Automatic Speech Recognition
(ASR)
You can use your phone’s built-in automatic speech
recognition (ASR) software to dial a phone number in
your Contacts or to launch phone functions. All you
have to do is to talk into the phone, and ASR will
recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.
Activating ASR
ᮣ Press and hold .
The screen displays “Say a name or shortcut” and the
phone prompts you to say the name of the command
you want to use. To complete your task, simply follow
the voice prompts.
Available ASR commands include:
ⅷ Contact Name to call an entry in your Contacts list or a
spoken phone number. (See “Making a Voice Call
With ASR” on page 73.)
ⅷ Contacts to lookup a Contacts entry name from your
current list of available contacts. (See “Look Up a
Contacts Entry” on page 74.)
ⅷ Messages <Name or #> to launch the Messages
menu where you can select from Voicemail, Send
Message, etc. (See “Send a Text Message” on
page 73.)
Tips for Using Voice Dial
ⅷ Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.
ⅷ When saying a name, speak at a normal speed and
say the name clearly. There is no need to pause
between the first name and last name.

recognize your commands.
