Voice Adaptation

Voice calling is speaker-independent, which means that no initial training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice characteristics may encounter difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker independent Voice calling. The Adapt Voice feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will gain no additional benefit performing an adaptation.

After you adapt Voice Service, your phone will be customized to your voice. Other people may not be able to use Voice Service on your phone accurately unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.

Note: ONLY adapt Voice Service if the system is frequently mis-recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.

Adaptation involves recording several word and digit sequences to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.

Tips for adapting Voice Service:

Perform the adaptation in a quiet place.

Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

Speak clearly, but say each word/digit sequence naturally.

If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of words/digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can wait for the prompt to say “Please try again” to re-record the sequence.

To adapt Voice Service to your voice:

1.Press MENUOK for Menu.

2.Select Settings > More....

3.Select Accessibility.

4.Select Voice Service.

5.Select Adaptation.

6.Select Adapt Voice. The phone displays information about the Adapt Voice feature.

7.When you are ready to start recording, press the left softkey for Start to begin.
