How to install voice control. Voice call contacts to android without internet

Answers on questions

You can interact with a computer not only with a keyboard and mouse. Voice command control is also available. There are special utilities that allow you to do this. Their functions include not only dictation or transcription of audio recordings. Through them, you can launch applications, use them, and in general - do anything. Voice control of the computer makes it easier to work with the PC. Commands are transmitted quickly and effortlessly. If you have a microphone, of course.

We will introduce you to applications with similar functionality

This function is built into the English windows version... You must have an Enterprise or Ultimate license to use it. But also in Russified operating systems you can customize voice control and text dictation. Use one of the following applications.

It's easy to figure out the app

Popular program. Although it has its drawbacks. The essence of its work is simple: you set a command and choose what action it should perform. Let's consider setting up this application with a specific example.

Download and install it. There is a free and a Premiun version. The second one must be bought to try it on a computer.
Run the utility. An information window with tips will appear in it.
Its control panel has many different functions. Some have the same names. You need to be guided by the picture, not by the inscription. Click the "Add" button - it shows a face.
Specify a name for the profile and a keyword to represent the command. For example, write "open" if you are going to configure the launch of an application by voice. Or "go to" to instantly go to a site without entering its address.
Now we need to record this very command in the form of a sound image. Click on the button with the red circle. And clearly, distinctly say the desired phrase into the microphone.
Confirm the changes. The specified option will appear in the list in the Typle window. The program will remember what you recorded on its "dictaphone".
After that, specify what, in fact, it should run to execute the command. Click the Add button, which looks like a hand with a + (plus) symbol.
Select the data format: files / utilities, web pages, some internal OS services. Check the boxes where you need them.
Find the application you want to launch by voice. Let it be, for example, Microsoft Word... So you can very quickly start editing some text or writing an article.
In the same window, record the second part of the command. So that in total it turned out to "open the Word". The first word will activate Typle, the second will enable the bound utility.
Click Add.
Several applications can be linked to one "open" function. This way you can control their launch without touching the mouse or other peripheralsinstalled on the computer.
Edit additional parameters if necessary.
To check whether it worked or not, click on "Start Talking" and say the command.

The program works with the Russian language. But it does not always recognize it correctly. You need to speak loudly, clearly, with a mechanical voice.

Knowledge of English is not required.
Fast team creation.

No text recognition.
Limited functionality. You can only open utilities and pages on the Internet.
The program sometimes perceives extraneous noises as commands. Because of this, strange things happen on the PC.
You cannot work with the player.

Speechka

Another application for computer management

At the first start, a window will open with a choice of category: PC or Internet.
There is also an explanation of which keyboard shortcut you need to activate the utility. This can be changed in the settings.
Click on "Internet", for example. A window will open with several input fields: for the command text and for the site URL. You can write the word "Yandex" and the address of this page.
Click "Add".
Hold down the keys indicated on the main window.
Say the command so that the utility will "remember" it.

Activation by both keys and sound volume.
At startup, you can calibrate the microphone.

Limited functionality.

Speaker

The interface is made in a minimalist way

The commands in the app are configured using typed words, not dictation. There is an internal text recognition mechanism. Main functions:

Creation of screenshots on command.
Change the keyboard layout on the computer.
Opening applications and files.
Completion of work.

You don't have to make an audio recording with the team. The utility recognizes labels.

You need to use the keyboard to control. If the given button is used for other purposes, it will be inconvenient.
You need a stable internet connection.

Gorynych

The hero of Russian folk tales will help you

The program for computer voice control "Gorynych" is a domestic product. Therefore, there is a "native" speech recognition module. It "adapts" to the timbre and intonation of the user. With the utility, you can fully work in the system, and not just open files and web pages.

There is support for Russian and English.
OCR, voice input to any editors.
Advanced functionality.

It is necessary to independently create teams for each process. You literally have to write down the dictionary.

