The Google Search App just updated with the feature "New hotword: 'Ok Google' (US only)." Apparently "OK Google Now" was proving too much a mouthful; I agree. Tried it out with the Moto X's touchless controls and it works with both "OK Google" and "OK Google Now," no re-training needed. Neat!

"hello moto" would have been cool.

What's confusing me about this story is that Google Now already responded to the keyword "Google". I'm not sure what's changed with this, since the word "Google" is in the phrase "ok Google".
This was not an update to touchless controls on Motorola phones - it was an update to Google search on all android devices.

This works very well on my Atrix HD.
I've got mine trained for "OK Googorola", wakes it up every time.
Just plain "Google" works for Google Now/search, it's two separate commands really.

Mine works by saying "OK, Moto".
On the Maxx I had it recognizing "OK Droid", "OK Moto", and "OK Google".

ok google works some of the time for me.
ok google now works every time.
i haven't gotten it to register any other phrases.
I guess you can do that at the beginning of the setup.
just say
ok "whateveryouwanthere"
and it might work... someone want to test?
