Using The Voice Control System; Improving Voice Recognition - Honda Civic Navigation Manual

Using the Voice Control System

You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
"back-up" method of entry.
Most of the system's functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control your navigation system by
voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with "Pardon,"
"Please repeat," or "Would you say
again." If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say "Help" at any
screen. The system can then read the list
of commands to you.
When you speak a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off. See
the Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as "Please use
the touch screen to..." or "Please choose
an area with the joystick," the system is
asking for input that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.
Getting Started

Improving Voice Recognition

To achieve optimum voice recognition,
the following guidelines should be
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 126.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.
• The fan speed will be automatically
adjusted to low during voice
recognition.
• Adjust the air flow from the
dashboard vents so they do not blow
against the microphone on the
ceiling.
• After pressing the NAVI TALK
button, wait for the beep, then give a
voice command.
• Give a voice command in a clear,
natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
