Looking for a way to enable voice control for the default camera app that comes with the moto x4. I'd like to be able to say "capture" or "cheese" or whatever, and take a photo. The Motorola web site seems to indicate there are controls for this for the x4 on the Moto App. But my Moto app has no Voice option. Any ideas? Is this disabled on the project fi version?

This is rather petty...
I used the original X for a while and loved the touch less control, but always hated the marginally but noticeably longer wait for the spoken request to be inputted into the google search app. The google hotword detection (within the google app) was not compatible. I am considering buying the New X and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to use the default google voice search without using moto voice?
You have to choose one or the other, unfortunately.

it's somewhat possible but I'm not sure if it will always respond.
you could go into moto and than into the voice settings and uncheck the launch praise setting. after that, going into search/voice/now section of Google settings. From there, turn on hot word detection from any screen and lock screen.
Again, not sure how this will work in comparison to the Moto stuff. It might also not respond when the screen is off.

Hello, someone could upload the latest updates from the app Moto:
Moto
Moto Voice
Moto Action
Moto Display
Edit the build.prop and now tells me that are not compatible with my device.
I do not want to reinstall the entire firmware do not have time.
Hello , i have Moto X 2013 (xt 1058), but i am not sure if the Marshmallow have the option of Call the Phone with screen OFF. I have the Experience Rom and i cant use Google Now outside the Google Now app =/
Anyone know if there is any rom with it ? Or is only 5.1.1 ?
Moto Voice tends to be the only one that works all the time that way (stock 5.1), but you can actually use Google Voice in other ways. You have to enable the Use OK Google on other screens option. If you have the phone charging, you can also use it when the screen is off. It's not as reliable as Moto Voice was (I think just because SW vs FW, ie Moto Voice was also plugged into the phone on a deeper level). Some launchers (like Nova) will allow you to use it on the launcher as well, but I think you would only really need that one option (check for it in the Google App settings).
But yeah, haven't found a general way for screen off Voice Commands yet :/
My objective is to enable this reported feature on my new Moto X4. Motorola help says "Simply open the Moto Alexa app and sign into your Amazon account. Then, train your device using the voice prompts provided. Now say "Alexa" even when the phone is locked and Alexa will activate! Easy!"
NOTso easy so far, as there is no "Moto Alexa" app in the play store. Further, there is a "Moto" App on the X4 that contains "Moto Actions" and Moto Display" but no "Moto Alexa". Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Did you try just downloading Alexa from the Play Store?
Where did you buy the phone from? The Android one or Fi version will not have alexa working only google assistant.
Adding the Alexa App does nothing to enable "Alexa Functionality" in the Moto X4. I did purchase vua Project Fi/Google. I was hoping that the embedded Alexa Functionality in the European Version of the Moto X4 could be enabled/ and used in the USA. I have no use for Google's voice assistants.
The Android One version announced that it would not come with the Moto Alexa or Moto Voice.
I have a similar problem. I'd like to enable voice control for the native camera app. The Motorola website seems to indicate that the Moto App has a Voice controls section but mine does not. Google assistant will respond to voice commands to open the camera but will not "take a photo" or "take a selfie." Surprising that Project Fi seems to have disabled camera voice commands in their version.
