Change Phrase to "Best Venues..." Menu

[joshmtucker]

The phrase gets truncated ("Show best ven...") so I'd recommend changing it to "Best Venues." Other actions use shortened versions of their voice commands as well so it isn't an odd change.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Voice command should start with an action verb, so "Show best venues" is correct.

Voice commands like "Check me in" are built-in and they shorten to "Check in". But I cannot set this in my glassware, new voice commands need to be approved by Glass team and then baked into Glass platform.

Gotcha, so unless Google approves the new phrase and adds it to the SDK, the text and voice commands have to remain the same?

[davidvavra]

Yes, I can submit new voice commands here: https://developers.google.com/glass/distribute/voice-form

I'm planning to do that, can you help me a bit with making sure "Show best venues" and "Search venues for ..." really do match all requirements? I'm not a native English speaker, so I might miss some language nuances. For example: Is the word 'venues' generic enough or is it tied to Foursquare?

If you can go through the checklist here and give me some feedback that would be great: https://developers.google.com/glass/distribute/voice-checklist

Sure, I can help you with this. I'll give it a look as soon as I can.

@joshmtucker Any updates? I'm now working on a new version, I can change voice commands there. I would also like to submit voice commands for approval.

[davidvavra]

@joshmtucker ping. The process around voice commands is more restricted in XE16, I will need to submit them for approval.
