ask for a confirmation of yes or no.
6. If the system does not recognize your command, the voice failed
icon
will be displayed in the status bar. The system will give you a
short list of commands you can say. Say the command again. If the
system doesn’t recognize the repeated command, the system will say,
“Please say a command, help or cancel”.
7. If the system does not recognize your command a second time, the
system will say, “I didn’t understand you, please try again.”
8. Once confirmation / recognition takes place, the voice success
icon
is displayed, the system will speak the next level of available
commands, a tone will sound, and the appropriate voice menu name and
icon will be displayed.
9. If the voice session is not complete, the system will then speak the
next set of available voice commands, a tone will sound, and the system
will display ‘Listening’
and again, waits for a response.
10. This sequence of events occurs until the voice recognition session is
