About sounds and voices 
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device uses sound for some or all of the following: 
 Driving directions and other route instructions 
 Traffic information 
Note: To use a TomTom traffic information service, you may need a subscription or a re-
ceiver. Traffic services are not supported in all countries or regions. For more information, 
visit tomtom.com/services. 
 Warnings that you set 
 Hands-free phone calls 
There are two types of voice available for your device: 
 Computer voices 
Computer voices are generated by your device. They provide route instructions and read 
aloud city and street names, traffic and other useful information. 
 Human voices 
These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.  
About computer voices 
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the street 
names on your map as it guides you on your route. 
The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure that the 
sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech. 
Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For example, the 
English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names.  
Selecting a voice 
To select a different voice on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2, tap Voices in the Settings menu. Then tap 
Change voice and select the required voice.  
Changing the volume level 
You can change the volume on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 in several ways. 
 In the Driving view. 
Tap the central panel on the status bar and move the slider to adjust the volume. The last 
route instruction is played so you can hear the new volume level. 
 In the Settings menu.
