Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)

Your phone’s built-in ASR lets you make phone calls, open programs, play back music, get calendar information, and more, just by using your voice. It only responds to a set of predefined commands and does not allow you to record your own commands.

This section gives a few examples on how to use ASR. For more information, see ASR help on the phone. To access help, press Start (left softkey) > All Programs (left softkey) > Voice Command, and then press Menu (right softkey) > Help.

To use ASR:

1.Press and hold the Talkkey, and a microphone icon () will appear on the title bar.

2.Hold your phone a few inches away from your mouth. In a clear voice, say a command. For example, say “Help” to ask for information about using ASR.

3.The ASR software may ask you a question to further clarify your request. Say your answer.

To place a call:

You can call contacts that are stored on your phone, dial a phone number, redial, and place a return call.

1.Press and hold the Talkkey until the microphone icon () appears on the title bar.

2.In a clear voice, say one of the following commands:

“Call [contact name]” to call a contact.

“Dial [number]” to dial a phone number.

“Redial” to repeat the last call made.

“Callback” to return the last call received.

“Call [contact name] at [location]” to call a contact at a specific number. For example, say:

“Call Ann at mobile” “Call Ann at home” “Call Ann at work”

3.The ASR software will then confirm with you the contact or number to call. Say “Yes” or “Correct.”

If the ASR software is wrong about the contact or number to call, say “No” or “Incorrect” to try again.

4.Your phone starts to call the contact or number.

To open a program:

1.Press and hold the Talkkey until the microphone icon () appears on the title bar.

2.In a clear voice, say “Start”, “Open”, or “Show” then the program name.

To request information from your calendar:

1.Press and hold the Talkkey until the microphone icon () appears on the title bar.

2.In a clear voice, ask for the information you want to retrieve. For example, say:

“What’s my next appointment?” “What’s my next meeting?” “What’s my schedule tomorrow?”
