Has anyone used it and what do they use it for?
The training is for the computer to understand your voice, to better assist with voice recognition for your commands.
Pretty much useless for me with top down driving. Cellphone calls as well, get tired of shouting over the engine noise.
Its not a bad system. Though how you manage to use it with top down- no idea. In the coupe, have to turn it to sport or wet mode if I really want to make a call. The voice training works ok. Quite primitive. I imagine a siri like voice recognition software will be the next itineration. Sunny
What's REAL useless on *****in' Betty is when you have to go through all the voice commands just to make a darn call! I say Dial number XXX-XXX-XXXX Betty repeats number XXX-XXX-XXXX I say dial, She say dialing number XXX-XXX-XXXX I don't even bother any more....
The state of the art is impressive. I rode my new 2014 Harley (yeah, yeah, I know, no need for abuse) at 70mph with the Harley boom mike on my helmet. I could hardly hear myself talk. But I spoke a street address preceded by the word "Destination" and, to my amazement, the correct address showed up on the GPS screen. This was a random address, not one of the memorized destinations. A Spider should be a much easier task, although a boom mike helps, as it does when flying an aircraft.
