OPERATIONVoice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect™ Phone and to navi-
gate through the Uconnect™ Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are
required after most Uconnect™ Phone
prompts. There are two general meth-
ods for how Voice Command works:1. Say compound commands like
“Call John Smith mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and
allow the system to guide you to com-
plete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific
command and then guided through
the available options.
Prior to giving a voice command,one must wait for the beep, which
follows the “Listen” prompt or an-
other prompt.
For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Call” and
then “John Smith” and then “mo-
bile”, the following compound
command can be said: “Call John
Smith mobile”. For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound com-
mand form of the voice command is
given. You can also break the com-
mands into parts and say each part
of the command when you are
asked for it. For example, you can
use the compound command form
voice command “Search for John
Smith”, or you can break the com-
pound command form into two
voice commands: “Search Contact”
and when asked “John Smith”.
Please remember, the Uconnect™
Phone works best when you talk in
a normal conversational tone, as if
speaking to someone sitting a few
meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect™ Phone Voice system
uses a Natural Language Voice Rec-
ognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak
commands in phrases or complete sen-
tences. The system filters out certain
non-word utterances and sounds such
as “ah” and “eh”. The system handles
fill-in words such as “I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence such as
“make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith”. For multiple inputs in the
same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and pro-
vides the associated follow-up prompt
such as “Who do you want to call?”
in the case where a phone call was
requested but the specific name was
not recognized.The system utilizes continuous dialog;
when the system requires more infor-
mation from the user it will ask a ques-
tion to which the user can respond
without pressing the Voice Command
button.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt,
or if you want to know your options at
any prompt, say “Help” following the
beep.
