Two Ways to Repeat Wrong Words in Google Voice Search

Android: When you are typing on your smartphone, you can double-tap a word to correct the mistake. Google Voice search is no different: if it misunderstands a word, you can repeat it again without repeating the entire phrase.

Google Voice Search understands me really well, but from time to time something goes wrong. There are two fixes:

  1. Tap a word and it will show several other options. If none of them work, click the Repeat Voice button to repeat the word aloud.
  2. If you are going to fully use the speakerphone (and your phone supports this feature), you can say “Ok Google” again and then say “No, I meant ____”. It will replace the correct word in your last search term, which is pretty cool.

Hope this helps you next time Google fixes “Lifehacker” to “life jacket”.
