Speaking during voice output
It is possible to answer during inquiries of the
voice activation system. The function can be de‐

rupted, for instance due to background noise or
talking.

Online speech processing
Online speech processing provides a dictation
function, a natural method of entering destina‐
tions and improves the quality of voice recogni‐
tion. To use the functions, data is transmitted to
a service provider via an encrypted connection
and stored locally there.
