Let’s look at how to make it so that you can use Okay Google on a PC below.

Installation Okay Google

If everything is extremely simple with installation on a phone with the Android platform - in Google Play you need to press the appropriate button - it’s even easier on a computer!

A small note: Once you click on the “Download Chrome” button, a window will appear as shown in the image below.

There you can check or uncheck the box highlighted in red.

The item “Set Google Chrome as the default browser” will mean that this browser will become the main browser, that is, all links will be opened through it and all accounts will be recorded there.

If you mainly use another program for Internet surfing, it is better to uncheck this box.

The second item “Allow automatic sending of statistics...” means that all your data (sometimes passwords) will be sent to Google specialists.

If you don't want your personal information to be shared with Google employees, it's best to leave this box unchecked.

This is interesting: VWindows10 uses technology that allows employeesMicrosoft know everything about a particular user - his passwords, personal data, notes, browser history and much more. This was one of the reasons for its low popularityWindows10 on the market. As we see, in almost all modern popular services, the user can give administrators the opportunity to freely use his personal data, sometimes without knowing it, as in the case ofWindows10. But during installationGoogle Chromethis can be avoided.

After this, the browser will be installed.

• Step 3. You must check the box next to “Enable voice search by command...”.

After that, all you have to do is go to the Google search engine page, where you can see the inscription “Say “Okay Google.” You can safely speak into your microphone any phrase that interests you.

Settings

Just a few years ago, voice control was something fantastic for many users. Films and books have long used voice control, and real life the developers were unable to get anything worthwhile. But still, after a couple of years, voice control began to be used by millions of users from all over the world and now everyone supports it modern smartphones and Android tablets. As you know, it was Google that introduced into its smartphones the ability to control devices using voice; you can not only type texts, but also make calls, send messages and play music. What else can be done with voice control and whether it is necessary, read in today’s article.

Group I– the ability to control the functions of the device itself. Do you want to set an alarm, but without pressing the display even once? To do this, you just need to say the phrase “Wake me up at such and such a time.” Want to listen to music? You can say “Play playlist.” This also includes dialing functions, information about messages, calls, and more.

Group II– commands aimed at searching for any information. To get the result you need, you just need to connect to the Internet, after which, using a voice request, you can find out the weather outside, view the score of a match played, find the words of a song or find out who Ernest Hemingway is.

True, there are still some limitations that the developers are trying to correct. For example, you can find out the films that are shown in Moscow cinemas, since the city is large and this information is considered in demand, and if you want to do the same thing, but with a smaller city, you may end up with a lack of information, which, of course, is sad.

It is noteworthy that some voice control systems are capable of supporting text input, both regular and thanks to translators. However, you should understand that it will be difficult to recognize a long sentence and you can end up with a real “mess of words,” so try to pronounce them by breaking them down into short phrases. The situation is exactly the same with commands, but in most cases they are short.

10 Voice Control Features for Google Now:

1. Setting reminders, for example: “Remind me to call Alexander on Monday.”
2. Creating events in the calendar, for example: “Calendar, watch the match of your favorite team at 21-30.”
3. Open required applications, for example: “Open Google Keep.”
4. Dial the number of a specific subscriber by name or degree of relationship, for example: “Call Alexander” or “Call your sister.”
5. Play movies and music purchased on Google Play, for example: “Watch “The Hobbit”” or listen to “Bitter Mist.”
6. Find out the route from the place where you are now to the final destination, for example: “Routes, Vladimir, Bolshaya Moskovskaya, 13.”
7. Find out the city in which certain attractions are located, for example: “Where is the Golden Gate.”
8. Find out the weather in the city, for example: “Weather in Vladimir on Saturday.”
9. Find out the meaning of words, for example: “What is “genetics””?
10. Search for photographs of places, attractions, etc. that interest you, for example: “Photos of Old Trafford.”

First of all, you don't have to do anything with your hands. If people who don’t want to click on small application icons and go somewhere to launch, for example, a calendar, while others are driving and, to protect themselves, type a message using their voice.

Secondly, some people want to talk always and everywhere, a smartphone can become an excellent conversationalist, although more like an encyclopedia, but still, this is not a cat or a dog that will be happy with you and nothing more.

Thirdly, there are situations when the smartphone function needs to be turned on from a distance. For example, you can take a photo by turning on the front camera and take a photo of yourself. Or (if you have a tripod) install your smartphone on the tripod, launch the camera and simply give a voice command. There is nothing complicated, and the photo is of high quality.

Back in 2011, voice Siri assistant was integrated into the iOS operating system, which marks the beginning of the use of this assistant in the iPhone 4S and subsequent generations of smartphones. This technology There is room for improvement, in particular, Apple still hasn’t taught Siri to respond normally and understand the Russian language, but the function is in demand and is constantly being developed by adding something new.

Previously, everyone thought that Siri would come with Android devices, but once Apple acquired this technology, all plans remained just plans.

Nowadays, voice control is actively used not only among young people, but also among wealthy adults, and this is facilitated by a huge set of applications that allow you to give commands to your device using your voice.

Smartphones with pre-installed operating system Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has a built-in Google service Now is an assistant that can do all of the above. In fairness, it is worth noting that the program does all actions taking into account your current location, history search queries, application launches, etc. actions, which allows the assistant to learn. To take any action, you just need to turn on the Internet, launch Google Now and say the phrase “Okay, Google” or simply click on the microphone icon next to the search bar.

It is noteworthy that Google Now received the Russian language only at the end of 2013, so now you can ask questions and commands in our native language without any problems. Once again I will repeat with the help this application you can: call the desired subscriber, write SMS messages, set reminders, alarms, launch programs (games), take photos, find out any information, get directions and much more.

There are a huge number of applications with similar functionality, but they were forgotten exactly at the moment when Google Now began to understand the Russian language. In any case, you can install any voice application, for example, Assistant and check its functionality by comparing it with Google Now, besides, most programs work with Android OS versions below 4.1.

While looking through the next push notifications about available updates, I accidentally opened the Google Now application, looked at the description on the market, and decided to dig into this wonder. For the first half an hour, I kept walking around the apartment, constantly repeating, “Okay Google, how did Rostov play?”, “Okay Google, what’s the weather forecast for tomorrow?”, “Okay Google, wake me up tomorrow at 8 am ”, etc. My Nexus 7 understood me perfectly, despite the fact that sometimes for the test I sometimes slightly distorted the trigger phrase “Okay Google”.

1) Work and time management

As you can see, our green robot is becoming smarter from update to update, and is capable of solving more and more problems; you’ll soon be able to clean the house and cook dinner :)
