Google Now Voice Commands

[D-U-R-X]

For anyone using the recently released Google Now Launcher, there are 60+ voice commands that you might find useful...

It's also possible to say "Google" and "help" - your device should then display the list too

"How much wood could a woodchuck...", "make me a sandwich" and "Who are you" are good... "Beam me up Scotty" is Awesome!

Also, "When am I?"

"What is the tip..." Yeah, I can see people doing THAT in front of the server, or ANYWHERE in the establishment...

You can also perform the same queries by typing the words instead of speaking them, so there's no issue there. :thumbup:

Point taken, but considering the topic is VOICE commands my concern/comment is valid.

Another command not fully illustrated above is "open [program name]" (for example "open gmail"). It brings up a link to launch the program. Sometimes that's handier than going to desktop or app drawer to launch the program.

For laughs, it will also calculate Bacon numbers of Hollywood actors/actresses. Another great Easter Egg is "What's the answer to life, the universe and everything"

Not really an Easter egg, it's just performing a Google search.

If you ask it in the right way, it will voice answer with 42 rather than performing a search.

Or it may answer with cool your jets as the assistant app does
