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”,

for you.
Examples include:

• “Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight?
Message: Hope to see you later.”
• “Navigate to Mike’s Bikes in Dover.”
