Spoken Commands

Daggers · Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 10:24 pm Post subject: Spoken Commands

When I first got my TT520, I was able to operate it with simple spoken commands. For example, when it offered me an alternative route due to traffic, I could shout "Yes" or "No" at the device to determine whether to accept this alternative (Usually "No" when it tried to take me through Birmingham at Rush Hour when there was a 5-minute delay on the M6!)

Recently, I've noticed that I'm not offered this option any longer. I'm not sure whether it was lost during a recent software upgrade, or if I've accidentally turned it off at some point.

Whatever the reason, I can't find how to turn it back on again. Can anybody help? Has it disappeared altogether, or am I just being thick and unable to find it?

On my 740 it's

Change Preferences, Voice Control Preferences (4 of 8), Enable Voice Control

However not sure if it'll be the same on your unit...

The 520 AFAIK does not take spoken commands, it only allows you to "navigate to" "address" "spoken address" or "spoken address dialogue".

Thanks guys, but ...

PaulB - No that menu option isn't available on the 520.

MrT - The 520 certainly used to accept other spoken commands, there's no doubt about that. When were they removed?

It's normally activated in the shortcut menu.

Check your map is not missing the Cspeech files.

If you downloaded a map from TomTom the Cspeech files may still be in the original map download on your PC hard drive.
If so, just copy the files to your map folder, or if you don't have enough room, then put the map on a SD card.

Mine is exactly the same - it no longer has spoken commands for the traffic delays.

Have you tried the navigate to spoken address option - does it work?

If you have never used it then the first thing it does is ask you to choose the language - maybe when that is done it will turn back on the spoken commands?

I seem to remember it disappeared with 8.300 but can't be sure.

I will check mine later and post back.

My 720 had lost the 'zip' folder so there were no full postcodes and also the 'navigate to dialogue' has also gone. All files seem present but I can't talk to it anymore!

Any clues anyone?

Going to reinstall old backup and then move the new map in and see what that does.

I'm afraid I'm with Mr T here... I cannot remember the x20/x30 models ever doing what you say....
I'm pretty sure I only ever had "Navigate to... Spoken Address" or "Spoken Address (Dialogue)" (Plus the similar option on the "City Centre" and "Crossing" pages)

Do you have an early backup which you could pop back on to prove us wrong?

I seem to remember when I first got my 520 when you spoke the place name it gave you a numbered list of possibles from which you could then say the desired number. This has been absent for ages now, not sure when it disappeared as I didin't very often use the spoken commands.

Looking at the ttgo.bif for the backup dated 19-07-2008 gives this info

Or did I just imagine all this...
