Activating Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows you to say commands to perform common
functions supported by your phone. There is no voice training
required to use the voice recognition feature. You simply say the pre­designated command displayed on your screen in a normal tone of
voice to perform the desired function.
To activate voice recognition:

1. Press and hold or . (The phone prompts you to

say a voice command.)

2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following

commands:

• Voice Dial • Voice Memo • My Phone #

• Contacts • Status

When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone launches the
associated application. If the phone does not hear a command
within approximately eight seconds, it de-activates voice recognition
without taking any action.

Note: You can activate voice recognition even if the phone is closed

by pressing .

Using Voice Dial

Voice Dial allows you to dial any valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North
American phone number by speaking the number naturally, without
pausing between the digits.
Tips for using Voice Dial:

• Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.

• When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say each

digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

• The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize
numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800." Instead, say
"one-eight-zero-zero."

• The phone recognizes only valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North

American phone numbers.

• If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when

you are using Voice Dial, try adapting Voice Dial to your voice,
which can significantly improve accuracy for some speakers.
(See "Changing Voice Dial Sensitivity" on page 36 for details.)

To place a call using Voice Dial:

1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding . (The

phone prompts you for a command.)

2. Say Voice Dial. (The phone prompts you to say the

number.)

3. Say either a name stored in your Contacts or a valid 7, 10 or

11 digit North American phone number naturally and

clearly.

31 Voice Services

• If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the

correct number, say "Yes." (You can also select the correct
number from those displayed on the screen by pressing

on the correct number. The phone will then dial the

number.)

• If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an

incorrect number, say No. (If there are other alternatives,
the phone will prompt you with the next one. You can also
press the navigation key up or down to select the correct
number from the Choice List, and then press to
dial.)

• If you said a name listed in your Contacts that has more

than one number associated with it, the phone displays
the different locations (Home, Office, Mobile, Pager,
Fax) and asks you which one to dial. Say one of the
location names and the phone will dial the number for
the location you specified.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a name or

number. Make sure that the number is a valid 7, 10 or 11 digit North
American phone number, and then say the number again. If the number
isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't understand the number on the
second try, it will not place a call.

Customizing Voice Dial

Adapting Voice Dial

Voice Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no initial
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or
unusual voice characteristics may encounter difficulty in achieving
high accuracy with speaker independent Voice Dialing, so the Adapt
Digits feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit
accuracy through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit
recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to performing the
Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Voice Dial, your phone will be customized to your
voice. Other people will not be able to use Voice Dial on your phone
unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.

: ONLY adapt Voice Dial if the system is frequently mis-

Note

recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its
original factory setting.

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the
system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Voice Dial:

• Adapt digits in a quiet place.

Voice Services

• Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

• Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

Voice Services 34

• If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or

if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you
can say or select No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording
sound OK?” You will then be prompted to re-record the
sequence.

To adapt Voice Dial to your voice:

1. Press the left softkey for MENU.

2. Press for Settings.

3. Press for Voice Dial.

4. Press for Digit Dialing.

5. Press for Adapt Digits. (The phone displays the first

digit sequence.)

6. When you are ready to start recording, press . (The

phone prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)

7. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal

tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and

asks you if the recording sounds "OK.")

• If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no

background noises), say Yes.

• If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems, say

No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)

8. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. (Repeat

this step until you are satisfied with the recording.)

9. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the

recording process with the next set of digits. In total, there

are 10 sets of numbers. When you are finished with a full

session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation

Complete.”

35 Voice Services

Voice Dial at least once to achieve the maximum benefit of this feature. If
