Best Practices |
The Administration Console provides Alternate Spoken Name fields where you can enter data that can help you prevent speech recognition problems by following these best practices.
When a user asks the Vocera Genie to contact a person or place in the address book, the speech recognition software tries to match the spoken name to a name in a user profile, a group, or an address book entry.
People may not always use the name that is entered in the system, however, or they may pronounce it in a way that the Vocera system does not recognize.
DO's | DON'Ts |
---|---|
DO use Alternate Spoken Names for users that make sense and do
so judiciously.
|
DON'T enter an alternate name unless it is really needed. Remember, the more alternate names that are entered, the more entries the system has to search through to determine a match for what a user requested in a command to the Genie. |
DO use real words. For example Lee Nguyen could have a phonetic Alternate Spoken Name of "Lee When". |
DON'T enter phonetic spellings if the words are nonsense. For instance do not enter "Lee neh wha enh" as a phonetic Alternate Spoken Name for Lee Nguyen. Since "Neh", "wha", and "enh" are not real words and are just as bad for speech recognition as not having the phonetic entry at all. |
DO:
|
DON'T:
Refer to the section titled “Using Numeric Values in Names“ in the Vocera Administration Guide for more information. |
DO completely spell out the full title or surname. For example, "Professor", "Doctor", or "Mister". |
DON'T use the abbreviated form of titles and surnames. For example, do not enter "Prof.", "Dr." or "Mr.". . |
