Mobile Scheduler: Voice Login

Voice Search is a feature included on Android smartphones with version 2.2 (Froyo) or higher. This allows you to use your voice to search Google, your history, or your bookmarks. Since the Apple iPhone does not include this feature, this blog post is for owners of Android devices. Add the web address for the phone scheduler to your bookmarks. Tap the Bookmarks icon in the top right-hand corner of the web browser and follow the instructions to add the web address.

Make sure your Android smartphone is awake and positioned to the screen where your Voice Search icon is located. If you don't have a Voice Search icon on any of your screens, tap the Applications button located on the bottom of any of your screens. Then, search through your application list until you find the Voice Search icon, and tap it.




A new window will appear that says Speak Now. Say in a clear and even tone, "go to Google bookmarks". If Voice Search interpreted what you said correctly, you will be taken to your, Google Bookmarks page where you previously added the phone scheduler's web address.





















Tap on the website address of the phone scheduler to go to the login page. Sign in using your username and password and you will be able to see your schedule much faster than by typing in the web address every time.
