Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
Your device’s built-in ASR lets you make phone calls, open programs, play back music, get calendar
information, and more, just by using your voice. It only responds to a set of predefined commands and does
not allow you to record your own commands.
This section gives a few examples on how to use ASR. For more information, see ASR help on the device.
To access help, tap
Start > All Programs > Help tab, tap Help for Added Programs , and then tap Voice Command .
To use ASR:
1. Press and hold the Talk key, and a microphone icon ( ) will appear on the title bar.
2. Hold your device a few inches away from your mouth. In a clear voice, say a command.
For example, say “Help” to ask for information about using ASR.
3. The ASR software then asks you a question. Say your answer.
To place a call:
You can call contacts that are stored on your device, dial a phone number, redial, and place a return call.
1. Press and hold the Talk key until the microphone icon ( ) appears on the title bar.
2. In a clear voice, say one of the following commands:
Ⅲ “Call [contact name]” to call a contact.

Ⅲ “Redial” to repeat the last call made.
Ⅲ “Callback” to return the last call received.
Ⅲ “Call [contact name] at [location]” to call a contact at a specific number.
For example, say:
“Call Ann at mobile”
“Call Ann at home”
“Call Ann at work”
3. The ASR software will then confirm with you the contact or number to call. Say “Yes” or “Correct.”
If the ASR software is wrong about the contact or number to call, say “No” or “Incorrect” to try again.
4. Your device starts to call the contact or number.
To open a program:
