please better quality for customized voice
The custom voice recording feature in Waze has very poor audio quality. The recordings sound compressed, noisy, and unclear, even though my microphone works fine in other apps. The problem is clearly within Waze, not my device.
Please improve this feature by allowing higher bitrate recordings (at least 128 kbps) and giving users the option to upload pre-recorded audio files (e.g., MP3) instead of only using the in-app recorder. At its current quality, the feature is barely usable and does not meet user expectations.

Activate voice input when report button is pushed in Android Auto/Carplay or phone app
I would like the report button to start listening for voice prompts when pushed on the phone or android auto/carplay. I use Google Assistant for most reports and by the time I say “Ok Google” then wait for the prompt, then use voice reporting the pin is dropped significantly beyond what I was trying to report. Fumbling around with android auto to find the correct category is less safe and less direct than voice reporting and I usually end up hitting the wrong category.

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!

Change is voice directions
First of all amazing app, used google map 4 times in london and got lost every time, first time used this app got me where I needed to every time.
Like to add one small suggestion, I use this app with my phone in pocket and a earpiece so can’t see the screen.
When it gives a navigation like “In 1000ft take the left” if there are other left turns before the one needed could it be changed to say something like “In 1000ft take the 3rd left” if there are 2 other left turns before the 1 needed, a…

New Voices
My son has an idea for a "darkness" voice. It's eerie and creepy and I think it would be a fun addition to your voice option categories. He also does a great scary clown voice - which I know you have but he could definitely improve upon. thanks for even having these options they make the drive so much more fun. I really loved Shaka Khan too.

Samuel L. Jackson
Use Samuel L. Jackson's voice for navigation. Give directions in the same voice he used in the audio book "Go the F#*! to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach. Optional swearing of course.

A Boy And Girl Voice For Navigation
We can create a girl mode for all the voices, so all the voices can be talked in girl voices. Same with the boys. And then, if you don't want that, you can just turn that mode off, so all the voices can be the same as they are, mixed.

Voice Hazard Reporting
This would be extremely helpful to be able to say what a hazard is instead of having to touch the screen while driving which causes you to look away from driving.

Supportive Encouraging Voice for When You're Having a Rough Day or Just Because
I personally loved when "Mr. T."'s (kind of hard/abusive) voice was a choice. But a friend just mentioned how she would really love having a voice that was more supportive -- saying things like "don't worry, it's OK... you'll make it" (even if you take a wrong turn, for example). I thought a lot of people might appreciate that! For every day or maybe even for a particularly rough day.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Voice Instructions
The spoken instruction should be 5-10 seconds earlier. Now at the very last moment you get just before you have to go right, left or straight ahead. This can cause problems for inexperienced users.

Put back voice notification of alerts/reports instead of "ding then read"
Put Back the Voice Notification to issues/reports/etc While Driving. The current "loud ding and then read the screen" is a safety hazard. It requires the driver to take vision away from the road and read their phone. This also conflicts with state laws that prohibit use of devices that distract driver attention away from the road. WAZE was wonderful with voice notification/explanation. Our safety needs you to put back this function. Frankly, I can't use Waze until it is back.
