Hands Free Voice Controls

NOTE: By default these voice controls are disabled as they use an as yet unknown amount of internet. You can turn them on in the "general" section of Settings.

Google Play Music Desktop Player has implemented the webkitSpeechRecognition API to pick up what you say and uses a cool JS command parser that I wrote myself to translate that into a single action or a complex series of actions.

For example you can say some as simple as:

Hey music, pause

This would simply pause your music

To something as complex as:

Hey music, can you set the volume to 40%, play playlist My Tunes and then mix it up

Which would

  • Set your volume to 40%
  • Play one of your playlists with the name "My Tunes"
  • Turn shuffle on play a random song from your current queue

This voice controls are as powerful as we make them, if you want a new voice command you can try implement it yourself or raise a feature request issue.

What can I say though?

All command listed below must be prefixed with a hotword. Our current hotword's are Hey music and OK player.

You commands don't have to sound robotic either, you can use basic grammar between commands such as 'can you'. So instead of Hey music pause it becomes nicer and Hey music, can you pause.

Play Playlist

Play playlist [playlist name]
Play the playlist [playlist name]

Note: This is the ONLY command that cannot be followed by any other commands
