4. Press Adapt VoiceMode.
5. When you are ready to start adaptation, press the
key. If you or someone else has completed adaptation
earlier, the phone will ask if you want to start from
scratch or continue adapting the existing models. Select
Ye s to discard existing adaptation data and start from
scratch, or select No to continue adapting the existing
data. If you are a new user, you should select Yes to start
from scratch.
6. Wait for the beep and then say each word as it appears
on the screen. Speak each word clearly and distinctly,
using a normal tone and volume. If the adaptation
process doesn’t detect a word, it will prompt you again
to speak the same word.
7. If you want to take a break, press the Pause key to
pause the adaptation process. When paused, continue
adaptation by pressing the Continue key.
8. After you say all 122 words, the phone will adapt
VoiceMode to your voice. This process takes
approximately one minute.
Note: If you press Cancel during adaptation, the phone will ask if you want
to save the adaptation data. Press Yes to save the data, or No to exit
without saving. If you do not complete adaptation, be sure to go back and
finish adapting to improve dictation recognition.

If you ever need to reset adaptation to its original state,
use the following procedure:

spoken by voice as many times as you like, as long as you
have not switched out of VoiceMode.
Spelling a Word
If a word is not recognized and does not appear in the
choice list, it might be because that word is not in the

scrolling the dictionary, the words will populate the text
box. Use the Back key to edit the entry in the text box.

of the words in the message. For example, words
following periods are capitalized.
