Help voice activated texting

[alfick3]

So, here's something I haven't really given much thought about since I got the phone at the end of February. I know that we can send a text using voice recognition. I know that we can do the same with Google navigation (such as telling it where we want to go instead of typing in where we want to go). So far though, when I've looked at it, we have to be in the app and activate the voice feature. Is there a way to just be on the home screen and say "text so and so" and the messaging will open up and then we can dictate to the phone? Or "Navigate to some such place" and Google Navigation will open and search for the address and take me there? Is this something we can set up to activate if we say some code word (like maybe voice or something else) and then the phone knows to get ready to listen for the next words (text, navigate or web or something else)?

Not from the home screen. They probably thought of it but too many problems would arise like if you were talking to a friend face to face and say "Yeah I'm going to call John Later" and your phone calls john. Lmao.

That makes some sense. Thanks.
