What can you do with your voice on your Android phone? More than you know!
You pick up your phone and say “OK Google”… and then what? Your phone is listening. The microphone icon is pulsing. What do you say to your phone? What can you say to it? Google Now’s voice function has become surprisingly robust over the years. Here’s a list of just about everything you can say to Google Now. Try experimenting with different phrasing, you’ll be surprised how much it understands. The part of the phrase in [brackets] can be replaced with any similar term you choose. If Google Now doesn’t get your spoken commands right, you can correct it by saying “No, I said…” and trying the phrase again.

How to Transfer Text Messages (SMS) from iPhone to Android
Are you making a switch from an iOS devices to an Android devices? If yes, this post is good for you. Transferring your media files, contacts, calendar from iOS to Android should be fine, but the tricky part is how to transfer your text messages from iPhone to your Android phone.
iPhone text message formats are not Android-friendly which is why you need to convert it to a format that your Android phone can recognize.
1. Extract iPhone Messages File: First of all we have to extract the message file, to do this, open up iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer. On the left bar, right click your iPhone and select ‘Backup’. Next, to locate the backup file:
For Windows users: C://[Users]/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer\Mobile Sync For MacOS users: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
You will see folders with random characters; open the one with the most recent timestamp. Search for file 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28. To make searching easier, just copy and paste the file name into the search box. After locating the file, transfer it to your Android phone by copying and pasting the 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 file to your Android phone SD card or internal storage.
2. Convert iPhone Messages to Android format: To start converting your iPhone messages to Android format, you need iSMS2droid. Launch iSMS2droid and tap on ‘Select iPhone SMS Database’. It will ask you to search for your iOS messages backup file. Locate and choose the 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 file. You can either select which messages you want to load or you can choose to load all of them. The conversion will then start.
Download iSMS2droid from Playstore
3. Restore iPhone Messages to Android Phone: After the conversion completed, you need another app to restore it into your Android phone. Download SMS Backup & Restore on your Android device. Launch SMS Backup & Restore and tap on Restore and it will direct you to the file directory where the converted files are located. Tap OK. You can choose to restore all messages or only restore messages from a particular date. Tap OK to start restoring. You will be asked if you want to check for duplicates of messages during the restoration process. Upon completion, you will see the number of successful messages restored, as well as those that cannot be restored. Double check your messages in the Messaging app to find all your perfectly restored messages.
Download SMS Backup & Restore from Playstore
Hooray! all your messages from your iPhone should be transfered to your Android phone successfully.

How to Transfer Your Contacts from iPhone to Android
There was once a time when transferring contacts from one mobile platform to another meant manually typing in an endless amount of names, phone numbers and other information. Our smartphones can now do most of the work for us. And for the most part it can be accomplished in a very small amount of time.
Which is the best way to transfer contacts from an iPhone to an Android phone?
Today we’ll walk you through all of the easiest methods, so you can get started and enjoy your Android device in no time.
Method #1 – Sync contacts with your Google account
First and foremost, to use your Android phone you’ll need a Google account. If you have yet to set one up, head to Google’s homepage and select the “create account” option. You can also do this directly from your smartphone, but the desktop experience is much better. Once you’ve created your Google account, pick up your iPhone and navigate to the “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” section of your Settings menu. This is where you’ll enter in your Google account. Press the “Add Account” button, select the Gmail option, and enter in your login information. Your iPhone will then ask which parts of your Google account you’d like to sync. Make sure the Contacts option is selected; then your iPhone and Android devices will start syncing contacts with one another. This is the part where you’ll need to be patient. If you have a lot of contacts, it could take awhile. Just make sure to keep an internet connection while your contacts are syncing. It should be noted that your iPhone won’t tell you when your contacts are done syncing. To check on their progress, navigate to the Google Contacts website from your desktop, sign in with your Google account, and check up on the list of contacts from there. Once your contacts are done syncing, log in to your Android device with your Google account information, and you should be all set! Note, if for any reason your Android phone doesn’t syncronize the Google contacts immediately, you can syncronize manually by going to Settings > Accounts > Google > (your gmail account) and tap on the contacts to begin syncronize.
Method #2 – Transfer with iCloud
If you have iCloud enabled on your iPhone, this method should take no time at all. On your iPhone, go to Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”, then choose “Accounts” where you should see “iCloud” listed. Choose this option, then turn on the toggle for “Contacts”. Your iPhone will prompt you to “Merge” your device’s contacts with iCloud. Once this process is done, navigate to icloud.com on your computer’s web browser, log in with your Apple ID, then select “Contacts”. Click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner, then press “Select All”. After that, click the wheel again and choose “Export vCard”. Navigate to gmail.com, click on the “Mail” button, then select “Contacts”. Click the “More” tab, select “Import”, select “Choose File”, then select your saved vCard file. When it gets done importing, Gmail will display the number of contacts that have been imported. At this point you may have some duplicate contacts, and getting rid of these is easy. Simply press the “Find & Merge Duplicates” button under the “More” tab.
Method #3 – Transfer with iTunes
If your contacts are stored locally or you’re using an account other than Gmail, you can also transfer your contacts through iTunes on your Windows or Mac computer. First, connect your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes and navigate to the device screen by clicking “iPhone” in the upper right-hand corner. Open the Info tab, then check the box next to “Sync Contacts with.” Choose “Google Contacts” from the dropdown menu, then enter your Google account information when prompted. Once your iPhone is finished syncing, log in to your Android device with your Google account information, and your contacts should all be there.
Method #4 – Use a third party application
If for some reason the aforementioned methods don’t work for you, using a third party application may do the trick. Here are two of the best apps we’ve found so far.
PhoneSwappr
With PhoneSwappr, you’ll be able to send all of your contacts to the cloud and easily retrieve them from another device. To begin, you’ll want to download PhoneSwappr to both your Android and iOS device. Open it on your iPhone, and click the “Send Contacts to Cloud” button. It might take a few minutes to synchronize. Once that’s complete, you’ll be shows a 6-digit code. Be sure to write this code down on a piece of paper so you don’t lose it! Open the app on your Android device, and click the “Get Contacts from Cloud” button. Enter in the confirmation code, and wait for all of your contacts to sync with your device. This step might take a few minutes. If everything went according to plan, your contacts should be automatically added to your Contacts app! Download PhoneSwappr from Google Play Download PhoneSwappr from the App Store
My Contacts Backup
My Contacts Backup is probably the most popular app for transferring contacts, but requires a few more steps than the first app. Download My Contacts Backup from the Apple Appstore. Once downloaded, open the app, and press the Backup button. Once the backup is complete, press the send button, and enter in your email address. The app will send a .vcf file to your email address. Once the email has been sent, open the email from your Android phone, and click on the file. Once you get confirmation that your contacts have been added, head to your Contacts app to make sure everything transferred over correctly.
Download My Contacts Backup from the App Store
There are a few more ways to transfer contacts from iPhones to Android devices, but the methods listed above are by far the easiest. Do you have any other methods? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

