Voice tips
Voice actions
Voice actions let you perform many tasks just by
speaking to your phone: call or text your friends, get
directions, set an alarm, and more.
To perform a voice action:
1 Touch Search , then to open voice search.
2 Speak the voice action you want to perform.
Tip: You can also access voice search by touching in
the Google™ Search widget.
If voice search doesn’t understand what you said, it
presents a list of search terms and actions you can touch
to choose.
Some actions, like “send email” and “note to self,” open
a page that prompts you to complete the action by
speaking or typing more information.
