We’ve already found that a latest version of Android are going to be unveiled at Google I/O, though the conference schedule contains more clues about Google’s plans to the close future. Among them, Voice Actions, a different accessibility feature that could let developers add voice controls thus to their apps with minimal effort.
References to Voice Actions are normally found in a sandbox session scheduled for your first day of the conference called “Your app, available these days hands-free.” The session’s description hints at a totally touch-free method to interact with apps. Presumably, this will likely be something like Google Now’s voice commands, but designed for all apps, not only Google’s. Control playback in Spotify? Change the filters in Instagram? There’s no limit about what developers is capable of doing with Voice Actions, provided the feature can definitely be implemented “with practically no development overhead.”
From the sound of it, the feature are going to be dependent on Android M, though there’s the opportunity Google could make it available by having a Play Services update, whereby Voice Actions may run on older versions at the same time.
With three weeks to visit to our favorite time of the year, more information about Google’s plans will likely leak out. What do you desire to see in Android M?
