The speech recognition system
enables you to operate some of the
mobile telephone's functions by voice
input. It recognises commands and
sequences of numbers independently of the person speaking. The
commands and sequences of
numbers can be spoken without a
break between the individual words.
You can also save telephone
numbers using a name randomly
chosen (voice tag). The telephone
connection can be created using this
name.
If the speech recognition system fails
to operate properly or fails to
recognise your voice, it provides you with acoustic messages and asks you
to input the command you want again. The speech recognition system also
provides an answer to important
commands and, if required, makes
enquiries.
Stop the voice dialogue at any time by
re-pressing q.Before you dial a telephone number,
the following preconditions must
exist:
■ The mobile telephone must be ready for operation and a
Bluetooth™ connection must exist.
■ The mobile telephone must be logged in.
To prevent conversations being held
in the interior of the vehicle from
causing inadvertent control of the
mobile telephone or audio system,
the speech recognition system only
starts once it has been activated.
Activating the speech
recognition system
By pressing q, the speech
recognition system is activated and
the symbol q appears on the display.
The radio is switched to "silent" for the
duration of the dialogue. Any traffic
news coming in will be interrupted.
The functions can only then be
operated if the mobile telephone is
logged into a network.

Ending the dialogue
There are various ways to deactivate
the speech recognition system and
end the dialogue:
■ By pressing q
■ Time-outs: if nothing has been input for a certain period of time
The speech recognition system is
also interrupted by an incoming call.
Operation With the aid of the speech recognition
system, the mobile telephone can be
operated very comfortably using the
voice input function. Simply activate
the speech recognition system and
say the desired command. Once the
command has been input, you will be
led through the dialogue with the
corresponding questions and
messages in order to reach the
required action.
Say the commands and digits in a
normal voice, without any artificial
pauses between the numbers.
Recognition is most successful when
you pause for at least half a second
after every three to five numbers.The Infotainment system
simultaneously reacts to commands with voice messages and displays.
Main commands After the speech recognition system
has been activated, you will hear a
short sound, which is a signal to
inform you that the speech
recognition system is waiting for an
input.
The following commands are
available:
■ " Call "
■ " Redial "
■ " Save "
■ " Delete "
■ " Phonebook "
■ " Help "
■ " Cancel "
Detailed description of these
commands see below.
"Call"
Using this command, you can input a telephone number which has beensaved in the phone book under aname (voice tag) or which is to be
used to create a connection. After this
command, the following commands
are available:
■ " Number ": The connection is
created using the number entered.
■ " Name ": The connection is created
using the voice tag."Number"
After this command has been given,
you will be asked to enter the number. The Infotainment system repeats the
recognised numbers. You can then input additional numbers or the
following commands:
■ " Call " or " Accept ": The inputs are
accepted.
■ " Change ": The last block of
numbers has been deleted.
■ " Delete ": The complete input has
been deleted.
■ " Help ": The dialogue is ended and
all commands available in this
context are listed.
■ " Plus ": A plus is placed before the
number for foreign calls.
Page 171 of 177

Voice recognition171
■ "Additional digits ": Additional digits
are being added.
■ " Cancel :" Ending the dialling
process. After the request for a
correction, all blocks of numbers previously entered are repeated
with the exception of the last block. If all inputs have been deleted, you
are once again asked to input a
telephone number.
If there is a voice pause of more than one second between the individual
numbers, the Infotainment system
assumes that the process of inputting
the block of numbers has ended and
repeats the block of numbers.
In order to make a foreign call, you
can say the word " Plus" (+) in front of
the number. The plus allows you to
make a call from that country without
knowing the foreign dialling code for
the country in question. Then say the
country code.
The country code corresponds to the
conventional format, i. e. 49 for
Germany, 44 for Great Britain, etc.The "0" must be left out of the local
network code (dialling code) except in Italy.
Example of a dialogue between the
user and voice output to dial a
telephone number:
User: " Call"
Voice output: " Name or Number? "
User: " Number "
Voice output: " The number, please! "
User: " Plus Four Nine "
Voice output repeats: " Plus Four
Nine "
User: " Seven Three One "
Voice output repeats: " Seven Three
One "
User: " One One Nine Nine "
Voice output repeats: " One One Nine
Nine "
User: " Change "
Voice output repeats the blocks of
numbers previously input: " Plus Four
Nine – Seven Three One "
User: " One One Nine One "Voice output repeats: " One One Nine
One "
User: " Call"
Voice output: " The number is being
dialled ""Name"
Using this command, you can select a telephone number under a name
(voice tag).
If the system recognises a name entry already available, it is shown on the
display. The symbol q representing
a voice tag appears to the right of the
name. The connection is created using the voice tag.
"Redial"
Using the " Redial" command, the
number most recently dialled can be
redialled.
"Save"
Using this command, you can save a
telephone number under a voice tag.
Additionally the previously input voice tag in the phone book can be
included.
Page 172 of 177

172Voice recognition
Voice tags can only be included in the
phone book if they are saved in the Infotainment system.
A maximum of 25 voice tags can be
stored in the phone book. If 25 voice
tags are already stored, the message
is given " The speech memory is full! ".
Voice tags are dependent on the
speaker, which means that only the
person who has spoken in the voice
tag can select it.
After three invalid attempts, the
speech recognition system is turned
off automatically.
It can happen that the two names
input are too different for the speech
recognition system, which then
rejects them. You can then decide if
you want to input the names again or end the process:
■ " Yes ": Input the names again.
■ " No "/" Cancel ": The dialogue is
ended without anything being
saved.In order to prevent a cut-off at the
beginning of the recording when names are being saved, a short
pause should be left after the request
for an input.
In order to be able to use the voice tag independently of the location, i.e. in
other countries, all telephone
numbers should be entered with a
" Plus " and the country code.
Example of a name being saved as a voice tag:
User: " Call"
Voice output: " Name or Number? "
User: " Name"
Voice output: " The name, please! "
User:
Voice output: " The number, please! ".
User: " Plus Four Nine "
Voice output: " Plus Four Nine "
User: Seven Three One .
Voice output: " Seven Three One "
User: " One One Nine One "
Voice output: " One One Nine One "
User: " Save"Instead of " Save" you can also use
the command " Accept".
"Delete"
Using the " Delete" command, you can
delete a previously saved voice tag.
"Phonebook"
Using the command " Phonebook",
you can dial a previously saved voice tag which you have included in thephonebook. You can also delete a
voice tag. After inputting the
" Phonebook " command, you will be
asked to input a name.
After the recognised name has been
output, you can input the following
commands:
■ " Call ": The connection to the saved
number is created.
■ " Delete ": The voice tag is deleted.
■ " Cancel ": The dialogue is ended.
■ " Help ": The dialogue is ended and
all commands available in this
context are listed.
