  What reQall Understands Back to top  
 
 
There are two ways to tell reQall what to do with your voice or text message: you can use the In and For buttons or you can include keywords that reQall understands in your message. Using the In and For buttons overrides any keywords you may have used in your message.

Keyword Location Result
“Buy” Anywhere in the item Adds the item to your  Shopping List. Example: “Buy milk, eggs, and diapers.”
“Note” First word Creates a Note. Example: “Note: Jesse’s address is 434 Maple Terrace.”
“Meet” or “Meeting” First word Creates a special kind of To-Do that is labeled as an ‘event” and can be incorporated into an iCal. Example: “Meet John today at 3:30 pm”
“Ask” or “Tell” or “Remind” [followed by the name of a reQall buddy] First word when adding by text; must use For button when adding by voice Creates a To-Do for your reQall buddy. Example: “Tell Sarah to pick up Maria after school tomorrow.” If you want it to be added to your buddy’s Shopping List, include the word “buy.”  Example: “Remind Roger to buy bread after work today.”


User Tips

  • Items that don't contain any of the above keywords are assumed to be regular To-Dos.

reQall also understands dates and times.

  • Days of the week ("Monday," "Tuesday")
  • Dates ("January 11," "August 31st," "January 2, 2008")
  • "Today," "tomorrow," "yesterday"
  • "This Thursday" (the first Thursday that occurs after today)
  • "Next Thursday" (the second Thursday that occurs after today)
  • Times such as 10:30, 10:30 p.m., 8 am.

User Tips

  • If a reminder has a time but no date, it is created for Today, even if the time has already passed
  • Always include AM or PM with times so that there is no confusion. Use two periods (a.m.) or none (AM).
  • Always use a colon between the hour and the minutes when writing times.
