Voice Control
Voice Control (iPod touch 3rd generation or later) lets you control music playback using voice
commands. To use Voice Control with iPod touch 3rd generation, you need Apple Earphones with
Remote and Mic, or a compatible accessory with a microphone.
Note: Voice Control may not be available in all languages.
Use Voice Control: Press and hold the Home button until the Voice Control screen appears and
you hear a beep.
For best results:
Speak clearly and naturally. Â
Say only iPod touch commands and names. Â
Pause slightly between commands. Â
For a list of available commands, see “Using Voice Control with Music” on page 38.
Voice Control normally expects you to speak voice commands in the language that’s set for
iPod touch (the setting in General > International > Language). Voice Control settings let you
change the language for speaking voice commands. Some languages are available in different
dialects or accents.
Change the language or country: In Settings, choose General > International > Voice Control and
tap the language or country.
