How to speak numbers
The Voice Recognition system requires the user
to speak numbers in a certain way when giving
voice commands.
General rule:
500, 800 and 900 can be pronounced as “five
hundred”, “eight hundred” and “nine hundred”
respectively.
For other numbers, only single digits 0 (zero) to 9
can be used. (For example, for the number “600”,
speaking “six zero zero” can be recognized by
the system, but “six hundred” cannot.) Example:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero”
INFO:
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0”, and “oh” for the letter “o”.
