Q: Why can't I say 'hey speaking email' like 'hey siri' or 'hey google'?
We don't have a spoken trigger phrase, but there is a microphone button in the bottom left corner which provides in similar function. It enables you to interrupt at any time and activates listening for a command in the current context.
A:
Trigger phrases like 'Hey Siri' or 'Hey Google' are not actually simple - they don't use the standard voice recognition system but are typically hard coded at a very low system level and often built into hardware, which is what allows them to be listening all the time and wake up.
