This article will focus on voice commands for Bluetooth – headset in Android. We will show you step by step how to activate this function, discuss the pros and cons of the method used.
What are the pros
Let's talk about the strengths of this method right away. With normal voice input activated, all commands must be spoken close to the smartphone so that your voice is clearly and distinctly heard by the system. This method can be inconvenient in some situations. The situation can be corrected by connecting Bluetooth – a headset, and speaking commands into it, holding the smartphone in your hands as convenient.
In addition, commands such as 'Ok, Google , set the alarm at 7 am' do not require a smartphone at all: it is enough for the headset to be within range of the radio module and the 'Recognition from all applications' mode is activated.

About cons
The weak points include the fast discharge of your earphone, since it is in an active state almost all the time, waiting for a new command 'Ok Google'. Also, when the 'From all applications' mode is on, almost all devices have problems with the camera: when recording a video, the error 'microphone is busy' pops up and you cannot turn on video recording. You must first disable this speech recognition method.
