Using S Voice
- When you launch S Voice, the device starts voice recognition and the microphone icon turns red.
- Say a voice command.
- If you say a command and the device recognises it, the microphone icon at the bottom of the screen flashes green. Then, the device performs the command.
Tips for better voice recognition:
- Speak clearly.
- Speak in quiet places.
- Do not use offensive or slang words.
- Avoid speaking in dialectal accents.
The device may not recognise your commands or may perform unwanted commands depending on your surroundings or how you speak.
Waking up S Voice in standby mode
- If S Voice is not used for a certain period, it automatically switches to standby mode. Tap the microphone icon or say Hi Galaxy to the device to resume voice recognition.
Changing the wake-up command
You can change the wake-up command from Hi Galaxy. The wake-up command is used to launch S Voice when the device is in standby mode.
- Tap Menu icon > Settings > Wake-up > Voice wake-up > Set wake-up command.
Disabling voice feedback
- Tap Menu icon > Disable voice prompt. The device stops providing voice feedback when you say commands.
Correcting unwanted voice commands
- You can edit the voice commands if the device does not recognise them correctly.
- To correct a voice command, tap the last speech bubble that contains your spoken text and edit the text with the keyboard.
