No root, no need to download or install anything.
This work for other devices as well as the Note 4. This enables the Google now "Ok Google" Feature where you can active Google now while the screen is off. This is something like the Moto X feature.
How To:
1) Open Google Now
2) Go to Google Now Settings
3) Click on "Voice"
4) Enable "Audio History"
5) Click "Ok Google Detection"
6)Click "Always on" and follow the remaining directions.

If you device is unsupported or it just wont work, then there is an app called "Open Mic+ for Google Now" which does this for you.
This also works on the Lg G3, Nexus 5, and Galaxy S5, from what I know. Please feel free to try other devices and let me know if they work as well.

works with text and calling. You have to allow Google to store and access your contacts in order to do it.
Does anyone have any idea as to whether or not you'll be able to change the trigger words to something else? "Okay, google" feels kind of clumsy haha.

"when am i" is also a good one, and i think "ok jarvis" might still work too.
anyone try s-voice with the screen off? or am i one of the only ones that still likes s-voice? on the note 3 it was beautiful, before google's screen off voice recognition came about. on the s4 it's worthless. hoping they might revamp it, but hey, who knows.

closest i could get was a hot british chick. but i'm sure that with root we could probably load the voice synthesis data in place of the stock one. (for the hot british chick, open google now, go to settings, then voice, then choose the different version of english.)

Yes I do find it creepy. I also found that Google Now doesn't search what I want, maybe that's just me.
It seems I get best results by simple opening Google search and entering one or two words on my topic of interest.
I also do not like that Now is trying to decide what I like or what I would think relevant. Again that's just me.
I turned it off completely. Each to his own!

For some reason, I can't get it to recognize anything except "ok google". Tried ok jarvis, and many others. Any trick to getting a different command to work?
I've never really figured out if people think that actual people are "listening" to what we say or "reading" our texts and email.
Nobody is. It's all code. . It's not stored and read by others later, it's not information used by human beings. It's simply information used as variables for function calls in the code. The audio the mic picks up is fed into a stack of information blocks in a first in last out method. Each sample in the stack is analyzed, not by words spoken but by the signal analysis of the detected noises. All of the noises are converted to a spectrum via Fourier analysis and then any pattern that matches the expected pattern will trigger the interrupt condition needed to turn the phone on. "Okay jarvis" has a frequency domain spectrum very similar to "okay google", thats why it works too. Any noise the mic picks up that does not match the expected pattern of noises are simply lost.
A similar process is used for email and text parsing. I know this stuff can seem scary and dubious but it's really just basic computing. Everything is converted to 1s and 0s. It's easy to let our imaginations run wild when we don't understand how something works. Imagine turning on a lighter or using a flashlight a few thousand years ago. Those things would be magical, and most likely destroyed on the spot along with the "demon" that had them.

I have a SGS running Doc JS8 and a Bell Canada Customer. I been having nothing but trouble with Voice search and Voice Dialer. I say "Text <contact name> How are you" it put "To <contact name> How are you" in the body and then i have to click the To field and press the button again to get the contact.
I say Call < Contact Name> it starts a google search. Google search is about the only thing it can do actuarially and sometimes the nav commands works but usually a hit or miss. Its not me because google search/body of text are spot on.
There is another Voice app called Voice Dialer which actually works way better and gets the correct contact without issue and can even open apps, but the annoying thing is it displays a popup you have to click and not the 15 second timer you see is Google Search.
Is there anyway to get Google Voice Actions to work better??
Is there anyway to use your voice to play Music??
I find the same. Its pretty hit and miss and highly frustrating. I can randomly send the odd text but that is it. Have never got it to do anything else which is a shame because voice commands were one of the main selling points of the sgs.

well thats the only use i see to get the hands free experience, i'd look like an idiot on the Go train barking at the phone. But still would love it if it worked in the car like the iphone does.
So I am finding conflicting information online about this functionality. Essentially when I would like to do is say a hotword (the default is "google") and the phone would launch a search. As far as I can tell this can only be initiated from within Google Now, which to be honest is almost pointless. Given that you need to touch the screen to launch Google Now its just as easy to hit the little microphone icon. Is it possible to launch the Google Now search without actually being in Google Now? It would be great if I could simply roll over after I get up in the morning and say a hotword which wakes the phone and launches the search app.

