OK Google to expand across Android OS: Report

NEW DELHI: The 'Ok Google' voice command that launches the Google Search app from the homescreen on phones with the Google Now launcher and from the Google Now screen on other smartphones, will reportedly be extended to core Android apps.

According to Android Police, users will be able to perform certain actions through the voice command 'Ok Google,' inside core Android apps like Photos and Gmail. For instance, they'll be able to share images through voice commands within the Photos app or reply to emails inside the Gmail app by simply saying 'Ok Google.' Apps that support the feature may sport a red coloured round button with the letter 'g' in lower case denoting the functionality.

The report doesn't mention the source of the information but claims that the project is being actively worked on. The feature may be available only on Google experience devices like Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. The website has also posted mock-ups of the activation screen of "Ok Google" everywhere.

In addition to the 'Ok Google' functionality, the report also mentions that Google will replace the existing navigation buttons with new ones. These will also include a new 'Google' button which would trigger search from any screen of the operating system, along with the redesigned back and app switcher keys. It is not clear how users will go to the home screen, though.
