Abstract
A "dialess" telephone communicates with a user via a visual display to provide readily-understandable cues which permit voice-controlled dialing. A number to be dialed may be spoken digit-by-digit and dialed automatically or a name may be spoken and the telephone will automatically dial the number stored in a user's repertory corresponding to the spoken name. Additions to and changes of names and/or numbers within a user's repertory is accomplished vocally and in response to visually-displayed cues. Up to four users may have independent repertory calling lists stored within a memory of the dialess telephone.
