About voice control
Note: Voice control is only available when your TomTom BRIDGE is in the dock and the micro-
phone is connected.
Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom BRIDGE, you can use your voice to
control your TomTom navigation app.
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your TomTom navigation
app or to change settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colors 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 BRIDGE, 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 wake-up phrase is
"Hello, TomTom".
Tip: Voice control is off by default. You can turn 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 TomTom navigation
app 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.
