Re: Google Assistant with voiceover?

2018-03-17 Thread Harry Bell 
Actually, this is pretty much achievable in some respects. I have set the iOS 
Google app to listen for “ok, google”. With the app switcher completely 
cleared, if I use Siri to launch Google Assistant, I can say “ok, google” and 
then voiceover reads out “open mic button” and reads out a random web search 
result. But if I follow this up with the question I want to ask (e.g. “when is 
Easter this year?”, the answer is read out to me. It is easier, of course, to 
use Siri unless you are heavily into google apps...

Hi all,
do you know if you can get the assistant on your phone to work the same as the 
stand alone device? That is not to have to tap the microphone or at least have 
google read the results back to you rather than have to scroll down the answers 
and have voice over read them?

You can also do a two-finger double-tap to have Assistant start listening. I 
think you have to do that tap again to stop listening, though.
