Make a phone call by voice

Q: How do I trigger a call by voice?

You tap or double-tap anywhere on the screen in Lumyeye Pro to activate listening — no wake phrase to memorize, no button to aim at. You say "Call Anne", the call launches via the native iPhone app (or WhatsApp / FaceTime per your request).

Q: Is Lumyeye Pro VoiceOver-compatible?

Yes. Months of integration work were dedicated to VoiceOver compatibility: if you use VoiceOver to make calls, the flow stays smooth with Lumyeye Pro. For most interactions (contact confirmation, number readback), Lumyeye Pro uses a natural warm voice rather than VoiceOver's mechanical one.

Q: Do I need to create an account to test Lumyeye Pro?

No. Unlike Lumyeye Classic, Lumyeye Pro can be tested without creating an account: you download, you launch, it's immediate. A voice onboarding at first launch introduces the features. Email is only requested at first payment, after the 40 free queries.

"Call Alban" — contact search then immediate call via Phone, FaceTime or WhatsApp. A Pro-exclusive feature. Lumyeye Pro launches the call only; voicemail, history and blocking remain handled by iOS.

Sample transcript and context

"Call Alban." Lumyeye Pro searches contacts and offers: "I found 3 Albans: Alban Clochet (mobile), Alban Durand (landline), Alban Petit (WhatsApp). Which one?" Voice selection by number or last name. Call launched immediately.

If no exact match: "No Alban found. Want to search another way?" The AI can search by similar first name, nickname stored in contacts, or a recently dialed number. For users with many contacts, voice disambiguation is faster than a manual search.

Compatible with standard phone calls, FaceTime and WhatsApp. Lumyeye Pro simply launches the call; voicemail, call history and number blocking remain handled by iOS and the native apps.

Exclusive Lumyeye Pro feature because the voice command that places a call to a contact without touching the screen is Pro-only. Lumyeye Classic can read a number on screen or a name in a contact, but cannot launch a call by voice. Lumyeye Pro is available on iPhone 16+ at $16.99/month.

Frequently asked questions

About voice phone calls.

How does the AI distinguish multiple contacts with the same first name?

Lumyeye Pro asks you to specify: "You have 3 contacts named Mary: Mary Smith, Mary Jones, Mary aunt. Which one would you like to call?". You answer by voice, the call launches. To save time, tag your contacts with a descriptor (Mary PT, Mary neighbor, Mary sister).

Testimonial

Lucienne, 89, Strasbourg.

"I'm 89, I have AMD and a hearing aid. Before, calling my daughter Anne meant fumbling on screen for her contact, and I often gave up. Today I say 'Lumyeye, call Anne' and the call launches by itself. It's that simple, and it gave me back control of my phone."

Practical tips

Get the best out of this feature.

Save important contacts with a descriptor. Rather than "Mary" alone, save "Mary daughter", "Mary PT", "Mary upstairs neighbor". Lumyeye Pro confirms exactly who you're calling, avoiding stressful mix-ups.
Use voice shortcuts. Set up "Call Mom" as a shortcut in Siri/Lumyeye. One command, the call launches instantly. Particularly useful for emergency family calls.
Use FaceTime audio for call quality. FaceTime audio (between iPhones) offers far better sound quality than standard telephony. For long conversations with an iPhone-equipped family member, ask Lumyeye Pro to start a FaceTime audio call.
Combine with iOS silent-unknown-callers to reduce spam. Lumyeye Pro launches calls; it does not filter spam. To reduce nuisance calls, enable "Silence Unknown Callers" in iOS Settings.
