How to Control Everything on Your Phone With Your Voice (iOS and Android)

如何通过语音控制手机上的所有功能（iOS 和 Android）

With the arrival of digital assistant apps like Gemini and Siri, most of us have grown used to talking to our phones. But conversing with your Android or iOS device can go way beyond interacting with AI. You can also use your voice to launch apps, fill out text fields, and do just about everything that was previously only possible with your fingers and thumbs.

随着 Gemini 和 Siri 等数字助理应用的出现，我们大多数人已经习惯了与手机对话。但与 Android 或 iOS 设备交流的用途远不止与人工智能互动。你还可以使用语音来启动应用程序、填写文本框，并完成几乎所有以前只能通过手指操作才能实现的任务。

Of course, the traditional touchscreen input will often be the way to go. But there might well be scenarios—when you’re cooking, repairing something, looking after children, or doing anything else that keeps your hands busy—where it’s easier and more convenient to use voice input instead. The usefulness of voice control is of course well known to those who have impairments that keep them from controlling a touchscreen phone with the usual taps and swipes.

当然，传统的触摸屏输入通常仍是首选方式。但在某些场景下——比如你在做饭、修理东西、照顾孩子或做其他需要占用双手的事情时——使用语音输入会更简单、更方便。对于那些因身体障碍而无法通过常规点击和滑动来操作触摸屏手机的人来说，语音控制的实用性自然是不言而喻的。

Here’s how you can set up the feature on your phone, whether you’re running Android or iOS.

以下是如何在你的手机上设置此功能的方法，无论你使用的是 Android 还是 iOS 系统。

Voice Control on Android

Android 上的语音控制

To configure voice control on an Android device, you need to install the free Voice Access app from the Google Play Store. You also need to have the Google app installed, but this should’ve come preinstalled on whatever Android handset you’ve got.

要在 Android 设备上配置语音控制，你需要从 Google Play 商店安装免费的“Voice Access”应用程序。你还需要安装 Google 应用，不过这通常是你所持有的任何 Android 手机上的预装软件。

Once you’ve installed Voice Access, you can enable this feature from Settings. On a Pixel phone, head to Accessibility > Voice Access. The exact location of the feature may vary on other handsets, but it’ll be somewhere in the Accessibility menus. For Samsung devices, for example, it’s under Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Voice Access.

安装 Voice Access 后，你可以从“设置”中启用此功能。在 Pixel 手机上，前往“辅助功能” > “Voice Access”。该功能的具体位置在其他手机上可能有所不同，但通常都在“辅助功能”菜单中。例如，在三星设备上，它位于“辅助功能” > “互动与敏捷度” > “Voice Access”。

During the setup of the feature, you’ll be able to tweak a few of the options, including whether to display a persistent button onscreen for launching Voice Access, and whether the feature is always listening for commands whenever the screen is on (which is recommended for convenience).

在设置该功能的过程中，你可以调整一些选项，包括是否在屏幕上显示一个用于启动 Voice Access 的常驻按钮，以及屏幕开启时该功能是否始终处于监听命令的状态（为了方便起见，建议开启此项）。

The same Voice Access screen where you enable the feature also gives you access to a few more key settings. These include options for how long your phone should wait before it stops listening for commands, how precise your phrasing has to be for instructions, and how the Voice Access shortcuts are displayed on screen.

在启用该功能的同一个 Voice Access 界面中，你还可以访问其他几个关键设置。其中包括：手机在停止监听命令前应等待多长时间、指令的措辞需要多么精确，以及 Voice Access 快捷方式在屏幕上的显示方式。

Voice Access can be launched by saying, “Hey Google, start Voice Access,” or via any of the shortcuts you’ve configured in the Voice Access settings (including an on-screen button and a gesture shortcut). When the feature is active, you’ll see an icon showing four dots up in the top left corner, and you can then start speaking to control your phone.

你可以通过说“Hey Google, start Voice Access”来启动 Voice Access，也可以通过你在设置中配置的任何快捷方式（包括屏幕按钮和手势快捷方式）来启动。当该功能处于活动状态时，你会看到左上角出现一个显示四个点的图标，此时你就可以开始说话来控制手机了。

There are a host of different commands you can use; Google has a full list here. You can also see the full list from Accessibility > Voice Access > Voice Access Settings > Voice Access commands. To help with navigating menus, say “show labels” to put numbers on each menu item—you can then just say the relevant number. Use the “Show grid” command, and you get a numbered grid across the screen you can then work with.

你可以使用多种不同的命令；Google 在此处提供了完整列表。你也可以通过“辅助功能” > “Voice Access” > “Voice Access 设置” > “Voice Access 命令”查看完整列表。为了方便导航菜单，你可以说“show labels”（显示标签），为每个菜单项添加数字——然后你只需说出相应的数字即可。使用“Show grid”（显示网格）命令，屏幕上会出现一个带数字的网格，你可以据此进行操作。

Instructions such as “Go back” and “Go home” can help you get around on your phone, and if you’re in a text input field, you can just say “Type …” followed by what you want to type. Swipe and scroll gestures can also be spoken out, so there’s a lot you can do using just your voice. To disable the feature, use the same shortcut you used to launch it, or say “Stop voice access.”

