You can simply say words you want to search for, or you can use the techniques

on page 88.

When you’re finished speaking, Voice Search analyzes your speech and Browser

page 219.

If you have the

settings, local results are featured in your search results (see “Changing Google
Search settings” on page 84).

If Google Search didn’t understand what you said, it presents a list of similar-

action.

Some Voice Actions open another application, where you’re prompted to
confirm and complete the action, for example, sending messages opens Gmail
and setting an alarm opens Clock.
