  44. So now, let's use the stroke dialer for something practical ---
  45. let's make phone calls with our smart phone!
  46. Well, we know Marvin would disapprove if we <i>just</i> made phone
  47. calls, so rest assured, we'll do a lot more later!
  48. </p>

  50. Pressing the <u>call</u> button on Android phones launches the
  51. built-in dialing application. When using the Marvin shell,
  52. pressing this button launches the <i>Talking Dialer</i> application
  53. &mdash; if you are not using Marvin as your home screen, you can
  54. launch this dialer as you would launch any Android application.
  55. </p>
  56. <p>
  57. The <i>Talking Dialer</i> announces <u>dialing mode</u> upon start up.
  58. You can start dialing using the technique described in the
  59. <a href="./02-strokes.html">previous video on stroke dialer</a> &mdash; if you make a mistake, simply
  60. shake the phone to erase. Once you have finished dialing, press
  61. the <u>call</u> button to initiate the call. The application speaks
  62. the number you're about to dial, and makes the call once you
  63. press the <u>call</u> button to confirm.
  64. But you say
  65. <pre class="example">
  66. Dialing phone numbers is so passe'!
  67. </pre>
  68. </p>
  69. <p>
  70. &mdash; well, there is still hope for the <i>Talking Dialer</i>. In
  71. addition to <u>dialing mode</u>, the <i>Talking Dialer</i> provides an easy
  72. to use <i>Talking Phonebook</i> that provides eyes-free access to your
  73. contact list &mdash; we will cover this in our <a href="./04-phonebook.html">video on the talking phonebook</a>.
