Voice Dialing
The voice recognition capabilities of your SCH-u340 are exceptional due to
advanced, speaker-independent technology. This means you do not need to “train”
your phone to understand your voice. You can use your voice in a natural manner to
dial numbers.
Note: End Calls Before relaunching the VoiceSignal voice recognition software — When you use Voice
Dialing to make a call, you must end that call before you can use other Voice Commands. See “Voice
SVC” on page 84 for more information.
Use the Call command to dial any number stored in your Contacts list by saying the
name of the contact (Name Dialing). You can also use Call to dial any telephone
number, even numbers not stored in your contact list, by speaking the individual
digits in the number (Digit Dialing).
Voice Dialing Tips:
•
Wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak clearly at a normal volume, as if you were talking to someone on the phone.
• When saying a name, say the first name then the last name.
Dialing a Name
To dial a name, do the following:
1. In standby mode, press and hold the key.
“Say a Command” appears in the display and is pronounced through the
earpiece.
2. Say, “Voice Dial”.
You are prompted to “Say the name or number”.
3. Speak clearly and say the name of a person in your Contacts list, first
name followed by last name.
If the name is recognized, Voice Dial repeats the name and dials the
number.
If Voice Dial is not sure which name you said, it displays a choice list of up
to three names and prompts you with “Did you say?” followed by the first
name on the list.
26
4. Say “Yes” to confirm the name or “No” to hear the next name, or use the
keypad to select the correct name from the list. (See “Choice Lists” on
page 89, for more information.)
• Press the Repeat (right) soft key ( ) to say the name again.
• Press the Settings (left) soft key ( ), then press the Cancel (right) soft key
( ) to exit VoiceSignal without dialing.
If the recognized name has multiple numbers stored for it (that is, Mobile,
Work, Home, and so on), Voice Dial displays the possible choices and
prompts you with “Which number?”
5. Say one of the following number types:
• “Home”
• “Office”
• “Mobile”
• “Pager”
Voice Dial dials the specified number.
