Command prefix for voice commands

摘要

Methods, systems, and products describe hands-free operation of automotive features. A user defines a command prefix that is recognized as preceding one or more voice commands. When the user speaks the command prefix, a processor identifies the spoken command prefix and treats a next spoken word as one of the voice commands. The voice command may then be executed for control.
