Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 2009 COMAND Manual - Manual (Page 198)

Apart from the speaker-dependent voice tags
stored in the address book, voice control can
recognize all the entries in the name fields of
the address book. Recognition of the entries
in the address book depends on the text that
was entered. To make a call you must say the
text of the entry.
Check the address book entries for the
following:
R
The name entries, e.g. last name and first
name, are in the right fields.
R
Do not use abbreviations or acronyms.
R
Avoid unnecessary spaces in names.
R
Do not use special characters.
You can improve voice recognition by saving
a speaker-dependent voice tag for address
book entries.
Use a speaker-dependent voice tag:
R
for names which are difficult to pronounce
R
to distinguish names which sound similar
R
for names which are not pronounced as
they are written
Voice control can store up to 50 of these
address book entries by means of a speaker-
dependent voice tag.

“Save Name”
Use the “Save name” command to save a
phone number with a voice tag for a specific
speaker. Use this command for a name which
is complicated or which is pronounced
differently as it is spelled, for example,
because it is a foreign name. When you have
given the command “Save Name”, voice
control prompts you to enter a phone
number.
The digits 0 to 9 and the word “Plus” are
permitted.
“Plus” replaces the international dialing code,
e.g. “00”.
