Using your voice remote
- First, press and hold down the
button to enable voice command. - Say your voice command while holding the button
down.
Your command can be a single word (e.g., a channel’s name) or an entire sentence. You don’t have to change the way you talk, as the voice recognition technology was designed to adapt to a wide range of French and English accents in Québec.
Bon à savoir
