Voice dial?

[bpollina]

I have a brand new TP2 and noticed I can tell it "dial xxx-xxxx" but can't tell it to dial from my contact list? Is this possible? How do I do it?

hold down the phone button it will beep or whatever and say "call X". i forget what other commands are but its not limited to voice dialing.

@Serm, At the beep say "Help" for a list of commands.

Got it. It seems to work on some but others it doesn't recognize? Any way to train it?

Sometimes you have to pronounce it the way VC pronounces it. For example, I have a friend whose last name is "Rahill", and while he pronounces it "Ray-hill", I have to say "Raah-hill" (where "aa" rhymes with the "a" in "ask"). Actually I think it depends on how many similar names there are, as I can get away with some that are quite off the mark and others I have to be spot on. There is no way to teach it how to pronounce someone's name.

Also if you're doing it over bluetooth, the headset you use can make a big difference. My Jawbone Icon works flawlessly 100% of the time; other headsets worked probably 60-70% of the time. The most maddening one was that every time I would try to call my wife it would ask if I wanted to call my dog's vet. Their names sounded nothing like each other, to me at least.

It doesn't even recognize "cell". Using handset speaker. Wierd.
