Selecting your Language

1. Press and hold the Action button (large, black, texture button on the boom-side housing.) If you’re not sure where the Action Button is, check out the HMT-1 or HMT-1Z1 device overview.
2. All the supported languages are displayed as preview, using their respective Country flags:

The device automatically scrolls through the language list and highlights one language at a time, for about two seconds each.

3. When the desired language is highlighted, release the Action button and the device will immediately reconfigure to show commands only in that language.

FAQ

Is it possible for RealWear to add support for local dictation in additional languages?

Only English, Mandarin Chinese, and German are supported with RealWear’s voice technology so adding local dictation in additional languages is not technically feasible.
