❒
Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}
.
❒
After you press
‘
, if you do not is-
sue a voice command within a few sec-
onds, the system will prompt you to
pronounce a voice command. If you do
not respond, then voice recognition
shuts off. It is the same case with not
responding to a question during a voice
interaction. You will hear a tone indi-
cating when voice recognition is deac-
tivated.
❒
When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you an-
other opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appro-
priate for the given context, pronounce
“Help”.
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occa-
sionally misrecognize a voice command.
To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒
After pressing
‘
, pronounce the voice
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is ac-
tive.
❒
After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recog-
nition is active.
❒
If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has fin-
ished its announcement or question,
you can press again shortly
‘
to in-
terrupt what the system is saying and
pronounce your command.
❒
Speak at a normal volume.
❒
Pronounce words clearly, in your nat-
ural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.
❒
If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the car.
❒
Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice com-
mands to prevent misunderstanding
since the system could recognize oth-
er words (in addition to or different
from your voice command) if several
people are speaking.
❒
If your car has a convertible top, close
it before using voice recognition.
Notes
As concerns countries where the version
in native language is not available, voice
recognition of the different commands and
phonebook contacts could be difficult.
You are therefore recommended to adopt
a pronunciation/accent meeting the lan-
guage present on Blue&Me
™
.
