No matter what accent I attempt or how I say it, the results from an address voice command are wildly inacurate and have no relation to the address command. Is this typical or is my unit a dud as far as voice commands go?
 
Do friends and colleagues have similar voice recognition problems with their satnavs ?
 
Don't actually know anyone who has/uses that function. That's why I was wondering if any on this forum had the same problem. I've had a friend attempt a voice command address on my unit with much the same negative results.
 
I was just wondering if it was accent problem, I guess these things are trained on a USA english accent
 
Don't think it can be an accent thing though I'm originally from the UK. English is my only language.
(though I've given it a shot attempting US and Aussie accents!) :)
 
I own 8 2597 units. hey all suck at recognizing the 'voice Command" Set it to your
new start command by opening the 'Voice command App;. then custom
setting the new word.
You will still have problems stating the menu items as it misses 50% of the time.
The 2597 is a nice unit, especially when to link a smartphone you it and use you
mobile data to access nice traffic and weather features from your phone.
 
Thanks for the reply.
So you need to somehow link it to a smartphone to get successful voice recognition?
Unfortunately I don't have one. From your experience with 8 units it sounds like the 'Voice Command' installed on all 2597 satnav's is unreliable. At least I know now that my unit was not just a one off dud!