You are correct, that's how it is supposed to work. The phone Googling every time somebody said Google would be out of control.
It's probably possible somehow, but the constant listening for voice input would reduce your battery to a potato.

The microphone constantly enabled while endlessly comparing the input to listen for a keyword?
Absolutely, yes.
Ok, so what about if that only happened when it was charging? For instance, when I am sleeping I leave the phone on the nightstand next to my bed and it is plugged in. Alternatively if you have it setup in your car so that it is charging while you drive. Both instances are ideal for when you would need truly "hands free" access to search functionality.

Sorry if this is the wrong place but:
What's the difference between the S-Voice from the S4 and Google Now?
I watched sum comparison videos on youtube, but they seem a little bit inaccurate. For example, it said that "google voice" can't open apps, but it can on my Nexus 4.
S voice is Samsung's own personal assistant developed for Galaxy devices . I guess it has been used in GS3, Note 2 and GS4 as well.
Google Now is vast new concept started by Google. It's more than just a personal assistant. It's like improved version of Google Voice..
for ex. if you are entering any highway, GN will warn about traffic
you are entering into a tube station, GN will alert you about the next trains lined up..
Google voice can certainly open apps.
Google now is better .S voice sucks that's the difference. Half the time s voice doesn't function right or gets s##t wrong that you ask for.

S-Voice is like another apps on Samsung Device that begins with "S", and i prefer to put S as Silly except Samsung
Silly apps that u can find all of them for free in play store but samsung preinstall them on galaxies device!!! on Android OS that it has its own preinstalled apps......................!
of course Google Now is better.
Ok, this is turning into a fanboys sort of thread.
Back to the OPs question:
Essentially, theyre the same thing. Its like iOS' Siri versus Google Now, theyre both designed to do the same things but by different companies
And S-Voice is part of a proprietary framework called Touchwiz, so it can only be installed on devices running a Touchwiz ROM. Google now on the other hand, relies on no underlying framework and so could be installed on any Android device, as long as the Android version supports it
thx for the reply. The reason i ask this question is i installed S Voice on my Nexus 4 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/26/samsung-galaxy-s-4s-s-voice-apk-now-available-to-download/
Is there any reason to have both? I just downloaded it for fun.
With further testing, it seems like the Google now can't open sum apps. Such as PPSSPP, CloudOn, Office Suite, and GTA Vice City. While S voice.apk from the S4 can do this and can do stuff like "turn off wifi" and "turn on bluetooth".

Not really, just use whichever is best for what you do, no point in really having 2 of the same sort of utility app
And obviously one will have more features than the other, it just depends on which features are most important to the user
Question, did the s-voice install properly and isnt giving you any force close issues? Strange because I was sure it would rely on the Touchwiz framework

I used it for a day then got the network connection error also. Samsung (actually Vlingo/Nuance) reads the incoming device ID and blocks the connection if it's a mismatch with the device ID the app's intended to work with. Same thing happened when people were using bootleg copies of the SGS3's S Voice APK before it was released.
As for S Voice vs. Google Now I use S Voice more. To send a text message for example, Google Now opens up the recipient from the address book but you can't dictate the message, at least not from within Google Now. Same thing with e-mail. Dialing's also kind of clunky where if there are multiple options for your request you have to pick one manually. S Voice also repeats the number back before dialing where Google Now just dials and can miss digits you dictate pretty easily. Using a BT headset you can pretty much completely accomplish things hands free with S Voice while quite a few require a second manual action with Google Now.
Here are some examples
If you're in an app like the browser you also can't get Google Now to launch from the menu key because it's now serving the open application and doesn't recognize the "long press" command to open Google Now. Some people have disabled S Voice and remapped the home key to either Google Search or Voice Dialer. S Voice allows you to post to FB and Twitter too. Also, a lot of Google Now's neatest features (flight departure, package shipping, etc.) require you to use Gmail because Google's servers scrape your messages looking for pertinent data. I don't use Gmail and don't like the idea of Google's servers searching my data, even with my permission so to anyone not exclusively on Gmail certain feature don't mean very much.
Voice controls are also tied to S Voice. I use them pretty frequently; especially with the camera, music player, and to launch apps from the lock screen by voice.
I played with Google Now for a short time when I got my N2 so if it's improved or I'm being too hard on it someone speak up.

