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.

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.

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.

Waze voice command
The prompts for the voice command should not only be audio, but visual as well, with specific prompts, and readable from a distance.

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).

New Voice: Opera (Pavarotti)
New Voice: being an operatic-singer myself, I just thought it would be fun if there'd be an operatic guiding voice, like there is also "Boy Band".
Am always willing to cooperate to make this work!
All best,

improve voice recognition
I assumed that Waze was using similar voice recognition engine to Google. But I have the worst time getting Waze to recognize my voice. It's not me nor my phone. I can say to Waze "Ok Waze report police ahead" and nine times out of ten it'll say "sorry I didn't recognize that". If I hit the home button (to bring up home screen and have Google Assistant take over) I can say Ok Google take a note report police ahead" and it'll correctly create a note "report police ahead"
I assume that Waze's voice recognition would be better than…

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?

Short Tone instead of voice.
Would love a simple tone as a turn approaches. Too often even the curtest voice directions obscure my podcasts.

Voice search button for destinations using apple carplay.
Carplay voice input was taken away (microphone icon). I can no longer search via voice for directions to any place. Now I can only use iphone maps or google maps. Seems strange to remove a vital feature as now I cannot get directions to places with my voice.

Bring back Altimet’s voice!!!!!
Please bring back the Liberty Mutual voice of Altimet!!! We love him and it’s so disappointing that you took him away!
5 votesThank you for your suggestion!
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.
