iPhone 3GS Voice Control

July 3, 2009 · Filed Under iPhone Features · 4 Comments 

So I’ve been playing around a lot with the Voice Control feature on the 3GS. First let’s start by saying this technology is nothing new to cell phones, my wife pointed that out to me when I tried to impress her with one of the many cool iPhone features.

However the Voice Control interface on the iPhone is pretty cool.

You simply press and hold the START button for 5 seconds and the program opens, the commands float by on the screen so you are always reminded of what to say to activate whatever it is you are trying to do. Such as make a phone call or play a song.

There has been a lot of complaints about the Voice Control but all in all it’s not bad, I find you have talk slow and clear to get it to work. When it finds what you command it reads it back to you and does not always pronounce names properly. For instance it calls Michael Buble; Michael Bubble.

And for whatever reason; every single time I say “Play Artist Bon Jovi” is plays Motley Crue. But that’s ok for me, and I’m thinking very few people still carry around Motley Crue songs on their iPhone.

In conclusion. I like the Voice Control feature on the new iPhone 3GS, it’s one of those things you will use to demo you new iPhone to your friends
