Voice Commands - Alfa Romeo Blue & Me Nac User Manual

VOICE COMMANDS

Voice commands can be pronounced by the
driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is prop-
erly located and oriented to this purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recog-
nized by the system, are identified as "key-
words".
The hands-free phone system recognizes and
responds to a preset list of voice commands.
The list of available voice commands depends
on the keyword level that you are currently
on. The current list is always available by
pressing and pronouncing "Help" or, pro-
ô
nouncing "Help" after whichever question
of the system. Blue&Me™ Nav also rec-
ognizes personalized versions of voice com-
mands like the name of a contact in your
phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.
* Valid means that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™ Nav "dictionary" and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

To issue a voice command to the system,
press ô and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then, speak
the command in your natural voice at a mod-
erate pace. When the system recognizes the
command, it will acknowledge your com-
mand by speaking a response or acting on
your command.
Voice commands are organized according to
three increasing levels: 1 st level, 2
3 rd level.
When a valid * 1 level keyword is pro-
st
nounced, the system will activate 2
keywords; when a valid 2 level keyword
nd
is pronounced, the system will activate 3
level keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a keyword
leading to another level is given or the in-
teraction is interrupted; the same rule ap-
plies for the other lower levels (2
level).
For the list of available keywords, refer
to section VOICE COMMANDS (KEY-
WORDS) - SUMMARY.
To repeat the last system voice announce-
ment, press ô for longer than 1 second or

nouncement, press

A voice interaction is a two-way communi-
nd level and
cation/spoken exchange between system

ô
nd level versation and start a new one, press
any time during the conversation and pro-
rd nounce a vocal command.

nition is deactivated.

tem, say "Help" Listen to the list of cur-
rently available commands and decide on
