Voice Command Details. Getting Talkler's Attention.

 

To get Talkler’s attention, so Talkler is listening for a voice command.

Say… “Hey, Talkler.” 

Like “Simon says…” Just say, “Hey, Talkler” before most voice commands, so Talkler is ready and listening for a command. Sometimes, Talkler already knows to listen for a voice command. For example, after Talkler asks, “Are you ready to send your recorded reply now?” — Talkler knows to listen for “Yes” or “No.” If the Listening Microphone appears automatically, or if you hear the Listening Mic Bloop sound, then don’t say “Hey, Talkler.” Just speak the command — Talkler is already listening.
