Google Search updated with voice actions for image & video capture

Advertisements

Google has released an updated version of Google Search app for Android, which brings two new voice actions. These new voice commands allow users to open the camera app for image capture or video recording directly from Search app.

Just say Ok Google and then “Take a picture” or “Take a video” to perform these tasks. No need to run around in app drawer looking for the camera app because you don’t want to miss the decisive moment.

“The first home run in T-ball, the surprise proposal, or just that gorgeous sunset… Sometimes the perfect photo passes you by as you fumble with your phone to open the camera app. Now with the Google Search App on Android, you can just tap the microphone or say “Ok Google,” then “take a photo” or “take a video.” Google will launch your camera app in the preferred mode. So update your app, snap those shots and don’t forget to show off your beautiful photos!,” Google noted in a Google+ post.
