Read Today's Messages

There are new global grammars for accessing "today's" messages*. This new feature allows a user to play unread voice, fax and e-mail messages received on the current day, only. The "today" filter is added to other filtering mechanisms last so the other filters still apply: message limit, sort order, priority and message type. A mailbox is opened based on this list of filters. The filter for the current day is applied after the folder has been opened therefore all other filters are applied first.

DTMF Options

In the message summary menu (where users select new or saved messages after a message type selection has been made at the main menu), there is a new option, option 3, that allows hearing all the messages (unread) of the previously selected message type for the current day. Pressing this option will result in all unread messages of the previously selected type to be played. The user is prompted with "To listen to today's <message type> only, press 3." This option exists in all three message type menus where message status (read|unread) is selected. If saved messages is turned off by the user or if there are no saved messages, option two is skipped.

Voice Options

There are new global grammars for accessing "today's" messages*:

([play | get | check | listen to] today's voice [mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails] [message | messages]) | ([play | get | check | listen to] [my] voice [mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails] [message | messages] (for | from) today)

([play | get | check | listen to] today's (fax [mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails] | faxes [message | messages])) | ([play | get | check | listen to] [my] (fax [mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails] | faxes [message | messages]) (for | from) today)

([play | get | check | listen to] today's (mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails) [message | messages]) | ([play | get | check | listen to] [my] (mail | mails | E-mail | E-mails) [message | messages] for today)

      

The DTMF options listed above are also active for speech users.
