V500/V525/V600 Voice Shortcuts - anyone got these to work?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

My new V500 allows me to record voice names for menu and web
shortcuts, but I can't get the phone to recognise them - it just
asks me to repeat the name then says "Voice name not found". Am
I missing a setting somewhere to enable this?

I don't think it's just a recognition problem. Voice dialling
works reliably from the phonebook. If I try to record the same
shortcut name again (without deleting the first), it warns me a
similar name is already stored and won't save it. Maybe the
phone is just searching the phonebook by default?

After I had recorded 5 web shortcut voice tags (while trying to
get even one to work), the phone says shortcut memory is full, so
this seems to be the capacity.

How do you setup this feature?

Thanks, I'll try again. You didn't do a Clear or Reset did you?
I tried switching the phone off and on after recording, as I'd
had to do to fix another problem (I think the keypad froze), but
it had no effect. I might try deleting all my voice dial tags if
I have no luck.

Ah! That's the trick. Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't appear anywhere in the User Guide.
I did ask the question on the support site, so maybe an answer
will appear their i.d.c.
