Abstract
A blended callflow method in which a spoken digit dial option is added to the caller options for dialing. By automatically switching from an implicit to an explicit mode during such an option, without requiring an explicit command from the caller, the present invention allows a more detailed call flow and allows the caller to confirm the number's accuracy, prior to dialing. The method may also switch between modes where spoken input is received near the expiration of a receiver offhook (ROH) timer.
