Basics
When you’re viewing the Google Now screen, you don’t have to touch anything. Just say “Google.”
NOTE
To detect when you say “Google” to launch Voice Search or Voice Actions, Google analyzes
sound picked up by your Sero 7’s microphone in intervals of a few seconds or less. The sound is
immediately discarded after analysis and is not stored on the device or sent to Google servers.

“Send email to Marcus Foster. Subject: Coming tonight? Message: Hope to see you later.”
