The magic word

The magic word is especially suitable when using a car handsfree kit.

Choose a long, unusual word or phrase that can easily be distinguished from ordinary background speech.

Tips when recording and using voice commands

If your phone cannot detect your voice command, one of the following might have happened:

• You spoke too softly – try speaking

louder.

• You held the phone too far away –

hold it as you do during a call.

• The voice command was too short –

it should be around one second long and more than one syllable.

• You spoke too late or too soon –

speak immediately after the tone.

• You did not record the voice

command when the handsfree was attached – for voice control with a handsfree kit, record when the handsfree is attached.

• You used another intonation – use

the same intonation as in the recorded voice command.
