Voice Search & Voice Actions
You can initiate a Voice Search or Voice Action in several ways:
•Touch the 
Microphone icon in the Google Chrome omnibox.
•Touch the 
Microphone icon on the Home screen or Google Now screen and speak.
•Touch Google on the Home screen and say “Google”.
•When you’re viewing the Google Now screen, you don’t have to touch anything. Just say “Google.”
Next, speak the terms to search for or the Voice Action to perform. For more details on Voice Actions, see “Use Voice Actions.”
The ability to trigger a search or action by saying “Google” is called hotword detection. To turn it off or on, start from the Google Now screen and touch Menu > Settings > Voice > Hotword detection.
IMPORTANT: To detect when you say “Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google analyzes sound picked up by your tablet’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.
For more information about Voice Actions, see “Use Voice Actions” and ”Voice Actions commands.”
