# Configure voice notifications

You can set up voice notifications for car, bicycle, scooter, and walking routes.

## Setting up sounds and volume {#sound-volume}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
   Tap **![](_assets/profile-icon.svg) (profile picture)**. If you haven't signed in, tap ![](_assets/menu-burger.svg).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
    
1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
   Tap **Settings** → **Sounds and alerts**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
    
1. Set the options you need. In the app, you can:
    
    - Set up voice navigation:
      ![](_assets/sound-on.svg) — Turn on all sounds.
      ![](_assets/sound-important.svg) — Notifications about cameras and road events only.
      ![](_assets/sound-off.svg) — Turn off all sounds.
    
    - Adjust the volume of notifications, voice navigation, and other sounds in the app by selecting **Low**, **Mid**, or **High**.
    - Manage sound volume during notifications:
          
    
      {% cut "On Android devices" %}
    
        - **Turn down music and other sounds**
        - **Pause music**
        - **Do nothing** (music and notifications will play at the same time)
    
      {% endcut %}
    
      {% cut "On iOS devices" %}
    
        - **Turn down music and other sounds**
        - **Do nothing** (music and notifications will play at the same time)
    
      {% endcut %}
    
    - Select the language (same language as in the app or a different one). The app supports voice search for Russian and Turkish languages.
    - Select the speaker's voice. By default, it's Jack. You can download a voice that you like from the available options. If you select the Russian language, the voices of Yana Lukyanova, Igor Pankov, Dmitry Guberniev, and Imanbek will be available even on walking routes. If you select a different voice, or if guidance is not supported by the downloaded one, the hints will be voiced by Jack.

## Speeding notifications {#speeding}

To set up the sound notification for speeding:

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
   Tap **![](_assets/profile-icon.svg) (profile picture)**. If you haven't signed in, tap ![](_assets/menu-burger.svg).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
    
1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
   Tap **Settings** → **Sounds and alerts**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
    
1. Enable **Speed limit**.
1. Move the slider to choose the point over the speed limit. If you exceed this value, the app will notify you of the limit and speed cameras.
    
    {% note info %}
    
    To enable speed camera notifications, turn on the **Speed cameras** option.
    
    {% endnote %}
    

{% cut "There are no voice alerts for speed cameras" %}

Check the value you set in **Warn when exceeding speed limit**. For example, you've set the slider to +15 km/h. This means that if there's a 60 km/h section, you'll receive a speed camera notification when your speed reaches 75 km/h.

{% endcut %}

## Notifications about speed cameras {#cameras}

By default, the app notifies you of all speed cameras. To set up sound notifications:

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
   Tap **![](_assets/profile-icon.svg) (profile picture)**. If you haven't signed in, tap ![](_assets/menu-burger.svg).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step1.md -->
    
1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
   Tap **Settings** → **Sounds and alerts**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/id-settings-app/step2.md -->
    
1. Select the cameras you want to receive notifications about:
    
    {% cut "Available notifications" %}
    
    - **Speed cameras**
    - **Road marking cameras**
    - **Speed traps**
    - **Lane monitoring cameras**
    - **Intersection monitoring cameras**
    
    {% note info %}
    
    You hear notifications about intersection monitoring cameras if your speed is above 30 km/h.
    
    {% endnote %}
    
    {% endcut %}
