Voice dialling
You can make a phone call by saying a voice tag that has been added to a contact card.
Any spoken word(s) can be a voice tag.
• When recording, hold the phone at a short distance away from your mouth. After the
starting tone, clearly pronounce the word, or words, you want to record as a voice tag.
Before using voice tags, note that:
• Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent on the speaker's voice.
• You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags and use them in a quiet
environment.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names and avoid similar names for
different numbers.
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an
emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.
Adding a voice tag to a phone number
Voice tags can only be added to phone numbers stored in the phone’s memory.
