Some tips for using voice control
You can help your TomTom navigation app understand what you are saying by following these tips:

Mount your TomTom navigation app about an arm's length in front of you, away from speakers
or air vents.
 Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may
need to speak in the direction of the microphone.

Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend.
 When saying an address, try not to pause between parts of the address or add extra words.
 Say "number one" or "number two" and not "one " or "two" when selecting an item from a list
such as a house number.

Try not to correct mistakes, for example "Number four, oh I mean number five."
Important : Voice control on your TomTom navigation app is specifically for native speakers of the
selected language who have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice
control may not understand everything that you say.
