Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the screen
display for example commands.
. A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g. .
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
. Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example say, “Call Dave
Smith at work,” “Play” followed
by the artist or song name,
or “Tune” followed by the radio
station number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, say a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an “Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
by requesting more details. After
saying “Place of Interest,” only
major chains are available by
name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
