Voice Prompts A voice prompt is a recorded script that is played by IVR, auto attendants, message-on-hold systems, and other voice processing tools commonly used by businesses. The 'prompt' as its name suggests prompts or guides the caller by requesting that they provide the system with information.

The voice prompt is the component of the turn instruction that describes the movement the driver needs to take.

Integrated voice response is an increasingly accessible option for businesses to automate the most common client interaction processes. Callers can interact with business systems via touch-tone or voice entry. For a successful IVR deployment, having engine prompts that are professionally recorded and managed is essential.

By default, the voice prompt for any given movement is automatically selected by Waze.

In some cases, however, the 'Waze selected' voice prompt is not the best instruction for the driver. In these cases, the 'Waze selected' voice prompt can be overridden in the Waze Map Editor to better match the reality of the road.

Principles

The voice prompt gives the Wazer a general idea of the movement they are going to make at the next junction that requires their action. Often, the default 'Waze selected' voice prompt will be the best representation of this movement.

At times, however, the default 'Waze selected' voice prompt might give a confusing movement instruction, or no instruction at all. The voice prompt override was developed for uncommon situations where Waze's default voice prompt could confuse the average Wazer.

Note, however, that overriding the voice prompt should generally be carefully considered on a movement-by-movement basis, not used broadly to force an alternative instruction style when typical Wazers are already accustomed to and reasonably comfortable with the default style. Also, please keep in mind that it is more time-consuming to analyze and verify junctions that use TIOs. The overwhelming majority of junctions should use Waze's default instructions.

When to keep Waze's default instruction

Don't override the default 'Waze selected' voice prompt until you have considered context, tradeoffs, and alternatives. Examples of when to not to override Waze's default voice prompt include:

Insignificant improvement. Consistency of instructions is important both for drivers and for editors diagnosing navigation problems. Therefore, don't override the voice prompt merely for stylistic reasons where it doesn't significantly reduce driver confusion over the default voice prompt.

Simple corrections in segment geometry will accomplish the desired voice prompt. If incorrect geometry at an intersection is causing an undesired voice prompt, and a change in geometry that more accurately reflects the path drivers take through the intersection will give a desired voice prompt, simply correct the geometry. This is better than adding an override on top of incorrect geometry. Be aware of angles deliberately constructed for special purposes and make sure to preserve the functionality for which they were intended.

Override is the same as Waze selected. Do not force an override that matches the Waze default. It accomplishes nothing except to make the map harder to maintain.

Obvious maneuvers. If Waze by default would provide no instruction for an obvious maneuver, don't force one. Obvious maneuvers typically involve good visibility, intuitive or conventional geometry, clear and consistent signage, or a conspicuous lack of alternatives.

Changes that do not impact the driver. Don't force an instruction simply to confirm changes in a road's name, status, neighborhood, or cardinal direction. This goes double when such changes are unsigned and the information is of no use to the driver. Besides, the Waze app prominently displays road names along one's route, so such information will already be available to the driver without forcing an instruction.

Continue

Usage principles for the Continue voice prompt are more complex than those for other voice prompts. Some uses for the 'Continue' voice prompt are informational, not instructional; it does not tell the driver to adjust course. Nevertheless, Waze will issue the 'Continue' instruction as it would any other, offering multiple advance warnings and a final alert at the location of the override.

As a result, the Continue voice prompt can be a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it is an ideal way to notify the driver of important changes to roadway circumstances, or of movements where the continuation path is not immediately obvious. On the other, over-use of the Continue voice prompt can give the driver repeated advisories essentially to do nothing. Before adding a Continue voice prompt one must, therefore, evaluate several tradeoffs.

Benefits

Surprise management. Alerting the driver to a potentially surprising change in roadway character (for example from a surface street to a freeway onramp) or to an unexpected and possibly problematic change in the roadway's legal/financial status;
Counterintuitive continues. Confirming that one should continue ahead even if doing so seems to conflict with roadway, traffic, or signage cues;
Long-haul transitions. Advising of transitions to major roadways that the driver may be on for great distances (particularly when transitioning 'up' to such roadways from less-significant routes) to set context for a subsequent instruction that may be hours away; and
Exit renumbering notification (controversial). Marking a change in freeway exit numbering. Few editors consider this benefit by itself to be worth the drawbacks of forcing a Continue voice prompt.

Drawbacks

Instruction blocking. Suppressing a 'real' navigation instruction that comes after the Continue, so that the driver receives no warning of a required maneuver until past the Continue;
Instruction whiplash. When blocked instructions take place immediately after a Continue, the driver may be left with insufficient time to execute the blocked instruction once it issues. The Continue may even contradict signage for the blocked instruction and set the driver up to fail, for example by instructing the Continue even as the driver passes signs advising of a required exit;
Redundancy/confusion. Confusing drivers
