Voice Recognition 55
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
gagain and
wait for the beep.
. Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
. 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”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an “Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,”
“I need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying “Place of Interest,”
only major chains are available by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like
“Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or“Phone Commands,” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with 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.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press
qBACK or
SBACK on the center stack,
or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to try again.”

58 Voice Recognition
There are no restrictions if the
number of song files and albums is
less than 4,000. When the number
of song files connected to the
system is between 4,000 and 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play .”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song”must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
4,000 albums, but less than 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like,
“Play .” The
command “Play Album” must first be
spoken; the system will then ask for
the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play. Once the number of songs has
exceeded approximately 8,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
Voice Recognition for
Navigation
“Navigation”
:Begin a dialog to
enter specific destination
information.
“Navigation Commands” :Begin a
dialog to enter specific destination
information. “Destination Address”
:Begin a
dialog to enter a specific destination
address, which includes the entire
address consisting of the house
number, street name, and city and
state/province.
“Destination Intersection” :Begin
a dialog to enter a specific
destination intersection.
“Destination Place of Interest” :
Begin a dialog to enter a destination
Place of Interest category or major
brand name (if equipped).
Not all brand names of businesses
are available for voice entry. Most
major chains, such as chains with
more than 20 locations, should be
available to search for by name, but
the name must be precisely spoken.
Nicknames or short names for the
businesses will not likely be found.
Lesser known businesses might
have to be located by category,
such as fast food, hotels, or banks.
“Destination Contact” :Begin a
dialog to enter a specific destination
contact name.