Windows Speech Recognition

The program built into the English OS. To use it, you must have the appropriate language pack installed. Russian teams won't work with her. To control a PC with it, you have to speak its language. To access it in the Panel windows settings open the menu "Regional and Language Options" (it is located in the category "Clock, Language, Region") and in all tabs set "English". If everything is correct, and you have the required language pack installed, Windows will "turn" into English, and the utility will become available. It is better not to try these methods if you do not know a foreign language well.

This method is suitable if you speak English

Other utilities

There are a number of other applications for managing such commands:

Browser extensions. Make surfing the net easier. IN Google chrome a similar function is already built in - voice input into search forms. Some online maps have this option. It allows you to find the address faster.
VoiceType.
RealSpeaker.
Web Speech.

List of programs for text recognition and dictation

Voice control is, of course, good. But OCR and dictation utilities may be useful. When composing voluminous reports, diplomas, it is easier to record your thoughts by speaking them into a microphone on a computer. Here are some of these utilities:

Dictographer.
Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Perpetuum-Mobile.

A product that allows you to dictate text to a computer

In the OS, you can configure voice commands. To do this, the appropriate program must be installed on the computer. With it, you can work on your PC, lying on the couch or lounging in an armchair. Your hands will be free. If the microphone is good and picks up even distant or quiet sounds, you don't need to sit next to it. You can simultaneously "talk" with a computer and write notes in a notebook, draw, hold something. Yes, even to sew and knit. With commands, interacting with the PC is much easier. To activate some of these utilities, you need to press buttons on the keyboard, which is not very convenient.

But there are also negative aspects. If you accidentally say a command word, an application that is completely unnecessary now will open, or the browser will go to a site in an out of place. What to use and whether to use at all is up to you.

Ok Google isn't just a voice search!

From TV advertisements, it can be assumed that the famous "OK Google" is an opportunity to indicate search query voice. On computers, if you install the Google Chrome browser, there will also be such an opportunity - voice search.

But for owners of smartphones and tablets running Android OS, "OK Google" gives much more options. "Okay Google" on Android allows you to control your smartphone using voice commands. You can call, send SMS and email without touching the touchscreen - completely or almost completely without hands!

Call a subscriber from the phone book.
Send SMS to the subscriber from the phone book.
Send Whatsapp message.
Send a short e-mail to a subscriber from the phone book.
Find out the weather.
Launch the application.
Open the site.
Find out the result of calculations (for example, 2 times 189).
Learn the translation of a foreign word. Or translation from native to foreign.

This is an incomplete list. And besides that, "Ok Google" allows you to use voice input of text, instead of typing this text on the keyboard. That is, for example, you can dictate a full-fledged e-mail letter.

Terms hint

Tap, tap - short touch with your finger touch screen... Similar to left-clicking on a computer.
Long tap - touch with finger hold. Similar to right-clicking on a computer.
Swipe - movement of a finger (or several) on the touch screen. For example, a swipe scrolls the screen content to mobile devices... Or the output of additional control panels (swipe from the top or side of the screen).

How to enable voice control on Android

A permanent Internet connection is required for voice control to work! Although this may work in limited space without the Internet, in this case the quality of your voice recognition will be so poor that it will be virtually impossible to use voice control.

"Google app"most often it is already installed in those versions of Android, which are used by smartphone manufacturers." Google synthesizer "is installed less often by smartphone manufacturers.

It is not difficult to check their availability on your device. Open "" and scroll through the list of applications:

If a " Google app"not in this list, then you need to install it from the Play Store.

Check installed or not speech synthesizer you can also use the settings (" Settings - Personal - Data - Language & input") there must be two options" Voice input"and" Speech synthesis":

If both "Google App" and "Text-to-Speech" are installed, then you can enable voice control in the settings.

First in the section " Settings - Device - Applications"you need to make sure that the" Google Application "is not disabled. And if disabled, then enable it.

