Getting Ready chapter. Do this … Press the HELP key on the DCP.
Chapter 2 – Using Speech Commands Auto PC can understand words and short phrases spoken as commands, called “speech commands.” Using voice commands while driving allows you to operate the system without distracting your attention away from the road or removing your hands from the wheel. Auto PC doesn’t listen for speech commands all of the time. If you want to give commands to your Auto PC, you must first wake it up. Also, only a few commands, called “global commands” are available all of the time.
Guidelines for speech commands The Auto PC has been optimized to recognize adult speakers. Use the following guidelines when giving commands to Auto PC: 1. Remember to wake up Auto PC. 2. Say each command clearly and distinctly, but don’t shout. 3. Wait for the “heard” tone before saying another command. 4. Wait for Auto PC to stop talking, or press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key to interrupt. 5. Decrease background noise. 6. You may need to train Auto PC to understand how you say one or more speech commands.
Getting help with speech commands How Auto PC HELP illustrates voice commands and response tones While in the Start menu you can press HELP to get assistance with speech commands. You will see voice commands and how Auto PC responds with musical tones. Auto PC tells you it is “listening” to you with a specific tone, and that it has “heard” your voice command with another different tone. You see both the commands and tones represented on the Auto PC HELP display.
If, after saying “Auto PC” you do not hear the “listening tone,” consult the Tips and Troubleshooting chapter of this manual. Tones that help you give speech commands Auto PC has three tones that help you give speech commands: 1. When you wake up Auto PC, you’ll hear the awake tone, and see a green speech command timeout bar on the bottom of the screen. 2. When Auto PC hears you, you’ll hear a short “heard tone.” 3.
Chapter 3 - Getting Ready Before you start using your Clarion AutoPC system, take a few minutes to become familiar with the unit. Two ways Auto PC gives you information Your Auto PC gives you information in two ways: 1. By displaying information on the screen. 2. Through voice synthesis, Auto PC reads status information or other requested information.
Display layout Press (enter) to go into Address Book program Address Book icon Program icons 1, 2, … Left/right navigation icon Current icon number ((( “Listening” timeout expiration status Green bar (Auto PC is “listening”) or Blue bar (Auto PC is “talking”) Green bar shows how much “listening” time remains When you say “Auto PC” or use PTT, Auto PC “listens” for speech commands and a green bar appears across the bottom of the display.
NOTE: Neither the green bar nor the blue bar is displayed if the listening timeout is set to Always (see the Customizing your Auto PC chapter). Hold PTT to make Auto PC listen If you press and hold the PTT key, Auto PC continues listening until you release the key. Using Speech to go to a program You can go to some programs by saying the program name. The program names available as default global commands are: Radio, CD Player, Directions, Address Book, and Messages.
Example: To Wake up Auto PC speech recognition Go to CD Player program Say Auto PC CD Player You’ll hear and current program name. You can eliminate current program name feedback. See Customizing Your Auto PC, Speech feedback. (speech command heard) Using keys to go to a program Auto PC has a Start menu that you can use to go to programs. The Start menu has an icon for each program installed on your Auto PC.
To use the keys to go to a program Examples To Display the Start menu Select (highlight) a program icon in the Start menu Go to the selected program Go directly to a program with the program’s shortcut number1 Press or (enter) or Hold 0-9 You’ll see The Start menu The Start menu cycles through the program icons The program’s main screen The program’s main screen, then 0-9 if note: press display is not at Start menu 1.
Navigating within programs You can navigate within a program by pressing the MENU key on the DCP.
How commands are shown in this manual Here’s how voice and manual commands are shown in this document. The Push-To-Talk button (PTT) may be used in place of speaking “Auto PC” to “wakeup” the Auto PC.
