Playing Text Messages

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

If you do not speak the modifying words "voice" or "text" when you play messages, the Genie does the following:

If you have only one type of messages (voice or text), the Genie automatically plays back the messages.
If you have both types of messages, the Genie walk you through a dialog to play out both voice and text messages.

Note: The voice commands for playing text messages are not supported on Vina in the 6.x Vocera Platform releases. Starting Vocera Platform 6.5 release, these commands are supported on the V5000 Smartbadge.

You can use the following commands to work with text messages, regardless of whether they were sent through the User Console or by email:

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