After that, in the " Settings - Personal Data -Google"open the settings screen" Search andGoogle now":

This is how this screen looks:

Then open the "Ok Google Recognition" screen. Here you need to specify the settings for "Ok Google Recognition":

From an active "Google app". First, you will need to manually launch this application, for example with a shortcut from the Desktop, and then you can perform a voice command.
If you enable the " On any screen"then you can perform a voice command anytime when the screen is on. Even on the lock screen. You only need to say" Ok Google "to activate the Google voice assistant.

Voice typing (voice text)

If you tap on this icon, the voice recognition screen will open:

However, the program adds spaces in front of these characters! Voice typing is absolutely real, but you have to manually correct the dictated text. Unfortunately, the program cannot yet separate paragraphs, this will also need to be done manually.

How to download voice control Android

If your device does not have the required two applications, then you will need to install them through the Google Play Store. It's not difficult at all, as is the inclusion of the "Okay Google" service. However, there is one non-obvious aspect in this matter. This is the integration of the "Okay Google" service into the graphical shell of the device (launcher), so that voice search Google was easy to use.

There are launchers in which the "Okay Google" service is already integrated, for example, the Chinese "Launcher 3", which is used in particular in a custom Android called Freeme OS. However, not all lunchers integrate the "Ok Google" voice assistant service.

And if your device has just such a Launcher, then it makes sense for you to try the Google Launcher called "Google Start". This launcher integrates not only the voice control of "OK Google", but also another technology of the company - "Google Now". At the same time, the luncher itself is very simple and compact - nothing more.

The "Okay Google" voice assistant, by default, in this launcher, is available on the start screen and on the "Google Now" screen. However, in the settings, you can specify that voice control is available on any screen, including application screens and the lock screen.

"Google Start" launcher start screen:

Google Now screen in Google Start launcher:

Application screen in the "Google Start" launcher:

She tells jokes, you can play with her in cities. Uses all google voice wrapper (synthesizer and speech recognition).

Alice Yandex uses her own speech synthesizer (not Google, unlike Dusya and Interlocutor). There are no settings in the program. Speech recognition is good. Be that as it may, you need to make allowances for the fact that this is the "youngest" program of this type. As far as I know, it was only released in 2017. Given the seriousness of the developer, it can be assumed that she may have a good future.

Microsoft Cortana... Yes, there is Cortana for Android too. However, she only understands English and speaks only English herself. At the same time, the set of commands she has less than in "Okay Google". Cortana has the functionality of an interlocutor, but her interlocutor is useless. She does not shine with wit and sense of humor. For example, to the request "OK Google", Cortana answers corny - "Google is ok, but this is Cortana". But the main problem is of course the English language. You need to have a pretty good American pronunciation for her to understand. It's easier with short phrases, but long phrases (for notes, sms, etc.) are difficult to dictate to her.

You cannot install Cortana directly. First you need to install "Microsoft Apps" and from this application you can install Cortana. You need a Microsoft account!

High speed internet

In order to use voice control normally, the smartphone must have a stable and high-speed Internet connection. If the connection is slow or unstable, then it won't be control, but a hassle.

This news is intended for owners of smartphones running Android. The rest scroll further

Do you remember these fantastic films, where the main character, getting out of bed in the morning, asked his home computer the weather overboard, then the to-do list for today, then he went into the kitchen and discussed with the food processor what to eat for breakfast, then in the car he just called the address where to deliver it, and so on.

So, I hasten to inform you - these times have already come. Maybe not fully, but we are moving in this direction with leaps and bounds. In any case, today you can quite effectively talk to your phone. IPhone owners have long had this opportunity thanks to the Siri function, and to all Android users, we would like to recommend the free voice assistant Assistant in Russian.

So the program Assistant in Russian allows you to control your phone and perform the most common actions using voice commands. All teams are divided into several categories, short description which looks like this.

Search

What does Paris look like? What is gravity? How many meters are there in a mile?

And any other information requests. The assistant recognizes the essence of your question, takes the answer from the most appropriate source (Wikipedia, Google, Google Pictures) and presents you in a convenient manner.

Weather, time, calculator, sports, news

What time is it? What is the time in Seoul? What is the weather? Weather forecast for three days in Moscow? Spartak match schedule? Show the news!

