Starting Glassware

You can start your own Glassware by declaring a voice command that is associated with your Glassware. Adding a voice command also adds a touch menu if your users choose to tap instead of speak commands.

You can also start system-provided Glassware, such as navigation or the web browser to carry out certain actions for you, so you don’t have to rewrite functionality.

Starting your own Glassware

For information on starting your Glassware from the Home menu (Clock card), see the Voice [TODO: SWITCH LINK] developer guide.
