Update: To clarify: your phone is actually listening for you, and to you. Actively. If the Moto X is on, the microphones are on, and should be able to pick up your voice from about 30 meters away depending on your location.
There are also three microphones in the top, bottom and back of the phone for better vocal recognition in your car, in your pocket and on a table.
Original story
Motorola's newest device, the Moto X, is out in the open, and it brings with it a bevy of specialized features and applications.
Motorola has really taken their slogan "Made for you, responds to you, designed by you" to heart.
The Moto X is replete with touchless control where voice command is king and saying "OK Google Now" will activate your phone to do practically anything, but only if it's already turned on.
Responsive to you and you alone, there is a three step training process to learn your voice. If you have a similar voice with your buddy, there's a chance the Moto X will get confused however, Motorola has spent a lot of time making sure this happens as little as possible.
Need to set an alarm? Ask your Moto X. Want to listen to music? Your X is apparently waiting patiently for you to tell it what to do.
Though voice command only works to first party apps however it won't open third-party apps like Spotify.
Vocal range still has yet to be confirmed, but the engineer of the Motorola's Rick Osterloh claims range is good as he was able to make a phone call with the device in his pocket.
