Voice Recognition Tips
• Wait for the tone before you speak.
• Speak clearly and at a normal volume while keeping the distance from microphone
steady.
• There is no need to use paused speech. The voice recognition software has been
trained to recognize natural speech, and performs best when you speak naturally.
• In very noise environments, it may be helpful to use the supplied earset or optional
Bluetooth headsets.
Contacts List Voice Activation
On startup, Voice Commands reads your Contacts list and voice-activates these
names. When you add or change contacts, Voice Commands automatically reloads
and voice-activates the updated list (up to 200 contacts). If you have more than 200
contacts, you can modify the active list by going to Fun & Apps > Voice Commands
> Settings > Activate contacts.
Pronunciation Rules for Name Entries
Use the following common phonetic rules when using the Voice Commands speech
recognition software:
• Acronyms: Any word within a name entry that is all CAPS (whether it is a first
name, last name or whether it is on the SIM card or in the phone's own contact
list) will be treated as an acronym and will be pronounceable only as such.
• Digits: Digits appearing within name entries will be pronounced as single digits.
• Special Characters: "&" is pronounced as "And". "%" is pronounced as
"Percent". "@" is pronounced as "At".
• Other Characters: Characters other than alphabets, digits, and the three Special
Characters are ignored.
