Voice Commands for BT phone

You need to create voice tags for your phone book entries in the Prius. It's needs to be done for each entry that you wish to voice dial (other than voice dialing by number). Go to the phone screen and edit the contact. There is an option for voice tags - I think it is on the second screen. Push that button and the system will prompt you through recording the tag. Record whatever phrase you want to use for that entry, such as "Sue's cell".

By second screen I mean page 2 of the menu. Many of the Prius screens have more than one page.

"Dial by name" is a neat feature, and I get good results from voice commands, but for practical usability, it stinks.
The whole command-response routine with the bluetooth system is annoying, and system prompts cannot be interrupted by use of the talk switch to expedite things. Which is interesting, since system prompts can be interrupted (or even turned off) when conversing with the nav system. Plus you gotta remember which contacts you made a voice tag for, and what the tag is.

Speed dials are the way to go. Simple, quick, easy and on-the-go capable..

 

if you do not have the nav you can still go into the settings and disable audio prompts, with those tuned off , you will just hear a beep then you say what you want instead of waiting for the car to say please say a command or whatever

Hey Fred, see my post above and the whole thread for some good info. Post #6.

 

Those second pages are sneaky. I had trouble finding some of the options, only to later discover another page. It still throws me sometimes.
