Infotainment System

What is Voice Recognition?

Modern vehicles are just like today's tablets and computers. They are equipped with language features that allow you to speak directly to your device and ask it to do something helpful for you. For example, you might ask your phone to play a song for you, and it will politely do this. Most Buick models come with this feature built into the infotainment system. This feature allows you the pleasure of asking your infotainment system to do things for you, so you don't have to take your hands from the wheel. How does it work?

Setting up Voice Recognition in Buick Infotainment System

You can activate your Buick voice command by pressing a button on your steering wheel (in most models). Please keep in mind that the vehicle has to be started first, so you'll want to wait until you've turned the ignition to press the icon on your wheel. Once you've done this, you can use helpful commands like:

  • "Directions to <address>"
  • "Call <name> at home "
  • "Play Song <song>"

In more advanced systems, you can even ask for recommendations as to where to eat in the location you're near. This feature is especially helpful while you're traveling and not familiar with local dining establishments. Voice recognition is an important part of modern vehicles, as it allows you to safely make phone calls without having to shuffle about the vehicle and locate your phone. And as we all know, texting and driving is illegal in most places, but thanks to voice recognition, you can safely text without having to remove your hands from the wheel and endangering yourself or anyone else. You request your Buick infotainment system to send a text.
