About sounds and voices
Your TomTom GO LIVE uses sound for some or all of the following:
Driving directions and other route instructions
Traffic information
Warnings that you set
Hands-free phone calls
There are two types of voice available for your GO LIVE:
Voices that speak street names
Voices that speak street names are generated by your GO LIVE. They provide route instructions
and read aloud city and street names, traffic and other useful information.
Human voices
These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.
About voices that speak street names
Your TomTom GO LIVE uses text-to-speech technology to read the street names on your map as it
guides you on your route.
A voice that speaks street names analyzes the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure
that the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.
This type of voice can also recognize and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For example,
the English voice can read and pronounce French street names.
