What are the Voice Control commands for the iPhone 3GS?

When I first started using the Voice Control feature on the iPhone 3GS, I was amazed by the convenience of just letting it to the phone calling for me. However, I soon realized that I was missing out on a huge amount of other functionality available with this feature. But this was another unclear area of this new feature. So I decide to look for a complete list of all of the commands you can perform and how to use each of them. This information is available from Apple here but I thought I would make it available also.

To trigger Voice Control:

Press and hold the Home button until the Voice Control screen appears and you hear a beep. Then use the commands described below to make calls or play songs.

You can also press and hold the center button on the iPhone headset to bring up Voice Control.

To call someone in contacts:

Say “call” or “dial,” then say the name of the person. If the person has more than one phone number, you can add “home” or “mobile,” for example.

To dial a number:

Say “call” or “dial,” then say the number.

To make a correction:

Say “wrong,” “not that one,” “not that,” “no,” or “nope.”

To control music playback:

Say “play,” or “play music.” To pause, say “pause,” or “pause music.” You can also say “next song” or “previous song.”

To play an album, artist, or playlist:

Say “play,” then say “album,” “artist,” or “playlist” and the name.

To shuffle the current playlist:

Say “shuffle.”

Find out more about the currently playing song:

Say “what’s playing,” “what song is this,” “who sings this song,” or “who is this song by.”

Use Genius to play similar songs:

Say “Genius,” “play more like this,” or “play more songs like this.”

Cancel Voice Control:

Say “cancel.”

For best results:

• Speak into the iPhone microphone as if you were making a phone call. Or use the microphone in the included headset.
• Speak clearly and naturally.
• Say only iPhone commands and names, and numbers. Pause slightly in between.
• Use full names.
