Voice for the Starship Enterprise - Majel Barrett
Majel Barrett
If it seems like every Starfleet ship and station in the Star Trek universe has a computer with the same voice, you’re not imagining things. Majel Barrett, the wife of Gene Roddenberry, was the voice of the computer in many of the original episodes of Star Trek as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, five of the Star Trek films, two episodes of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise, and various computer games and software related to the franchise.
Barrett, Gene Roddenberry’s girlfriend at the time, appeared in Star…

Add Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey voice

Allow showing route without starting voice navigation directions
Their time to when you want to see the route and know how long it's going to take without actually starting voice command navigation.

English (uk) voice has changed for the worst
Hi- I am a big fan of WAZE. I use it everyday and convert everyone over to it, as well. There is an issue in having with the updated "voices".
The new ENGLISH (UK) does not say the street names as it used to do. This is a problem because now I have to continually take my eyes off road and read the street names on phone. Tonight I MISSED MY MERGE because I was looking down at phone and couldn't merge to the left in time.
The previous ENGLISH (uk) voice would say mileage, direction of turn or merge…

Voice
When Waze is not in use but is apparently still tracking my route in the background, it calls out the upcoming hazards even though I don't have the app in use. I have to set it to no sounds while I'm driving to get it to be quiet. Can there be a setting that turns off the voice when the app is clearly not in use?
2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you may know, Waze already supports this feature.Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Please add a voice command where I can mute and un-mute navigation guidance.
For the next Waze Update, please add more voice commands. For example include a voice command where I can mute and un-mute navigational assistance. Also, would it be possible to dictate the address of your next destination?
Does anyone else have any more suggestions for additional voice commands?

I want to suggest asking Helena Merriman (a presenter on the BBC Radio show The Inquiry) to lend her voice to the app. Her voice is exceptionally clear and very pleasing to the ear.