It can take a very long time to list examples of requests in this category, and the Assistant can give a decent answer to each of them.

Alarms and Reminders

Wake me up tomorrow at seven in the morning. Wake me up in two hours. Remind me to throw out the tree in March. Remind me to call Mom tomorrow at three o'clock.

This is an unambiguous killer feature of this application. Now you don't have to open an alarm clock, set hours, minutes, seconds on different spinners, give a description, and so on. You just use human language to tell the phone what you need and it immediately understands it and remembers it.

Call and the address book

Call Andrey. Write an SMS to dad.

If you don't like the standard address book, then you can forget about it forever. Just talk to the phone who you want to talk to or send text message and it connects you right there.

Navigation

Find the way from Lenin Street to Mira Street. Where is the library located? Show me where I live. How to get to Kiev?

Of course, the Assistant uses one of your installed navigation programs to plan a route. But the ability to set the desired points and directions in human language greatly simplifies their use. Interestingly, the Assistant has a learning ability. For example, you can tell him where you live, and then to the request “Let's go home!) (You need to pronounce it in a firm sober voice), he will literally take you to the entrance.

This is where we will finish the description of the voice assistant. And not because its functions are over, not at all. On the contrary, the number of requests recognized by the Assistant is very large and you will have more than one amazing discovery of its abilities.

And the best part about this program, besides being free, of course, is that it really works. When I loaded it, I expected to see a curious little animal, which rather serves for self-indulgence and after that it will certainly be thrown into the basket. In fact Assistant presents a fully functional and extremely convenient innovative interface for interacting with your smartphone.

There are several reasons why users cannot control the computer using standard tools - keyboard and mouse. First, it may be due to breakdown named devices. Secondly, such a need arises in people with disabilities... And finally, thirdly, users just want to somehow facilitate your task work with a computergiving him voice commands.

Windows OS has a standard speech recognition application, but unfortunately, it does not support Russian, but only English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese.

To do this, it is necessary (the description of the OS sections will be in Russian):

And what can a Russian-speaking person do? windows users? Fortunately, there is a way out - using third-party programs... There are many similar applications - both paid and free. Among all applications for voice control of a computer with windows system especially stands out Typle... About her and will be discussed further.

Controlling your computer with Typle

According to the majority of users who prefer to control the computer using their voice, the program Typle is one of the best (if not the best).

This small-sized application is capable not only of executing commands available in its database, but also supports the creation of custom ones. It is the latter that is especially appreciated in this application.

Typle will ask you to press the button " Add to". After clicking, you will need to enter your name (enter any) - this is necessary so that the application can execute exactly your commands if you are not the only computer user. We also fill in the field “ Enter a keyword"(You can leave the proposed option" Open»). This is the word that will be used to run your commands, or rather, this phrase will signal the program to execute the commandwhich you will say next.

Pay attention to the bottom of the window. At the moment, the checkbox is set on the item " Programs and files". You can also highlight other points. For example, check the box “ Windows files ". Now the window for selecting commands to run will display standard programs Windows (notepad, Paint, command line and so on), as well as various system applications, such as " Update centre" or " Disk Defragmenter Wizard" other. it convenient opportunity for users who often have to deal with setting up a computer system.

Another interesting ability Typle - the ability to open selected internet sites. To do this, you need to check the box " Internet favorites»And select the desired site from the list.

Once you have selected the appropriate action, it will require write command... To do this, click on the record icon next to the field in which the name of the selected action (program, site, etc.) is written, and then say any phrase. In our case, it is “ Opera».

After successfully saving the record, you can check the correct execution of the command using the program Typle... To do this, you need to speak into the microphone the word “ Open", And then immediately the phrase that you wrote down in the last step to launch a particular program. In our case, the command sounds like “ Open the Opera». After these words, the program will automatically launch the browser.

As you can see, control the computer using the program Typle not that difficult. You can create many different commands that, when pronounced, will launch certain applications, open documents, or start playing video or music.
