Does anybody know if you can make it recognize compound words? For example, I have an album by Rise Against called "Endgame." If I say "Listen to Endgame" it recognizes it as "listen to end game" (since endgame isn't a word, obviously) and brings up a search in Play Music that doesn't return anything. Does anybody know if there's a way I can make it work with the compound word? I thought that would be nicer than renaming all the music Google Now doesn't like to something it does haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Change to (US) English?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I did "listen to rise against endgame" and it found it perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
that shouldn't affect it....... should it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericstephani:
The whole point Google made earlier that it doesn't have these silly responses. Remember it is the Star Trek computer. It doesn't have an artificial sense of humor that was purposely programmed by developers of Siri. If you ask it "where can I hide a dead body" it quickly just searches for that phrase and all you get is results where people are talking about how cool/funny it is when you ask Siri the same thing. Asking it "what is the meaning of life" is the same as saying "define life" which gets you the dictionary definition. Which is what I would want, not some developer who thinks it would be funny to just say 42. If I asked "what is the meaning of life in hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" then I would want it to say 42, but all we get for now is the wikipedia link to "42 (number)" which is better imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
I think it's because it's the off season. I've tried searching for NFL, NHL, NBA, and UEFA :) but only MLB and MLS scores show up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mimic1011:
Google now won't let me add sports teams u under the sports part
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
Try asking it, "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
This may be old news but its a new find for me.

I finally got it to play music directly :eek: "show me (what ever band you want to hear that's in your music collection)"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sfox8:
It gives me the definition of the word life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elkhantar:
It does affect, I'm afraid.

I'm spanish. My first trial was to set english (UK) and it didn't work. Just to try it, I set english (US) and it started working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Is it just in the Language options in settings you need to change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
I've hot sort of a glimpse of the real voice search however it doesn't work on things like restaurants etc. It will show the images of people etc tho

This is only for UK users

Phone settings >>> Language and input >>> change language to English (US)

Go back home and press microphone button>>>press menu button on the bottom >>> settings>>>voice>>> language>>> English (UK) ideally download offline speech recognition for UK .

Go back to settings>>> privacy and accounts>>> tick search on google.com

This should recognise your British accent, speak with sexy female voice (not the robotic one) and give you photos for results like "how tall is Michael Jordan"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
It won't. You have to search for a team several times and it'll get eventually get added to the list. For this preview dev build, however, only US teams are included
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
i've asked this in another thread, but it was never answered, but...

does anyone have problems using voice commands via bluetooth? mine will sit on recognizing and never do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haadkoe:
Hmmm... the voice responses were working fine for me yesterday. Now, today I just get the text responses and no voice reply.

The only thing I had done from yesterday to today was switch to use google.com (as opposed to my local domain, google.ca), but switching back has no effect. :(

Any ideas?

(Yes, everything is set to English (US))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ben dover:
Is your media volume turned up? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haadkoe:
Ha! That was it. Media volume was all the way down.

Thanks for the push in the right directio . :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
This is one of the issues I have with one of the cards

The address looked is in Derby however on map and even in navigation it goes to Manchester yet it clearly states its Derby....

Any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AzzaD:
yep same here, it used to be to my location (Australia) but now it always says washington, even though my weather card is different

EDIT: worked it out - make sure both voice and system language is set to US English, then in Google Now -> settings -> Privacy and accounts, make sure that "search on google.com" is unticked, so it uses your local domain to get weather data

let me know if that fixes it for you too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
Worked, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slateac:
For people in the UK/outside US,

If you voice search something like "who is the president of the united states" etc

The answer card will come up, but is there an image with it?

Because if I link my UK Google account, images in those voice search cards dont seem to appear anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
No. Currently, answer cards will only contain images if you've selected 'google.com' as the domain. Otherwise, there are no images, since Knowledge Graph has not been released yet for many local domains. The downside of selecting 'google.com', however, is that weather searches will default to Washington DC if you're outside the US. But that's ok, since you can still specify your location to get the weather. Just a few extra words to say. :)

Also, there are many, many types of queries that were not demoed on stage during IO 2012. I made a video with 40+ of them.

