Google Voice Actions – Another Superb Freebie from Google

Google has just announced Google Voice Actions, an add-on for Google Search by Voice for Android FroYo 2.2. This adds yet another great piece of technology to the already stunning Android portfolio. So what is Google Voice Actions? Well the video below gives a run through of its features.

Basically, Voice Actions lets you give instructions to your device by voice. It does require Android 2.2 FroYo (or higher) to work. With Google Voice Actions, you will be able to tell your device to:

    • Send text messages
    • Listen to music
    • Get directions
    • Call businesses
    • Call contacts
    • Send email
    • View a map
    • Go to websites
    • Write a note
    • Search Google

Currently the HTC Desire (and Nexus One) are the only devices available with Android 2.2 FroYo in the UK. However, updates are on the way for the Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Legend and other devices.
