Android Voice Commands - Android Voice Actions Basics

Android Voice Commands and Android Voice Actions basics http://www.usemydroid.com/android-voice-commands/ are covered in this introduction video to a series on Android Voice Commands (officially known as Android Voice Actions).

Did you know you can talk to your Droid Phone and it will Do Stuff for you? The way you make that work is you activate what are commonly called Android Voice Commands.

This intro video will give a quick overview on how these Voice Commands work on your phone and what the basic commands are. We will have follow-up videos that go into detail on many of the Voice Commands / Voice Actions as there are a fair amount of details for each one.

If the Android Voice Actions or Commands are not working on your Android Phone, let us know in the comments as we have a fix that could help. Most Droid phones should already be updated with the fix, but yours may need some help. Let us know and we'll help you make it work on your phone.

Also, in the comments below, let us know which of the Android Voice Commands you want us to cover as we are pulling together the follow-up series of videos now.

When I try to send a text it puts leaves the recipient field blank but instead puts "to (name of recipient) (message)" in the message fields. Please help me!

@TheMeHS Yup... this is a common problem. You may need to sync your "contacts" or look through our tip #7 on the website (usemydroid [dot] com) - be sure to look at some of the more recent comments.

Is there a way to activate the voice command window without having to pick up the phone. For example pressing a button on a headset or bluetooth and then telling the phone to "Call Ryan cell". This would make my smartphone a drivers best friend and save me a ticket. I also want to open apps in the same way, like "tune in" for AM and FM radio so I'm never stuck in a 3 hour traffic jam again.

@netook8 I believe that some headsets have a button that you can press that activates the Voice Commands function on the phone... couldn't tell you which ones have it though.
