Delorme 6 Manuel D’Utilisation

Using Voice Navigation and Speech Recognition 

345 

Note  Some commands are disabled if a route is not calculated or if the GPS 
is not initialized. 

 

To use voice navigation, you must have a 2-D or 3-D GPS fix and a route 

calculated. 

 
You should train the speech recognition engine to provide good speech recognition 

results. Before training, ensure your microphone is active and the speech recognition 
feature is on. For more information, see Activating and Monitoring Speech 

Recognition. 

You should train the speech recognition engine to recognize your specific speech 
patterns. This is often done by reading a predetermined piece of text supplied by the 
creator of the speech recognition engine. If the engine supports multiple user 

models, you can train the engine to recognize more than one speech pattern. 
Use the following steps to train the speech recognition engine to recognize your 

speech patterns. 

1.  Click the Options button 

 on the toolbar. 

OR  

Click the arrow next to the Options toolbar button to open the menu. Then, 
click Options to open the dialog box.  

2.  Click the Voice Settings tab. 
3.  Select the microphone you intend to use from the Microphone drop-down 

list. 

4.  Select your preferred user voice model from the User Profile drop-down list. 

Note  To create a new speech recognition profile for each of your working 

environments (noisy, quiet) and users (your spouse, your child), click Speech 
in the Windows Control Panel. 

5.  Select your preferred speech recognition engine from the Recognizer drop-

down list. 

Note  Select the most recent version available in the drop-down list. 

6.  Click Speech Profile Training to display the speech training wizard specific 

to your speech recognition engine. 
Note  This feature is available only if it is supported by your speech 
recognition engine. 

7.  Follow the on-screen instructions. 

Tips 
For best results: 

•  Use a close-talk microphone that rests near the side of your mouth instead of 

a desktop or built-in microphone. 

•  Train the speech recognition engine in the same environment in which you 

will use it. For example, if you use the engine mostly in the car, perform 
training in the car. Perform three training sessions to get the best results.
