Google Now, Android’s cool voice partner won’t not be as friendly as Siri or Cortana but rather it’s significantly more functional. While Google Now supports a plenty of voice orders, we have been needing a feature that lets one add custom voice charges to it. Because of Android’s adaptability, adding custom voice commands to Google Now is possible. There are two or three outsider applications that let you do this.
[ad type=”banner”]Before you begin, you will require the Tasker application for the procedure. Tasker is accessible for $2.99 on the Play Store yet you can simply ahead and download the free 7-day trial from Tasker’s official site. The trial is accessible as an APK file, so you should sideload it on your Android smartphone.
Likewise, you can utilize either the Commandr or AutoVoice application to get this usefulness. It’s vital to note however, that Commandr is accessible for nothing and brings its own particular arrangement of implicit commands, while AutoVoice is a paid application ($1.34) accessible for a free 7-day trial form too.
We used the Commandr app but you can try out both the apps and decide accordingly. The steps to add a custom commands is more or less the same on both the apps, so that shouldn’t be a problem.So, after you have install both Tasker and Commandr on your device.
Open Tasker and firstly, go to the app “Preferences” and make sure to disable “Beginner mode” in the UI tab and enable “Allow external access” in the Misc tab.
Then, go to Tasker’s home page in the Profiles tab, hit the Plus button in the bottom bar and select “Event“.
Among the Event Categories, select “Plugin” and then, select Commandr or AutoVoice, whichever one you are using.
Once the event is created, tap the Edit button beside the Configuration heading and enter the text you want to use for the voice command and press “Done“.
After the text is entered, go back and Tasker will automatically prompt you to enter a new task name. Use any task name like “Entertain Me Task” and tap the tick button.
Then, hit the plus button at the bottom pane to add an action to the task. You can then choose among various actions for your voice command. For instance, you can select “App” and you can then decide to launch an app, kill an app, list all the apps and more. Select any of the actions and other options and press back.
This will create the task on Tasker but you will have to configure Commandr before you can start using it. Here’s how to set it up:
When you first open up Commandr, you will be prompted to enable the app in the Accessibility settings. Just tap on “Open Settings” or go to Settings->Accessibility and enable Commandr. Also, make sure to enable Tasker app.
Note: On the off chance that you are utilizing AutoVoice, you should empower the application in Accessibility too. Likewise, remember that empowering these applications in Accessibility gives them access to your Google look data. Notwithstanding, Commandr says that this data is not put away but rather in the event that you disapprove of it, you can utilize the restricted adaptation. The limited variant of Commandr obliges you to state “Note to Self” before each command.
Once done, the main page of the app will open up. You can then configure the built-in commands you want to turn on or off in the “Built-in Commands option”. There’s also an option to vote for the commands you want to see.
You can even turn on/off custom commands you just added in Tasker.
Note: There are different charges like Enable/Disable Airplane mode, clear notices and that’s just the beginning, which require root get to. On the off chance that you do have root get to, you can likewise empower “Xposed” to utilize Commandr without saying “take a note” before the order on Android Wear.
To include more custom voice orders, you can utilize the previously mentioned procedure to make assignments utilizing Commandr or AutoVoice in Tasker. All things considered, that is all you have to do to add voice charges to Google Now on Android.
