It can set alarms for you
Also, may seem stupid, but you are speaking it, right?

I just say "Set timer for X Minutes or hours" or I say "Set alarm for 10 P M" or "Set Alarm for 10 A M tomorrow" and it does it. Try saying that.

I was looking through the Nexus 7 manual in the Play Books app and one of the things it says for gestures is swiping up from the bottom on any screen and saying the word "Google" then your search will search for you. I've swiped up and said it, swiped then paused briefly before saying it but nothing works. Is this something that was taken out with the 4.1.1 update or has it always been missing? Failing that am I doing something wrong?
To clarify things I'm not talking about voice search. I can tap the microphone icon and get search results that way but that isn't what the manual says or what I'm talking about.
Did you elect to turn on Google Now at the first boot? If not, find it in settings and tick the box

I'm guessing you're not based in the US? Google now is pretty crippled when not using the US version. One of the missing features (at least in the UK) is the ability to activate the voice search by saying Google, also the pretty search results with pictures etc are not there too.

This seems to be the problem then. Curses! Thanks for letting me know.
I am US based, and have been unsuccessful with the "say google" voice command as well.
I launch google now.
I say google, and it starts listening for search and I can talk to it.
Works fine for me.
thats because in the second update on the nexus 7 it was taken out due to the court case!

That's a US court case though and only applies to the US. It's similar to how I can buy a Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1 if I want to regardless of what happens in the US. I would hope that Google would leave it in for all non-US countries.
Bielinsk, have you updated? Are you using the stock ROM? If you're using the stock ROM and have updated then something else must be causing it. If you haven't updated then it's clearly been removed.
Swipe from Home button, "Google", "[query]".

Where exactly in the settings menu? Google Now's settings? General settings? I've looked in all of them and unless I'm missing something it should be enabled.
Same question for those saying it works, have you updated? Stock or custom ROM? I'm on 4.1.1 stock

Just a bit of info i have found from research -
If you're in the UK and the pictures aren't displaying, you have to tick - 'search from google.com' in the Google Now settings, and not use google.co.uk.
Same thing stands if you want the cute female voice - You have to change the language to English US
Hope this helps
p.s - the only thing i am stuck with is how to set up 'my locations' - i have enabled this within the Google Now settings but on the Maps app, i cannot add 'my locations', which makes that part of Google Now pretty much useless. I want Google Now to give me prompts to leave, etc etc, its a pretty nifty thing they showed off. Anyone know?
To set your Home and Work locations you have to go to maps.google.com (or .co.uk or wherever you live) on your PC and log into your Google account. You should see the links under the Create Map button on the left.

It works for me and I'm running 4.1.1 with the 2nd small "D" update. It also worked before and after the first update to 4.1.1
To turn on the "Say Google" feature open Google Now
Click Menu(3 dots lower right corner) -> Settings -> Voice -> Hotword Detection

Second update on the Nexus 7 doesn't remove any search functionality. I can still search and see results for apps and contacts when searching from the search box. This issue only applies the the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus.

Here's what I have found
UK nexus 7 on stock 4.1.1
Voice language set to English UK
Search set to Google.co.UK
Offline files for voice recognition for UK English downloaded.
No hot word option in menu. No response to "Google"
Change language to English us at Google now. Change search to Google.com exit from Google now go back in Google hot word works menu option there.
BUT voice recognition way off (was almost perfect before)
Change language back to English UK, exit, back into Google now, no response to "Google" no menu hot word option.
Seems to be the language rather than the search that triggers it.
Guess it will come when they have analysed enough voices to get it right. Although it seems a strange thing to leave out given the rest of the recognition stuff works OK.
Hey guys can I set Google Now to detect voice as soon as I swipe up? I can't see options and it would be much easier whilst so I can send a text with touching my phone less for safety.
Thanks guys
I tried to do that as well but I didn't find any option. I doubt it's possible with stock phone. But I really hope I'm wrong.

Setting>Voice>Hotword Detection ??
Then after swiping up to open Google Now, you just say "Google" and what you want it to do..
example: "Google, Text Someone Don't Forget the Milk"

This, your language must be set to "English (US)" for the hotword to work. I tried it out for a while (I'm from the UK) but I didn't use it so switched back.

Good shout. This works.
This is kinda funny actually , I currently just study but Google now decided to choose a random location I walked a couple of times to as my "work" and now I get the card quite frequently on Google now , there's no option to not set a "work place " the only thing I can do is edit is the address ... :banghead:

Sadly, no. I have the same issue. I work from home, so I use the same address for both. I messes up the % at home, % at work, % away graphs in Latitude, but at least it fixed Google Now giving me useless commute times.
Update: Go to https://maps.google.com/maps/myplaces and remove it there. It may still put in random places anyway though.

I got a chuckle out of that one...
But honestly to answer the OP, go to maps.google.com on your computer. I know use your computer for once. Make sure you're signed in, and hit "My Places." You can delete Home and Work by clicking on the expand menu buttons...
Since you frequently visit that place why not just let it give you the information whether you work there or not?
You can also head over to the google now settings and there should be an option to set a different work place ( A place you visit frequently, in my case School )

There is a way. Not by adding it directly to the settings page though.
Search the place you want to go to often and it will automatically give you timings to that place. Google Now will than ask you if you go to the place often and answer yes. :laugh:
Edit: Sorry for the extremely late reply. Did not receive a notification that showed you replied.

Thanks, entering the addresses in Google Now is giving me the estimated travel time.
But it hasn't asked me if I go to the place often.
I'll keep trying, thanks.
So. I loaded up the Nexsys 5, Google home, PrebuiltGmsCore and Velvet apks on the Hyper 1.1 Rom. All works fine, except, I don't get the "say Google" on the google search bar.
I tried the moving off English US to UK and back.. but that didn't help.
Also, one iteration of me playing around, it was there for a brief time and then gone when I reloaded... so I know its possible, just don't know enough about the way its setup to know what to look for.
Any help would be great!

"Ok google" is hit and miss right now. Works on some devices but not the G2. You would think with the Snapdragon 800 it would surely work but not with this update, wait till the next one boss.

"Once in Google Now, scroll all the way to the bottom and press the 3 dot menu to select Settings. From there, select “voice” > “offline speech recognition” (manage downloaded languages). Now, we’re going to work our way from the right tab, all the way to the left." Then follow what it says.
