Right out of the box, the Droid 2 does a reasonably OK job of understanding your commands. But you can improve its accuracy if you’re willing to spend a few annoying minutes training it.
To do so, when you’re in Voice Commands, press the Menu key and select Settings→Adaption→Adapt Voice. You get a brief warning that you should train the Droid 2 in a quiet room. After you’ve gone to a quiet room (and you should, because otherwise the training won’t work well), tap Start to begin.
The Droid 2 asks you to say a series of commands, names, and numbers, such as “Call Don Jacobs Mobile.” If it doesn’t understand you, it asks you to say it again. After about 5 minutes of this, you’re done. It won’t make a massive change in the ability of the Droid 2 to understand you, but it will improve recognition rates.
