First Claim
1. A method of operating a telecommunications device, said method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of first audio samples, each of said first samples corresponding to one of a set of individual dialing elements, said set of individual dialing elements including numeric digits 0-9;
receiving a plurality of second audio samples, each of said second samples corresponding to one of a set of executable commands, said set of executable commands including a first command defined to dial a phone number loaded into a buffer;
storing the received first and second samples;
receiving a plurality of audio inputs;
comparing the audio inputs to the stored samples;
loading individual dialing elements into the buffer in response to receiving audio inputs substantially matching first samples corresponding to the respective individual dialing elements, said individual dialing elements loaded in the buffer defining the phone number; and
, dialing the phone number in the buffer in response to receiving an audio input substantially matching the second sample corresponding to the first command.

Abstract
A method of operating a telecommunications device (10) is provided. The method includes receiving and storing a plurality of first audio samples. Each of the first samples corresponds to one of a set of individual dialing elements, the set of individual dialing elements including numeric digits 0-9. The method also includes receiving and storing a plurality of second audio samples. Each of the second samples corresponds to one of a set of executable commands, the set of executable commands including a first command defined to dial a phone number loaded into a buffer (22). A plurality of audio inputs are received and compared to the stored samples. Individual dialing elements are loaded into the buffer (22) in response to receiving audio inputs substantially matching first samples corresponding to the respective individual dialing elements. The individual dialing elements loaded in the buffer (22) define the phone number. The phone number in the buffer (22) is dialed in response to receiving an audio input substantially matching the second sample corresponding to the first command.
