Use Voice Actions
In addition to searching the web by speaking, you can use Voice Actions to call your contacts, get
directions, send messages, and perform a number of other common tasks.
1 On a Home screen or when the keyboard for the Browser's Omnibox is open, touch the Microphone
icon at the upper right.
A dialog with a microphone icon opens.
2 Speak the Voice Action you want to use.
When you're finished speaking, Voice Search analyzes your speech and initiates the action.
If Voice Search didn't understand what you said, it presents a list of similar-sounding search terms
and actions, which you can touch to choose.
Some Voice Actions, such as “send email” and “note to self”, open a panel that prompts you to
complete the action by speaking or typing more information.
G
Touch any text already entered in the panel to add or edit the text by typing.
To speak text instead of typing, first touch the Microphone key near the bottom left of the onscreen
keyboard.
G
Touch underlined words or phrases or drag across multiple words to view a list of alternate
transcriptions, or to edit by speaking or typing.
