Voice Control
Voice Control lets you make phone calls and control music playback using voice commands. On
iPhone 4S, you can also use Siri to control iPhone by voice. See Chapter 4, “Siri,” on page 39.
Note: Voice Control may not be available in all languages. Voice Control is not available on
iPhone 4S when Siri is turned on.
Use Voice Control: Press and hold the Home button until the Voice Control screen appears and
you hear a beep. You can also press and hold the center button on the iPhone earphones.
For best results:
Speak into the iPhone microphone as if you were making a phone call. You can also use the Â
microphone on your Bluetooth headset or compatible Bluetooth car kit.
Speak clearly and naturally.
Â
Say only iPhone commands and names, and numbers. Pause slightly between commands. Â
Use full names. Â

Voice Control normally expects you to speak voice commands in the language that’s set for
iPhone (go to Settings > General > International > Language). Voice Control settings let you
change the language for speaking voice commands. Some languages are available in different
dialects or accents.
Change the language or country: Go to Settings > General > International > Voice Control and
tap the language or country.
Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but for better security you can prevent voice dialing
when iPhone is locked.
Prevent voice dialing when iPhone is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and turn
Voice Dial off. Unlock iPhone to use voice dialing.
See “Voice dialing” on page 57 and “Using Siri or Voice Control with Music” on page 78.
