Search Third-Party Apps With 'Ok, Google' on Android Soon
Google is now encouraging third-party app developers to integrate the 'Ok, Google' voice command for their in-app searches as well.
The search giant has provided a small code on Wednesday and is suggesting Android app developers with existing searchable activity in their app.
The blog post also notes that this feature is available for English locale Android devices running Jelly Bean and above with the Google Search v3.5 or greater.
The company says that with the integration of this feature to a third-party app search, users will be able to use 'Ok, Google' voice command following the search query and the app name will eliminate extra efforts of opening and searching from the app.
As announced back in June, 'Ok, Google' search can also be performed from any screen if the device has hotword detection enabled on it. Users with Search app version 3.5 or higher can go to Google Now > Settings > Voice > Ok Google hotword detection, and check if the feature is rolled out to them or not.
