Has anyone had any problems with their Voice Recognition??? (2003 Infiniti M45)

[MBoxFever]

I posted a hlpe=me question about resolving a problem with my voice response on my voice recognition system, but no one responded. This leads me to believe that no one has an answer for me. So I would now like to know is if anyone has had any problems with their VR. system???

I find the vioce recognition works properly about 99% of the time. I'm real happy with it. What kind of problems are you having?

Out of no where the voice response just stopped meaning it still acknolwedges my voice and works in that respect however when i press the PTT button no beep sounds and when i give a command it doesnt respond back to me in the voice repeating what it heard. Have you ever heard of this happening?

Wish I could help. Sounds like a trip to the service department.

I've had some problems with my voice recognition. It seems to add additional numbers when I do a phone dial and it never seems to get the state right either when I request a navigation destination.

I have tried a couple fifferent speaking tones: ie normal speach, slow speach etc.. and nothing seems to work.

I sort of gave up on the system and just type in what I need or dial through my cell.

I'm with Mike^ You just have to practice with it to get the timing of your speech right.

It's counter-intuitive, but I find the faster I speak, the better the voice recognition. If I try to speak slowly and distinctly, then I start getting extra numbers and weird words. Best I can tell, if the speech is too slow and punctuated, the VR starts interpreting single syllables as whole words and does its best to match known words and phrases to them. So "eighty" spoken too slowly is interpreted as "eighty-three" or whatever. Likewise I suspect that any pause in speech, even for an instant, leads it to stop listening and start interpreting even if I keep talking. Background noise also makes a huge difference. The VR mutes the air conditioning and radio so it can hear better - I find an open sunroof bothers it, and an open door often totally confuses it. Likewise, talking to it even from the distance of the passenger seat seems to drop its accuracy. It wants the car sealed and the voice very loud and very fast and immediately after, but not before or during the beep.
