General information
The speech recognition of the Phone
portal enables you to operate several
functions of the mobile phone via
voice input. It recognises commands
and numeric sequences
independently of the relevant
speaker. The commands and
numeric sequences can be spoken
without a voice pause between the
individual words.
You can also save telephone
numbers using a name of your choice
(voice tag). The telephone connection
can be set up using this name.
In the event of incorrect operation or
incorrect codes the speech
recognition gives you acoustic
feedback and requests you to re-
enter the desired command. Apart
from this, the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of the mobile
phone, the speech recognition does
not start until it has been activated.
