Voice Actions
Voice Actions are supported only in English, French, German,
Spanish, and Italian.
You can use Voice Actions to perform common tasks, such as
sending an email or opening an app.
After touching the
Microphone icon or saying “Ok Google,”
speak the Voice Action you want to use. Or say “help” to see ex-
amples of the kinds of things you can tell Google to do for you.
Examples include:
• “Set alarm for 8:30 a.m.”
• “Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight? Mes-
sage: Hope to see you later.”
• “Navigate to Mike’s Bikes in Palo Alto.”
For a list of Voice Actions you can try, visit Voice Action
commands.
