When it comes to talking about the Samsung Galaxy S II we have dedicated ourselves to remembering how light, thin and powerful it is. But not only hardware does this interesting touch phone live (possibly the most complete and attractive that can be obtained today on the market), but it also comes equipped with some functions such as controlling the operation of the terminal with voice commands.
If you are or have been a user of the first generation Samsung Galaxy S, this may not sound like new to you, but it is. It is true that with the high-end Samsung of 2010 you could write dictated messages, but with the Samsung Galaxy S II, this option is extended to literally give orders to the phone to be able to handle it without touching the terminal more than once.
Voice control is activated by quickly tapping on the home button of the Samsung Galaxy S II. At that moment, a secondary interface opens, while a voice asks us through the phone's speaker what we want to do. At that time, six will be our options.
The initial commands focus on calling, dictating text messages, searching for geolocated points on Google Maps, launching the music player, writing a note or directly activating the driving mode. Actually, this last option leaves the previous five open, also activating the phone's hands-free, although in this case, it requires a simple touch on the screen to launch the automatic order mode again.
In essence, the five modes work in a similar way. It involves combining a string of words that the Samsung Galaxy S II will interpret as part of an order. Thus, when we say “Call” and add an entry from the phonebook, the system will start the call function, leaving the phone's hands-free open. If we launch this option with the second command, that of the messages, the command must be somewhat more complex, but also more complete for that reason.
When we want to send a message, the sequence will be "Send message to" followed by the contact and, after a very brief silence, we then dictate the text we want to send. If we execute the order correctly (the system works quite well, by the way, as long as we do not have our contacts baptized with pseudonyms that are difficult to pronounce), the application will read the message to us and confirm if the recipient is correct. In case everything goes well, by saying " Accept" we can launch the SMS. If we back down or something is not correct, just the "Cancel" command to start over.
The recognition system for navigation is not too far from the previous two. In this case, to launch this function from the beginning of the application, we will have to issue the command "Go to" followed by the place where we want the system to take us. If our order is not followed by the destination city, the application will interpret the closest place within the same urban nucleus where we are, using Google Maps Navigation for this .
When we stop in the music function, the voice recognizer will simply launch the multimedia player, so that unless we have the Samsung Galaxy S II paired with another hands-free system, we will have to touch the mobile screen to navigate between options. Of course: once we issue the command "Music", the system will start the last track that we have played with the mobile application.
Regarding the fifth point, the one that appears laconically baptized as "Memo", serves to write text notes that we can read later, very useful if we are forgetful and need to have an agenda that reminds us of our tasks. Just tell the Samsung Galaxy S II “Memo” (don't worry, he won't be offended) so that it will then ask you to dictate the text to be recorded. Once you finish it, as in the case of the SMS message, it will repeat what you have said. If everything is correct, you can save the note. If you back down, just say "Cancel"to return to the initial screen. And if you prefer to repeat the note, a new command will allow you to restart the dictation. That simple
