The “OK GOOGLE” method
In addition to sending texts, this feature will allow you to perform various tasks with your voice (write an email, search the internet, get the weather, etc.).
- On your TREKKER-X3’s home screen, you can see a microphone icon to the right of the Google search bar. Press it and say “Send SMS to (*the name of your contact*)”.
- When you do this for the first time, Google will need to access the contacts stored in your device. Tap “Yes, I accept” to take advantage of this feature.
- Clearly dictate your text message, making sure you make small pauses between each word.
- Android’s voice recognition system automatically creates an SMS.
- All you have to do is tap “Send”.
