UmeSkype features overview part 1

Calling Skype contacts

When you start up UmeSkype, the contacts tab shows 2 columns:
the voice alias and the skype handle. The first time you run
UmeSkype, the voice aliases will all be identical to the skype
handles. This means that there could be voice aliases that
are difficult for you to say, as well as for the speech recognizer
to understand.



You can change any voice alias in windows explorer style
by "slow double-clicking" on an alias (i.e. click, wait, and click again),
and then typing in the new alias when it becomes editable.


You should use create voice aliases that are both
familiar to you and easy to pronounce for you.

Dial [phone number] is not recognized! However call [alias] is recognized. Am I doing something wrong?

You have to say the phone number exactly in a 10 digit number format:
e.g. dial 4158831500
You cannot omit the area code (as of now), or add country codes to the beginning.

If you are not sure, send me the exact phrase that you are speaking.

If you still have trouble, I recommend going thru the training (at least the first session) for microsoft speech. More details here: http://www.umevoice.com/umeskype/tips.htm

Hope this helps.
