Using voice control

To switch on voice control and show the button in the Driving view, tap Voice control in the Settings menu and select Enable voice control.

To switch off voice control and remove the button from the Driving view, tap Voice control in the Settings menu and select Disable voice control.

The following example shows how to use voice control to plan a journey to your Home address:

1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving view to turn on the microphone.

   

   You see a screen with examples of commands you can say.

   Tap What can I say? to see a full list of commands you can say. Alternatively, tap Settings in the Main menu, tap Voice control and then tap What can I say?

2. When you hear the beep, say a command of your choice. For example, you can say "Navigate home". Your device is only ready to listen after your hear the beep.

   While you are speaking the microphone monitor shows how well the device can hear your voice:

   • A green bar means the device can hear your voice.
   • A red bar means your voice is too loud for the device to recognise individual words.
   • A grey bar means your voice is too quiet for the device to recognise individual words.

   For some phrases, your device asks for confirmation.

   Tip: For the best recognition of what you say, speak normally without trying to articulate words in an unnatural way. If there is excessive road noise, for example, you may need to speak in the direction of the microphone.

3. If the command is correct, say "Yes."

   If the command is incorrect, say "No" and repeat the command after you hear the prompt and beep again.

Your device plans a route from your current location to your destination.

Tip: To stop your device from listening out for further commands, say "Cancel". To go back one step, say "Back".
