Voice Sample needed badly instead of applying it first
Please have a sample button for the various voices!!! It can say the same phrase like turn right or left. Currently we can only hear it after choosing a voice and then driving. If we dont like it we have to change it, restart Waze which is dangerous.

terse voice option
Provide option for a terse voice mode. Currently, the voice prompts are verbose and intrusive to people using their smartphone to listen to podcasts, educational material, audiobooks, etc. An option to provide just the necessary turn by turn directions, shorter descriptions for highway exits (e.g. say "exit 5a" as opposed to "exit 5a main street north west"), use a chime sound in lieu of repeating the name of the road when it is time to turn, etc.

Would you fix the problem of no voice directions on iPhones please.
Something must have happened recently to delete the voice/sound on my iPhone8 Plus. No voice directions for maybe 2 weeks. Please fix this.

"Expert" setting for voice prompts
I use my phone for streaming SiriusXM as well as for Waze navigation, I'd love the ability to have an "expert" setting for voice prompts. So it would say "Hazard Ahead" instead of "Watch out, Hazard Reported on Road Ahead" making the interruption to my music or entertainment shorter but still getting my attention.

Regular Show Voice Option
Requesting a regular show voice option. If you are familiar with Regular Show, you may recall that it features catchy phrases and a “Get Ready to Hit the Road” they will make a song out of anything. I believe this could be an excellent voice option for the show due to the familiarity of the characters.

A voice for parents that reminds them to take the kid out
Every year we have several cases of kids who are forgotten in the car. Add a voice that is just like the normal one, only after saying "you have arrived" it reminds you to make sure no one is left in the car.
It can also be another notification recorded in all voices and if you mark you are a parent, it will be added after each ride.11 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already includes a Child in Car reminder. To enable it, go to Settings > Reminders > Child in Car reminder

A Known Jamaican Guided Voice on Waze - In Support of a non profit, KiDz HuB Media
Currently Waze has a number of voices for guided voice. However, there is no Jamaican Voice, though lots of Caribbean nationals living in the USA and Canada use Waze as a means to get around. I think i would be really cool to have a reggae artist like a Shaggy, Tessanne Chin, or Machel Montano as an option for guided voices. This could be a great way for Waze to also support or bring awareness to a non profit that one of these entertainers support/endorse.
Our non for profit KiDz HuB Media Network's partnership with Estella's Brilliant Bus will serves…

John Motson voice
On the news that John Motson has sadly passed away, the “Voice of Football” would be an excellent tribute to him. If there is any way of raising funds through this, you can bet he was a patron of a charity. It would be a great thing if the tribute could help a charity as well

Voice
Love the app last time I suggested you guys some thing you almost instantly had it up and going which would have been the night mode thought of some thing else for you guys since I use you on a regular base and cops are getting bad on using phones while driving let's do like googles famous "ok google" but instead have a feature for Waze for reporting things instead of using our phones while driving "Wakey Waze" would be a kool idea for a catchy way to wake up the app.
Oh and out of curiosity any idea if…

Custom voice recording to be of higher quality
The quality of the audio when recording a persons voice is horrible. It sounds like I'm speaking through a mic using wired earphones from the early 2010's. Please do whatever you can to make the audio sound like the microphone made by the manufacturer of the mobile brand. There have been so many complaints about this, outside of this forum and I can't believe it still has not been fixed yet.

Back to map voice comand
When using voice command. If Waze gets stuck searching for a location and it means I have to touch my phone whilst driving to see the map. Is there a voice command where I can request waze to go back to the map?
