Google Now is a gateway to the main Google search engine, so you can ask your beloved digital assistant almost anything you would look there: height Eiffel Tower, how many inches are 6 centimeters or what’s on your agenda. But that’s not all, here are nine more useful commands
http:. //es.gizmodo.com/9-aplicaciones …
Note that these commands only work with the latest version of Google Now Android. The, smaller version, which is available for iPhone does not have the same level of integration with the system so that in such cases it is better to use Siri.
1. Turn on and off Bluetooth.
Google Now can adjust certain key elements of your phone including WiFi and Bluetooth. If you say “turn off wifi” or “turn on wifi” you will see as a shortcut to the action appears automatically running this (you can also do it manually by clicking on it. With the Bluetooth works the same way.
2. On or off the torch
The function flashlight in your phone can be activated and deactivated in the same way: just say “turn on flashlight” or “flashlight off” and the application of Google Now will do it for you Especially useful in those situations. you find yourself looking for the phone in a darkened room.
3. Read your posts
When you ask Google Now “Read My Messages” or “show me my messages “, your last 5 SMS onscreen, successive voice commands can cause the phone to read them aloud or answer them also using the voice. A very useful feature when you are driving.
4 Launch applications
You can use voice control to launch Google Now also for almost any application. Just say “Open …” followed by the name of the app. We’ve tried to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and Spotify. Powered by web pages as well, but the URL in question should be easy to pronounce.
5. Play music
The command to play music automatically interpreted as the command “I’m feeling lucky” of Google Play Music, and jumps to a playlist created by the system based on what you’ve heard before. You can tell Google also “Playing music on …” and then select the app in question (Spotify, for example) , but playback does not start automatically.
6. Call and send SMS to your contacts
Say “Call …” or “Send a message to …” followed by the name of your contacts can be used to quickly contact someone. You can even dictate the entire message via voice, if you like. The “Call …” option works even for the browser version of Google.
7. Set alarms
If you tell Google “Put an alarm at … “Then an alarm will be set without having to do anything else. Some own settings (such as the alarm tone) can not be established, but also is useful.
8. Change the brightness and volume
Unfortunately, you can not change the brightness and volume directly, but can instead to jump to the page corresponding adjustments mentioning anything having to do with them (“mute phone” or “turn down the brightness “for example). This is certainly an area where we still need a little more polish.
9. Taking pictures and videos
You can use the command” Open Camera “to launch this app, or “record a video” to do the same but directly in video mode. “Take Photo” results in a list of applications that are capable of capturing image (the developer needs to enable it individually because in our tests snapchat did appear as an option, for example, but not Instagram)
