Speech recognition77Speech recognitionGeneral information.....................77
Usage .......................................... 79General information
Embedded speech recognition The embedded speech recognition of the Infotainment system enables youto operate various functions of theInfotainment 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 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 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 performing the
desired actions. 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
kind of action to be performed, like
"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.
Important informationLanguage support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the display language currently selected is not supported by the
78Speech recognition
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.
In such a case, you need to select
another language for the display, if
you want to control the Infotainment
system via voice input. For
changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 40.Address input of destinations in
foreign countries
In case you want to enter the address of a destination located in a foreign
country via voice input, you need to
change the language of the
Infotainment display to the language of the foreign country.
E.g., if the display is currently set to
English and you want to enter the
name of a city located in France, you
need to change the display language
to French.
Exceptions: If you want to enter
addresses in Belgium, you may
optionally change the display
language to French or Dutch. For
addresses in Switzerland you mayoptionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.
For changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 40.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
destination is located.
■ Austria, Germany:
■ Belgium, France, Great Britain:
■ Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland:
Setting up the speech recognition Several settings and adaptions for the embedded speech recognition of the
Infotainment system can be
performed.
Press ; and then select the
SETTINGS icon.
Select Voice item to enter the
respective submenu.Confidence Threshold
Depending on the option selected in
the corresponding submenu, the
speech recognition appears more or
less 'confident' in correctly
understanding your commands.
Confirm More : If selected, the system
asks you relatively often to confirm your commands. Consequently, the
system performs the correct action in most cases.
80Speech recognition
You can now say a voice command to
directly initiate a system function
(e.g. playing a preset radio station), or
to start a dialogue sequence with
several dialogue steps (e.g. entering
a destination address), see
"Operation via speech commands"
further below.
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you need to
activate the speech recognition
again.Activation via the VOICE screen
button on the centre display
Select VOICE in the interaction
selector bar of a centre display main
menu.
The audio system mutes, a voice
output message prompts you to say a command, and a help menu with the
most important commands currently
available is shown on the centre
display.
As soon as the speech recognition is
ready for voice input, a beep is heard. The speech recognition symbol on
the right side of the help menu
changes from black to red.
You can now say a voice command,
see description above.
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press ! or # on the right side of the
steering wheel upwards (increase volume) or downwards (decrease
volume).
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing w on the steering wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, the
speech recognition symbol changes
to red, and a command can be stated
without having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are various possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
■ Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
■ Press n on the left-hand side of
the steering wheel.
■ If the speech recognition session was started via the VOICE screen
button on the centre display, you
may alternatively:
◆ Press ; on the instrument panel.
◆ Select m or Exit in the help
menu.
Speech recognition81
In the following situations, a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
■ If you do not say any command for a certain period of 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 action.
For best results: ■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
■ Say " Help" or read the example
commands on the screen.■ The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing w again.
■ Wait for the beep and then speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow. 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 a command that explains the type of destination
needed, such as "Directions to an
Address", "Navigate to an
intersection", "Find a Place of
Interest", or "Directions to a contact".
The system responds with requesting
more details.
When searching for a "Place of
Interest", only major chains may be
selected by name. Chains are
businesses with at least 20 locations.For other POIs, say the name of a
category like "Restaurants",
"Shopping centres", or "Hospitals".
Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567". Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of
the screens while a speech
recognition session is active.
If you say "Phone" or "Phone
commands", the system understands that a phone call is requested and
responds with respective questions
until enough details are gathered. If
the phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example "Call David Smith at work".Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
82Speech recognition
list on a screen during a speech
recognition session suspends the
current speech recognition event and
plays a prompt like "Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press the back
button on the faceplate, or press the
back screen button to try again".
If no manual selection is made within
15 seconds, the speech recognition
session terminates, you are prompted
with a message, and the former
screen is redisplayed.The "Back" command
To return to the previous menu,
optionally: say " Back", press k
BACK on the instrument panel, or
press m.The "Help" command
After saying " Help", the help prompt
for the current screen is read aloud.
Additionally, the prompt is displayed
on the screen.
Depending on how speech
recognition was initiated, the help
prompt is either displayed in the
Driver Information Centre or on the
centre display.To interrupt the help prompt, press w.
A beep is heard. You may say a
command.
