Google Now in a recent update has added the ability to send messages.
And by ‘send message’ we don’t mean you can use the feature to open the
Hangouts app where you then have to type the message in. Google Now
supports voice commands for composing and sending message. When invoked,
an on-screen message box appears with the recipient you chose already
added. It then listens for the message and if correct, you can order it
to send the message. There is zero interaction involved with the screen.
Here’s how it works.
Say the magic words; Okay Google. When it starts listening, tell it
who you want to send a message to. The command is, ‘Send a message to
Mom’. Once the message box opens with the contact already entered, speak
your message and wait for Google Now to convert it to text, and add it
to the message.
It continues to listen if you want to add anything else to the
message. If you remain quiet for a while, Google Now asks if you are
ready to send the message. Saying ‘Send’ or ‘Send this message’ will
send the message.
Should the message fail to send for any reason, options to report a
problem, open the Hangouts app, or to try again appear on the screen.
These options, however, cannot be used with a voice command. Google
should consider adding support for the ‘Try Again’ option. This feature
works in Google Now v4.2.16.
