For best speech recognition accuracy

• Wait until you hear the single beep and/or see the blue microphone volume bar before speaking. If you speak too soon, Fonix VoiceDial may miss the beginning of your command.
• Speak the entire command phrase. For example:
  
  • Say 'Call John Smith'
  • Do Not Say 'John Smith'
  • Say 'Call John Smith at home'
  • Do Not Say 'John Smith at home'
• Pronounce your words clearly.
• Do not speak too slowly.
• Speak loudly, but do not yell.
• Add a user pronunciation to names that have difficulties.
• Remove names from the speech recognizer that are rarely used.
• Use an external microphone. Sometimes the internal microphone of a PDA or mobile phone can be damaged or defective.
• Remove or change names in your contact list that may be similar to one another.
• Make sure names are entered in the 'First Name' and 'Last Name' or 'Company Name' fields. Fonix VoiceDial uses whatever name(s) is/are in the 'First' and 'Last' name fields or the 'Company' name field of the Contacts database. If the names are accidentally put in the 'Suffix' or 'Middle' name fields, the speech recognizer will not use the correct name.

For advanced users

• Fonix VoiceDial remembers the last phone number you called for each contact, so you needn't say the phone location again. For example, once you have called a contact at home, the next time you call the same contact you may say, \"Call (first and last name).\"
• Once you are familiar with the prompts, minimize the Fonix VoiceDial display to a small bar at the top of the screen.
• Stop Fonix VoiceDial while speaking long phrases by pressing the 'Launch' button again.
• Set the user preferences to add any number you have just spoken to the contact list.
• Customize your voice prompts by replacing the wave files in \"\Program Files\Fonix\VoiceDial\SoundClips\" with your own recordings. Be sure to name the wave file with the same name as the file you are replacing.
• Speed up the overall process of making a call by turning off some of the following user preferences:
• 'Enable Extra Audio Help'
• 'Confirm Digit Dial'
• 'Confirm Call Contact'
