SYNC™3

Voice command issues

Issue

Possible cause

Possible solution

The SYNC 3 voice control system is having trouble recog- nizing foreign tracks, artists, albums, genres and playlist names frommy media player or USB flash drive. The system generates voice prompts and the pronunci- ation of some words may not be accurate for my language.

SYNC3 applies the phonetic pronunciation rules of the selected language to the names stored on your media player or USB flash drive. It is able to make some exceptions for very popular artist names (for example, U2) such that you can always use the English pronunciation for these artists. SYNC 3 uses a synthetically generated voice rather than pre-recorded human voice. SYNC 3 offers several new voice control features for a wide range of languages. Dialing a contact name directly from the phonebook without pre-recording (for example, “call John Smith”) or selecting a track, artist, album, genre or playlist directly from your media player (for example, "play artist Madonna").

You may be saying the foreign names using the currently selected language for SYNC 3.

SYNC 3 uses text-to- speech voice prompt technology.