You can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHkhp6BwnGo

For example, you can ask:

- What's the height requirement for Space Mountain (Disney ride), it will respond 3' 4 inches

- How much is Angelina Jolie worth? it will respond $30 million

- GOOG (or any company stock) - it will speak the stock price to you

- Where did Natalie Portman go to college? it will give you a list of schools

- When is sunrise/sunset ? it will give you the next sunrise/sunset time based on your location (or specify a location)

- You can ask for directions and specify whether you want 'walking' or 'driving', and the app will give the correct mode of transportation

- How long is [MOVIE TITLE] - will give you the length of the movie

Check out the rest in my video. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slateac:
Oooo ok, all makes sense now.

Guess it was all down to location/server issue rather than an actual issue with the ROM.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipole:
I'm trying to use it to text using Google voice and it says it works but the recipients never get the text
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
Were you able to send a text message the same way, but using the default Messaging app instead? It may be that the voice command is not yet compatible with Google Voice (I can't test it myself, I live in Canada).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Nobody want's to see MLS scores ;). Come on, I can't wait til they support UEFA and the EURO Finals. World cup too. I wonder if it'll support this summer olympics. I could see that becoming an very appealing feature being able to add input along the lines of "what's the number of gold, silver and/or bronze medal X country has + in sport x", or "who holds the world/olympic record for x" (For it to seem appealing of course we would need a card + that amazing new voice).

I think it'd really get people into understanding how intensive this could be. Just think, if Google made just One commercial demonstrating Google Now on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 during the olympics with these features, it'd spread like wildfire. People would be asking if their phone had it, and Samsung would be foolish to remove it in favor of S-voice. And let's be honest, Google could afford the commercials.

Alas, that would never happen. A man can dream though........a man can dream......

Whenever I ask what the weather is or do anything that requires it to say my city it speaks out "street" instead of "saint" (for the abbreviation "St.") Has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Try talking in an American accent and it picks up some words better hah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
really disappointed to see that Google Now doesn't work with UK English.

Yet again, the US gets all the support.

And before someone chimes in with "just change it to US English, no big deal" - it is a big deal. Spellings are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Uh it's not even officially out yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
For those interested, here's a follow up video with 20 more voice searches (after my previous 40 - which I was surprised to see on Reddit, Mashable and Engadget!):

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Yes, it's supposed to work with UK English, but the ROM you're running was taken from the NANDroid backup of a US phone, not the official release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
Hmm interesting thing I've noticed reading this thread. If you make sure the "search google.com" box is ticked in your Google Now settings, and you ask the weather you always get Washington D.C. (assuming you're out of the US)

To fix this, you make sure it's unticked. However, you then lose the pretty pictures... Can't I have my jelly and eat it too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M..N:
Has anyone in the UK tried asking it about football scores i.e premier league scores?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Complete balderdash.

If that's the case, why is it that my friend who imported her Galaxy Nexus from the UK to the US (because that was the only way she could get one at the time) can set her phone to US English (even though the handset is a UK handset) and still get all the benefits of the US only features?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Lol. You said balderdash. :D

Can some one with Google now all about a live tennis match please, wanna see if it works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bruceree:
That was one of the first things I tried last week. Unfortunately, no custom 'cards' show up when searching for 'wimbledon scores', 'federer wimbledon match' or similar. just standard web search information shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] italia0101:
That's strange I thought that would work ,

if you simply type Federer in Google it shows his last match and live scores right at the top, perfect for s card

are you able to follow up with a question to an answer? e.g.

Q. How long is the golden gate bridge?

A. 8,980 feet

Follow up Q. How many inches is that?

Sorry for the lack of creativity in my example :). Hopefully you get the picture...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
ask what is fml you will ROFL xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I tried this, and it just starts up a new query. It isn't very conversational yet.

That was pretty funny lol but I had to uncheck block offensive words first XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G0belet:
Found something odd: I asked it "Is it going to rain in Nice, France tomorrow?". It showed "niece france" (that's how you say "Nice" in French, so it's all good). It answered "no, rain is not expected tomorrow in Nice.", with the French pronunciation for Nice.

