■ Rules of Voice Guidance
The contents of Phonebook entries and mail messages are
read aloud generally according to the rules as described below:
p They may not be read aloud as specified in the following
rules depending on the function you use:
<Numerics>
p A numeric string up to 16 digits is read aloud as a number.
When a numeric string begins with “0” or it is identified as a
URL or mail address, it is read aloud digit by digit.
p When numerals are separated by “/” or “.”, they are read
aloud as dates.
p “1 日 ” is differently read aloud for the meaning of the date (1st
date of a month) and for others. The kanji characters of dates
other than “1 日 ” are always read aloud as for the dates.
p When numerals are separated by “:”, they are read aloud
as time.
p “-”, “(” and “)” contained in a phone number or zip code are
not read aloud, and numbers only are read aloud.
p When a numeric string begins with “ ￥ ”, “ ＄ ”, “ ￠ ”, or “ ￡ ”, it
is read aloud as the meaning of money amount. When “,” is
used, the numeric string before “,” is identified as money
amount and that after “,” is identified as a number, unless it
is separated by every three digits.
p “(Numeral) 分の (numeral)” is read as a fraction.
<Alphabet>
p Alphabetical letters are read aloud according to the voice
guidance dictionary pre-installed in the FOMA phone.
p When a word consists of four or more letters and can be
read in romaji-reading, it is read aloud in romaji-reading.
p The alphabetical letters after a numeral might be read
aloud as a unit.
p “M”, “T”, “S”, and “H” before a date are converted to the
Japanese era name and then read aloud.
p Alphabetical letters other than above are read aloud in
alphabetical reading.
<Symbol>
p Symbols are read aloud according to the Symbol List.
When the same symbol continues three times or more, that
symbol is not read aloud.
p “ ヘンシン ” is read aloud for the following character strings:
“Re:”, “Re>”, “Re2:”, “Re2>” and “Re2*”
p “ テンソー ” is read aloud for the following character strings:
“Fw:”, “Fw>”, “Fw2:”, “Fw2>”, “Fw2*”, “Fwd:”, “Fwd>”,
“Fwd2:”, “Fwd2>” and “Fwd2*”
p When symbols for “Reply” or “Forward” are consecutively
repeated, they are read aloud only once.
<Pictograph>
p Pictographs are read aloud according to the Pictograph List.
<Smiley>
p Smileys are read aloud according to the voice guidance
dictionary pre-installed in the FOMA phone. When they are
identified as a URL or mail address, however, they are
read aloud as symbols.
< Other items>
p Texts are read aloud separated by punctuation marks and
symbols such as “!”, or “?”.
p When the kanji character that expresses the day of the
week is put between “(” and “)”, it is read aloud as the day
of the week.
p Words might not be correctly read aloud depending on the
context of the text (especially place names and proper nouns).
