Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.
Navigating to a new location, adding a stop, finding parking spots/gas stations nearby, report traffic or anything else18 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Android Auto localized voice search
When using Waze for Android Auto, I would like an additional voice search icon to be available at the search input box. This voice search should work the same way as Waze for Android voice search works.
This is especially important for languages where the Google Assistant language is not supported. It would also be useful to find destinations when going abroad and localized place names are in a different language than what is set in Google Assistant.
This would reduce driver distraction a lot in many regions of the world I think.

windows phone app NEEDS voice command feature!
Waze is supposed to be hands free, however, for Windows Phone users, there is no voice command feature available! That means it is Not hands free... Please make an update to allow Hands Free Voice Commands available for all users to keep driving safe for everybody.
38 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Warn speed camera by voice all the time
At the moment it only warns by voice if exceeding speed limit and if we are at certain distance from camera. It doesn't warn by voice if we are short distance from camera and exceeding speed limit. It would be much appreciated if there would be an option to turn on warning by voice all the time for speed cameras. Thanks.

Add voice command for other countries
I think voice command should be made available to other countries too since that way it`ll be much easier to navigate and report.

Search icon instead of voice
Modern versions of Android have a voice input option on the virtual keyboard itself. Basic UI guidelines should dictate the icon where the voice-entry button is at the end of text input fields should do the action (search) not bring up voice input.
Move the voice icon lower and bigger for users who are driving, and make the button beside the input window the search button (as 'enter' currently does on the keyboard).

Have voice use voice
I tried your product on my phone. I expected a voice telling me when to turn, as real applications do that. Instead, it gave me all sorts of useless noises. Why does that matter? I ride a motorcycle and I can't look at the phone while riding.
I've deleted the product from my phone. It's useless without voice direction.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
As you may already know, voice directions are available and functional in Waze.
It sounds like you experienced technical difficulties. We would be happy to assist. Please visit our help center – https://support.google.com/waze/ -
Stop stealing voice command/recognition
I have no problem using the Galaxy S6 voice command to send texts while driving.
However, once I invoke the voice command in Waze (by 3-finger salute) I can no longer use the regular Android voice command.
It seems Waze steals and won't release the voice function until I shutdown Waze.

Jai Haze for New Waze Voice
Jai Haze is a well known YouTube Vape Reviewer with a comedic voice that’s a cross between Vince Vaughn and Jersey Shore, let’s get Jais Voice on Waze, Jammies and all, to bring his comedic wittiness to our morning commutes! Can you just play him in the backround of Waze? Yes you can obviously but wouldn’t it be more of a fun matrix like commute with him reviewing the new Vape Device in the backround and him also telling you to turn your Jammy left?

Bring back T-Pain voice. It was the greatest. It made me happy and I personally got 100s of people to dowmload app to her T-Pain by posting Waze navigating mw on. Facebook

As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Add a new german TTS voice
Currently there is only one german TTS voice. A new german TTS voice or the option to use 3rd party TTS voices like Siri or Google TTS would be nice.
