About sounds and voices 
Your TomTom device uses sound for some or all of the following: 
 Driving directions and other route instructions 
 Traffic information 
Note: To use a TomTom traffic information service, you may need a subscription or a re-
ceiver. Traffic services are not supported in all countries or regions. For more information, 
visit tomtom.com/services. 
 Warnings that you set 
 Hands-free phone calls 
There are two types of voice available for your device: 
 Voices that speak street names 
Voices that speak street names are generated by your TomTom. They provide route instruc-
tions and read aloud city and street names, traffic and other useful information. 
 Human voices 
These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.  
About voices that speak street names 
Your TomTom uses text-to-speech technology to read the street names on your map as it guides 
you on your route. 
A voice that speaks street names analyzes the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to 
ensure that the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech. 
This type of voice can also recognize and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For exam-
ple, the English voice can read and pronounce French street names.  
Selecting a voice 
To select a different voice on your TomTom device, either tap Change voice in the Settings menu 
or tap Voices, then tap Change voice and select the required voice.  
Changing the volume level 
You can change the volume on your TomTom device in several ways. 
 In the Driving view. 
Tap the central panel on the status bar and move the slider to adjust the volume. The last 
route instruction is played so you can hear the new volume level. 
 In the Settings menu.
