- Wait for the long beep, then say the vocal command.
- After 2-3 seconds, you will hear a chime and the device will respond.
NOTE: The double tap for using vocal commands needs to be quick. When you do it correctly, you'll hear a long beep. If the taps are too slow, you'll hear the shutter sound of device taking a picture. If you find the double tap challenging, use the 'Hey OrCam' option below.
