TomTom - Mazda NB1 Voice Recognition Instructions - July 2012
Improving the recognition
Here are a list of tips that you can use to improve the recognition of your spoken commands.
• It is very important to speak in a normal voice.
• Do not speak louder or softer than when you speak with another person.
• Do not try to articulate more than normal.
• Speak directly after the beep.
• Try to use a dierent command to get the same result. For example, to drive to an
address you can say:
• Drive to an address
• Take me to
• Instructions for
• Navigate to
• Do not use long pauses between words or your device may assume that you have
finished talking.
• Do not use ‘Uh’, ’mm’ or other words that can confuse your device. Your device will try
to match them with commands.
• Do not try to correct mistakes, for example, by saying “five no six”. When you make a
mistake, wait and then say “start over” at the next prompt.
• During address input, do not use “in <city name>“, just say the city name.
• Make sure that no music is playing in the background. Your radio mutes automatically.
• Other sources of speech such as passengers in the back of your car or the phone in
hands-free mode may confuse the system.
• In very noisy conditions you may get better results speaking towards the microphone.
• If your command or address is not understood you may want to try to speak it a little
dierently. This may be sucient for it to be recognised.
• If an address is recognised it is shown on the screen. To correct any errors, you can say
“Change street” or “Change city name” directly from this screen.
• When it is not possible to enter a specific address, please check if the address exists by
entering it manually. Voice Recognition can only find addresses that are known to the
device.