It's being blocked because the device ID from the APK you downloaded doesn't match the device ID the server's reading from the actual device.
I love Samsung devices but I can't stand S voice. Unless there has been MAJOR improvement over the S3's/Note2 S voice I will still dislike it. First thing I do when I set up my Galaxy phones is disable it and get rid of the home button delay.
I think google now is better, faster, much more accurate and much more unique ( S voice is a clear copy of Siri).

Just a PSA for all you guys. If you go into the google search settings, tap voice, enable audio history, then set up the OK google training, there's an option for having it listen when the screen is off.
This basically works by using s voice to set up the OK google command, then instead of launching s voice when the command is heard, it launches google now. It works pretty seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) as good as the Moto X.

But if you use a custom phrase, that works to wake up the phone but doesn't work on the home screen.
So there you still have to say OK Google.

It might be another app that's doing that. The 805 chip has a dedicated always listening chip. The entire point is for it to not affect the battery. Use it the entire day and see if you really get any worse battery life than with it off. I can assure you you won't.

THANK YOU! I went into the S-Voice settings (because I had done nothing with it since getting the phone) and first went through all the configuration of S-Voice. Left that app, went back into it and turned all of the S-Voice features off, and then went back to the Google Search settings and into the Voice portion. I then was able to train OK Google the required 4 times. It now works great. Uttering an "OK Google" with the screen off (and locked) will invoke it. Works just like I have wanted it to ever since I saw the feature on the Moto X and was always frustrated I couldn't have it on a better phone!
So guys your saying that ok google depends on svoice still? In other words of you freeze svoice with titanium backup, "Ok Google" command will not work with the screen off? Can someone check please?
Every time the Verizon commercial comes on where the actor initiates the "OK Google", my phone wakes up and starts listening for something. This is very alarming since I thought it is supposed to be "trained" by your voice. This is a hack waiting to happen. This means that if you have your phone set to unlock via "OK Google", anyone can open your phone if left unattended.
This is a serious issue people should know about.
If you disable assistant you get google now and it responds to ok google.

But with Trusted Voice, it would unlock the phone. It's one feature I wish Google would borrow from Moto. The customized launch phrase but then i guess it wouldn't have that distinct OK Google Launch phrase anymore. They modified it for the Google Home where you can say "Hey Google" instead so I think we're on a path to customized launch phrases.

You're right. It's why people must understand that smartlock get convenience instead of security. This is a good feature through, but I don't use the trusted voice since it's false positive is too high right now.
This isn't really anything new or surprising.
Although I have yet to meet anyone who can do it on my phone since people try all the time. It was bound to happen so just use common sense and don't allow your phone to be unlockable by voice.

Every tech podcast that says ok Google my phone comes alive. Been this way since first ok Google. Just disable the cute commend to unblock it. Problem solved. On side note the new GoPro hero 5 used hot words so if you want you can mess with them folks also.
It seems that as long as the first word is "OK" and the last word is two syllables it will still respond to that instated of "OK Google". I trained my Nexus 6 to respond to "OK Nexus" and that worked wonderfully. "OK Google" wouldn't wake it up.
You could try training it to listen for "OK Pixel" since the first word is "OK" and "Pixel" is two syllables and see if that solves your issue.
It triggers mine half of the time. Also MKBHD YouTube videos will trigger as well. Not concerned.
