About sounds and voices
Your TomTom GO uses sound for the following:
• Driving directions and other route instructions
• Warnings that you set
• Hands-free phone calls
There are two types of voice available for your GO:
• Computer voices
Computer voices are generated by your GO. They provide route instructions and read
aloud city and street names, traffic and weather reports, user messages and tutorials.
• Human voices
These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.
About computer voices
Your TomTom GO uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the street
names on your map as it guides you on your route.
The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure
that the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.
Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For
example, the English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names.
Important : Computer voices are not available in all languages.
If you require a computer voice and your langauge is unavailable, then you need to install
and use the English language computer voice. For more information on computer voices,
go to tomtom.com/services.

You can change the volume on your TomTom GO in several ways.
