About voice control

Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages.
Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can use your voice to
control your GO.
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your GO or to change
settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colors or decrease the volume just by using
your voice.
Voice control is active in the map view, the guidance view, and the voice control screen.
Important: Voice control requires a voice that speaks street names. When there is no voice that
speaks street names installed and selected on your TomTom GO, this feature is not available.
To select a voice that reads aloud street names, select Voices in the Settings menu, then select
Choose a voice and select a Computer voice that reads aloud street names.

Starting voice control

In map view or guidance view, say the wake-up phrase to start voice control. The wake-up phrase is
"Hello, TomTom".
Tip: Voice control is off by default. You can turn the wake-up phrase on or off in the
menu.
Alternatively, you can select Voice Control in the Main Menu:
When voice control is ready to use, you see the voice control screen and your GO says "I'm listening."
Speak when you hear the beep.
