Voice dial but only 16 letters?

[lgmayka]

On my MM-9000, I just noticed that a contact's name can be no longer than 16 letters. This difficulty becomes much worse when combined with automatic-voice-recognition dialing.

Let's say that the name a contact is known by is Antoinette Gunnison. This is much longer than 16 letters, so a program like SnapSync will automatically truncate it to

Antoinette Gunni

But if I want to use voice recognition on her name, this truncated form is absurd. I will never remember to refer to her by a shortened last name.

If she commonly used a shorter form of her first name, I could use that. But she doesn't. So the best I can come up with is

Antonet Gunnison

I think that the phone's voice recognition will match that shortened name to the name I speak.


But my point is that this is all rather silly. The phone has many megs of storage. It should be able to handle names longer than 16 letters.

Is that how you recorded it as a voice tag? or are you not doing the voice tag?

[lgmayka]

No, I did not record it as a voice tag. I think the phone allows me only 20 voice tags, total. I am merely pointing out a deficiency of the phone that Sanyo ought to remedy--ideally in a firmware update, but realistically in the next model.
