Using Speak or Spell
50 ··· Vocera User Guide
Using Speak or Spell
The speak or spell feature allows you to contact users, groups, or address book
entries by either speaking or spelling their names in a voice command. Spelling
a name greatly improves speech recognition because you are effectively uttering
many more syllables than when you simply speak a name. In fact, spellings are
so effective that they may work even when they are slightly incorrect, so don't
let past spelling bee experiences scare you away!
In addition to
speaking
the full name, you can
spell
either the first name, the
last name, or both names to contact a person. For example, you can use any of
the following commands to place a call to the user or address book entry Jesse
Hart:
• Call Jesse Hart
• Call J-E-S-S-E
• Call H-A-R-T
• Call J-E-S-S-E-H-A-R-T
You must always speak or spell the full name to contact a group, place, or
alternate spoken name. For example, you can use either of the following
commands to place a call to the address book entry Poison Control:
• Call Poison Control
• Call P - O - I - S - O - N - C - O - N - T - R - O - L
A
qualifier
is an additional name, such as a department or a site, that helps to
identify the party you are trying to contact in a voice command. You can use
either a spelling or a qualifier in a voice command, but you cannot use both.
In addition, you cannot spell the name of the qualifier—only the party you are
trying to contact.
For example, you can contact Maria Blount in the Imaging department by
saying either "Call M - A - R - I - A" or "Call Maria in Imaging". You cannot
use either "Call M - A - R - I - A in Imaging" or "Call Maria in I - M - A - G -
I - N - G". See
Calling with Department Names
on page 52 for more
information about using departments.
Note:
Make sure you speak with an even pace and say each letter distinctly
when you spell a name. The Genie hears a spelling as a very long word, and you
don't want to trip it up!
