Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those languages,
use direct commands like the
examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated in
sentence form or direct commands
that state the application and
the task.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt before saying
a command or reply.
.Speak the command naturally, not
too fast, not too slow.
.Use direct commands without a lot
of extra words. For example,“Call
at work,” “Play ”followed by
the artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
.Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command using
keywords. A few examples are: “Iwant directions to an address,” “I
need to find a place of interest or
(POI),”
or“Find contact.”
The system responds by requesting
more details. For other POIs, say the
name of a category like
“Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or
“Hospitals.”
.Navigating to a destination outside
of the current country takes more
than one command. The first
command is to tell the system
where the navigation will take place,
such as an Address, Intersection,
POI, or Contact. If Address or
Intersection is selected, the second
command is to say, “Change
Country.” Once the system responds,
say the country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection.
If POI is asked for, say “Change
Location,” then“Change Country.”
Direct commands might be more
clearly understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call .” Examples of these
direct commands are displayed on
most of the screens while a voice session is active. If
“Phone”or “Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example “Call at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for List
Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available but
not displayed. The list on a voice
recognition screen functions the same
as a list on other displays. Scrolling or
flinging can be used to help display
other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and

“Voice Keypad”:Begin a dialog to
enter special numbers like
