VOICE ACTUATED HAND CONTROLS
The Voice Command system brings the latest assistive technology to the automotive industry. Voice prompts activate the auxiliary controls of the vehicle and the software is programmed to work with various languages including ‘Australian’ English. The intelligent software continues to recognise voice prompts regardless of music or voices coming from the radio.
The high quality shotgun microphone is designed to be directed to the driver with the gooseneck connection and specifically recognising the voice of the driver. This is advantageous because it can pick up the sound only from the user, directly in front, while disregarding any other unwanted sounds that may be present in the environment.
Features
Functions that are typically activated with the voice command are:
-
Indicators
-
Low beam lights
-
High beam lights
-
Horn
-
Wipers – slow – medium – fast
-
Windscreen washer

Hazard lights
