The number of voice commands that Google Now has increases each time the application is updated, reaching a very good number of them, offering us a lot of actions that we can perform by using our voice. Save time typing on the phone, and if you already have a Nexus 5, from the desktop you can use the "Ok Google" command, skipping the step of opening Google Now with the home key by dragging it over the desktop.
