This setting will help you add custom pronunciations or nicknames to a contact and include
information on enabling or disabling contacts.
Assign contact nicknames
When VoiceDial creates the "Contact Name" recognizer, each contact name is given a
pronunciation from the master dictionary. Most of the time, this pronunciation is sufcient.
However, if you would like to use a unique nickname with your personal accent, you can
change the command associated with the contact.
1. Select the contact name by tapping on it.
2. Tap the + button. The contact list will disappear and a volume meter will appear.
3. Speak the name as you would have it pronounced, or speak the nickname for the
contact.
4. VoiceDial will play the nickname, then prompt you to conrm it. Tap Yes to conrm the
nickname or tap No to record the nickname again.
5. After you conrm the new pronunciation, the contact list will be re-displayed and the selected
contact will have an icon next to it indicating that you have created a nickname or additional
pronunciation for that contact.
6. When prompted, tap Yes to save your changes, or tap No to exit without saving your
changes.
NOTE: If you have a contact with a name that uses special characters, such as Ö or é,
or phonetic sounds found in foreign languages, it is recommended that you create a user
pronunciation for that contact. This will increase the recognition accuracy of that contact.
Delete contact nicknames
To delete a nickname or user pronunciation you have assigned to a contact:
1. Highlight the contact name and tap the - button.
2. Tap OK in the upper right corner to exit VoiceDial Settings.
3. When prompted, tap Yes to save your changes, or tap No to exit without saving your
changes.
Enable or disable contacts
To enable or disable a contact from being recognized by VoiceDial, check the box to the
left of the name to enable recognition; uncheck it to disable recognition. The entire list of
contacts may also be enabled or disabled by tapping the check box in the column header.
All contacts are selected by default.
