Google Now allows you to send messages using some of your favorite messaging apps on your Android by simply talking to it, just like you can already do to send quick emails, Hangouts or text messages. But, of course, you can still have the choice to pick SMS, Hangouts, or email.
This works globally in English, but stay tuned for updates soon
You’ll be able to do this work globally in English initially and Google is working to add more apps and languages in the future.
You can already say things like this with the Google app on your Android.
“Ok Google, send a text to Taylor: I’ll be in town for the weekend, want to meet up?”
The same way now you can ask Google all your questions by voice on your phone. You can do the same work with some popular messaging apps like Whatsapp.
You can do this action in a single step or in 2 steps.
Just say,
“Ok Google, send a WhatsApp message to Joe”
After which you’ll get a prompt asking you to dictate your message.
Or, you can do it all in one step:
“Ok Google, send a Viber message to Josh: let’s do dinner tomorrow night.”
In addition to WhatsApp and Viber, you can send voice messages via WeChat, Telegram and NextPlus. But it works, if you have the latest version of both the messaging and the Google app.Also just make sure you have switched on voice settings to recognize the keyword “OkGoogle”.
So type less and speak more—your thumbs will thank you.
