How to speak numbers

Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers when giving voice commands.

Refer to the following examples.

General rule:

● Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.
● When saying the phone number 800-662- 6200, the system will accept “eight-hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or “eight oh oh”.

500, 700, and 900 are also supported.

Examples:

● 1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two zero zero”
– “One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero”

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:

You can improve the recognition of phone numbers by saying the phone number in three groups of numbers. For example, when you try to call 800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and the system will then ask you for the next three digits.

Then, say “six six two”. After recognition, the system will then ask for the last four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method of phone digit entry can improve recognition performance.

NOTE:

When speaking a house number, speak the number “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter “O” is included in the house number, it will not be recognized as “0” even if you speak “oh” instead of “zero”.

Voice command examples

Some basic voice command examples are described here.

For navigation system commands, see the separate Navigation System Owner’s Manual.

Example 1 — Placing a call to the phone number 800-662-6200:

1. Press the button located on the steering wheel.

2. The system announces, “Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information, Audio or Help?”
3. Say “Phone”.

4. Say “Dial Number”.

5. Say “800”.

6. The system announces, “Please say the next three digits or dial, or say change number.”
7. Say “662”.

8. The system announces, “Please say the last four digits or say change number.”
9. Say “6200”.

10. The system announces, “Dial or Change Number?”
11. Say “Dial”.
12. The system makes a call to 800-662- 6200.

NOTE:

● You can also speak “800-662-6200” (10 continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits), if the area code is not necessary.

However, the 3-3-4 digit grouping is recommended for improved recognition.

See “How to speak numbers” in this section.
● You can only say a phone number using the 3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10 digits using this command. Please use the “International Call” command for all other formats, and when special characters such as star (*), pound (#), and plus (+) need to be entered.
● If you say “Change Number” during phone number entry, the system will automatically request that you repeat the number using the 3-3-4 format. In this case please say the area code first and then follow the prompts.
● Do not add a “1” in front of the area code when speaking phone numbers.
● If the system does not recognize your command, please try repeating the command using a natural voice. Speaking too slowly or too loudly may further decrease recognition performance.
