One of the most interesting and fun features available on Android is the Google Assistant. Through voice commands, it is possible to interact with the artificial intelligence incorporated into the operating system and perform a series of actions much faster.
The secret is learning how to talk to Google. Some commands, such as setting alarms and reminders, are better known, but did you know that there are more than a hundred possibilities to be explored? Check out this article for no less than 300 Google Assistant voice commands for you to explore. But first, find out what needs to be done so that the software can recognize your voice.
How to teach Google Assistant to recognize your voice
