Ok so after I noticed more and more people are using Voice Search I defiantly needed to check everything out myself. As you know Google uses...well "Ok Google" and IOS are using Siri.
Both "virtual assistants" are really good but I only used Android on the long run so I'm going to focus on Google Now app.
I can search stuff in Romanian, Google Now understand the language but it doesn't yet speak it or understands Romanian based commands. So I have to use English.
Maybe is my accent or something but I never manage to turn on Google Now in the first try. I always have to repeat at least a second time "Ok Google!" and apparently yelling at the phone doesn't happen.
I'm also struggling on memorizing all the commands. Some are pretty simple and I do use them such as: Open a certain app, Set alarm for, Note to self.
The most used command is the "Call" command, especially when I'm driving. All I need to say is " Ok Google, Call Waifu" and its calls my wife, all I have to do is turn the speaker on, though I would like a way for Google to do that for me, I don't really want to touch the phone when I'm driving, that's the whole point of a voice command. If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know!
Other cool commands I use: "Who is"; "How old is"; "Show me pictures of"; " Show me nearby attractions".
Are you using Google Now? What commands to you used the most?

Maybe I was doing it wrong but I can't see that working well for me. I am interested in the call option so maybe I will try an Ok Google Command for that and see how it works.
Maybe it is not your accent because I am English and it was a mess. Yes I also have an accent but I do think I pronounce things properly. Surely Google must account for the different English accents? I tried using verbal search a few days ago just for fun and let's just say that from what I experienced there it just did not work at all.
