Google Assistant has become one of the best devices of our lives, as it allows us to interact with our smartphones while we are not touching them. But if I want to use it that way, I have to say "Hey Google" to Google Assistant to start listening to me. And, I have to bring it myself. "Hey Google" is the keyword the assistant uses to find out if someone is talking. Sometimes, though, "Hey Google" is too many words for things like snatching your alarm, so Google may soon add "voice shortcuts" for Google Assistant, which is apparently internally called Guacamole.
Voice shortcuts are a very
short command that will allow you to say "OK Google" for tasks such
as stopping an alarm or answering a call. Right now, the feature is not live,
but we managed to show it in the settings of the Google app, as did AndroidPolice and 9to5Google. Not that we were able to do anything with the feature's
toggle, though, and neither of the other two sites could, because it doesn't
work yet: the app tells you that by actually turning First you should read some
terms and conditions. Feature on, but the link to those terms and conditions is
broken, and the toggle does nothing when you turn it on.
Ultimately, however, Google
may plan to introduce this feature to Google Assistant during Google I / O
2021, which will be inspired by the free-for-all and free-running COVID-19
epidemic this year. Therefore, this apparently incomplete facility cannot be
made available by accident. We will probably learn more about this feature
soon. Before it expires, Google can add or remove functionality or end up
altogether - we don't really know at this stage.
