Voice recognition from Bluetooth-headset on AndroidIn this article, we will tell about the voice commands for Android Bluetooth headset. We will show how to activate this function, discuss the pros and cons of this method.

Pros

Let us tell you about the strengths of this method. If you use a normal voice input, it is necessary to say all the commands close to your phone, because the system needs to hear your voice clearly and distinctly. This method may be inconvenient in certain situations. The situation can be corrected if you connect a Bluetooth headset and pronounce commands using it. You will be able to hold a smartphone in your hands.

In addition, commands such as “OK, Google, set the alarm for 7 am” do not require the participation of the smartphone. It will be enough to make sure that the headset is within range of the radio module and to activate the “Recognition from all applications”.

Cons

The weaknesses include the fast discharge of your headset, since it is active almost all the time, waiting for a new “OK, Google” command. Also, when “From any screen” mode is enabled, almost all devices have problems with the camera. When recording video, you can see the message “Microphone is busy” and it is impossible to play the video. In such a case, it is necessary to disable the speech recognition method.

Instruction

If you don’t mind all the advantages and disadvantages, you can proceed to settings.

  1. In the device menu, find and run the «Google» application.
