Correct and change a café order

Correcting a misunderstanding recalls what you ordered; changing your mind introduces a new request. Before saying yes, check both the drink temperature and whether it is for here or to go.

New dialogue audio uses a supported device voice when a recording is unavailable. Some devices may not have a voice for this language.

Sound options

Choose a voice and play the sample. Availability depends on your device.

If your language voice is missing, you can try browser automatic voice. Stop if the pronunciation sounds wrong.

Your voice choice stays in this browser. Some voices need internet.

Check your media volume and Bluetooth connection. Choose another voice or recheck after enabling the language in your device's speech settings.
