BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance

quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traffic

without pausing between words.

(For example, if speaking 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred”
cannot.)
Examples:

“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
INFO:
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.

tions, such as “Dad” or “Mom”, are

in Favorites from [Phonebook/Fa-
vorites Settings] or register “Dad/
Mom” as a name in a cell phone.
