Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this.
I am trying to automate my phone by using voice commands,state executions etc.
Tasker is one of the app I really like and hope to get some good understanding of it in order to make my phone more efficient.
Right now I'd like to know if there's a way to use the navigation system through the voice command and also set it to either use or not use motorways.
According to google, to use the navigation system I have to use the word "navigate to... location".
By doing this, a page, showing time and distance, comes up but then I have to click on it in order to proceed
However I tried "navigate to 'location' avoid motorway" and this doesn't work.
How can I achieve this?
Are there ways to go through apps functions using voice commands?
Is it there a better voice command alternative than google now?(i heard of autovoice and utter, what's your opinion?)
Thank you in advance
Has anyone else gotten this to work? I enabled the options in Google now and trained my voice but testing repeatedly, Google Now only recognized the hotword when I have Google now physically pulled up. Not even working when the screen is on and not in Google Now Launcher.
This works for me... I was curious if there was a way to enable wake on hot word? Anyone know? Silly when I see people on the moto x , but I still want it...
Hot word detection isn't working from the lockscreen or with the screen off for me, even though i have the options enabled. Is this a bug, or am i missing something?
So I'm not the only one with this problem...
For folks that don't know, you can enable Moto X- like hotword detection when the screen is off. You enable this through the Google Now settings under the Voice tab, selecting the "OK Google Detection" option. Enable all three options in the next screen to (try to) enable hotword detection at all times.
Unfortunately, it isn't very reliable for me. Hotword detection works fine in the launcher or in the Google Now app. But it often doesn't work the rest of the time.
Definitely you're not alone Same problem here. OKGoogle only works when I'm in the launcher.
Same here. I am using it with English US as primary and German as secondary language.
No results until i am on the Google Now Launcher....hopfully just a little buck in our version of Android L.
I have the same issue. Please everybody report this on the feedback within google now .
Voice detection is not working correctly on the nexus 9

5.0.1 has fixed this issue for me.
Issue still exists here on 5.0.1
I'm not a fan of google feeling the need to listen to everything I say. I did search for this, but all I'm coming up with is people wanting to disable the "Ok google" text on the screen. I'd like to disable to feature all together, but it doesn't seem there is an option anywhere. Am I missing something or do you need a custom rom to get rid of this crap? Thanks guys!

I do not know if there is anyone who would have done this... the "OK Google" is the core part of android wear...... If you do not like that feature, you may be better off with a different wearable.
I am not trying to be rude, just can not understand why you need to remove almost all functionality of your watch.

Actually he made an interesting question, indeed. The voice recognition of the "OK GOOGLE" hotword isn't fully used by everyone (as with on phone) so disabling that should spare some battery juice.

I can understand where the feauture may be useful, but I myself don't feel it's necessary to have google listening to me at all times. I wouldn't quite say that is "almost all the functionality" of the watch. Why can't I activate the menu an then begin speaking rather than it just listening at all times?

That's a good point too. I'm sure that "feature" is draining my battery.
I think the OP has a valid point. Personally I don't care if Google hears me. However, I would be okay if I could just tap the screen to give a voice command instead of saying okay Google. Everyone looks at me funny when I say that part. Probably save a little time too.
Also, I wish I could just tap on the watch to have it input voice to text on my phone when I'm in a text field. I like to use Swype, but hate there voice to text option when I want to use it.
I can see how having the option to turn off always listening would be good for some people, i thought he wanted to remove ALL of the google now functions.
Maybe someone will come up with a mod for it soon.
I'm fed up of this "OK GOOGLE" Logo everytime, Hope they will give us an option to remove the word in next update.!

just use it a couple of times, then the text will no longer be shown...so, just say "ok google" to activate the search (i think about 5 times necessary, correct me, if i am wrong), then you will no longer see the text when waking up your watch...
I'm interested in partially deactivating the "ok google" feature too, as I my main language is french and ok google works only about 20% of the time for me

My main language is also French and the detection is working almost flawlessly
no solution yet?!
worst thing with the Hotword detection is, that it's too often wrong with the detection and starts recording .. it's like you have a bug on your wrist
for me, it records about 10 times a day without me saying "ok google"...
but check it yourself: history.google(.com)/history/audio (remove the () , i cant post links because of new member)
worst function ever. so anybody knows how to delete this ****ed up function?!
These devices were made with the hotword detection specifically in mind, I believe that the battery use should be negligible. I personally haven't noticed any battery problems coming from the Android Wear app or the Google app (on watch, through the battery statistics.) most of my battery problems were from watchfaces still using the 4.4w APIs and badly coded applications.
That said, because they were made specifically with hotword detection and Google Now in mind, it cannot be disabled without someone possibly making a custom ROM to turn it off, however no one has made a true custom ROM for wear yet (I'm not even sure they can honestly.)
What I ended up doing is going into the Google account options on the phone. Under search - voice there is an option for "OK Google detection" doing this seemed to completely disable it. I don't understand how people are comfortable having an open mic with them at all times. Just because you "have nothing to hide" doesn't mean something should always be listening.

It may always be listening, but it isn't always recording. The Ok, Google hotword detection only records the first second before and after you say Ok, Google. It's not always sending things over to Google. Just because you have things to hide, doesn't mean you should be paranoid about it
The google services have indeed plagued many phones for their background services, alarms, and receivers.
What I cannot understand is how the 'Ok Google' still works even when I have switched my watch to Airplane Mode.
Not everyone buys an Android Wear to enjoy the google services. Some, including me, like only the Wear Faces. One watch, many wear faces, saves the money to 'collect' many different watches just for the sake of keeping up a lifestyle.
I spend a lot of time in the car, so the OK Google voice control feature is typically helpful. However, for some reason, my 5x just does Google searches instead of executing voice commands.
For example, I'll say "OK Google", wait for the noise, and say "Send a text". Then, instead of sending a text, it will instead do a Google search for the phrase 'Send a text'. Any idea what's up with this, or how to fix it?

May be you can install Google now...

It is included and works well on custom nougat ROM.
Otherwise, check your settings for OK Google, it needs cards on, or update app ( Google search might help you )

This question may apply to all Android or just Sony.
Does anyone know how to take a photo with voice command/ voice recognition? I'm talking about actually taking the photo not just opening the Camera app like Google does (When you say "Ok Google" "Take a photo"). I know Samsung has the "Voice cmd for apps" feature in its settings which allows for this on Samsung devices but I can't find any setting like that on my Xperia XZ. Are there any Apps which can do this? Any way to program Google to do this? Any options at all?
You'd think that by now this would be a pretty common feature in voice recognition. I know I always find myself needing it when I'm using my other hand to hold something and take a picture of it or for similar circumstances. I think I've even used my mouth at some point to press the camera button on my phone.
Any help in regard to this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
