This is getting frustrating - why does only some Google Voice Commands seem to work for me? 

 

I am trying to figure out what I can say to my Android Wear - and found this list. But some things just does not work, and some things work every second time.

 

For instance - when I say "Play some music" it does a Google-search - but if I say "Play Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen" it plays the song on my Play Music All Access. If I say "Listen to Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen" it plays the song sometimes - other times it just does a search. If i say "Play some music" it always just does a search.

 

If I try to say "Create a calendar event" it just does a search - that does not seem to work at all. 

 

 

Should we crowdsource a list of commands that actually work - and commands that work some times?

Unfortunately, Google hasn't unified its commands across the different platforms.  There are different ranges of commands for Google Search (Android), Google Glass and Android Wear/Auto.  There are some crossover, but not a lot.

 

You might be able to search for "Android Wear Voice Commands" to help.

Thanks Joseph Cappellino - I have found one article on the subject. But I still dont understand why some commands work sometimes ... (and why it is not unified is beyond confusing)

Not sure.  I've seen it happen myself with the "add reminder" command.  Basically, I just perform the steps now:

 

1 - Okay, Google

2 - Add reminder

3 - Wait for prompt

4 - Speak reminder

5 - Wait for prompt

6 - Say, "Yes"
