  • I will make the most of this opportunity to learn lots of new things and to share these with others.

Tips for using Google Voice Search

  1. Look for the "Ok Google" icon (a microphone) on the right side of the search bar.
  2. Make sure you have a new tab open as "Ok Google" only works on a new tab page.
  3. Plan in your head what you want to say. Keywords work best.
  4. Say "Ok Google" or click on the “Ok Google" icon and wait for it to ask you to “Speak now”
  5. Say your search words clearly and slowly into the microphone.
