Trigger microphone input manually?

by afavourifyouwill

I've been setting my Nvidia Shield up with a Harmony remote hub and it's working great so far, but it has no option to trigger voice input. Has anyone succeeded with that? Or from a Bluetooth keyboard?

(I already have an external mic that works great)

Add a mapping to Windows key. That triggers voice search. Btw which external mic are you using?

I purchased a PS3 Eye, but it does not recognize anything I say (at least on the latest Oreo update). What mic are you using that works?

Another option would be if we could keep the shield remote on at all times when connected and charging via USB. That way we can use the remote's mic when we hit the Windows key via harmony remote.
