With the advancement of mobile phone voice control, the voice control system in cars has become more and more advanced. However, voice control has always been classified as a useless configuration by users. The gorilla of Sanjianke hates voice control, mainly because of the slow response and the ineffectiveness of the early system. With the continuous development of technology, car voice control is also constantly upgraded. Therefore, novices will have some questions, such as how to use car voice control?

The voice control system in the car means that when you press the button, the vehicle will recognize your words and then execute your commands. This function frees the driver's hands.

How to use car voice control?

1. Car entertainment function

This is a relatively basic function. In addition to adjusting the sound star, users can search for music names and play music by voice; they can also simply say how they feel. If you select the radio channel you are interested in, the system can call up the corresponding channel.

2. Voice navigation function

Speak the destination by voice for navigation, and you can also set frequently used destinations as scenes. For example, set a route home. Just give the voice command "go home" and the system will automatically plan the route. The language education navigation is indeed very practical information, especially when there are many cars and complicated roads in the city, the effect is more significant.

3. Telephone communication function

Models with on-board voice control and their corresponding advantages and disadvantages

1. Audi Q5

The voice recognition function of the Q5 is really excellent. The system can recognize entire addresses without requiring a specific instruction form. Whether it's "Play Radio Deutschland" or "Radio Deutschland", this Audi recognizes it correctly.

2. BMW 5 Series

Ranking ahead of Audi is BMW. In this system, the compilation of the user's voice commands is not completed in the car, but is transmitted to an external server through mobile signals, processed under the operation of a high-performance computer and sent back to the car. Therefore, the 5 Series can even recognize unusual commands such as "I'm hungry" and search for restaurants as special destinations.

This test-winning model can also be connected with voice control and digital assistants including Siri. Correspondingly, the system's recognition rate is very high: during driving, the voice system only required an average of 1.1 attempts by the tester to correctly understand its instructions with almost no intermediate steps. As soon as the address has been spoken, the navigation system calculates the route.

3. Ford S-Max

The voice control system equipped with this Ford has a good recognition rate, and its recognition of unclear instructions ranks in the middle. However, the system can only recognize phone numbers spoken as single digits ("two, four, one, one") but not the two-digit numbering method commonly used by Germans ("twenty-four, eleven"), so Requires a considerable portion of the driver's attention.

Redundant confirmation prompts not only extend the command response time, but also test the user's patience. The choice of radio stations became a major weakness of the S-Max: the car did not recognize the station name (SWR3) but only the station frequency (FM92.2).

4. Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Like BMW, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class also transmits some instructions (special destinations, addresses) to an external server for compilation. The recognition rate of this system is high, but it still cannot reach the level of the BMW 5 Series.

The system can only recognize single-digit phone numbers. When selecting a radio station, the driver needs to use "radio station" as the guide for instructions.

5. Peugeot 3008

In order to start address navigation, the user must first say "take me to the address" and then say the address strictly in the order of street, house number and city. . These instruction examples are located at the very top of the screen and are in too small a font size, bound to take away from the user’s attention while driving.

6. Volkswagen Golf

After the user presses the voice command button, command examples will pop up quickly on the screen, and the display effect is very good. At the same time, the system can also identify phone numbers in the form of two-digit reporting ("eleven" instead of "one-one"). However, the car's microphone is too sensitive, and the system often reminds the user to lower the volume while driving, but the user needs to increase the volume to resist the interference of driving noise.

7. Volvo V90

In the V90, the driver must follow complex steps for input, and the system rarely accepts any other form of instructions. For the operation of abort input, this Volvo can only understand the "abandon" command but not accept the "stop". If you want to abort navigation, just say "Pause path calculation".

Some instruction guides are always displayed on the instrument panel - as long as it does not affect the display of other instructions (such as not fastening the seat belt), the consequence is that erroneous attempts often occur. After the user says the address, navigation automatically opens.
