Voice command and control
Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can now give
instructions to your GO using your voice.
For example, to increase the volume on your GO, you can say, "Increase vol-
ume."
Important: To use command and control, you must have a computer voice
installed on your TomTom GO. You can install computer voices using
TomTom HOME.
To view the list of available commands, tap Command and control in the Pref-
erences menu and then tap What can I say?
Using voice command and control
Note: You must select a computer voice in order to use voice command and
control. To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Preferences menu, then
tap Change voice. Select a computer voice.
In this example, you will use voice command and control to plan a journey to
your Home address.
1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving View.
Note: To add or remove this button from the Driving View, tap Com-
mand and control in the Preferences menu, then tap Enable command and
control or Disable command and control.
The microphone monitor is shown in colour, unless command and control
is busy with another task.
2. When you hear a beep, say, "Navigate to Home."
When you speak, the microphone monitor shows if you are talking too
loudly or quietly:
A green bar means your voice is at the right level for your device
to hear your commands.
A red bar means your voice is too loud.
A grey bar means your voice is too quiet.
For some phrases, your device repeats the command, then asks you if the
command has been correctly recognised.
