About sounds and voices
Your TomTom Rider device uses sound for some or all of the following:
 Driving directions and other route instructions
 Warnings that you set
 Hands-free phone calls
There are two types of voice available for your device:
 Computer voices
Computer voices are generated by your device. They provide route instructions and read

These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.
