Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated
in sentence form or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt before
saying a command or reply.
.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow.
.
Use direct commands without a
lot of extra words. For example,
“
Call <name> at work,
” “
Play
”
followed by the artist or song
name, or
“
Tune
”
followed by the
radio station number.
.
Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command
using keywords. A few examples
are:
“
I want directions to an
address,
” “
I need to find a Place
of Interest or (POI)
”
or
“
Find
contact.
”
The system responds by
requesting more details. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like
“
Restaurants,
”
“
Shopping Malls,
”
or
“
Hospitals.
”
.
Navigating to a destination
outside of the current country
takes more than one command.
The first command is to tell the
system where the navigation will
take place, such as an Address,
Intersection, POI, or Contact.
If Address or Intersection is
selected, the second command
is to say,
“
Change Country.
”
Once the system responds, say
the country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection.
If POI is asked for, say
“
Change
Location,
”
then
“
Change
Country.
”
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 shown on most of the displays
while a voice session is active.
If
“
Phone
”
or
“
Phone Commands,
”
is
spoken, the system understands
that a phone call is requested and
will respond with questions until
enough details are gathered to
make a call.
