Usage .......................................... 63General information
Embedded speech recognition
The embedded 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 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.
Notice
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of thesystem 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
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. To change the display
language, see "Language" in
chapter "System settings" 3 27.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 Info-
Display to the language of the foreign country.
62Speech recognitionE.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 may
optionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.
For changing the display language,
see "Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 27.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:
● Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain,
Switzerland, Turkey:
Setting up the speech recognition
Several settings and adaptions for the embedded speech recognition of the
Infotainment system can be
performed.
Press ; and select SETTINGS on
the home screen.
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.
Confirm Less : If selected, the system
asks you less often to confirm your
voice inputs. Consequently, the
system might sometimes misinterpret your commands and not perform the
correct action.
Notice
When starting to use the speech recognition, it may be advantageous
to use the Confirm More setting. As
you get more experienced, i.e., you get to know how to pronounce your
commands in a way the speech
recognition understands you
correctly, it may be advantageous to
use the Confirm Less setting.
