Google’s Voice Access gives Android users hands-free control
Google has been working on an accessibility product that lets Android users control their device using only their voice. It has been in beta for two years but Google is now releasing the app globally. Called Voice Access, it allows users to write text, talk to the Google Assistant and navigate through apps using voice commands, and it also offers more fine-grained control than you might expect, like being able to "click" buttons and other controls within an app, for example.
Google's Voice Access goes live in beta form
Google quietly rolled out the beta version of its hands-free Voice Access service, allowing some lucky users to control their phones via speech alone. With Voice Access, users can say things like "go home," "scroll down" or "open Chrome" to navigate their pocket computers. Voice Access also allows users to say numbers instead of naming apps, avoiding potential confusion over pronunciation. Applications to test out Voice Access are closed for now, but the beta suggests there will be a public rollout in the near future.
