Google Adds a Relationship Option to Voice Search

Google has added a relationship option to its voice search on Androids. This means that people can voice search on their smartphones with relationship terms just like they do when searching for contacts.

The update is meant for people you have a particular familial connection to you in the "relationship" field in your contacts tool on your Android device. The function is also meant to allow the user to search saying phrases like, "text sister" of "call mom" instead of actually using their names listed in your phone.

In order for your contacts to be re-named on your Android device you need to allow the Google search app to access your contacts and the profile information attached to each and every contact on your list. The relationship option seems like an enhancement in convenience for people trying to search for a contact if they have a hefty list on their smartphone.
