Tutorial How to Configuring Google Now

Thursday, July 19, 20120 comments

It seems a fair few people are having issues configuring Google Now to give them the smooth female voice, images in the search content and the ability to send texts, set alarms etc.

Follow this tutorial and you should be sorted in no time.

The problem is that the phones native language should be set to US English, and the Google Now search needs to be configured to use google.com

  • Google voice typing (settings)
  • Download offline speech recognition

Configure Google Now
  • Go to Google Now

Note: If you are in a Google Apps domain (rather than gmail.com/etc.), you will need to enable this feature as an administrator:
Google Apps Control Panel -> Settings -> Mobile -> Org Settings.

Click the checkbox beside "Enable Google Now." for the "organization" which should have access to the service.

Now you should be all good to go. Give it a try and let me know
