A user’s guide getting started with Shoebox voice commands

How to Create Records

The first trick to using beSpokn is to learn Speaking in Pairs. It’s the way to structure command statements. Just as with people who don’t understand you if you’re not on the same wavelength, your digital assistant will not understand you if you don’t speak its language: beSpokn! And don’t expect your DA to be conversational. DA is here to do one thing : do what it’s told!

Other Shoebox Commands

There are other types of commands for doing different things. These other Voice Commands will always begin “Hey Simon…” You should be familiar with this 🙂  Think about how you talk to your iPhone and then remember “Simon says….”

There are straightforward commands for getting reports, ledgers, exporting data, and more. Review the Command Catalog for more specific guidance.

Edit your Records

Any time you that you create a record you will receive an email. Remember, we’re not requiring you to put an app on your phone. We’re using apps you already have and know how to use. So we communicate with email. We return the results of your commands in the form of an email. Go to Editing records for more guidance on what you can do with records that are delivered to you. This is what our Lo-tech looks like and feels like. It’s different.
