Other than changing the temperature with voice commands, I haven't had much opportunity to use the voice input on my 2008 GS350. The other day, I started trying to input addresses and use the navi through voice input.

After all of the complaining on this forum about how the voice input never works, I was very pleasantly surprised. It recognized my voice input every time. So far it is running at 100% accuracy. I'm pleased as punch with it.

 

wow, this is about the only positive thread I've seen from you, I guess that's a good thing

 

quit bragging

 

Steverhode, you must have a voice like that guy on the Lexus Commerical

 

lol man i needa try out that address thing. did you use the simple word addresses or did u try something like hacienda(mayb they wont pick the word correctly or something.

 

Have yet to try mine. One of these days I suppose I'll get around to it....

 

I have to echo what steverhode said. I tried words like "peninsula" and "appaloosa"...no problem. My accuracy is 100% as well. I do have Gen 5, version 7.1, if that makes a difference.

 

I'm happy to know there's something you like about your 3GS...for a change.

 

I also am surprised at how well it works. I'm getting a ton of use out of it inputting addresses and dialing by name and by number.
I think its great its one of my favorite things about my gs450h

 

I'm not complaining..I probably have an 80% accuracy rate. You have to enunciate

 

i find it MUCH MUCH faster just to type it out

 

I agree that typing is faster, but 1) I wanted to try the voice input and 2) sometimes you start driving and then realize you need to input an address.

 

we have much better luck with dial by number than address via voice. wouldn't want to be without the unlock kit for typing in addresses. maybe we just slur too much

 

Dial by name, and address voice commands work very well for me.

 

I just try the address command, I am very surprise that it work on the 1st tried. Prior to this, I had a hard time just getting the voice command to perform a temperature up operation. I tried a couple of not so common street names and it regonzined it the 1st time. This is a great tool, now I dont have to stop the car to enter in address.
