Confirmation prompts
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the
system has not clearly understood your request or when there are
several possible responses to your request. For example, if you have
Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”.
The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If
you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will
ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts
OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you
to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will

confirm certain settings occasionally.
