Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understandcommands that are either naturallystated in sentence form (Englishonly), or direct commands that statethe application and the task.
For languages that do not supportnatural language commands insentence form, use the directcommands shown as examples onthe display screen.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt and waitfor the beep before saying acommand or reply.
.Say“Help”or look at the screendisplay for commands.
.Voice recognition system promptcan be interrupted during a

For example, if the promptseems to be taking too long tofinish, or if what is beingprompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, pressgagain
and wait for the beep.
.Speak the command naturally,not too fast, not too slow. Usedirect commands without a lot ofextra words.
.Usually Phone and Audiocommands can be spoken in asingle command.
For example,“Call Dave Smithat work,”“Play”followed by theartist or song name, or“Tune”followed by the radio stationnumber.
There is no need to memorizespecific command words. Directcommands might be more clearlyunderstood by the system. Anexample of a direct command wouldbe“Call 555-1212.”Examples ofthese direct commands aredisplayed on most of the screenswhile a voice session is active.If“Phone”or“Phone Commands,”isstated, the system understands thataphonecallisrequestedandwillrespond with questions until enoughdetails are gathered.
