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 confirm it. Tap Yes to confirm the nickname or tap No to record the nickname again.

5.After you confirm 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.
