Voice command issues

Possible solution(s)

Possible cause(s)

Issue

Review the phone voice

commands and the media

voice commands at the

beginning of their respective

sections.

You may be using the wrong

voice commands.

SYNC does not understand

what I am saying.

After pressing the voice icon,

wait until after the tone

sounds and Listening

appears before saying a

command. Any command

spoken before this does not

register with the system.

You may be speaking too

soon or at the wrong time.

Review the media voice

commands at the beginning

of the media section.

You may be using the wrong

voice commands.

SYNC does not understand

the name of a song or artist.

Say the song or artist

exactly as listed. If you say

"Play Artist Prince", the

system does not play music
by Prince and the Revolution

or Prince and the New

Power Generation.

You may be saying the

name differently than the

way you saved it.

Make sure you are saying the

complete title, such as

"California remix featuring

Jennifer Nettles".

If the song titles are in all

CAPS, you have to spell

them. LOLA requires you to

say "L-O-L-A".

The system may not be

reading the name the same

way you are saying it.

Do not use special charac-

ters in the title. The system

does not recognize them.

Review the Phone voice

commands at the beginning

of the phone section.

You may be using the wrong

voice commands.

SYNC does not understand

or is calling the wrong

contact when I want to

make a call.
