On Android phones running Android 5.0 and up, you can use your voice to talk to Google Assistant even when your phone is locked. Learn how to control what info you see and hear. On your Android phone or tablet, say 'Hey Google, open Assistant settings' or go to Assistant settings. Under 'Popular settings', tap Voice Match. Turn on Hey Google.

They say its just a migration and all the features are still there, but it's a bold faced lie. I've been using this since it's first release on PC and it's predecessor, Google Talk, on Android. I'm getting a bit tired of all of the Google services that I have used and loved for years being shut down or just gimped. Example of an app: In a talk (lecture), the speaker speaks and the listener receives the voice translated to text on the tablet or smartphone. I am a student of system analysis, have hearing impairment and need subtitles to understand better.
