Already our current system of voice commands is pretty impressive. Well, if the Enterprise wasn’t experiencing weird glitches at the time (that happened a lot, didn’t it). In Star Trek, characters could ask the computer any question and get a helpful response. Google will have to do at least as good if it wants to compete. Siri comes close but has its limitations. Ideally we’d have programs that can completely handle natural speaking. It’s unclear at this point if the Google voice-actions have to use the exact words listed above, or if there’s some flexibility. “Find food” and “locate a restaurant” are generally going to get the same result. Part of what makes Siri on the iphone so helpful is that it can handle a variety of phrases in reference to the same command. Ultimately I would also want voice actions to be used in other applications, if for no other reason that I want to defeat my chess app by saying cool things like “knight to king’s four”. It would also be nice to be able to pull up photo albums or favorite videos so that you could share these quickly with friends. Can you set your calendar? That would be pretty important for those who want to leave themselves quick reminders about events. Looking at the above list, there are some functions that Google’s left out. It’s unclear if the “set alarm” command seen in the video (~1:38) is available at the moment and/or if it was merely forgotten by the blog. Even though it just launched, it’s pretty clear that Google’s new voice commands are going to be a hit:įor the record, the actual list of possible commands as described on the Google Mobile Blog are as follows: The speech recognition quality there is at least as good as Siri (better for names, perhaps, but that may be due to my accent). While I’m not able to test drive the voice-actions, I do use Google’s Mobile App which enables voice based searches. With the updated Voice Search, Google is showing that it won’t be outdone. Apple made a smart move purchasing Siri (for $200 Million?) and the sooner they port the Siri capabilities into the iPhone OS the better. I have an iPhone and I’m pretty fond of Siri, the personal assistant application that uses voice commands.

If you’re an US English speaker with an Adroid 2.2 (Froyo) phone you can download it right now. Check out the demonstration video for voice-actions below. Not only are the available actions comprehensive, the actual speech recognition quality seems really top notch. It’s a pretty impressive list of actions to have at your fingertips lips. Text messages, emails, web searches, music, alarms, personal messages, maps, and calls can now all be accessed with voice commands. Their Voice Search application now features ‘voice-actions’ which allow the user to perform a variety of tasks on their phone just by speaking.
