Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
You can use your device
’s built-in automatic speech recognition (ASR) software to dial a phone
number in People or to launch device functions. All you have to do is to talk into the device, and
ASR will recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.
Activate ASR
1. From the Home screen, touch
>
Voice Dialer
. (You may need to scroll down the
screen to see the icon.)
2. The device beeps, the screen displays
“Listening...”, and the device prompts you to say
the name of the command you want to use. You can speak the following commands:
Call
<Name or Voicemail
>
to call an entry in your contacts list or voicemail. See
Make a Voice Call With ASR
.
Dial
<Number
>
to dial a spoken phone number.
Redial
to dial the last outgoing call.
Open
<Application Name
>
to open an application in your device. See
Open
Applications With ASR
.
Tip:
Use ASR in a quiet environment so it can accurately recognize your commands.
Note:
Regardless of which command you use, you will be asked to confirm your choice, or
choose from a menu if ASR is not sure what you would like to do.
