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 eighthundred 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.

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 slow or too loudly may further decrease recognition performance.
