- 5We can simply skip the tutorial and jump right into S Voice, or we can learn how to use S Voice by taking a quick tutorial. We're going to go ahead and take the tutorial, and I'm going to walk you through that, then show you some examples of how it works. Tap tutorial. If you don't want to take the tutorial, just tap on Start S Voice to skip to the next section.Now it is showing us a tutorial.

- 7You 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"When you say "Hi Galaxy", the phone will pop up and you will get some options.

- 11Here 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.You can also tap on the three dots in the top right corner.

- 13At 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.You've also got some Settings, you can change the settings if you want.
- 14You can even log into Facebook if you'd like to do that. I find S Voice to be a very helpful and useful feature.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.

Your Samsung Galaxy S5 will announce the weather in the format you have set the weather application up in. In the event you have not set up your weather, it will default to your location. To change this, simply update the weather settings, and S Voice will adjust accordingly.
To change this, you can go to the S Voice settings (represented in the app by three dots), and click that, to access the settings menu, where you can adjust options to show the correct weather format.
