About Using Voice Commands to Place Calls
You can place a call to a contact or to another Cisco Unity Connection user by saying the person's name, or
phone number or extension.
For example, when you say "Call Harriet Smith," Connection finds the extension for Harriet in the corporate
directory and places the call. When you say "Call Mom at home," Connection finds your mother's home phone
number in your contact list and places the call.
To place calls by using voice commands, you must be signed in to Connection. This feature can be useful
when you are checking messages and want to place or return calls.
After you say a name, phone number, or extension, Connection plays a matching name or number and places
the call. If Connection finds more than one match for a name or number that you requested, the first match is
played and Connection will ask you to confirm whether the match is correct. If not, say "No," and Connection
will continue to play the other matches.
