How do computer voices work?
Your navigation device makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate computer voices.
A text-to-speech programme converts written text, for example an instruction like “Turn right”,
into the sound of a human voice.
The text-to-speech programme looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the sound you
hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The programme is also able to recognise and
quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street names. For example, the English voice can
read French street names.
To change the voice being used by your navigation device, touch in the Change
preferences, then touch . Select a voice from the list.
Your navigation device has two different kinds of voices:
•
Computer voices
These are generated by your navigation device. They provide spoken instructions while
you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce messages, traffic
reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.
• Human voices
These are recorded by an actor.
NOTE
Human voices only provide spoken instructions.
NOTE
If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce commands, but not street
names. If you would like street names to be announced, you will need to select a computer
voice.
