OK Google
The English phrase "hey google" is used in Chinese as OK Google to activate the Google Assistant.
This phrase is used as a voice command to trigger the Google Assistant on compatible devices.
Did you know?
- When using voice commands in Chinese, it is common to add a polite 请 'qing' before the request, even when speaking to an AI.
- Because Google services are blocked in mainland China, most residents there use 小爱同学 'Xiao Ai Tongxue' or 小度 'Xiao Du' instead of OK Google.
- If you were to use the Chinese name for Google, 谷歌, to try and wake the device, it would likely fail to trigger the assistant.
Examples in context

- 对着手机说 OK Google。duìzhe shǒujī shuō OK Google.Say OK Google to the phone.
