A word from us:
Vocally is the fruit of years of researching, designing and building the most advanced in-line
voice recognition dialer in the market. We appreciate you for trusting us with this product and
wish you a long and enjoyable use with it.
Voice recognition is breaking new grounds every day and is being used in more and more
day-to-day appliances and devices. We ask you to keep just one thing in mind when using
Vocally: The machine cannot hear better then we do. It cannot understand human voice
when noises are present, exactly like us humans. Sometimes it even wants to hear something
twice, just to be sure, exactly like we do. With this in mind, we are confident you are going to
use Vocally to its best!
About this manual:
This manual is divided into four main parts:
1. Basic Use – Reading this part will enable you to connect Vocally, train it with names,
and most importantly, dial using your voice!
2. Advance Use – Reading this part will enable you to erase one name from memory,
erase the entire memory or just listen to the names already stored in memory.
3. Troubleshooting Guide – For any problem or question in operating Vocally, please
refer to this section.
4. Technical Details – Important notices and warranty information.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Vocally is for use with analog telephones only. It does not work with digital phones.
2. To override the Vocally for manually dialing the telephone, press any number key and
then the number wanted. For example, to manually dial ZYGO at 1 [phone]…
• Lift the handset
• Press a number key, like [5]
• Dial the number
• 5 1 503 684 6006

Part 1 - Basic Use:
Your first step – Installing Vocally:
In order to use Vocally, you first need to instal it by completing only three (3) very simple
steps, according to the following order:
A. Connect the supplied power adapter to the AC wall outlet and to the Vocally jack
marked ‘Power’. When the power is applied, you should see two bright blue LEDs
light up on the ‘phone’ and the ‘line’ jacks on the Vocally unit. This means the power
is ON. If you do not see these lights, please turn to our Troubleshooting Guide at the
end of this manual.
B. Connect the modular cord from your telephone to the Vocally jack marked ‘Phone’.
C. Using the modular cord supplied, connect the Vocally jack marked ‘Line’ to the
modular phone jack on your wall.
That’s It! Vocally is now ready to be used.
Your second step – Training the names:
Once Vocally is connected, you can start training it. The training instructions here are divided
into twwo separate parts: Training names and numbers (so you can later say a name and
have Vocally dial it for you) and commands (so you can later say a number to dial, digit-by-
digit, and have Vocally dial that number for you). You can choose to train Vocally only with
names & numbers, only with commands, or both—it is for you to decide.
Training Vocally with names & numbers:
A. Make a list of the names and numbers with which you wish to train the Vocally. THis
list is important because it will help make your training smoother. A few important tips
in listing the names are:
1. Do not use very short names, like ‘Joe’. Always try and use both first and last
names.
2. If two names are very similar (first or last names are the same in both names),
try training one of the names in reverse order to the other.
B. Choose a quiet moment, where no TV sounds or other background noises are
present. Training the unit in a noisy environment will result in poor recognition rates
later on.
C. Vocally is shipped with a blank memory. Pick up the handset. The unit will play back
the main menu. Press ‘1’ to train a new name.

D. When asked, say the name to be trained. You should speak clearly and as normal
as possible. When prompted, repeat the name, and if the training went well,Vocally
will ask you for the corresponding phone number. If the training failed, you will either
hear a sound , which means a general error happened during training, or you will
here the specific problem Vocally encountered during the training of the name.
E. When prompted, enter the number using your phone’s keypad. You can program up
to 35 digits. You can program pauses (3 seconds each) within the phone number (to
be used by PBX systems or calling cards) by programming two consecutive stars (*).
Press the pound key (#) when you are done programming the number. Vocally will
read back the phone number you have entered and will then store the name and
number.
F. Vocally automatically starts another name training cycle. If you fo not wish to
continue the training, you can simply hang-up or press the ‘#’ key to get back to the
main menu.
Training Vocally with commands (digits):
A. Choose a quiet moment, where no TV sounds or other backgraound noises are
present. Training the unit in a noisy environment wil result in poor recognition rates
later on.
B. Pick up the handset. If you have already trained Vocally with names, you will hear
the prompt “Name to dial please”. Press the # key following this prompt. If you did
not train it with names yet, you will hear the main menu. Press ‘5’ to train the
commands.
C. Vocally will now ask you to say the ten digits. You will only need to say each digit
once and Vocally will move on to the next digit.
D. Once the ten digits have been trained, Vocally will ask you to train the dialining
command. This can be any word you wish but ‘Dial’ is always a good choice.
Your third Step – Voice dialing
This is it. Vocally is now ready to listen to your voice and dial. Please follow these easy steps
to dial:
A. Pick up the handset. If you have already trained Vocally with names, it will prompt
you for “Name to dial please”. If you have trained it only with digits, it will prompt you
“Please say the number to dial, digit-by-digit”. At the prompt, say the name you wish
to call or the first digit of the number you wish to voice dial.
B. If you said a name, Vocally will play back the recognized name and will dial the
corresponding number. If Vocally did not recognize the name, it will say “I am sorry,
but I do not recognize this name” and you will be asked to try again. If Vocally still
does not recognize the name after 2 or 3 attempts, please turn to our
Troubleshooting Guide at the end of this manual.

C. If you said a digit, Vocally will respond with a short beep, telling you it had recognized
the digit you said and it is ready to hear the next. Keep saying the digits of the
number between the beeps. When you are done, say the dial command. Vocally will
now say “Dialing…” and will repeat the digits you have just said. Please listen to the
read digits and verify they are the digits you said. In case Vocally makes a mistake,
simply hang up. If all the digits are correct, Vocally will dial the number.
D. At the end of the call, simply hang up as you always do.
Please also note these following general remarks:
A. If you would like to manually call a number (not stored in memory), you can do the
following:
1. Pick up the handset.
2. After Vocally [rpmpts you for a name to call, simply press one of the phone keys,
except the pound (#) key. Vocally will switch the line in and let you dial manually.
B. You can disconnect Vocally from the power, if needed. The names and numbers will
not be lost and your phone will continue to operate normaly.
C. If you are using a cordless phone, please verify that the line is ‘clean’ with no ‘white’
noises. These ‘white’ noises, usually occurring when the mobile part of the cordless
phone is far from its base, can cause difficulties in recognizing names for Vocally.
D. Accessing the main menu once memory has at least one name stored in it is done in
the following way:
1. Pick up the handset.
2. After Vocally prompts you for a name to call, press the ‘#’ key.
E. Vocally is based on a Speaker Dependent voice recognition engine and technology.
This means that only the person who trained Vocally will be able to use it. However,
two or more users can share Vocally, each having his/her own names and numbers
stored and called independently.
F. Vocally will recognize names and commands best on the same phone with which the
names were trained. Using other phones may work, but can lead to poor recognition
results. Multiple Vocally dialers can be placed in one house, each working
independently on the phone to whichit is connected.
G. Using Vocally with an answering machine: We have found that you cannot screen
calls on your answering machine with Vocally attached. Once the calls are answered
by the machine, you cannot pick up the phone and talk. We also recommend that
you set the answering machine to the maximum number of rings so you can answer
in time.
H. Using Vocally with a Y-jack (duplex jack): The Y-jack needs to go into the Vocally
inlet where it is marked “Phone” instead of putting the Y-jack into the wall jack.
I. Connecting other devices to the line: In case other devices need to connect to the
phone line, such as an answering machine or caller ID device, Vocally has to be
connected directly into the wall jack. The telephone goes to the extra device, extra
device goes into Phone inlet in Vocally, line cord goes from Vocally Line inlet ti wall
jack.
