tions 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 Mazda NB1 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 en-
sure 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 exam-
ple, the English voice can read and pronounce French street names.

Selecting a voice

To select a different voice on your Mazda NB1, either tap Change voice in the Settings menu or
tap Voices, then tap Change voice and select the required voice.

Changing the volume level

You can change the volume on your Mazda NB1 in the Driving view.
Tap the central panel on the status bar and move the slider to adjust the volume. The last route
instruction is played so you can hear the new volume level.
