I would post this to a cell phone Usenet group, but I don't know of an active one. If anyone knows of one, I would appreciate the name of the newsgroup.
My cell phone has a feature that you can speak the name and it will call the number. The only problem is that my phone must not understand hillbilly.
I had about 20 numbers in my phone from people I occasionally call. Half of the time I could not get the phone to understand me. Because I only use reading glasses, and don't have them on most of the time, it would be nice to be able to just speak the number instead of having to put on my glasses to see. I wanted this to work badly enough that I deleted all but 8 phone numbers from my contacts and it still doesn't work right.
A friend and I walk 3 miles almost every evening, and we call each other to make sure we both are going. I had his name in my phone directory as Dan. I would say........Dan, and the phone would ask.......Did you say Pam? No, I didn't say Pam. Well it couldn't get it. I ended up changing his name to Mike so it would not try to call my sister. It still misses it half of the time. It does pretty good if I am still in my car, and have the radio off, but if I am outside walking, it misses it half of the time.
You would think if they were going to use VR they would at least let you record your own voice pronunciation with the entry.
It would also be nice if would just start calling out numbers in your directory. You could have a skip 5 command or a skip 10. Back 1.
After it fails to look up the number you have to press another button on the phone to try again. You need a "try again" VR command too.
BTW I have a M320 Sprint phone.
