You can control many of the phone functions with your voice. You can call contacts from the address book, dictate messages and search the internet. To use voice control, you need to select voice control settings.

Say, in your own words, what you would like your phone to do, e.g.: CAMERA, CALL [contact], SEARCH THE WEB FOR [information].
If an application is open on your phone, such as Email, you can also use the functions available here, e.g.: reply to this email.
