g4 voice assistant?

[thisismelsemail]

Probably a dumb question but does anybody know if the g4 has a voice assistant? I believe the g3 did but cannot seem to find it on the g4.

Have you tried Google Now?

My G4 (at&t) has one on there called Voice Mate. I don't ever use it to know how well it works.

I am getting more used to "ok Google" and it does a pretty good job but its got a ways to go to catch up to Cortana

Google now can definitely send texts (though I use my watch more often than not these days to send texts) and I use Google Now every night to set an alarm.

This is the one thing I'm missing about my Moto X. The reading of text and alerts while driving

As user vansmack said, Google now does both of those things. I use it to set an alarm every single night. And it definitely can send texts, although I don't use it often.

Try Agent for reading texts aloud while driving. I turn everything else the app does off, but you might find the rest useful.

You are the first person in the world who believes Cortana to be more advanced than Google Now. First and only, probably.

Not trying to be rude or anything, I've just never heard someone say that before.

I use Hound. I find it better than any other voice assistant due to the fact that it is context aware and it understand multiple queries at the same time.

Wow i feel kinda dumb. I had no idea google now could actually access phone features. And it is definitely easier than voice mate. Thanks for the help guys

Cortana was so easy to use and did anything I needed. My 3 year old WP could not only ready texts but also allow me to respond and send without touching the phone. I also grew rather fond of just holding the search button to awaken Cortana.
