Waze Navigational Mobile App Will Speak in Tagalog Voice Soon


Wazzup Pilipinas!

To comply with Anti-Distracted Driving Act (ADDA), Waze navigational mobile app will have voice commands in Tagalog soon.

Waze will soon have voice direction language in Tagalog. Who would you like to be used as its voice? Kris Aquino, Ruffa Mae Quinto, Rey Langit, Gus Abelgas, Korina Sanchez, Kuya Cesar, Mike Enriquez, etc?

This will be starting on July 6, 2017 Tagalog Waze voice be like:

"Ikaw ay nakarating na sa iyong destinasyon" 

"Sa labing-limang kilometro, umikot pa-kanan" 

Sana magkaroon rin ng Bekinese language option sa Waze.

"Pagdating sa kanto, ikaliwa mo gurl! Dyan dali! Ayan! Pak! Pak! Kembot!

or 

"Beshie, sa ika-300 na metro, bahay na ni ex yan. Move on move on din."

If Grace Poe voice was on Waze: "Sa may stoplight, mag U-turn po. Ako po ay Pilipino, hindi ko lang po alam ang Tagalog ng stoplight at U-turn."

How I wish somebody would invent a Tagalog , Visayan or Ilokano Waze which will give more animated instructions like: " Hoy, tanga! Sabi ko na sa iyo left turn! At, hindi 10 feet kung hindi 3.048 meters na, kasi metric na lahat except sa USA!"

But Magiting Street is still Ma-jiay-ting. It may still take time for Waze to pronounce Tagalog words correctly.
