Voice Search shortcut key

[sherazkhan2]

Is there a shortcut key for voice search (voice control) app as in like iPhone where if you would keep the home button pressed long enough, the voice control will get activated. I don't want to access the app by clicking its icon on the screen, any shortcuts using the hard keys?

Hold the search button for a couple seconds.

Thanks for the suggestion and it's half of what I am looking, but to do that first you have to click the power button and then swipe the screen to reach your home screen and then only it will work. Can't we do it without swiping the lock screen or can't we disable the lock screen so that once we click the power button we go directly to home screen? Or can we open the lock screen by using buttons?

One option is widget locker. When set up correctly you can, with one swipe, open whatever search app you want.

This is my lock screen. I can slide any of those bottom apps into the circle and they open instantly
