Ok Google! ;) Theres a Chrome browser extension that lets users activate voice commands by saying OK Google, but Chrome OS users soon wont need it anymore. The browser extension required users to have a specific page open for it to work, but Google has built the feature right in to the latest developer build of Chrome OS. That means the operating system listens for the words OK Google all the time, no matter what youre doing or which pages are open. This is, of course, an option, so if youd rather it not listen -- for whatever reason, be it saving battery life when your Chromebook is unplugged or even privacy concerns -- you can turn it off. Chrome OSs OK Google functionality hasnt rolled out in a wide update for the stable channel yet, but anyone interested can grab a version with the feature from the Chrome OS developer channel. If youre interested check out instructions on activating it over at the Chromium Code Review.
