I'd been struggling with using my Cardo headset commands combined with android "Hey Google" commands to control my phone. Things never quite worked right, it was a real struggle to get to and use my garage door app or music app, or even respond to a quick text from my wife. My gloves really don't work well with the screen.
I found this article and it's AMAZING now! I can access everything with my voice that I could with my fingers, all through my Cardo headset without taking my hands off the handlebars. You have to install a "Voice Control" app from google, but then I just activate that once via a "Hey Google Voice Access" command and from there it's just as simple as saying "swipe", "scroll", "tap OK", etc. Works great and I wish I knew about this sooner!
Android's secret voice control superpowers
I realize some will say you shouldn't be interacting with your phone AT ALL while riding. Everybody can make that choice on their own. My own personal risk position feels it's an acceptable way to increase the riding enjoyment with minimal need to take your eyes off the road.
Hope this helps others!
