Playing Text Messages

You can use various messages, message settings, and commands to listen to text messages.

You must speak the modifying word "text" when you issue commands to play text messages.

If you do not speak the modifying words "voice" or "text" when you play messages, the Genie assumes you are working with voice messages.

Note: The "Play text messages" voice command is not supported on V5000 and Vina in the 6.x Vocera Platform releases.

Note: You can also play "text reminders" sent through the User Console using these commands.
