Automatic Speech Recognition
(ASR)
You can use your device’s built-in automatic speech
recognition (ASR) software (Voice Dialer) to dial a phone
number in your Contacts or to launch device functions. All
you have to do is talk into the device, and ASR will
recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.
Activating the Voice Dialer
䊳 Touch > > Voice Dialer.
The device prompts you to say a command from the
list displayed onscreen. When the application
recognizes the command, it executes the command
right away.
If the application does not recognize the number,
name, or application name, it will find the most likely
matches and display a list. Touch a selection or touch
Cancel to exit the Voice Dialer.

the number stored for the contact “John Smith”
with the label “Mobile.”
