Voice Recognition

Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
steering wheel or touching
infotainment display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches such as
selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing the controls,
and are not supported by voice
commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
g
than one command to complete, the
on the
first command should be to indicate
g
on the
the kind of task to be performed, like
Navigation Destination Entry. The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
Navigation or Destination Entry.
If your language supports it, try
stating a One-Shot command, such
as Navigate to Address <number,
street, city, and state>. This type of
destination entry command is
supported in some languages.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
Navigate to Place of Interest
Hotels. If these commands do not
work, try saying, Navigate to Place
of Interest or Navigate to Address
and the system will do the rest.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) in the owner's manual.
Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along
with the system s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
