Hands-free phone calls
There are two types of voice available for your Blue&Me TomTom 2 LIVE:
Computer voices
Computer voices are generated by your Blue&Me TomTom 2 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 computer voices
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 LIVE uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the
street names on your map as it guides you on your route.
The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure that the
sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.
Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For example, the
English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names.
Selecting a voice
To select a different voice on your Blue&Me TomTom 2 LIVE, tap Voices in the Settings menu.
Then tap Change voice and select the required voice.