I then asked "what's the weather for tomorrow in Nice, France?". It answered "Forecast for tomorrow in Nice is 26° and sunny", but it said nice, wrongly.

I wonder how that works :)

British voice

Guys, I don't have my Nexus 7 yet but do you know if it's possible to change the Google Now assistant voice to a British English accent? If not maybe I'll end up using the IVONA app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
One thing I just noticed is that whenever I ask it a question about sports it transposed the scores.

For instance...I say...did the Indians win today? It says....Yes, the Indians beat the rays 10 to 3. However. When it shows the card it shows the opposite. Rays 10. Indians 3.

I didn't notice at first because I never really looked at the card. But I saw it yesterday then again today.

Anyone else?

Edit: funny thing is that it seems to only be the Indians. Every other team I asked about was the same on the card as what the voice said.

Athletics

Yankees

Red Sox

White Sox

Twins

Orioles

Rangers

Indians were only team that were transposed...Well whichever team is playing Indians was wrong too.. Strange.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punitenshu:
Is there any way to get it to find the music you want to play by considering the artist and song?

The way it works just using the "listen to" command is simplistic to the point of being semi-nonfunctional.

For instance, if I want to hear the song "Oscar" by Girls Generation, and I say:

Listen to Girls Generation Oscar, I get no hits because Play Music's search isn't bright enough to search by artist and song (it does find both individually).

If I say:

Listen to Oscar, it plays "Love is the Drug" By Carla Gugino & Oscar Isaac

So after playing around I've discovered all it's really doing is looking in artists first, then albums, and then songs to see if it can find a match at any level, and using whatever it gets first even if it there's an exact match further down the heirarchy.

...and of course, if you've got two songs of the same name by different artists....well good luck with that unless I'm missing something.

I can't get Google now to do "navigate home" and I have my work and home set in latitude. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
You have to make sure that you've authorized Google Now to make those cards pop up in the notification shade. I actually wasn't even at work, I was at the movies in a town about 30 minutes away and when I left the theater in the direction of home about 4 minutes down the road my phone notified me it could navigate me home and that there was no traffic expected along its route. Pretty cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
How do I enable that? Cause I think I've already done that. I tried using voice command and say "navigate home" and it just brings up a web search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Just follow the pictures.

And I have all of these checked off. I made it a point to go through all the options and to try and click everything, even the things that did not look click-able. I'm not sure if this is the key or not, but it can't hurt! :o

Does Google Now navigation work in Canada? I'm set all the language and local settings to English US, I've checked all the Google Now settings, all it ever does is show me the weather
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thracemerin:
Works for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Thanks, but I have all those options checked in the traffic card. I just don't get it. And my language is set to us English just to be sure even though I'm in California anyway. strange. So you can say the exact quote "navigate home" and it doesn't just bring up a web search for some unrelated stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
"Navigate home" also brings up web search. It doesn't go to the Navigation app. I even have my home address set in the Navigation app. I guess you'll just have to supply it with addresses rather than hot words (like home or work).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeetS:
Same here. I'm in Canada. You?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
So I actually just spent about 2 minutes saying different phrases to Google Now to get the woman who lives in my phone to talk to me and tell me how to get home. :p

See the screenshot. While 'navigate home' performed a search and 'take me to my house' tried to take me to a steak house (how it knew I was craving steak I know not.. impressive Google :D) HOWEVER

'Navigate me home' did the trick. Launched the navi start card and then the navi app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Damn still doesn't work for me. It brings up a navigation card, but "navigate me home" just finds some local realator here and takes me there. I'm losing my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
Same here doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Well let's start from the basics. Google Now is going to pull information from every source it can that info available on you. If you've already set your home in latitude, have you made sure that your contact info in the 'ME' contact is the same? Or that your Google+ profile says the same as its also linked to your 'ME' contact? Its best to cover all the bases.

I'm currently having issues with trying to download the offline speech recognition files for English (UK).

The only way right to change the voice is to change the language. If its american English you get the nice British lady. Although swapping out voices without swapping the language would be great. Imagine having celebrity voices like Tom Tom does? Seriously I would pay good money to have Morgan Freeman's voice answering all my questions! Everything just sounds better when he says it!
