About voice control
Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages. If your device has voice
control capability, you will see a Voice Control button in the main menu:
Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom VIA, you can use your voice to
control your VIA.
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your VIA, or to change
settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colours, avoid a blocked road or decrease
the volume just by using your voice.
Voice control is active in the map view, the guidance view, and the voice control screen.
Important: Voice control requires a voice that speaks street names. When there is no voice that
speaks street names installed and selected on your TomTom VIA, this feature is not available.
To select a voice that reads aloud street names, select Voices in the Settings menu, then select
Choose a voice and select a Computer voice that reads aloud street names.
Starting voice control
In map view or guidance view, say the wake-up phrase to start voice control. The default wake-up
phrase is "Hello TomTom", but you can make your own wake-up phrase.
Tip: Voice control and the wake-up phrase are ON by default. You can switch the wake-up phrase
on or off in the Settings menu.
Alternatively, you can select Voice Control in the Main Menu:
When voice control is ready to use, you see the voice control screen and your VIA says "I'm listening".
Speak when you hear the beep.
Note: If the volume control is set to 20% or lower, the volume automatically changes to 50% when
you start voice control.
Making your own wake-up phrase
You can make your own wake-up phrase to start Voice Control. You can choose any words you like to
make your wake-up phrase fun or easy to say.
To make your own wake-up phrase, do the following:
1. Select Voice Control in the Settings menu.
2. Select Change the wake-up phrase.
