Google Assistant’s Quick Phrases Comes to Pixel Buds Pro: Here’s How to Use It
Pixel Buds Pro has become even smarter. One of the quick-phrase options was launched by Google, which was never available for its flagship earbuds until now (Purely Pixel phones, tablets, and Nest devices). No more “Hey Google;” it has been a year-long wait, but your Pixel Buds Pro finally grants you voice command capabilities. Real-time Translate was probably the biggest built-in Google feature upon launch, with the addition of Quick Phrases lifting the Pixel Buds Pro from somewhat smart to downright intuitive.
What are Quick Phrases?
Had enough of saying “Hey Google” all the time? The new Quick Phrases of Google Assistant bypass the wake-up call and jump right into the command. Just say your command, and the Google Assistant will listen. Previously Pixel 6 exclusive, this time-saving feature is now finally available for the Pixel Buds Pro.
No more fumbling! Now your Pixel phone has become a mind kid. Instead of tapping, justspeakyour command. Incoming call? Say “Accept!” or “Decline!” An annoying alarm clock? Say “Snooze.” Timer shouting at you? Say “Stop!” It sounds like magic, doesn’t it?
What’s new?
Seamless in nature, the Pixel quick phrases are really just a culinary taste compared with the hefty “Hey Google” universe. Gone are the days when users would summon their assistant to manage calls; now, answering, rejecting, and even silencing calls can be completed hands-free in a snap. From there, you can snooze your alarms for a second time (or perhaps the third) and mute that incessant timer. The latest Pixel Buds Pro update brings your call control system to another level by eliminating the necessity for “Hey Google” before any of those relevant actions.
How do I enable it?
Speak Quick Phrases with your Pixel Buds Pro and get things done! Navigate to the Settings menu, call forth the Search bar, and type “Quick Phrases.” This magical portal grants you the ability to switch on each scenario. So, which devices are compatible with each phrase? That same section discloses the answer.
Yet, activating this feature does cause some problems. Picture this: you’re engrossed in a deep discussion, casually uttering a phrase, and suddenly your mobile phone picks up a call from a totally unknown number! It’s as if your mobile phone has acquired a mind of its own, and it’s listening to you! It’s not just your voice that’s being heard. An unsuspecting nearby person could set off this feature, causing Google Assistant to intervene. Words that almostsoundlike the correct ones can really set this one-off into a swirl of chaotic interruptions. Then, of course, the language restriction kicks in: for now, your Google Assistant is limited to only English, French, German, Italian, Japanese or Spanish.
