The following information will guide you through using

Voice Services.

Voice Dialer

You can use your Samsung Galaxy Rush TM built-in automatic speech recognition (ASR) software, called

Voice Dialer, to dial a phone number in your Contacts or to launch phone functions. All you have to do is to talk into the phone, and ASR recognizes your voice and completes the tasks.

Activating Voice Dialer

1.

Press and tap > Voice Dialer .

The screen displays “Listening” and the phone prompts you to say the name of the command you want to use. To complete your task, follow the voice prompts or tap an onscreen option.

Available ASR commands include:

䡲 Call <Name> to call an entry in your Contacts list.

䡲 Dial <#> to call a spoken phone number.

䡲 Redial to redial the last number called.

䡲 Open <Menu> to jump directly to menu items or applications.

Tip: Use Voice Dialer in a quiet environment so it can accurately recognize your commands.
