Now we can either say the key phrase "Hi Galaxy" or we can tap on the mic
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
When you say "Hi Galaxy", the phone will pop up and you will get some options
.
You can say Call, Text, Search. Why you would be in a position to search for apes on your Galaxy, I'm not sure, but they seem to feel that that's where you would be. As stated, you can tap on the mic and say "Search for Monkeys"
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
Now the phone says, "Let me do a search for an answer to you can say search for monkeys

.
Here you can Disable Voice Feedback, see Example Commands, go to the Tutorial, Settings or Help. Disable Voice Feedback means you're not going to get feedback from her. You can just tell the phone what to do and sometimes it won't exactly do it, so I find the Voice Feedback is quite helpful.

At the moment I've got English (United States), you also can hide potentially offensive words. I have not found that S Voice uses offensive words much, but I do suppose it's possible that an offensive word could slip in here and there. I'm not sure how, but it could happen.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
You can open with two taps on the home key, voice wake-up, auto start on speakerphone, show the body of messages, check missed events, there's a huge number of options that you have here
