You can Automatically put a Call on Speaker using Voice Command
Good find, thanks!
Found it but only by accident.
Oho, very usefull, i'm gonna try it on lumia 800
Very cool. Anyone know if you can answer a call on a sleeping phone with a voice command? That would be handy for an incoming call when driving. Something like "answer call on speaker".
Or you can just click the speaker button.
I always accidentally put it on speaker mode using voice command but never knew how to actually trigger it

Well I'm glad they did, I had no idea you could do this. And it saves from that second of looking down while driving to hit the speaker button (sometimes it's just not an option to pull over).

I sure hope you're not driving in the Miami area. Ever heard of bluetooth?

Well after some Minutes I figured out the German command:
I didn't work for me very well, he told many times, that he can't find the contact, because he recognizes "lautsprecher" (ger. speaker) as part of the name.
"ruf X an auf Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X on speaker") did not work at all, I had to say: "ruf X an, Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X, speaker") but even that didn't work very well, like I said above.
Anyway, good to know that there is a function for that, but I think I will still use the button for that.. :/
Thanks anyway!
Cool
Press the Windows phone button and say " What can I say" when it asks you to speak.You get the complete list of commands that you can say to you phone.Be sure you scroll to the left and the right to see the other commands other than call.
I remember stumbling upon this by accident when I said "Call Michael R." but slurred momentarily afterwards, and then my WP responded by saying "Calling Michael R. on Speakerphone". Cue epic "WTF?". Still, it's an impressive feature to have.
A thing for headset users (like I have the HTC headset for my TITAN), the "Play/Pause" button on the headset may also be able to trigger Microsoft TellMe. A tip for this though, if you're planning to do this I recommend going to Settings -> Speech -> and make sure "Use Speech when the phone is locked" is checked.
P.S. I do have the contact's full surname in the entry, but have simply put the initial there for the purposes of respecting his privacy.
thanks for an information thread
The way windows phone handles voice commands over Bluetooth is one of the big selling points for me. I like the way it reads out SMS over my car speakers and gives me the option to respond by voice. I also have an HTC one x but never use it in the car (I.e most of my working day) because I cannot find an android app that replicates this function with the ease if use that wp has built in out of the box.
(P.S. before any flame wars start, I am not not knocking the One x or android, I love the hi Def screen, some of the games and the text ref low in the browser, the industrial design is also second to none IMHO.)
So after having a listen to the response to pressinf the centre (windows button) and saying "What can I say?"
You can do the following (some things are more obvisou that others):
"Call xxx" - preforms the standard call a contact. The only difference is that the first time you say a contact name you have to select which of their numbers you wish to associated with their name.
"Call xxx, mobile" This way you are accepting they have more than one number so you could choose to say call and a different phone type I assume.
"Call xxx, on speakerphone" Well this one is what started this thead in the first place.
"Redial" Another pretty obvious one really.
"Find xxx in xxx" Find something somewhere.
"Find Weather in xxx" like Siri on iOS proving you weather info.
"Open xxx" or "Start xxx" Enables opening an app handsfree. This works well with "Hey DJ" which is a handsfree music player. (Nice!).
"Text xxx" I like this one, as it enables you to text someone handsfree.
During a call you can start speach and say "Call" to call another person or "Press" to press a number.
Hope this helps those that haven't or don't want to listen to the "What can I say?" response.
This is based on using a Nokia Lumia in the UK.
If I use voice commands, I rather use the "ok google" feature than tapping the screen. So is there a way to set the watch so it does not launch voice commands with a tap? It seems I accidentally touch the screen more often than I use the voice commands and each time that happens, it'll stop or pause whatever media related thing I'm doing on the phone.

I agree. It's really annoying when you're listening to music while walking or jogging.
Wait for te 5.1.1 update it will be changed to a appdrawer i believe.
Hola -
I love my 5X and it's been great until lately...I'm getting erratic behavior (or behaviour if you're in England).
The first issue is that when I have my earpiece connected (Samsung HM1300) and say "OK Google", the phone wakes up, the Assistant appears but then immediately stops listening .... the balls dance for maybe 1/2 second, then the Microphone icon appears instead and then I have to press Microphone , which ruins the hands-free paradigm of Google Now.
The second is that I once had the brilliant idea (when I forgot my earpiece) to say to the Assistant: "Call Stephanie on mobile, and put it on speakerphone". Google dutifully repeated "Calling Stephanie on mobile and putting it on speaker" and did so. Since then, half the time I make any phone call using Assistant, it puts it on speakerphone regardless of whether I ask it to. I won't even say a word remotely resembling "speaker", e.g. "Call Juliet on mobile" returns me "Calling Juliet on mobile and putting it on speakerphone". I then have to take my eyes off the road and switch from Speaker to Bluetooth.....
None of these problems existed a month ago. I've used the HM1300 for over a year.
I don't have trouble with the Assistant when Bluetooth is disconnected - the Assistant listens for a second or two before giving up.
Is there a cache I can clear or something?
TIA
Anybody having issues with hey Google? When I say it my phone hears it and the little assistant pops up at the bottom.. but then I have to press the microphone picture to use it instead of just talking like I have with every other phone I've had since that feature came out. IDK what I can do to fix it.
I just noticed it earlier today and wondering why I'm not getting a chime when I say "hey google" or press the assistant button.

Dude, i have the complete opposite opinion/Outlook of this. The chime is so incredibly blaringly loud. I have been wanting to mute it. But the only it appears to be mutable is of you turn off ALL and any sort of accessibility settings or options.
I guess I've answered your question lol. Enable some sort of accessibility option, and that horrendous ding will come back lol.

I know you can turn the chime volume down. I think it's the media volume but I turned mine up and still no chime
yeah, no chime for me either. I dont know how to feel about it. it is loud and annoying but without it i dont know if the assistant heard me
The Pixel 6 series support continued conversation, where the Google Assistant continues to listen (hence no sound cue while it continues to listen despite how many ever times you trigger the keyword since mic is already busy listening) for a brief period after you complete the first Hey Google + command sequence
