Automatic Speech Recognition
(ASR)
You can use your device’s built-in automatic speech
recognition (ASR) software to dial any phone number
or a contact in your People list, search the Web, or
launch an application. All you have to do is to talk into
your device, and ASR will recognize your voice and
complete tasks by itself.
Activating ASR
1. Press and hold on your device.
2. If this is your first time to use ASR, the screen will
first display some suggestions on what commands
you can use. When you’re ready to issue a
command, tap
speak.
Available ASR commands include:
䡲 Call <Name or Phone number> to call an entry in
your People list or any phone number, whether it
belongs to a stored contact or not. (See “Making
a Voice Call With ASR” on page 63.)
䡲 Find <Word or Phrase> or Search for <Word or
Phrase> to search for information on the Web.
(See “Searching the Web With ASR” on page 63.)
䡲 Open <Application Name> or Start <Application
Name> to open an application in your device.
(See “Opening Applications With ASR” on page
64.)
3. The screen then displays “Listening...” and your
device prompts you to say the name of the
command you want to use. Speak the command
and then tap
go or just wait a couple of seconds
for your device to execute your command.

Tip: Use ASR in a quiet environment so it can accurately
recognize your commands.
