Wish List for Voice Commands

mattbeckwith · 12-05-2007, 01:46 PM

Here's what I'd like to do. Please let me know if this is possible:

1. "Recent calls"
2. "Call number 3 in the list"

Is there such a thing?

That would be a good one, to be able to call the n'th caller in your list.

My wish list is simpler:

"Take me to work, wake me when we arrive".

"KITT, I need you!"

"Warp 9, Mr. Sulu" and "Beam me up, Scotty."
Pretty much everything else would be unnecessary.

I disagree. How about "Shields up!" and "Arm photon torpedoes". I'd find those particularly useful.

That's funny because I named my car KATT...since it's a female voice with the navigation. LOL.

Not a command, but I wish the voice would intone, whenever it dips below 40, "Cold weather will really make your gas mileage go down." Also, if you've driven for less than 15 minutes, when you turn off the car, the voice should say, "Short trips will really make your gas mileage go down."

One of my quibbles is that many of the voice commands aren't available on certain screens.

Like, for instance, I'd like to be able to 'Call home' from the NAV screen.

And a wierdness that confused me to begin with was 'louder' which made Jill (the navigation female) talk louder, instead of making the music louder...

I get a bit peeved when I want to make a phonecall and have to switch screens to do it.

Aside: 'Find nearest Chinese restaurant' has to be the best command available

"Switch plates" to do a James Bond style rotate of the number plates when passing a "safety" camera.

"Deploy oilslick" to deter the many over friendly drivers I encouter.

Although much like Gordon Brown suggesting a change in laws regarding political donations, it would be nice for more effort going into making the current system work properly than implementing new features.

"Raise temperature" - "Displaying civic centres"

I disagree... I think "I'm Hungry" is the best available command.

Has anyone else found any other hidden commands like this one?

On a more serious note, the one command I wish they had is to input an *Intersection* destination similar to how the "Address" voice command works. I often want to get to a particular neighbourhood while driving, but don't know a numerical address off the top of my head. Since the street-locating logic is there for the Address command, why couldn't they just duplicate that?
