116 Section 2H: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services
Calling Nicknames
Your Contacts list incorporates a field called “ Nickname .” When you add a
nickname to a contact, you can say the contact’s name or nickname when
using the voice features. For example, if you have a contact, “
John Smith ”
stored in your Contacts list, and you add, “ Dad ” to the nickname field, you
can call that contact by saying, “ Call John Smith ” or by saying “ Call
Dad .”
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your Contacts list:
䢇
Say “ Call ” followed immediately by a valid string of digits to be dialed,
for example, say “ Call 555 555 5555 .”
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit at a time—1-
800 should be pronounced “One Eight Zero Zero.”
Adapting Digit Dial
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no training or
adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice
characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker-
independent Digit Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to
dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get
acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to
performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your voice.
Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on your phone unless they
reset the phone to factory defaults.
Tip: If your Contacts list contains a name that you have difficulty using with
the voice features (such as some unusual or foreign names), you can
add a nickname for that contact that spells out the proper pronunciation
of that name.
Note: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently misrecognizing your
speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.
