Embedded speech recognition
This application is only applicable to Multimedia Navi Pro.
The embedded speech recognition of
the Infotainment system enables
operation of various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It recognises commands and numeric
sequences. The commands and
numeric sequences can be spoken
without a voice pause between the
individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and / or acoustic
feedback and requests to re-enter the
desired command. Apart from this,
the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
In general, there are different ways to
speak commands for performing the
desired actions.Note
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of the
system functions, the speech
recognition does not start until it has
been activated.
The system can only be operated by the driver.
Important informationLanguage support ● Not all languages available for the Info Display are also
available for the speech
recognition.
● If the display language currently selected is not supported by the
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.
In such a case, selecting another language is necessary to control
the Infotainment system via voice input.Address input of destination
Address input is only possible in the
language of the country of the
destination.

France, the display must be set to
French.
Note

languages can be used.

be used for Switzerland.Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address need to be entered using the speech recognition system is
dependent on the country where the

complete addresses. The city and
the street need to be entered.
Setting up speech recognition
Several settings and adaptions for the
