56Speech recognitionSpeech recognitionGeneral information.....................56
Usage .......................................... 57General information
Embedded speech recognition The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to operate various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It recognises commands and numeric
sequences independently of the
relevant speaker. The commands
and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a pause between the
individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and/or acoustic feedback
and requests you 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 completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command.If the action takes more than one
command to be performed, proceed
as follows:
In the first command, you indicate the
type of action to be performed, e.g.
"Navigation destination entry". The
system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialogue for entering
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say "Navigation"
or "Destination entry".
Notice
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.
Language support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the currently selected display language is not supported by the
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.

58Speech recognition
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you must activate the speech recognition again.
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press the w or ─ buttons on the right
side of the steering wheel.
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing the w button on the steering
wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are several possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
■ Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
■ Press the n button on the right
side of the steering wheel.In the following situations a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
■ If you do not say any commands for
some time (by default you are
prompted three times to say a
command).
■ If you say commands that are not recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three
times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the task.
For best results: ■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
■ Say " Help" if you want to listen
again to the help prompt for the
current dialogue step.■ The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing the w button
again. If you wish to directly speak
your command, press the w button
twice.
■ Wait for the beep and then speak the command naturally. In most
cases, recognition rates will be higher if pauses are kept to a
minimum. Use short and direct
commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command. For example, "Call David Smith at
work", "Play" followed by the artist or
song name, or "Tune to" followed by
the radio frequency and the
waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state "Navigation" and then, e.g. "Address" or "Point of
Interest". The system responds with
requesting more details.
After saying "Point of Interest", only
major chains may be selected by
name. Chains are businesses with at
