Buick Encore: Voice Recognition / Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available once
the system has been initialized. This begins
when the ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
- Press on the steering wheel
controls
to activate voice recognition, or touch
on the infotainment display.
- The audio system mutes and the system
plays a prompt followed by a beep.
- Wait until after the beep completes,
then clearly speak one of the commands
described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt can
be interrupted while it is playing by
pressing on the steering wheel
controls again.
For example, if the prompt seems to be
taking too long to finish, press
again
and the beep should happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modes supported:
- Long verbal prompts: The longer prompts
provide more information regarding the
supported actions.
- Short prompts: The short prompts provide
simple instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is active,
there will be corresponding options on
screens displayed. Manual interaction in the
voice recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session may be
completed entirely using voice commands,
or some selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a manual
control, the dialog will progress in the same
way as if the selection was made through a
voice command. Once the system is able to
complete the task, or the session is
terminated, the voice recognition dialog
stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of speaking
the number associated with the entry
desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
- Touch the Home Page. Touching this icon
will terminate a voice recognition session
which was initiated by touching the icon
on the infotainment display.
- Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to
terminate the voice recognition session
and display the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
- Press on the steering wheel
controls
to terminate the voice session and show
the display from which voice recognition
was initiated.
