Buick Encore: Infotainment System / Voice Recognition

Voice Recognition (8 Inch Screen)

If equipped, voice recognition allows for hands-free operation within the navigation, audio, phone, and weather applications. This feature can be started by pressing g on the steering wheel controls or by touching g on the infotainment display.

However, not all features within these areas are supported by voice commands. Generally, only complex tasks that require multiple manual interactions to complete are supported by voice commands.

For example, tasks that take more than one or two touches such as selecting a song or artist to play from a media device would be supported by voice commands. Other tasks, like adjusting the volume or seeking up or down, are audio features that are easily performed by pressing one or two controls, and are not supported by voice commands.

In general there are flexible ways to speak commands for completing the tasks. Most of them, except voice keypad, can be completed in a single command. If the task takes more than one command to complete, the first command should be to indicate the kind of task to be performed. The system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialog to enter the necessary information.

Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
