will move into standby mode. Say
“H

to wake it up. To open
Y
ouTube, for example, say
“

Control apps by speaking
Y
es, you can use S
V
oice to open up your
favourite app, but what if you are already inside
the app? There are apps on your Samsung
Galaxy that can be controlled by S
V

F
or
example, you can instruct your device to play
a song. S
V

P

and play the track. Once in there, however, you
can also tell S
V

There are di
ff
erent methods of waking up the S
V
oice system. The
most obvious is tapping the app icon, but you can also wake it
up from a lock screen.
F
rom inside the S
V
oice Settings menu you
can provide a wake-up command that will unlock the phone, but
there are other commands that will also start S
V
oice and then
immediately start an app such as
M
usic
P
layer, or open the
C

app or check a schedule. There’s one important point you need
to remember when enabling the wake-up from lock function:
the mic will listen for the commands at all times, which will drain
your battery. The easiest way to
q
uickly open the S
V
oice app is to
double-tap the home key.
Y
ou can activate or disable this feature by
going to Settings from the menu icon, but we found that it is the
easiest and less cumbersome method of launching this service.
