VoiceSignal™
VoiceSignal™
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 Settings
You 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 Status

Voice Commands, and
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
Section 3
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.

Adapting VoiceSignal
Voice 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.
Section 3: Call Functions
41
Section 3
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 42 Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:41 PM
Adaptation 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, rerecord 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.

1. At the standby screen, press
MENU. Use the right

7. Your phone displays the first digit sequence and “Please
say” plays through the speaker followed by the four
digits appearing in the display.

a550.book Page 43 Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:41 PM
VoiceSignal™
Wait for the beep and repeat the digits using your normal
tone of voice.
8. 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 Adaptation
This option erases an adaptation and resets Digit Dial to
its original state.

navigation key to highlight
