what's up guys david here from pump up calm and in this video we're doing a review slash how-to on The Voice Actions feature that comes with Android so everybody in the comparison between voice Actions and Windows Phones tell me and of course the iPhone Siri but in this video I just want to go more in depth as far as what voice Actions brings to the table and some of the different features offers so first I want to talk about the things that are directly related to voice Actions within the phone itself not Google searches without doing the second half so let's show you a few examples of The Voice Actions features and then of course the Google searches which really expands the functionality so the first thing I'll do is show you an example of how you can navigate with voice items so navigate to Del Taco you just give it the phone that command and you can see it has this little loading icon right here that's only because a wants to give you a chance to hit cancel if it got it wrong but I could just tap on the nearest el taco and it automatically give me directions to that del taco so actually let me close out of that because it'll bother me later in the video so hit exit alright so another example I'll just do a text message to somebody so send text to Google search what are you doing today and as you can see it's sending a text to Google search which is in my phone book and right here it got my message correctly I can just hit Send if I want cancel if I don't last feature that I'll go over is making a call so will this call let's say my barbershop call barber shop there you go it's calling my barber shop so if I hit dial I can just bypass this waiting time hit cancel if I don't want it otherwise it'll automatically go to it so at home and now I really want to go over to things that you know I feel like really separate voice actions from at least tell me because tell me has a lot of these functions but it brings it closer to Siri and that's using Google search so for example you can do math questions are equations with your voice so exam four sample 15 times 2/3 times 4 so you can see there's a Google search as usual but at the top you have an answer and the answer is 40 you can see it wasn't necessarily the most simple problem that I gave it it's kind of complicated and it still got it you know you can do square roots you can do cosine and all that stuff so pretty cool of course you want to do a tip you say 15% of you know 30 bucks whatever your bill is and you could get that another future is you could answer that question such as when was Martin Luther King born and again it does a Google search but at the very top and big bold letters do you get the answer so really quick way of getting to information without having to type anything it's very accurate with the voice on if it's not sure it'll just give you a few suggestions as far as what it things said and you can just tap on it another example is let's say I wanted to show a friend a picture of the Xbox because they've never heard of it somehow so I could just say picture of Xbox 360 and you can see it doesn't Google search for it and I've got all these pictures right away without having to you know type it in myself hitting the Images tab and whatnot I just have it right right here at the front screen so very quick way of doing things let's do a couple of more examples so the first one I'll do is the weather weather and as you can see I just said weather because I do have my location enabled on my phone it's automatically able to check I'm in Laguna Hills and it gives me the weather if I wanted to do movie show times movie show times I could do the same thing without actually having to say what city or state I'm in because it knows my location and it knows right here these are the theaters are close to me I can just tap on the show time I want and you know go from there so pretty cool if you don't have the location enabled just say you know show times and in your city so for me it be show times look in the Hills another example is you could actually do translations right from here so for example say I wanted to know how to say hello in I could just say translate to Spanish hello and at the very top it says hello is Ola so again another cool function that actually replaces my translating app and speaking of apps that Voice Actions could actually replace will do the dictionary too so define dog and you can see at the very top it has my definition and it's not just the definition it's actually interactive where I can tap on this little icon right here and actually get the enunciation so so you can see you know it's full-featured it pretty much replaces my need for having a dictionary app on my phone and it's definitely a lot quicker than you know opening up my dictionary app but those are you know the few examples that I I'll go over I mean if you want more just hit the links in the description box below go to phonebook
