Laurel Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks Adair. Let's hope others chip in their favourites too. The only frustration that we have run into is one city name which is Surrey. Cannot get MFT to recognize it no matter how we try pronouncing it so we have to spell it which is a pain. One thing that is handy too is when the voice starts to babble about this that or the other when you have screwed up, just push the voice paddle again and cut her off and try again. I hate listening to her babble on if I screw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ron that is a good one. There are a zillion USB commands too, but I never use them. If someone wants them, just let me know and I will write some out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhackwyatt Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 While playing songs off of USB (probably works for Sirius and HD Radio) you can say "What's playing?" A little more natural is "find a mall", or "find a restaurant", instead of destination ... "Help", "What can I say", "Voice instructions" for tutorial info. "List to text message" and "My team's schedule" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like "find a mall" --going to have to try that one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 We don't really have Travel Link here--although we can pick it up sometimes from Bellingham, Washington. Every time I say weather map, she thinks I am saying "where am I". Just getting ready to head out and will be trying "find a mall". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I tried "find a mall" today. One little glitch. The voice asked for what city and it has a hellish time recognizing Surrey (where I was driving). I have to spell it for her and that is a royal pain. I found in the end if I pronounced Surrey a bit like calling a pig when you say "soo ee" with a real eee on the end, it did recognize it. I sort of have to sing song the word. Maybe with the upgrade that will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with the upgrade that will improve. I'm assuming you couldn't just say nearby, when it asked you where to search? I think you can say (although i would have to test) "find a mall nearby". Something else, for when your ready, "voice settings" pause "interaction mode advanced". She'll basically talk less. Instead of "say a command" after you hit the button, you'll just hear the ding.

Laurel Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Zhack that is good info. She is a bit chatty, but I am not quite ready for advanced interactions as I am still pig calling LOL. zhackwyatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
