Automotive Voice Applications: Both Navigation and Entertainment, in Complete Safety

The Absolutely Safe Digitally-Controlled Vehicle

Technology has transformed our cars into mobile offices: during your drive-time, a synthetic voice reads your emails to you, and your reply is dictated thanks to recognition software; telephone calls are made and messages sent, without you being distracted or even taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.

These are just some of the possible applications of voice synthesis and voice recognition technologies for the automotive sector. With voice commands, you can adjust the air conditioning, control the radio and search for your favourite songs, simply by expressing yourself naturally. The on-board vehicle safety systems use TTS to read out information, such as the level of fuel consumption, or allow the automatic activation of emergency calls in case of necessity.

Voice interaction is the only safe way of increasing the functionalities, technologies and tools available in the cars of today and tomorrow.

Solutions for Navigation and Fleet Management

One of the main areas of use of voice technologies in the automotive context is navigation. The integration of voice synthesis and voice recognition in satellite navigators, be they portable or integrated into the car, allows:

the provision of a more accurate and complete navigation service, for reading directions and other dynamic information
users to enter destinations directly by voice (voice destination entry), avoiding distraction while driving.
