Overview of types of voice command
A distinction is made between the following
voice commands:
Global voice commands can be said at any
R
time and regardless of the current applica‐
tion, e.g. the voice commands Navigate to,
Call or Text message to.
Application-specific voice commands are
R
only available for the active application.
Once the Voice Control System is started an
autocue is shown. Apart from the available voice
commands for the application currently active,
this also cites example voice commands for
other applications which are not active. In this
way, you will be familiar more quickly with the
available voice commands. The list can be scrol‐
led or it can be operated by speech or the con‐
troller/touchpad.
Notes on the language setting
You can change the language of the Voice Con‐
trol System via the system language settings. If
the set system language is not supported by the
Voice Control System, English will be selected.
The Voice Control System is available in English,
French, Portuguese and Spanish.
