Voice Recognition 87
.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g
.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g
.
.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example say, “ Call Dave
Smith at work, ” “ Play ” followed
by the artist or song name,
or
“ Tune ” followed by the radio
station number.
.
Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, say a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an
“ Address, ”
“ Navigate to an intersection, ” “ I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,
” or “ Directions to a
Contact. ” The system responds
by requesting more details. After
saying
“ Place of Interest, ” only
major chains are available by
name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like
“ Restaurants, ”
“ Shopping Malls, ” or “ Hospitals. ”
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be
“ Call <number>. ” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If
“ Phone ” or “ Phone Commands, ” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“ Call <name>
at work. ”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
