1 CALLING A CONTACT 2 DIALING A NUMBER 3 CHECKING CALENDAR 4 START MENU 5 MEDIA

CALLING A CONTACT

Commands:

Call <contact>
Call <contact> at home
Call <contact> at work
Call <contact> on mobile
Call <contact> on cell
Call <contact> on cellular
Call <contact> at home two
Call <contact> at work two
Call <contact> at car
Call <contact> on radio
Call <contact> on pager
Call <contact> at assistant

To confirm that you want to make the call after Voice Command responds:

You can say "Yes" or "Correct" to call.
You can say "No" or "Incorrect" to try again.

If Voice Command asks you which location, you can:

Repeat one of the locations that Voice Command offers to call.
Say "No" to try again.


Related commands:

You can say "Call back" to call back the last call that you received.
You can say "Redial" to call back the last call that you made.


Examples:

Call Karen Archer on cell
Call Frank Miller
Call City Light and Power
Call Karen Archer Home


Notes:

Voice Command indexes by the Contact's first and last name if it exists. If you have a nickname entered, you can use that

too. Voice Command will only let you call by company name if there is no first or last name.

You must prefix contact calling with the "call" keyword. If you use "dial", it won't work!

Anyone know if you can have voice command read something to you? Say I'm driving and want to check my email and have it read it to me? Or I have a note that I want it to read it to me? etc.
