Learn how to use S Voice on your Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Use this app to command the device by voice to perform various features.

Tap S Voice on the Apps screen. Alternatively, press the Home button twice.
To deactivate the access by pressing the Home button, tap Menu icon > Settings, then deselect Open via the home key.

Setting the language

Note: The selected language is applied to S Voice only, not to the language displayed on the device.

When you launch S Voice, the device starts voice recognition and the microphone icon turns red.

Say a voice command.
If you say a command and the device recognizes it, the microphone icon at at the bottom of the screen flashes green. Then, the device performs the command.
Tips for better voice recognitions:
- Speak clearly.
- Speak in quiet places.
- Do not use offensive or slang words.
- Avoid speaking in dialectal accents.

The device may not recognize your commands or may perform unwanted commands depending on your surroundings or how you speak.

If S Voice is not used for a certain period, it automatically switches to standby mode.
Tap the microphone icon or say “Hi Galaxy” to the device to resume voice recognition.

You can change the wake-up command from “Hi Galaxy”. The wake-up command is used to launch S Voice when the device is in standby mode.

Tap Menu icon > Disable Voice feedback. The device stops providing voice feedback when you say commands.

You can edit the voice commands if the device does not recognize them correctly.

To correct a voice command, tap the last speech bubble that contains your spoken text and edit the text with the keyboard.
