VOICE COMMAND

PHONE AND CONTACT TIPS

You will want to use some of the information in this section to make using your phone and contacts list with Voice command easier.

•How do I call voicemail? – Make a contact named ‘voicemail’ and add each of your voicemail numbers. Now you can simply say “Call VoiceMail at Home”.

•Feel free to use friendly names – You can name contacts with friendly names such as Home, Mom, or Dentist. After doing this, call by simply saying “Call Home”.

•Synchronizing fewer contacts – (For desktop sync only, doesn’t work with server sync) You can save memory and improve recognition by synchronizing only the contacts you need. Open ActiveSync on your PC, and choose Tools ➞ Options ➞ Contacts ➞ Settings. Select either individual contacts or categories to sync.

•Redial and callback are easier than dialing – Use “Redial” to call the last person you called, and “Callback” to call the last person who called you.

•Don’t take long pauses during digit dialing – If you pause for a long time, Voice Command will attempt to recognize the incomplete number.

•Call a contact at a location – Speed up calling by including the location. For example, “Call Karen Archer at home”.

•What’s the best way to enter couples as a contact? – If you know A & B Smith, try putting ‘& B’ into the middle name field. This way you can either “call A Smith” or “call A and B Smith”.

•What’s the best way to enter company abbreviations? – If you are having trouble getting recognition on a company of the form ‘ABC Painting’ try renaming to ‘A. B. C. Painting’ to clarify that these letters are spoken individually.
