Description

Voice Command is a watchapp for Pebble Time 2 and Pebble Round 2: you speak
into the watch microphone, speech recognition turns it into text, and your
phone carries out the command: call someone, send an SMS or a Signal
message, save a note or a reminder, or make the phone ring. English and
German commands are always understood.

To carry out commands you need the free Android app "Voice Command Service"
on the same phone. Without it the watch just shows the recognized text.

  • Calls: "Call Mom", "Could you please call Mom". The watch asks first,
    Select dials (can be turned off). Back on the watch hangs up.

    Preview on the watch, Select sends, Back discards.
  • Signal: "Send Lisa a Signal message saying …". Like SMS, via your own
    Signal bridge.
  • Notes and lists: "New note: buy milk and coffee", "New list: holiday",
    "Note in holiday: passports". Stored in the Android app, where you
    check them off, edit and delete them, and share a note or a whole list
    with other apps, e.g. a shopping list via messenger.
  • Reminders: "Remind me at 6 pm to get the laundry", "… in 20 minutes",
    "… tomorrow morning", "… on Friday at 6 pm", "… on May 12th".
    Without a time: morning 8, noon 12, afternoon 3 pm, evening 7 pm.

    3 short pulses, at most 60 s) and take priority over everything else.

    minute. Alternatively they ring on the phone like an alarm clock.
