One XL-S and speech recognition

[unpltd]

Hey guys and ladies too!!


I was wondering if anyone has figured this out yet and found a way to make it work in a One XL-S? I've been looking around in here for the last couple hours with no luck so I thought I'd post up to see if it's been done or can be done.


Any thoughts?


Thanks.

The ONE XL S does not recognize speach from the user. No microphone exists. The advertisements indicate this functionality but if you read it carefully what it is saying is that there is text to speach recognition. This function enables the computer voice to read the names of the streets to you.

Street Names

You MUST choose Susan (Female Computer) to hear street names. You would think it would be in the instructions.

It is in the instructions...

How do computer voices work?
Your TomTom ONE XL?S makes use of text-to-speech technology to
generate computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for
example an instruction like ?Turn right?, into the sound of a human voice.
The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also
able to recognize and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.
Note: If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce
commands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be
announced, you will need to select a computer voice.

Hi George,

I think you misunderstood what the OP was saying. The OP wants to be able to speak to the unit to enter a city and/or street.

I don't believe the unit has a mic to be able to do speech recognition.

You're right Digital-Flex. No mic on all ONE series.
