How Does Voice Dialling Works for Droid? Also, Is It Accessible through a Head set as well?
Voice Dialling in Droid matches the sound with names feeded in your contacts section of phone. Let me explain this by an example. Suppose the name reads as Edward Office, then you need to speak ‘Edward Office’ after opening the voice dialling application. It will then ask you to verify the name appearing on screen and after the confirmation by hitting a button screen, the call is executed.
