Voice Search & Voice Actions
You can use Voice Actions with Google Search to get directions, send
messages, and perform a number of other common tasks. You can also use
Voice Actions to type text by speaking.
Turn Voice Search or Voice Action On
You can initiate a Voice Search or Voice Action in several ways:
Tap the Microphone icon on the Home screen or Google Now screen
and speak.
Tap the search bar on the Home screen and say “Ok Google”.
When you’re viewing the Google Now screen, you don’t have to tap
anything. Just say “Ok Google.”
NOTE
To detect when you say “Ok Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice
Actions, Google analyzes sound picked up by your device’s microphone
in intervals of a few seconds or less. The sound is immediately
discarded after analysis and is not stored on the device or sent to
Google.
Voice Search
After you say “Ok Google” or tap the Microphone icon , Google listens to
what you say and searches for it. If Google isn’t sure what you’re searching for,
it’ll show you some suggestions. Just tap the one you want.
Voice Actions
You can use Voice Actions to perform common tasks, such as sending an
email or opening an app. After tapping the Microphone icon or saying “Ok
Google”, speak the Voice Action you want to use.
Tip: You can say “help” to see examples of the kinds of things you can tell
Google to do for you.
Examples include:
“Set alarm for 8:30 a.m.”
“Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight? Message: Hope to
see you later.”
“Navigate to Mike’s Bikes in Palo Alto.”
