When you’re nished speaking, Voice Search analyzes your speech and Browser opens, displaying results of a Google
Search on the web. See “Browser” on page 84.
If you have the Use My Location setting checked in the Google Search settings, local results are featured in your
search results (see “Changing Google Search settings” on page 74).
If Google Search didn’t understand what you said, it presents a list of similar-sounding search terms and actions,
which you can touch to continue with that action.
Some Voice Actions open another application, where you’re prompted to conrm and complete the action, for
example, sending messages opens Google Mail and setting an alarm opens Clock.
