Voice activation 5
Using the system (continued)
Command confirmation and prompts
After a command has been given, the system will give feedback
of what it understood. The verbal feedback given can be
switched on or off by using the VOICE FEEDBACK ON or VOICE
FEEDBACK OFF commands. When off, feedback is still given for
help commands, directory listings, prompts, error messages and
nametags.
Visual confirmation of each voice command is shown on the
message centre. For radio and phone number nametags, the
radio station frequency or phone number associated with the
nametag is shown. NAVIGATION NAMETAG will be shown
when a stored navigation location is recalled. Messages will also
be shown on the system which is being controlled by the voice
command.
During some commands and for voice training, the user is
prompted by the system to respond. In such cases the user must
press and release the voice button then speak after the beep. If
the user does not respond to the system within five seconds, the
system will prompt twice more before the command is
canceled. This gives the user up to fifteen seconds to respond to
a system prompt.
For the phone dial commands, the system will prompt for
conformation before making the call. This confirmation can be
switched on or off by giving the PHONE CONFIRMATION ON
or PHONE CONFIRMATION OFF command.
Nametags
Nametags are a unique user defined name or phrase which can
be used to recall a radio station, dial a phone number or set a
route to a navigation memory point.
For radio commands, RADIO TUNE nametag is used to select a
station that has been previously stored using the RADIO STORE
NAME command.
For phone commands, PHONE DIAL nametag is used to call a
phone number that has been previously stored using the
PHONE STORE or PHONE ENTER command. Phone numbers
held in voice system memory are quite separate from numbers
held in the phone system memory. (To call a number held in the
phone memory, use the PHONE DIAL MEMORY command.)
For navigation commands NAVIGATION SELECT DESTINATION
nametag is used to select a location previously stored using the
NAVIGATION STORE NAME command. These locations can
then be recalled as destinations or waypoints as required.
Navigation memory points with a nametag also appear as part of
the navigation directory of stored locations.
A spoken list of current nametags can be heard by giving the
appropriate directory command see Voice command list on
page 9. There are also commands for deleting either individual
names in a directory, or a complete directory.
Notes:
1. Nametags should not be stored when the environment is
noisy, for example whilst travelling at speeds above 60mph
(100kph), whilst other occupants are talking or with windows
or sunroof open. Nametags recorded in these situations will
contain much more background noise, making them more
easily confused with other commands.
