Gee Whiz...I just cannot imagine what the 2 of you (and likely more folk as well) are going thru
I just wouldn't even bother if it were that cumbersome...
The simplistic approach I posted above that the wife and I use is soooooo easy... :shrug:
Just one set of name tags in each of our devices = no multiples to remember
My 'ol RAZR or her new IPHONE the process is the same...
3 commands and the call is placed
Ha! We're spoiled in this day and age whereby we've become accustomed to things happening quickly and easily. Hard to believe we were all once families that shared a single 14.4kbps modem connection and had to tie up the phone line to do so.
The key here is not having to take our hands off the wheel to begin voice recognition. From your earlier post, I'm assuming you're using the Razr's voice recog key (on the phone itself) to begin the process, yes? While this is simple enough, again, it's about not having to take your hands off the wheel to make a phone call (as well as the first sentence of this post)
If I hold down the "home" button on my iPhone, after a brief delay, I hear a chime which indicates the phone is ready to accept voice input, at which point I can speak the name of the person I want to dial or the voice command I wish to initiate. This process takes approximately 5 seconds. To call someone using the voice tags in the Terrain it takes approximately 28 seconds (given the voice commands and confirmations necessary). Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love having phone capability and voice recognition working so seamlessly with my vehicle; however, I think being able to press the voice command button (on the steering wheel) hearing a chime, and immediately being able to say "Call {blank person}" would make calling all that much more enjoyable and safer (versus interacting with the handset while driving)...
On another note, I'd love to know how Tdog was able to do exactly what I just described (i.e. 2 step voice calling)
