Help Not 'Hi Galaxy'

Anyone think I can change it so I no longer have to say "Hi Galaxy" which is rather embarrassing but, say, something else like "Computer!" in a strong Scottish accent?
 
In S-Voice if you go to menu and then settings down to the Wake up section there is a Set wake-up command, the first option should allow you to change that. At least with the S4 it is that way.
 
From the time that I've had my device I've not used it other than having the app open to use it, so not really sure.

Is there a way to activate google now instead of s voice?

I wonder if you could launch Google Now with S Voice? :p I know it's an extra step, but worth a shot.

On a more serious note, I read that S Voice can be shut off or disabled; though I'm not sure if one has to launch S Voice and go into the settings there, or if the option is in the settings menu somewhere.

that isn't a terrible idea....
 
One way it could be done is to use the app "Tasker" and "Autovoice". Tasker isn't the easiest to deal with at first but it is quite powerful. I've not used the Autovoice myself but I've heard that it can do quite a bit.

I can't find an option to change it. Just turn on/off "Hi Galaxy". :(

This as as far as I can get. So how?

I've tried to look for more information for the note 3 but can't find any information on it. In doing some searching I heard mention of 'Hands Free' for S Voice, not sure if that would be any help to you.

I'm in the tub. I'm *using* hands free for S Voice..m
 
Looks like settings are changed again with 4.3.

Can you guys press and hold the menu key to get google? I can on the Note 2 without any issues and press the mic icon in the search bar to speak.

Is that what some of you are looking for? Or did that change with 4.3?

Yes that option is still available but on 4.3 you can wake up s voice option by simply saying "hi galaxy" *insert command* but you can change that wake up command to something like "hello beautiful* or whatever you choose and s voice is ready to be used

Interesting they had to move the option elsewhere. In 4.1.2, you just go into S Voice settings to change the basic wake up phrase for S Voice and you're done. You can also setup 4 different wake up functions as well. No need to go into lock screen options for that.
