Voice Recognition



Voice Recognition

The voice recognition system controls the following systems (where fitted):
^ Audio (radio and CD (compact disc) )
^ Telephone
^ Note pad
^ Touch screen display
^ Rear seat entertainment
^ Navigation.

On vehicles without the navigation system, the voice recognition software is contained in the telephone Transceiver Module (TM). The audio system is not supported for voice control by the TM, therefore voice operation of the audio functions is not possible.

On vehicles with the navigation system, the voice recognition software is contained in the navigation computer. The microphone is hardwired to both the navigation computer and the IHU. The navigation computer will allow voice control of the audio system, the telephone system, the rear seat entertainment and the navigation system. The navigation computer supports German, French, Italian, Spanish, USA, UK, Japanese, Dutch and USA languages with male and female voices.

The voice recognition system enables the driver to activate functions of the audio system without operating controls manually. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving the vehicle, improving safety. When the driver speaks one of the defined voice commands, with the voice recognition system active, the voice recognition software converts the command into a control signal for the audio system.

Audio Voice Recognition Functions

The radio can be accessed and controlled by the voice recognition system as follows:
^ Radio On This allows the user to operate the radio function. 'Radio on' switches the audio system to radio which comes on with the last selected station.
^ This allows the user to operate the radio function. 'Radio on' switches the audio system to radio which comes on with the last selected station.

^ Radio Tune This allows the user to tune the radio to the required frequency and waveband.
^ This allows the user to tune the radio to the required frequency and waveband.
^ Radio Presets This function allows the user to allocate a frequency against a given band preset. The radio must be tuned to the required frequency and wavelength before the preset is allocated. If a preset position already has a frequency and wavelength allocated, the new frequency and wavelength will over-write the existing preset. The auto-store function commands the radio to store the six strongest signals and allocate them against the auto-store presets. Voice commands allow the user to tune the radio to a given preset within the waveband which is currently selected.

^ Voice commands allow the user to tune the radio to a given preset within the waveband which is currently selected.
^ Radio Directory This function allows the user to add a 'nametag' to the current selected frequency and waveband including satellite stations when SDARS is fitted. The nametags are user repeatable association names given to identify a particular frequency and waveband. The voice recognition system allows 20 nametags to be stored. When the nametag function is operating the requested frequency and waveband is displayed in the instrument pack message center.

The CD (compact disc) autochanger can be accessed and controlled by the voice recognition system as follows:
^ The voice controls are standard control features with the exception of CD (compact disc) controls which can be accessed using the steering wheel switches. Commands are available for up to 256 tracks on a CD (compact disc). A text numeric format is used for track identification using three numbers, i.e. track 6 will be displayed as 006.MP3 format discs have commands for folder up/down.

The Touch Screen Display (TSD) responds to voice commands to allow the user to change the display mode.

Voice Recognition Settings
A number of settings allow the user to customize the voice recognition system as follows:
^ Voice Feedback On/Off This feature allows the user to switch audible feedback on or off for most functions, with the exception of some necessary function which must have feedback to operate correctly.
^ This feature allows the user to switch audible feedback on or off for most functions, with the exception of some necessary function which must have feedback to operate correctly.
^ Replay The replay command requests the voice recognition system to repeat the last dialogue response within a list in both audible and associated text feedback.
^ The replay command requests the voice recognition system to repeat the last dialogue response within a list in both audible and associated text feedback.
^ Notepad The notepad function allows the user to record a series of 10 notes for up to 5 minutes. The user can replay or delete the notes in the order in which they were recorded. It also allows the user to delete the entire contents of the notepad.

^ Traffic Message Channel (TMC) The TMC system is part of the navigation system (when fitted). The TMC system provides real time traffic information to the navigation system. The TMC voice commands can be used to switch the TMC On or Off.
