called announce

I have provided the steps on how you can enable the Use Speech to announce caller ID in my initial response.

For your convenience, here the detailed steps:

• Launch the Settings app.
• Tap Ease of Access.
• Tap More options.
• Tap the On/Off slider under the Use Speech to announce caller ID to set it on or off.
  

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

 

Navigation should announce street name every time

There are voices you can download that will announce street names. Look in the app's settings.

The app also does announce the next step right after a turn. Not sure why it's not for you. It always does for me, then usually announces again at set intervals such as 1km, 600km, 200km, the turn itself.

I've never been led astray by the navigation. In fact, the few times I doubted HERE Drive, I've gone the wrong way.

 

caller id announcement

Hi,
sandra michelleanderson.

Thank you for reaching out on Microsoft Community.

Please follow the steps provided below to turn on Speech:

• 
  To turn on Speech for accessibility, tap Settings
  
  > Ease of access, and then turn
  on
  
  Speech for phone accessibility. This enables the following:
  
  • Talking caller ID for phone calls. When you get a call, your phone will announce the name or number of the caller.
  • Speed dialing. To assign a speed dial number, say "Save speed dial" and then follow the instructions. Once you assign some speed dial numbers, you can use the "Call speed dial" command to call them. Say "Call speed dial number"
    (where number is the assigned speed dial number)
  • Turning call forwarding on or off using Speech. Say "Turn call forwarding on" or "Turn call forwarding off."
• 
  To have your phone announce and read incoming text messages, tap Settings > Speech, and then turn on
  
  Play
  audio confirmations. Tap Read aloud incoming text messages, and then choose when you want to hear the announcements—all the time, or only when using a Bluetooth and/or a wired headset.
  
• 
  When your phone announces an incoming text, you can say "Read it" or "Ignore." Then you can dictate and send a reply.
