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 VIA, you can use your voice to control your
VIA.
For example, to increase the volume on your VIA, you can say, "Increase volume."
To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu then tap Product manuals and
then tap What to say.
Important: Voice control requires a voice that speaks street names. When there are no voices that
speak street names installed on your TomTom VIA, this feature is not available.
To select a voice that speaks street names, tap Voices in the Settings menu, then tap Change
voice and select a voice that speaks street names.

Voice control is switched on by default if it is supported for your chosen language.
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 trip 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 to say to see a full list of commands you can say. Alternatively, tap Settings in the
Main menu then tap Voice control and then tap What to say.
2. When you hear "Say a command" followed by a tone, say a command of your choice. For
example, you can say "Drive home." Your VIA is only ready to listen after your hear the tone.
