About voice control 
Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages. 
Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can use your voice to 
control your GO. 
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your GO, or to change 
settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colours, avoid a blocked road or decrease 
the volume just by using your voice. 
Voice control is active in the map view, the guidance view, and the voice control screen. 
Important: Voice control requires a voice that speaks street names. When there is no voice that 
speaks street names installed and selected on your TomTom GO, this feature is not available. 
To select a voice that reads aloud street names, select Voices in the Settings menu, then select 
Choose a voice and select a Computer voice that reads aloud street names.  
Starting voice control 
In map view or guidance view, say the wake-up phrase to start voice control. The default wake-up 
phrase is Hello TomTom, but you can make your own wake-up phrase. 
Tip: Voice control is off by default. You can switch the wake-up phrase on or off in the settings 
menu. 
Alternatively, you can select Voice Control in the Main Menu: 
 
When voice control is ready to use, you see the voice control screen and your GO says Im listening. 
Speak when you hear the beep. 
Note: If the volume control is set to 20% or lower, the volume automatically changes to 50% when 
you start voice control. 
 
Making your own wake-up phrase 
You can make your own wake-up phrase to start Voice Control. You can choose any words you like 
to make your wake-up phrase fun or easy to say. 
To make your own wake-up phrase, do the following: 
1. Select Voice Control in the Settings menu. 
2. Select Change the wake-up phrase. 
3. Enter your wake-up phrase using the keyboard. 
Your phrase should have at least three syllables. Dont use a phrase that you often say or hear.

the Main menu, then select Voice control and then select Which commands can I say?. 
2. The status of voice control on your GO. You can speak when your GO says Im listening and you 
see the microphone symbol in the left corner. 
The status message tells you if voice control cannot understand what you said, and gives you 
instructions about using voice control. At the same time, voice control reads aloud the message. 
3. The microphone symbol shows you when you can speak: 
  This symbol shows you that voice control is ready to listen. Speak when you hear the 
beep. 
  This symbol shows you that voice control is busy.

control can hear your voice:

 A dark blue bar means your voice is too quiet for voice control to recognise individual words.

Some tips for using voice control 
You can help your GO understand what you are saying by following these tips: 
 Mount your GO about an arms length in front of you, away from speakers or air vents. 
 Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may 
need to speak in the direction of the microphone. 
 Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend. 
 When saying an address, try not to pause between parts of the address or add extra words. 
 Say number one or number two and not one  or two when selecting an item from a list 
such as a house number. 
 Try not to correct mistakes, for example Number four, oh I mean number five. 
Important: Voice control on your GO is specifically for native speakers of the selected language who 
have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice control may not 
understand everything that you say.
