Voice Control

Make FaceTime calls and control music playback with Voice Control. (You can also use Siri to
control iPod touch by voice. See Chapter 4,

Siri

, on page 36.)

Note: Voice Control and Voice Control settings aren’t available when Siri is turned on.

Use Voice Control. Turn Siri off in Settings > General > Siri. Then press and hold the Home button
until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep.

For best results:

Speak clearly and naturally.

Say only Voice Control commands, names, and numbers. Pause slightly between commands.

Use full names.

Change the language for Voice Control. By default, Voice Control expects you to speak voice
commands in the language that’s set for iPod touch (in Settings > General > International >
Language). To use Voice Control in another language or dialect, go to Settings > General >
International > Voice Control.

Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but you can keep Voice Control from dialing
FaceTime calls when iPod touch is locked. Go to Settings > Passcode and turn off Voice Dial.

For specific commands, see

Siri and Voice Control

on page 55. For more about using

Voice Control, including information about using Voice Control in different languages, see
