13. Voice commands
Voice commands transform your device into your own virtual personal assistant,
letting you use your voice to make phone calls, look up contacts, and so on.
Before using voice services, note the following:
• Voice commands are language-dependent. They are not dependent on the
speaker’s voice.
• Voice commands are sensitive to background noise. Use them in a quiet
environment.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid similar names
for different numbers.
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during
an emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialing in all
circumstances.
■ Activate and use Voice Commands
To activate voice commands, from Standby Mode, select MENU > Settings & Tools
> Tools > Voice Commands, or press the Voice Command key (see "Phone at
A Glance", p. 10). The following options are displayed:
Call <Name> <Loc> — Say "Call" and then a name or a phone number from your
Contact List. For example, "Call Tom Smith", "Call Tom Smith’s mobile", or "Call
617 515 212".
Send <Msg Type> — Say "Send Message" and you are asked for the type of
message. After choosing the message type, you are asked for the contact name or
number.
If you say a full-sentence command, such as "Send text to Tom", you are asked to
confirm the message and give the contact number. The corresponding message
editor opens.
Lookup <Name> — Say "Lookup" and the name from your Contact List (for
example, "Lookup Tom") to retrieve and display information of the contact.
Go To <Menu> — Say "Go To" to open the list of menu options on your device and
choose the menu you want. Or say a full command with the application name (for
example, "Go To Contacts").
