Voice Command Cheat Sheet for Treo 700w

===== CALLING A CONTACT =====
Commands:
Call <contact>
Call <contact> at home
Call <contact> at work
Call <contact> on mobile
Call <contact> on cell
Call <contact> on cellular
Call <contact> at home two
Call <contact> at work two
Call <contact> at car
Call <contact> on radio

To confirm that you want to make the call after Voice Command responds:
You can say "Yes" or "Correct" to call.
You can say "No" or "Incorrect" to try again.
If Voice Command asks you which location, you can:
Repeat one of the locations that Voice Command offers to call.
Say "No" to try again.

Related commands:
You can say "Call back" to call back the last call that you received.
You can say "Redial" to call back the last call that you made.

Examples:
Call Karen Archer on cell
Call Frank Miller
Call City Light and Power
Call Karen Archer Home

Notes:
Voice Command indexes by the Contact's first and last name if it exists. If you have a nickname entered, you can use that
too. Voice Command will only let you call by company name if there is no first or last name.
You must prefix contact calling with the "call" keyword. If you use "dial", it won't work!

You can print out a PDF version from here:

The PDF version has another section for the status commands.

Having the cheat sheet is really useful when you start learning the commands.
Voice Command is very good and recognizing the commands it's listening for, and very bad at handling commands it isn't listening for.
