Your TomTom GO makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate 

computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example 

an instruction like “Turn right”, into the sound of a human voice. 

The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the 

sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also 

able to recognise and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street 

names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.

Your TomTom GO contains a high quality speaker. This is used to play all the 

sounds on your GO unless you select to play some sounds through external 

speakers.

The following types of sound can be played through the speakers as listed 

below:
• Spoken instructions and warnings:

• The speaker inside your GO

• An external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers

• Using an audio cable.

• Music

• The speaker inside your GO

• An external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers

• Using an audio cable.

To change the voice being used by your TomTom GO, tap Voice 

preferences in the Preferences menu, then tap Change voice. Select a voice 

from the list.

Your TomTom GO has two different kinds of voices:

• Computer voices

These are generated by your GO. They provide spoken instructions 

while you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce 

messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.

• Human  voices

These are recorded by an actor.
