Navigational mobile application Waze will soon have a Tagalog voice command starting July 6 in line with the implementation of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act (ADDA) in the Philippines. “We’re releasing a whole suite in Tagalog with the voice navigation which will include street names and a Tagalog voice command,” Waze global strategic partnerships manager Mona Weng said in a televised Skype interview on Thursday. However, it allows the use of mobile communicating device provided that it is used with a hands-free device or similar gadget but not limited to, a speaker phone, earphones and microphones. “You can actually update your destinations with voice commands. So that way you don’t have to touch the phone at all,” Weng said.
