The Navigation system on my car comes with a choice of two languages. English and Korean.
In both there is a spoken female voice that gives directions.
In Korean only I have voice recognition software, which I have briefly tested and found to be fairly useless.
I tend not to use the navigation in Jeju, but on my long roadtrip around Korea in the Ioniq EV, I was fully dependant on Serena telling me where to go. After a while I got used to talking back to her, even though clearly she wasn't listening.

I've been looking inside the voice app: com.hkmc.mediazen.voicehandler.
The two voices on my car are

KOK TTS VOICE MODEL = YUNA
KOK TTS ENTER PROMPT = 네에 말씀하세요
Sample - Yuna's Voice
and
ENG TTS VOICE MODEL = SERENA
ENG TTS ENTER PROMPT = Please, Say Command
Sample - Serena's Voice

In the USA you get
ENU TTS VOICE MODEL = SAMANTHA
ENU TTS ENTER PROMPT = Please, Say Command
Sample - Samantha's Voice

From the mediazen website here - http://www.mediazen.co.kr/en/index.html
I can see the list of the 22 languages available

I don't have samples on my car for the other languages, But I do have 20 of the 22 names. No Norwegian or Slovakian in my list.
Anyone want to share what these voices sound like.
Code:
French : FRF TTS VOICE MODEL 	= AUDREY
French Canadian: FRC TTS VOICE MODEL 	= JULIE
Spanish: SPE TTS VOICE MODEL 	= MONICA
Mexican Spanish: SPM TTS VOICE MODEL 	= PAULINA
German: GED TTS VOICE MODEL 	= ANNA
Swedish: SWS TTS VOICE MODEL 	= ALVA
Dutch: DUN TTS VOICE MODEL 	= CLAIRE
Danish: DAD TTS VOICE MODEL 	= IDA

My car is imported from Germany and I don't have the Norwegian language. I am actually not even sure if the Norwegian cars have Norwegian as an option. Will check it out though. I use the English voice.
