Section 3: Call Functions 39VoiceSignal™Section 3VoiceSignal™VoiceSignal is advanced speech recognition software that can be used to activate a wide-variety of functions on your phone. VoiceSignal software automatically voice activates all contacts for voice dialing and searching, no pre-recording or training needed. Speak phone numbers naturally to dial, and use voice commands to launch applications and navigate phone menus.VoiceSignal SettingsYou can adjust the settings and preferences for VoiceSignal by opening Voice Commands menu. Using this menu, you can change the following Voice Command features:• Tips for adapting Digit Dial• Digit Dial Adaptation• Reset Digit Dial Adaptation• Call Digit Dialing• Call Name Dialing• Send Text Msg.• Name Lookup• Opening Apps• Checking Phone StatusTo access the VoiceSignal Settings menu, follow these steps:1. At the standby screen, press MENU. Use the right navigation key to highlight SETTINGS & TOOLS.a550.book Page 39 Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:41 PM

40Section 32. Press Tools, then Voice Commands, and Voice Settings.3. Use the navigation keys to select the setting you want to change. The following options are available:• Choice Lists: If VoiceSignal is not absolutely confident that it has correctly identified a name or number, it can display a choice list of up to three possibilities, and prompt you to confirm the correct one. You can control when choice lists appear by changing the Choice Lists setting to the following:•Automatic: VoiceSignal displays a choice list when it is not confident it has identified the correct choice from among multiple alternatives.•Always On: When there are multiple alternatives, VoiceSignal always displays a choice list.•Always Off: VoiceSignal never displays a choice list. Instead, the application picks the best from among the possible choices. • Sensitivity: In VoiceSignal, sensitivity controls the balance between rejecting too much, which means the phone frequently does not recognize names, numbers, or commands, and rejecting too little, which means it frequently recognizes something even if nothing was said. When VoiceSignal rejects an utterance, it displays a message such as “Please repeat…” or “No match found.” If you frequently experience these messages, you might be able to get better recognition by adjusting the Sensitivity setting toward Reject Less. If you frequently experience false activations (VoiceSignal detects a wrong match), you might be able to get better performance by adjusting the Sensitivity setting toward Reject More.• Digit Dialing: Use the Digit Dialing menu to adapt digit dialing to your voice.a550.book Page 40 Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:41 PM

You can also change the speed and volume of name playback. •Prompts: Turns playback on or off for prompts such as “Please Say a command.”•Digits: Turns playback on or off for digits, for example, when confirming a phone number.•Names: Turns playback on or off for names.•Name Settings: Adjusts the speed and volume of name playback.• About: Displays information about VoiceSignal including version number, build number, and device number.Adapting VoiceSignalVoice dialing works well for most people without special adaptation. However, people with strong accents or unique voice characteristics may receive better results after adapting the system to match their voices. You should adapt Digit Dial only if the system is frequently unable to recognize your speech. After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone is customized to your voice, and your voice only. Others will not be able to use it unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.a550.book Page 41 Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:41 PM

42Section 3Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to adapt the system to the unique properties of your voice. The adaptation process takes about three minutes.Tips for adapting Digit Dial• Adapt digits in a quiet place.• Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.• Speak clearly, and say each digit distinctly.• If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, re-record that sequence.• Only adapt digits if you regularly have problems with digit dialing. Once adapted, digit dialing will not work as well for other people using your phone.• Adapt Digit Dial to your voice.Digit Dial AdaptationTo access the Adapt Digits menu, follow these steps:1.

After a moment, the phone plays back the recording and prompts “Did the recording sound ok?” If the recording was good, say “Yes.” If you need to re-record, say “No.” If you say “No,” the phone prompts you to pronounce the digits again. Wait for the beep and then re-record. Repeat this step until you’re satisfied with the recording.9. After confirming that the recording sounds ok, repeat the recording process with the next set of digits. After ten sets of digits, the phone indicates that adaptation is complete.Reset Digit Dial AdaptationThis option erases an adaptation and resets Digit Dial to its original state.1.
