Possible solution(s)
Possible cause(s)
Issue
Review the phone voice
commands and the media voice commands at the
beginning of their respective sections.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand what I am saying. After pressing the voice icon,
wait until after the tonesounds and Listening
appears before saying a
command. Any command
spoken before this does not register with the system.
You may be speaking too
soon or at the wrong time.
Review the media voice
commands at the beginning of the media section.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand
the name of a song or artist. Say the song or artist
exactly as listed. If you say "Play Artist Prince", the
system does not play music
by Prince and the Revolution or Prince and the NewPower Generation.
You may be saying the
name differently than the way you saved it.
Make sure you are saying thecomplete title, such as
"California remix featuring Jennifer Nettles".
If the song titles are in all CAPS, you have to spell
them. LOLA requires you to say "L-O-L-A".
The system may not be
reading the name the same way you are saying it. Do not use special charac-
ters in the title. The system does not recognize them.

commands at the beginning of the phone section.
You may be using the wrong
voice commands.
SYNC does not understand
or is calling the wrong
contact when I want to make a call.

Make sure you are saying the
contacts exactly as they arelisted. For example, if you save a contact as JoeWilson, say "Call Joe Wilson".
Using the SYNC phone
menu, open the phonebook and scroll to the name
SYNC is having trouble
understanding. SYNC will
read the name to you, giving you some idea of the
pronunciation SYNC is expecting.
You may be saying the
name differently than the way you saved it.
The system works better if
you list full names, such as "Joe Wilson" rather than "Joe".
The system may not be
reading the name the same way you are saying it.
Do not use special charac-ters, such as 123 or ICE, as
the system does not recog- nize them.
Contacts in your phonebook
may be very short and
similar, or they may contain special characters.
If a contact is in CAPS, youhave to spell it. JAKE
requires you to say "Call J- A-K-E".
Your phonebook contacts
may be in CAPS. AppLink issues
