No speech instructions

RouteYou offers Turn by Turn instructions. This both visually and auditorily

If you do not hear speech instructions , this may have several causes. We recommend that you check the following things first:

  1. Is voice guidance enabled?
  2. Is the volume of your device loud enough?


   The settings for voice instructions are device specific. If you are still not getting instructions, please follow the tips below.

Samsung (Android)

ATTENTION
The step by step instructions below were tested on the most common versions of Android. There may be differences depending on the device you are using. Please check carefully which tips may apply to your device.

 

On most Samsung devices, there are two ways to generate speech instructions: there is the Samsung engine on the one hand and the Google engine on the other. From experience, we have found that the Samsung engine often does not give the desired results. 

   We therefore recommend Samsung users to switch to Google's Speech Services.

 

NOTE
If you don't see Google's Speech Services listed anywhere, you need to install it first from Google Play (Speech Services by Google).