“Go back”（返回）和“Go home”（回到主页）等指令可以帮助你在手机上进行导航。如果你处于文本输入框中，只需说“Type…”（输入……）后接你想输入的内容即可。滑动和滚动的手势也可以通过语音发出，因此仅靠语音你就能完成很多操作。要禁用该功能，请使用启动它时所用的相同快捷方式，或者说“Stop voice access”（停止语音访问）。

Voice Control on iOS

iOS 上的语音控制

Before you can use voice control on an iPhone (which is actually called Voice Control), you may need to download some additional files. From iOS Settings, open up Accessibility > Voice Control, then tap Set Up Voice Control and follow the instructions. Along the way you’ll be asked to choose the language for voice commands, and then the feature will be enabled straight away.

在使用 iPhone 的语音控制功能（官方名称为“语音控制”）之前，你可能需要下载一些额外文件。在 iOS 设置中，打开“辅助功能” > “语音控制”，然后点击“设置语音控制”并按照说明操作。在此过程中，系统会要求你选择语音命令的语言，之后该功能将立即启用。

Before you actually start talking to your phone, it’s worth reviewing the options that appear on this same screen. You can tap Language to change the voice input language, and Commands to see all the different instructions available to you. Apple also has a list of some of the commands you can use.

在你真正开始与手机对话之前，值得先查看一下同一屏幕上出现的选项。你可以点击“语言”来更改语音输入语言，点击“命令”来查看所有可用的指令。Apple 也提供了一份你可以使用的部分命令列表。

The toggle switches farther down the same screen let you control how you want Voice Control to work and give you feedback. You can have onscreen confirmations of your commands, as well as accompanying sounds and hints for what to say next. Enable Attention Aware, and Voice Control will be automatically enabled and disabled as you look at and look away from your iPhone.

同一屏幕下方的开关可以让你控制语音控制的工作方式并提供反馈。你可以设置屏幕上的命令确认提示，以及伴随的声音和下一步操作的提示。启用“注视感知”功能后，当你注视或移开视线时，语音控制会自动开启或关闭。

There’s also the option of a continuous overlay on the display, which can be switched on via the Overlay menu. You can get numbers or names next to all the elements on screen, to make it easier to identify them with your voice, as well as overlay a numbered grid so you can simulate a tap in specific regions just by saying a grid number.

此外，还有一个在显示屏上持续覆盖的选项，可以通过“覆盖”菜单开启。你可以在屏幕上的所有元素旁边显示数字或名称，以便通过语音更轻松地识别它们；还可以覆盖一个带数字的网格，这样你只需说出网格数字，就能模拟在特定区域的点击操作。

When Voice Control is active, you’ll see a blue sound wave icon up in the top left corner, next to the iOS clock. Just tell your iPhone what you want it to do or what you want to select, and it will oblige. You can also use commands such as “Scroll down,” “Swipe left,” or “Tap and hold” to control what’s happening on screen.

当语音控制处于活动状态时，你会看到左上角 iOS 时钟旁边有一个蓝色的声波图标。只需告诉你的 iPhone 你想让它做什么或选择什么，它就会执行。你还可以使用“Scroll down”（向下滚动）、“Swipe left”（向左滑动）或“Tap and hold”（点击并按住）等命令来控制屏幕上的操作。

The available commands cover text selection and editing, as well as device-level controls. You can give instructions such as “Lock screen,” “Turn up volume,” and “Take screenshot” for example. iOS also lets you create your own commands via Commands on the Voice Control screen, and teach the tool new words via the Vocabulary option.

可用的命令涵盖了文本选择和编辑，以及设备级别的控制。例如，你可以发出“Lock screen”（锁定屏幕）、“Turn up volume”（调大音量）和“Take screenshot”（截屏）等指令。iOS 还允许你通过语音控制屏幕上的“命令”选项创建自己的命令，并通过“词汇”选项教该工具识别新词。

The same toggle switch that turns on Voice Control also turns it off, and you can also say “Turn off Voice Control” to go back to the normal way of working with iOS. Ultimately there isn’t much you can’t do with your voice on an iPhone—and typically the words you need to say for each command are the most obvious and intuitive ones.

开启语音控制的同一个开关也可以将其关闭，你也可以说“Turn off Voice Control”（关闭语音控制）来恢复正常的 iOS 操作方式。归根结底，在 iPhone 上几乎没有你无法通过语音完成的操作——而且通常情况下，每个命令所需的词汇都是最直观、最显而易见的。
