Buick Encore: Voice Recognition / Using Voice Recognition for List Options

When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will ask to confirm or select an option from that list. A selection can be made by manually selecting the item, or by speaking the line number for the item to select.

When a screen contains a list, there may be options that are available but not displayed. The list on a voice recognition screen functions the same as a list on other screens. Scrolling or flinging can be used to help display other entries from the list.

Manually scrolling or paging the list on a screen during a voice recognition session suspends the current voice recognition event and plays the prompt “Make your selection from the list using the manual controls, press BACK or BACK on the center stack, or touch the Back icon on the infotainment display to try again.”

If manual selection takes more than 15 seconds, the session terminates and prompts that it has timed out. The screen returns to the screen where voice recognition was initiated.

The Back Command

Say “Back,” press BACK or BACK on the center stack, or touch the Back icon on the infotainment display to go to the previous menu.

If in voice recognition, and “Back” is stated all the way through to the initial display, then “Back” is stated one more time, the voice recognition session will cancel.

Help

Say “Help” on any voice recognition menu and the help prompt for the display is played. Additionally, a pop-up displays a text version of the help prompt. Depending on how voice recognition was initiated, the Help pop-up will either display on the instrument cluster or the infotainment display. Touch Dismiss to make the pop-up go away.

Pressing on the steering wheel controls while the help prompt is playing will terminate the prompt and a beep will be heard. Doing this will stop the help prompt so that a voice command can be used.