NVDA 2016.2 Released
What’s New in NVDA 2016.2
Highlights of this release include the ability to indicate spelling errors while typing; support for reporting grammar errors in Microsoft Word; and improvements and fixes to Microsoft Office support.
New Features In browse mode in Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls, using first letter navigation to move by annotation (a and shift+a) now moves to inserted and deleted text. (#5691) In Microsoft Excel, NVDA now reports the level of a group of cells, as well as whether it is collapsed or expanded. (#5690) Pressing the Report text formatting command (NVDA+f) twice presents the information in browse mode so it can be reviewed. (#4908) In Microsoft Excel 2010 and later, cell shading and gradient fill is now reported. Automatic reporting is controlled by the Report colors option in NVDA’s Document Formatting preferences. (#3683) New braille translation table: Koine Greek. (#5393) In the Log Viewer, you can now save the log using the shortcut key control+s. (#4532) If reporting of spelling errors is enabled and supported in the focused control, NVDA will play a sound to alert you of a spelling error made while typing. This can be disabled using the new “Play sound for spelling errors while typing” option in NVDA’s Keyboard Settings dialog. (#2024) Grammar errors are now reported in Microsoft Word. This can be disabled using the new “Report grammar errors” option in NVDA’s Document Formatting preferences dialog. (#5877)
Changes In browse mode and editable text fields, NVDA now treats numpadEnter the same as the main enter key. (#5385) NVDA has switched to the eSpeak NG speech synthesizer. (#5651) In Microsoft Excel, NVDA no longer ignores a column header for a cell when there is a blank row between the cell and the header. (#5396) In Microsoft Excel, coordinates are now announced before headers to eliminate ambiguity between headers and content. (#5396)
Bug Fixes In browse mode, when attempting to use single letter navigation to move to an element which isn’t supported for the document, NVDA reports that this isn’t supported rather than reporting that there is no element in that direction. (#5691) When listing sheets in the Elements List in Microsoft Excel, sheets containing only charts are now included. (#5698) NVDA no longer reports extraneous information when switching windows in a Java application with multiple windows such as IntelliJ or Android Studio. (#5732) In Scintilla based editors such as Notepad++, braille is now updated correctly when moving the cursor using a braille display. (#5678) NVDA no longer sometimes crashes when enabling braille output. (#4457) In Microsoft Word, paragraph indentation is now always reported in the measurement unit chosen by the user (e.g. centimeters or inches). (#5804) When using a braille display, many NVDA messages that were previously only spoken are now brailled as well. (#5557) In accessible Java applications, the level of tree view items is now reported. (#5766) Fixed crashes in Adobe Flash in Mozilla Firefox in some cases. (#5367) In Google Chrome and Chrome-based browsers, documents within dialogs or applications can now be read in browse mode. (#5818) In Google Chrome and Chrome-based browsers, you can now force NVDA to switch to browse mode in web dialogs or applications. (#5818) In Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls, moving focus to certain controls (specifically, where aria-activedescendant is used) no longer incorrectly switches to browse mode. This occurred, for example, when moving to suggestions in address fields when composing a message in Gmail. (#5676) In Microsoft Word, NVDA no longer freezes in large tables when reporting of table row/column headers is enabled. (#5878) In Microsoft word, NVDA no longer incorrectly reports text with an outline level (but not a built-in heading style) as a heading. (#5186) In browse mode in Microsoft Word, the Move past end/to start of container commands (comma and shift+comma) now work for tables. (#5883)
Changes for Developers NVDA’s C++ components are now built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. (#5592) You can now present a text or HTML message to the user in browse mode using ui.browseableMessage. (#4908) In the User Guide, when a %kc:setting command is used for a setting which has a common key for all layouts, the key may now be placed after a fullwidth colon () as well as the regular colon (:). (#5739)
