Speech Recognition Doesn't Understand All of My Voice Prompts

If the device is having difficulty understanding what you're saying, there are a few steps you can take to ensure optimum performance.

For Best Performance:

• Minimize ambient noise (e.g., car stereo, cell phones, speaking passengers, rolled down windows, etc.) which can muffle or drown out the speaker.

• Speak in a normal tone of voice; yelling can distort the voice.

• Speak at about the same distance away from the device as you would be when sitting in your car. Speaking directly into the microphone can distort the voice.

• Set the device's text and voice languages to the same language you'll be using with the voice command.

  • The selected voice language must be a Text-To-Speech (TTS) language.

  • Instructions for changing the device's voice language can be found in the device's owner's manual.

• While using voice command to find an address, say the house number, street name, city, and state altogether.

• Use the voice recognition feature frequently!

  • Our devices will adapt to the speaker's voice and accent over multiple uses.

  • If another user speaks to the device, the device will gradually adapt to their voice as well.

Following the tips above will help improve the overall performance of your device's voice recognition.
