📣 Proposal to Waze: Introducing a User-Created Voice Navigation Marketplace

I would like to make a proposal regarding Waze’s voice navigation feature.

Currently, users primarily rely on the standard voice options provided by Waze.
Although some users can already create and share custom voices on a limited basis, I believe Waze should take this concept further by introducing a fully supported system where individual creators can produce, upload, and sell their own navigation voices within the app.

This idea provides significant benefits for Waze, creators, and users alike.

■ Reasons for the Proposal

Creators with strong voice talent can monetize their work
Aspiring voice actors, streamers, and influencers could sell their own navigation voices, creating a new income opportunity.

Waze can earn revenue as well
The more fans purchase a creator’s voice pack, the more revenue Waze can earn through a commission model.
This creates a sustainable business model that benefits both Waze and the creators.

Users gain a wider variety of voice options
In addition to official voices, users could choose from unique voices, dialects, character-style voices, and more—making Waze a more enjoyable navigation experience.

A simple upload-and-sell system encourages participation
If creators can upload recorded voice lines, pass a basic quality check, and immediately start selling, many users will be motivated to contribute.

Building on the existing ability to share custom voices
Since it is already possible for some users to create and share custom voices on a small scale, expanding this into an official, accessible marketplace would greatly increase participation and value.

I strongly believe this system would enhance the appeal of Waze and create a model where
creators, users, and Waze all benefit together.
