Hello everyone,

Based on my 2 week use of the taycan I found that the voice command goes from very dumb (not able to get it to navigate to the home registred adress or to play music from USB) to very surprising (you can change the colors of the led if you have the corresponding option). So In this thread I propose that we try to list all the working voice commands that we achieved to use and I'll sum them up in this post (or if anybody have some kind of list, please share):


Update 29.12.2020: I've been through the "Help" command and noted all the possible commands given there. If you found other voice commands. Let me know

Hello everyone,

CAR SETTINGS


COMFORT SETTING

- Light blue (or any other color available)

NAVIGATION


MUSIC


CALENDAR


PHONE

- Call John (or any contact you have)
You need to say “drive home” or something similar. If you say “go home”, ours tries to call home.
Like most voice recognition systems, you have to learn it’s syntax before you realize how handy it can be.
We are in the early stages of our “training” and it ranges from frustrating to hilarious.

Thanks for your tip, I've investigated further the "help" command so I've updated my first posts with the results:)

Thx for this - there are some other similar threads I believe but great working summary - TBH, I basically never use the voice control because it can be so inconsistent or perhaps more correctly, my memory of it's specific syntax is so poor, but as with other such AI's, it really should learn 'natural' language better imo - maybe some day!
Either way I should at least try to get more familiar with it (a New Year resolution!) and this helps,
Cheers, C.

Is it possible to control Android Auto apps by voice commands (like Waze) too ?

I seldom use it as its so inconsistent.

I was just telling her last weekend to 'concentrate you f*c*ing waste of space' as I was trying to get her to play a radio station, but she repeatedly selects something not even remotely similar.....

When I suddenly wondered if there is some learning process goes on.
And if so, does she get better the more you use her?

Anyone know the answer?

My last BMW was brilliant compared to the Taycan.

concentrate you f*c*ing waste of space
Try 'focus you (...)'

She might not understand 'concentrate... Just saying.

If you scroll to Voice Pilot here in this reprinted Porsche News article on PCM 6.0, you'll see a ref to AI learning but this may be more aligned with 'interpreting' commands towards more relevant actions vs learning your specific user voice tone/accent to improve understanding (vs interpretation) of any command you speak (akin to what Siri and Alexa etc supposed do).

https://www.slashgear.com/porsche-u...ced-voice-commands-and-android-auto-18678832/

A more in-depth report on AI "reinforcement" learning by Porsche (but again not directly answering your question and probably more relevant to autonomous driving routines):

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/202...ineering-success-strategy-ai-agent-23311.html

And if you're really in to it :), another related article on "Federated" AI Learning pertinent to how a global AI learning database (of users) can be leveraged in Voice Pilot:
