Google’s Search app caused a storm when it hit the iOS App Store with features that surpass Apple’s built-in voice assistant Siri. iOS owners who want to expand Google Voice Search should consider jailbreaking their device and downloading a new jailbreak tweak known as NowNow.
Available in the Cydia store via the BigBoss repository, the new tweak works with activator and lets you assign an action to Google Voice Search. Perform that custom action and Voice Search can be launched from anywhere in iOS. It works very similar to Siri, which opens anytime a user holds down the power button. You can see how NowNow works in the video from AppAdvice that is embedded below.
