These are the new voice commands for the Google Now assistant
In mid-2012 Google launched the Google Now voice assistant, a feature that was implemented in the update Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and that allows us to control certain aspects of our smartphone or tablet only using our voice. But this system also acts as a kind of virtual butler because it offers us information of interest without us even having to ask for it, it learns from our routine and gives us what we need at all times.Google Now has not stopped updating since its arrival and its latest version, coinciding with the launch of Android 4.4 KitKat, is loaded with improvements. The blog PhoneBuff has created a very educational video showing up to 50 commands accepted byGoogle Now,a quick way to discover all the possibilities of this interesting assistant.
In the video we see a Nexus 5 with Andrid 4.4 KitKat, but it is not necessary to have the latest version of the platform, the only thing All you need is to have the Google Now application updated (Google search) to be able to count on all these improvements. The new assistant can be woken up by saying “OK Google” , and then told our request, which in this case is “How Do I have the agenda?» . The device shows the upcoming events that we have saved in the calendar, it even reads the title and the time at which they have been established.Another command that attracts attention is the location of shipments that we can find out by simply asking "Where is my package?" , although we assume that previously we will have to have carried out the procedure through some system application such as Amazon Continuing with the review that it does video, it is also possible to send text messages or emails to any of our contacts quickly.
Google Now offers the ability to save reminders based on the location, for example “buy bread after work” . This and other features were already known by Siri, Apple's assistant, but it must be said that Google Now's response is very fast and works better in terms of to Internet search (note that it is a creation of Google).Consult the result of our favorite soccer team, search for definitions, doubts about vocabulary, geographic information, photos of monuments, send tweets or open applications are just other functions offered by this complete system. In addition, Google Now will be able to solve the doubts of moviegoers and seriesgoers who want to know which channel to broadcast their favorite series or who are the actors who appear in the last movie they saw in the cinema -which by the way will also be able to know the next sessions of the nearest theaters.
As we said Google Now brings these and other news in the latest update available for free in the store Google Play Voice assistants offer more dynamic usage options and allow us to interact differently with our smartphones.
