text messages.

Responding to a Played Message Using a Voice Command
Text messages that are played aloud (such as urgent messages) play a beep
when the message is finished. After the beep, you have approximately 1.5
seconds to say one of the valid responses before the Genie begins to prompt for
a response. This allows you to respond quickly to the message.
After the 1.5-second interval, the Genie announces the responses you can say.
You can also call back to the sender (by saying “Call back”) or skip the message
(by saying “Skip”).
To respond to a message that is played aloud:
1. Listen to the message, and wait for the beep to indicate that the message is
finished.
2. Within 1.5 seconds after the beep, say one of the valid responses.
3. If you don't know what the valid responses are, wait for the Genie to
announce them, and then say your response.
