4 Voice Recognition
Vehicles with this version of the TCU will use a Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR)
system instead of a Speaker Dependent Voice Recognition (SDVR) system.
The benefit of an SIVR system over an SDVR is that it gives the user the ability to expand their Hands
Free calling capabilities beyond calling using voice tags. The user can utter commands, names, and
numbers without first having to record their voice.
The TCU will process the utterance and match to expected words in a particular language, giving the
user the increased Hands Free capability. For example, the user can simply say, “redial” or dial by
number using SIVR. Please see the Voice Tree Navigation section for all of the SIVR capabilities.
4.1 SIVR Voice Tree Overview
When SIVR is not active, the system defines this to be VR Idle state. The user initiates SIVR by
pressing the Talk Button. Once pressed, available SIVR functions are presented to the user in a
sequenced menu structure. In other words, only certain VR commands are available at certain times as
the user executes a VR session.
The menu structure, with its associated branches and allowed verbal commands, is defined in the
Voice Tree. Please see the following diagram for available commands.
