System Interaction and Feedback

The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts, questions
and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings). You can customize the voice
recognition system to provide more or less instruction and feedback.

The default setting is to a higher level of interaction in order to help you
learn to use the system. You can change these settings at any time.

Adjusting the Interaction Level

Push the voice icon; when prompted, say “Voice settings”, then
any of the following:

When you say:

The system:

“Interaction mode standard”

Provides more detailed interaction and

guidance.

“Interaction mode advanced”

Provides less audible interaction and

more tone prompts.

The system defaults to the standard interaction mode.

Confirmation prompts are short questions the system asks when it is not
sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses to your
request. (For example, the system may ask “Phone, is that correct?”) If
turned off, the system simply makes a best guess as to what you requested
and you may still occasionally be asked to confirm settings.

“Confirmation prompts on”

“Confirmation prompts off”

The system creates candidate lists when it has the same confidence level
of several options based on your voice command. When turned on, you
may be prompted with as many as four possibilities for clarification.

For example, “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2 after
the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to call Jane
Doe at home.” Or, “Say 1 after the tone to play John Doe, Say 2 after the
tone to play Johnny Doe.”

“Phone candidate lists on”

“Phone candidate lists off”

“Media candidate lists on”

“Media candidate lists off”
