Google announced the expansion of the functionality of a blog post by stating : "Today, we launched our first range of partners to customize Google Voice Actions on Android. This feature will allow people to say things like, 'OK Google, NPR listen' or 'OK Google, show attractions near me on TripAdvisor ".
The famous voice command "OK Google" Google has been widely seen as a response to Siri, Apple's voice service. By opening its functionality to developers, Google wants to keep a step ahead of Apple and its Siri service, which does not yet offer a supported third-party applications. The Google Voice Control service currently supports nine languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian.
However, what Google's service has in common with that of Apple is the goal of integrating a larger number of devices it. Apple added slowly Siri for all of its devices in order to achieve full integration multi-devices. Google said its voice control service is "another way to drive the use of your application with Google" . Developers can now enjoy.
So while Google does not adopt the same approach as Apple, the firm certainly aims to streamline the processes of its native and third party applications. While the current implementation is limited, Google Now will be extended in the near future.
