  3. 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…

  4. Allow option to use device's TTS voice synthesis

    The Waze Android client has a decent sounding voice, but Android users can install 3rd party TTS apps. Please give us the option to choose to use the Android Text To Speech synthesis instead.

  5. Add Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey voice

    Add Hal's voice to Waze as an option.

    The important part is it must call everyone "Dave". For example, if you take a wrong turn you hear "Where are you going Dave?"

  6. 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. I would suggest adding another button in the route dialog box next to the go button or the routes button that just says "Route Only", or have a checkbox there that turns off voice navigation (so when you tap Go it just shows the route and time to destination).

  7. 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…

  9. 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?

  13. allow navigation voice to interrupt call

    some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.

    i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone

    make it a toggle option to please both camps

    and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)

    allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)

  15. 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?

    In voice navigation, you can add new option that can integrate with text to speech that instal on android device, like google talkback. If you can integrate with espeak text to speech, voice navigation can read street names and all guides in 79 languages.

    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.
