does it have voice recognition of any type

Not that I am aware of, though mine seems to have a problem with the sound card because I cannot Skype on it. I have been asked to take it to the service centre to get that fixed. Perhaps when that's done, I might find it has voice recognition, but I doubt.

Voice recognition is part of Windows function. So, essentially any Windows computer with microphone "comes with" voice recognition. This one is not an exception. It needs to be activated though. Does it work well? Now, that is a separate question all together... I haven't used it in a while, but it used to require quite a bit of patience. I am not sure if it has gotten any better over the years.

It does. To activate it You have to change the input by pressing one of the buttons. You'll see a mic option

Hey Kathryn. Nope it doesn't have any voice recognition on it. I just checked my tablet for you, but other than that its a great tablet to own!

It does have voice command capacity as long as the number with name is on your cell phone. I don't use that feature, but it can be done.

No. It saves your profile changes (voice recognition patterns) to your hard drive. You have to initially load a CD with all the vocabular on it though.

It records exactly what it hears, so it is capable of any sound or language. I don't think it's pre-recorded phrases are anything but English.

Yes it does. The software provided has a voice preview feature that allows you to hear yourself talking.

I did not test the microphone extensively, it was good for Skype and taking calls while driving, but it doesn't work for voice recognition on some software such add language learning

I don't know why people responded that there is voice recognition with the Nuvi 2557. I purchased because they said it did but it definitely NOES NOT HAVE VOICE RECOGNITION. I checked on the garmin site just to make sure and it confirms under "features and benefits" that there is no voice activated navigation. Now I need to decide if I'll keep this version. Wish amazon checked these answers as there were 6 answers saying yes, I thought it was accurate.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

This belongs to my step son, and he has never mentioned using voice with it, and that is a feature he would like for himself, so I would assume that it does not, but can't say positively, sorry.

not that I am aware of, but it's the best bluetooth I've ever had voice activation etc you can answer or ignore a call I believe it gives you the number so you can make that choice. I have to order my third one for a family member this week. good luck

My computers have speech recognition, but I've never tried it. I will advise that microphone response will vary and affect the ability of speech recognition. This means that if you change a headset you'll need to set up the speech recognition over again.

Yes, but the voice recognition is not the best. Works best using the number.
