As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional so they are only available for a limited time.
You can use these for the length of the promotion.
We currently don’t offer a paid version of app voices.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical…

Specific reporting should not be exclusive to voice reports
I and many others refuse to use voice assistants. I personally find it much more distracting/focus breaking. It's a personal choice.
If some people wish for simpler ux, that is fine, however the option to coherently and fully report animals, a vehicle stopped on the ROAD, etc etc, must be available to all users. If there is a dormant "enable classic reports" switch, please enable it, alongside map chat and comments, which is at this point unusable anyways. The feature is (was) especially useful for the shotgun passenger.

Invader Zim and Gir voice overs/ wazer icons
Would love to have Invader Zim and Gir options for voice overs as well as some wazer icons to match. I have a mighty need to receive orders screamed at from my evil alien overlord and be sung the doom song by my car. If the welcome started with Zim’s maniacal laughter or Gir sing the doom song, my life would be complete. 😂

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.

Voice commands.
I will not be distracted to enter a road hazard. I would like to verbally document the issue. I am very willing to pay for advanced features.

Your voice guidance makes you look like fools
Dr. Joe Smith, MD is NOT "Dr. Joe Smith, Maryland," and the VA Hospital in Dallas is NOT the "Virginia Hospital." Mistakes like that make you look foolish. Really, is that the best programming you can come up with? Your voice guidance is incapable of recognizing context and common usage? Or how about the Famous name "Tennyson," like in the poet? Your guidance pronounces it "ten-eye'-son." Sheesh!

Flemish voice with streetnames
Today only Femke (dutch) only support streetnames.
Flemish people are obliged to listen to a dutch accent to have those streetnames. 6,5 million inhabitants do live in Flanders.
With Thomas we do not have streetnames.
The advertissements in Flanders are also in Flemish so...2 votes -
Voice Activation
Can be used to confim/add road hazards and traffic situations. Example: hey siri, car stopped on shoulder or hey siri, confirm road stopped and it will add it. A app called Yazio does something similar where you can add 12 oz of water to your daily intake (calorie counter app)

Voice Equalities Across Genders and Countries
Right now, different voices and languages have different hidden features - like calling out segment length, different distances, street names, lane separation and so on. There's no reason for this discrimination. You should have all of the features available on all of the voices and have them toggle able.
So, for example, all male voices should have the option to speak Street Names. Also, ALL voices should count more Distances. It's ridiculous that a turn within 100m will be called out as 400m ahead, it's confusing and could cause a ruckus on the road.

Improve voice distance alerts
I've been using Waze for at least tour years now, and I've really enjoyed the app, its features, and all the improvements and updates it has received over the years. I appreciate the work that goes into making Waze such a useful navigation tool, and I have just one feature request that I think would make it even better.
Would it be possible to add a customizable distance setting for spoken alerts about reported items along the route?
For example, when someone reports police ahead, I believe the voice alert currently happens at roughly half a mile away. I would…1 vote -
Celebrity Voices
Can you add Dave Chappelle voice. I would like to hear celebrity voices give street by street names and locations. I think it's possible on the iphone but not on android phones.

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.

When I use the voice commands it keeps saying the town and then "island"!
See the title. The voice commands are great but why does it say the name of the town and then "island" and ask if that is correct?
