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:
“I want
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.”
