To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice Recognition system, below are some tips and reminders. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad," “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
• Avoid using special characters, emoji’s or hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
• Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words with all capital letters
• Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs.“Dr. Smith”)
Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
