33 Selecting a voice How do computer voices work? Your TomTom GO makes use of text-to- speech technology to generate com- puter 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. Note : If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce com- mands, but not street names. If you wo uld like street names to be announced, you will need to select a computer voice. Internal and external speakers 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. • Phone calls • The speaker inside your GO Note : If you wish to use an audio cable, an Active Dock with an audio connec- tor is available as an accessory.
