why can't I use the voices of Speech Recognition & Synthesis

[KattyGeltmeyer]

@DeniGu and co: when I use navigation while travelling, I can get auditive instructions. But it seems maps has its own set of voices. I prefer the Dutch for Belgium voices that are available within Speech Recognition & Synthesis. Why can't I use the voices of Speech Recognition & Synthesis while using google maps? Thanks for asking the google maps teams. Sincerely, Katty

Hello @KattyGeltmeyer ,

I hope you are doing well.

I'm tagging our Google moderator @AngieYC  again to share thier thoughts about your question.

And I'm sorry that you are getting the answer late. 

Just a small advice, that next time if you have any questions about Google maps or Connect, please post your question in How-tos section, there you can get quick reply by one of Connect moderators especially @ErmesT -& @MortenCopenhagen 

Thank you.

Hi @KattyGeltmeyer,

Is there a particular reason why you prefer the voices within Speech Recognition & Synthesis? Is it related to accuracy or something else? The best way to share your thoughts about this is by sending feedback directly through Maps.

As @KashifMisidia mentioned, the How-tos section is the most suitable for asking questions about the Local Guides program and Maps. I will move your post there for you. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @@@DeniGu: Thanks for moving my post to the "how to" section. If I would see the "how to" in the list of categories when chosing one for starting a post, I for sure would chose it but nvda and localguidesconnect are often wrestling with each other. I know that within google maps you can use a voice for Dutch Netherlands, but not the Dutch Belgium voices that are available within speech recognition and synthesis. I would prefer to give the user to chose the voice he or she likes, if the choices are limited and the user prefers another voice for following instructions, ... Sending feedback within an app isn't easy when you aren't handy with the virtual keyboard. I prefer sending feedback by using an accessible website. Thanks for the help you can offer. Sincerely, Katty
