    Default Google Now and Voice Commands. What can you do?

    Google Now and Voice Commands

    The one thing I havent been able to find is a concise list of voice commands available in Google Now so I decided to start this thread and see what we can come up with.

    Here's a few of the voice commands I've found for Google now.

    Some are from the Nexus 7 Book and some are just found on other forums or searching the web.

    If you know of any other good ones, be sure to reply to this thread.

    You can also find some info on the Google Now at http://www.google.com/landing/now/


    Music
    Play <artist name>

    Alarms
    "Set alarm for” <time>
    e.g “Set alarm for 8:30 a.m.”

    "Set alarm" "Time" or "for" & time, such as "10:45 a.m." or "20 minutes from now," "Label" & name of alarm "Set alarm for 7:45 p.m., label, switch the laundry"

    General Search
    Words you want to search for "bike shoes"

    Maps and Navigation
    "Map of" <Address, name, business name, type of business, or other location>
    E.g. "Map of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco."

    "Directions to" or "Navigate to" <Address, name, business name, type of business, or other destination>
    e.g. "Directions to 1299 Colusa Avenue, Berkeley, California" or "Navigate to Union Square, San Francisco."

    Contacts and People
    <Contact name>
    e.g. "Mike LeBeau" (opens Mike's contact card)

    Web and Internet
    "Go to" <Search string or URL>
    e.g. "Go to Google.com"

    Email
    "Send email" One or more of:
    "To" & contact names,
    "Cc" & contact names,
    "Bcc" & contact names,
    "Subject" & subject text
    "Message" & message text (speak punctuation)

    e.g. "Send email to Hugh Briss, subject, new shoes, message, I can’t wait to show you my new shoes, period."

    Notes
    "Note to self" Message text "Note to self: remember the milk"

    YouTube
    "Listen to" Words to search YouTube for, such as the name of a song, artist, or album. "Listen to: Smells Like Teen Spirit"

    Weather
    “What is weather going to be tomorrow”
    “What does the weather look like now”

    Conversions
    Convert 74 fahrenheit to celcius

    This looks useful! I've just been telling Google NOW random things and seeing what all it can fetch and what it can't. Nice to have this list

    The ones who say you can't and you won't are probably the ones scared that you will.
