To search the web by speaking

SPress & hold the Search button

OR

STouch the Microphone icon in Quick Search Box.

If you touch the Microphone icon in an application’s search box, you search the application by voice, not the web.

A dialog opens, prompting you to speak the words that you want to search for.

When you’re finished speaking, Google search by voice analyzes your speech and displays the results of your search.

If Google search by voice misunderstood you, Quick Search Box presents a list of similar-sounding search terms.

You can also preface your search by speaking special words to take the following actions:

G Say “Call,” followed by a name from your contacts, followed by the kind of phone number (“mobile,” “work,” and so on)—for example, “Call Mike home.” If there is a single match, the number is dialed automatically. See “Dialing by voice” on page 88.

G Say “Directions to,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of busi- ness, or other destination, to get directions to that location from Google Maps.

G Say “Navigate to,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of busi- ness, or other destination to get spoken, turn-by-turn directions to that desti- nation.

G Say “Map of,” followed by an address, name, business name, type of business, or other location, to view that location on Google Maps.
