Some tips for using voice control

You can help your TomTom navigation app understand what you are saying by following these tips:
Mount your TomTom navigation app about an arm's length in front of you, away from speakers
or air vents.
Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may
need to speak in the direction of the microphone.
Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend.
When saying an address, try not to pause between parts of the address or add extra words.
Say "number one" or "number two" and not "one " or "two" when selecting an item from a list
such as a house number.
Try not to correct mistakes, for example "Number four, oh I mean number five."
Important: Voice control on your TomTom navigation app is specifically for native speakers of the
selected language who have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice
control may not understand everything that you say.

Saying commands in different ways

for example you can say the following words:
