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 the search bar 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 per-

form. For more details on Voice Actions, see “Use Voice Actions”

on page 37.

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”

on page 37 and ”Voice Actions commands” on page 38.

Search by typing

Type your query in the search box on the Home or Google Now

screen, or in Google Chrome’s omnibox.
