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.

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.

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.

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.

Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names.
Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names. Listening to a pronunciation of a street that is way off is rritating. Locals are going to know the correct pronunciation. I cringe every time I hear what I presume to be AI, butcher a street name.

Option to filter voice guidance by category
Please add the ability to filter voice guidance more precisely by event categories (e.g. via a simple checklist). Many drivers only need alerts for critical events – or only for some of them (accidents, police, hazards, speed cameras) – but not for every turn or road number. In other words, something more scalable than the current “full / alerts only” options. This would reduce distraction, improve safety, and make Waze more comfortable to use. The feature could be implemented with minimal effort, yet it would significantly increase the app’s value and attractiveness for many users.

The new voice algorithms aren't working very well.
I allowed an update to Waze that included updated voice algorithms. Now the voices I've tried aren't working very well. For example: "In about (pause) in one mile turn right." The old voices didn't "stutter" like that. They are also having more trouble coordinating with Audible. I have Waze set to use my phone speakers for notifications and use my car stereo to listen to Audible. However, Waze notifications jump back and forth between the phone and stereo, and sometimes both the book and Waze talk simultaneously. I would like to have the old voices back.

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!
