Not impressed by voice control, what about you ?

 

[BlueMeanie]

My system that sits next to me in the passenger seat.... faultless.

 

[Ythsie]

Haha!!

 

[Julian]

Hilarious !

But seriously, have you tested it ?

 

[Ythsie]

A feature that I tried in Polish but wasn't impressed with it!! Yet another feature that I haven't set up to be honest, but will need to for the mobile phone.

 

[Julian]

Thanks, personnaly I tried it in both english and french, but in either the little imps in the R-link box are equally reluctantto catch my drift.

 

[Tyrfelin]

Nice thread!!!!

 

[Julian]

Anybody else tried it ?

 

[Frosty]

I've tried it a couple of times but find it useless! maybe my French accent isn't up to itas she just doesn't understand me

 

[Ythsie]

Malheureusment!!

 

[TC Eddy]

My Mrs says I talk "Gibberish"..at the best of times.....I couldn't find this language on the Medianav menus............I maybe better with Klingon!!

Have I missed a trick here are we talking R Link speak ?

 

[Frosty]

Mrs F called me today using voice control, it worked first time for her, she said its because I have a 'northern' accent' that 'she' doesn't understand me unfortunately......

 

[AceMum]

Weirdest thing is she understands when I'm using the Tom Tom but not the phone book for my husband it's the opposite! Haha

 

[Julian]

She certainly wants to keep you both on your toes !

Voice Control are r-link function, activating with button on steering wheel. MediaNav and simple radio versions are without this button and without function

By the time you've told it where you want to go and selected destination 2 or 3; after a few attempts, you may as well have just typed it in.

I've never found a voice control system on any car to be any good, it's a gimmick pure and simple.

The other day in a MediaNav equipped Captur I received a text from my daughter, I asked for it to be read out and then I composed and spoke a reply, which it took word for word including a "x" at the end, all on the first go; would it send it after I said "send" would it ****, after three or four goes it gave up and closed the text down.

Voice-operated phone would be better, by the sound of it.
I love the stories of texts being read out when people are applying for jobs, and a response comes in saying something along the lines of "Thanks for your CV", and the voice system takes over, converts to roman numerals and says "Thanks for your hundred and fifty" !
Almost as bad as reading out texts from my younger daughter ending in "X" which gets transposed similarly to "Ten"
