Voice services
Before using voice services, note the following:
•
Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent on the
speaker’s voice.
•

Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags, and use them
in a quiet environment.
•
Voice tag recording prompts are turned off when your phone is in
All Sounds
Off
mode.
•
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 dialing
in all circumstances.
