How To: Use Your Android Phone Without Ever Touching It

How To: Use Your Android Phone Without Ever Touching It
Google has been working on its voice recognition technology ever since the days when you had to call a phone number with a Silicon Valley area code to dictate your query. As you can imagine, things have come a long way in the decade or so that has passed, to the point where we talk to our phones as if they were a person nowadays.Google Voice Search—colloquially referred to as "Google Now"—can already be used to toggle system settings on Android, but a beta app from the Mountain View search giant has taken this concept to the next level. Users can simply install this app, then control every aspect of their devices without even touching the screen.

Google's 'Voice Access' App ExplainedGoogle's app is called "Voice Access," and while it's currently in its beta testing phase right now, it already works amazingly well. The gist of things is rather simple—with Voice Access enabled, you'll see small number badges on top of any pressable button on your screen. Just say the number that corresponds with the button you'd like to press, and Voice Access will automatically tap it for you. There's no need to say "OK Google" before issuing a voice command, as Voice Access is always listening while it's enabled. Additional commands like "Scroll down," or "Go home" are available, so navigating any interface with your voice is a breeze.Right now, it may seem like a proof of concept or just a unique app that might be fun to tinker with, but Voice Access may very well prove to be quite useful. For instance, pairing this with Chromecast's screen mirroring feature could make for a fluid experience when giving presentations, and Voice Access seems like it would be the perfect companion for following online recipes when your hands are covered with dough. Finally, let's not ignore the potential for use in VR.

How to Get 'Voice Access' Right NowThe beta testing phase has closed for Voice Access, but thanks to APK Mirror, you can sideload the app on your phone right now.Download the Voice Access 1.01 beta With Voice Access installed, take a quick trip to your phone or tablet's main Settings menu. From there, head to the Accessibility submenu, then select the "Voice Access" option. Finally, enable the accessibility plugin for Voice Access by toggling the switch at the top of the screen, then pressing "OK" on the popup. With everything set up now, simply launch the Voice Access app from your app drawer, and the app will walk you through the rest. There's an extensive guide that appears on first-run, so you shouldn't have any problem getting your feet wet.Follow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube Follow Apple Hacks on Facebook and Twitter Follow Android Hacks on Facebook and Twitter Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+
