Hi galaxy has S4 is improved on the galaxy note 3?
Hello everyone Michael here with the daily note 2 and 3 YouTube channel and today's video
is about s voice, now S voice and I know what you're probably thinking
you've tried it before and overall was pretty subpar
and it was pretty clear you weren't going to use it
all that has changed for me on the galaxy note 3
it has come with the killer update that actually makes s voice pretty useful and it is all
about waking it up when the phone is off but first what is even more important than
that is to improve the text to speech quality out of the box it is actually pretty poor
so get out of S voice and go to settings and go to controls language and input
scroll down to text to speech options and then when you hit listen to an example
write it sounds really robotic but you get this prompt saying you can download a higher
quality text-to-speech voice so let's click on okay
and just click on free accept and download okay so you could see that it installed let's
go back to S voice what is the temperature outside
so it is much better so now that we got that solved, I want to show you the option that
you can enable that actually makes s voice really useful
to go to menu settings and then scroll down and you'll see a voice wake up I've had it
on since I've had my galaxy note 3 and I would say it really doesn't impact the battery life
and you could see that I already have that enabled
another thing I want to mention about turning S voice on with your voice is that it is using
the mic on the bottom and it is a very sophisticated auto gain mic
and you can be across the room and as long as you have a quiet house it'll actually hear
you. It is pretty amazing so you should try that
yourself so when the screen is off
hi galaxy so imagine your galaxy note 3 in your pocket
and you just wanted to check time and you had your earphones on
hi galaxy what is the time okay and it actually spoke that back to me
but had the earphones on the couldn't really hear it in the video
so that is just an example of what you can do with S voice
now that you can wake it up when the phone is in your pocket and off
so if you want to get a list of what else this can do this
you can just hit this question mark And it'll give you a long list of everything
that it can do so let's try some of these out
hi galaxy memo do taxes
hi galaxy play playlist alternative
and I've been having fun with it by accessing my note 3 while it's away from me
hi galaxy open Gmail
so you could see that list really hasn't changed much
all these things worked except that has that killer feature now where
you can turn S voice on while the phone is still in your pocket or when the phone is
across the room and you want to access some functionality with your voice and it does
work so let me show you all the ways that you can
turn on S voice I've already showed you a couple but let me just repeat them here
you could say hi galaxy when the phone is off and it turns on
you can also just open the app right that's a no-brainer
but with your headphones it changes a little bit
you can definitely say hi galaxy through the mic when the phone is off
but you could also hold this button here and I'm sure you know this one double tap and
of course it opens it up so I think with this minor change it actually makes s voice useful
and not that it wasn't useful before it just wasn't conveniently accessible
but now these changes it makes a big difference so anyway that's s voice for you and I really
urge you to give it a one more chance and I think you might want to leave it on
to use it in the future so anyway that's end of today's video and
I hope you got something out of it for more videos on the galaxy note 2 and 3
