About voice control
Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages.
Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom device, you can use your voice to control
your device.
For example, to increase the volume on your device, you can say "Increase volume".
To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu, tap Product manuals and then
tap What can I say?
Important: Voice control requires a computer voice. When there is no computer voice installed
and selected on your TomTom device, this feature is not available.
To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Settings menu, then tap Change voice and select a
computer voice.
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.
