Sending reports using short voice commands. For example: "waze danger car side of the road"
Great news! Reporting a vehicle on the side of the road using voice is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

For each Posted alert, such as "Object on road". "Construction", "Pothole", "Vehicle Stopped on Road", etc, create a voice warning for each situation. There are only 6 reports as of 10/24/18, "Police ahead", "Crash ahead", "Hazard ahead", "Heavy Traffic ahead", "Red Light camera ahead", and "Speed Trap ahead", yet there are 13 current hazards that Wazers can select when reporting. This is a great feature that keeps me aware of what is ahead on the road, warns me to be prepared and ready to take action. AND NOW THAT I CAN RECORD AND USE MY OWN VOICE, OR MY KID'S VOICES for reports-the alerts can be made silly, more enjoyable, & less scary and intimidating!-I really enjoy that feature! As long as Wazers can select which alerts they do or dont want to hear, we can tailor the audio to our desire!

Se o app conseguisse gerar as atualizaçoes ppr comando de voz seria perfeito porque o motorista nao pode manusear o aparelho enquanto dirige e o delay destas infos ppdem ser fatais ou de grande aborrecimento. Eu memso ja deixei de inserir observaçoes por nao poder manusear o app varias vezes e cabar esquecendo o local exato e afins. Mutio obrigado

O usuário poder fazer alertas por comando de voz. Isso agiliza em emergências e deixa mais precisa a informação.

I LOVED this app! I have used it for years and tell everyone about it. As it were, it was SO easy to report road conditions, HANDS-FREE. Since the update that changed the activation from a three-finger double-tap to a three-finger single-tap it ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!! I reported this a couple weeks ago, and yes, I now have the latest update... IT STILL SUCKS!! I get so frustrated that it does not hear me most of the time. I WILL NOT push all the icons to make a report as it is too dangerous. Please revert back to the three-finger double-tap interface and MAKE WAZE GREAT AGAIN!!!

It would be helpful when Waze lets you know to get off an unexpected exit, to let you know the reason why it's telling you to get off. Example, alert, there is heavy traffic ahead, exit right. Sometimes I say that's crazy, but I followed your directions and go around the accident or heavy traffic. It would just be nice to know why the route is telling you to deviate from the norm. I would trust it more.

We all know that once we launch Waze, we should not be interacting while driving. Why not give an option that once we start driving, the system goes 100% hands free (where we can report using "Waze - report accident on passenger's side of highway") implement calling and texting options by voice to include reading text messages back.
I feel this would be a great option and could all be done within reason. -

People are helpful putting heavy traffic notices, but there isn't a way to cancel the symbol when heavy traffic is no longer a problem. When we come up to a hazard, if the hazard isn't there we can cancel. We need the same ability when heavy traffic problems are over.

It would be amazing if there was a quick button (like reporting heavy traffic) to alert people to slippery road conditions or low visibility.

Sometimes I don't want to see the heavy traffic in the on-coming traffic. Please install a switch to turn it off. Waze knows where I am going, why show me the traffic in the other direction? Make as an option. Some people like to see it.

Good morning po. Pwede po ba kayo gumawa ng paraan para maka report kami ng accident o traffic report ng di namin hinahawakan ang cellphone namin? Bawal na po kasi hawakan ang cellphone while driving. Salamat po

Its pretty difficult and dangerous to select the thumbs up or deny option while driving. Especially if you have to confirm a police presence; now that is a bit risky! How about an option that would have Waze ask you something like "Is ..... still there?" when passing through the report and be able to answer with a simple "yes" or "no".

Allow the driver to acknowledge an alert as either being present or not
Permit the operator say"new" alert and say what kind of alert it is.
Reaching to acknowledge a alert or input an alert takes the driver's attention away from the road.

That is exactly the request I wanted to open.
More details in the audio notification would really help. Some hazards are not that serious, as you said. But some are, like a standing traffic. Once I get the general notification I check the phone, which distracts me from driving.
So even the kind and location of hazard should be mentioned. -

In the uk you now get 6 point plus a £250 for even touching my phone whilst driving. It would be better if the voice system was initiated similar to Siri e.g. "Hey waze"

We need to be able to say OK Waze report, or whatever.

My uber driver in London says less people are reporting road issues in case they get caught tapping the app and being fine. would be good to have voice command, e.g. "Hey Waze!Record road closure"

Waze needs a whole new host of voice commands, in line with the new UK law on no touching your phone whilst driving or the engine bis running. So we need all reports to be voice commands, accepting reports are there or not there as voice commands. New commands
We really need Google Now integration for calls and texts.But we need this now as we can't use Waze as well now. People are already been arrested for using phones since the law changed yesterday!

Reports are great, but while driving acknowledging or posting a new report can be really dangerous as it takes the eyes off the road and also one hand off the wheel for several seconds (especially when posting a new report and you have to select through multiple options).
I also feel that a lot of the Waze users are just simply not participating in a lot of these reports and just comfortably don't help out the community.
My suggestion would be something like this: Let's say there's a report a couple of meters in front of you. Waze then displays the option to Like or not (which it does). At this point, implement a voice control procedure, that would be triggered by the word: "WAZE" and then expect an audio command like "OK" or a "NO" for the voting system.
Even I sometimes forget to vote for a report as I am far too focused on the traffic or just cannot take the time to press the right button on my phone.
Thank you in advance!
