Voice Command list

[j7469]

I figured with all the new iPhone user who are most likely new to iPhone I'd share a list of voice command available on the iPhone. Most veteran iPhone user do know all the voice command available and/or forget what they are. This list should be especially helpful to former Android user although not a comprehensive as Android...

To initiate a voice command, hold down the home button (the one on the front of the screen) for about 3 seconds. The screen should turn blue and you will hear 2 beeps, once you do just speak the command.


Phone Commands
?Call?/?dial? plus name or nickname from address book. May need to add phone number type, such as ?home?, ?work?, ?mobile?.

Wow, just tried the time command. Very cool, I only had to hold the button, speak, and then listen. Much more convenient than looking at the homescreen.

Just a joke, settle down!!
