Voice Recognition
55
.
Voice recognition prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
g
on the steering
wheel controls again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g
again and
wait for the beep.
.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example,
“
Call David Smith
at work,
” “
Play
”
followed by the
artist or song name, or
“
Tune
”
followed by the radio station
number.
.
Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an
“
Address,
”
“
Navigate to an intersection,
” “
I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,
”
or
“
Directions to a
Contact.
”
The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying
“
Place of Interest,
”
only major chains are available
by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like
“
Restaurants,
”
“
Shopping Malls,
”
or
“
Hospitals.
”
Some languages support complete
destination requests in a single
command. If your language
supports it, try stating a One-Shot
command such as,
“
Navigate to
Address one two three Main Street,
Lansing Michigan.
”
Another
example of a One-Shot Destination
Entry command is,
“
Navigate to
Place of Interest
–
Hotels.
”
If these
commands do not work, try saying
“
Navigate to Place of Interest
”
or
“
Navigate to Address
”
and the
system will come back and ask for
details of your destination.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be
“
Call 555-1212.
”
Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If
“
Phone
”
or
“
Phone Commands,
”
is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“
Call David Smith
at work.
”
