Voice Recognition 41
.Use direct commands without a
lot of extra words. For example,
“Call at work,” “Play”
followed by the artist or song
name, or “Tune”followed by the
radio station number.
. Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command
using keywords. A few examples
are: “I want directions to an
address,” “I need to find a Place
of Interest or (POI),” or“Find
contact.”
The system responds by
requesting more details. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
. Navigating to a destination
outside of the current country
takes more than one command.
The first command is to tell the
system where the navigation will
take place, such as an Address,
Intersection, POI, or Contact.
If Address or Intersection is
selected, the second command
is to say, “Change Country.”
Once the system responds, say the country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection.
If POI is asked for, say
“Change
Location,” then“Change
Country.”
Direct commands might be more
clearly understood by the system.
An example of a direct command
would be “Call .”
Examples of these direct commands
are displayed on most of the
screens while a voice session is
active. If “Phone”or“Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example “Call
at work.”Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other displays.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Please select
manually or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to try
again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns to the display
where voice recognition was
initiated.

name>.”The command “Play
Album” must first be spoken; the
system will then ask for the album
name. The reply would be to say the
name of the album to play.
Once the number of files has
exceeded approximately 24,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If so,
accessing songs through playlists or
artist name may work better.Voice Recognition for
