You pick up your phone and murmur quietly, \u201cOK Google, when\u2019s my next appointment?\u201d And then, loud enough to be heard over the entire room, your Google Assistant announces, \u201cNext up, you have an appointment with your urologist on September 3rd at 9AM.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"OwbYTu\">You don\u2019t have to hide under your desk anymore.

You can do it one of two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"amCOYf\">Use your voice by long-pressing on your power button or saying \u201cHey, Google\u201d or \u201cOK Google\u201d and say \u201cOpen Assistant.\u201d Or&#8230;<\/li>\n<li id=\"wl7dIM\">Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> > <strong>Apps<\/strong> > <strong>Assistant<\/strong> > <strong>See all Assistant Settings<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"pVjw4C\">Once you\u2019re in your Assistant Settings page:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"RtIqSr\">Scroll down to <strong>Assistant voice &#038; sounds<\/strong>, look for <strong>Speech output<\/strong> and select <strong>Phone<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"2RPMr1\">Here you can choose how much talking your Assistant will do.
