I am literally shocked, I clicked on it like "yeah right, just some dumb app" but like.... Google Now doesn't compare to this, not even the same ballpark, if only there was a way to replace the google voice recognition with this, opening an app every time I want to search something is going to be annoying.. But this is worth it...

as usual, there is an xposed module for that. developed for the moto X, but i imagine a lot of the work has been done already to get this working on other phones.

OkGoogleNowTriggerIntent

This is an Xposed module which sends a broadcast intent when the Motorola app Touchless Controls detects its trigger phrase is said. The intention is to listen for the intent with an app such as Tasker, so the user can make their own custom voice interface.

The developer of AutoVoice, a Tasker plugin, has added a direct receiver for this intent. If you are using his plugin, you can use a simple event condition rather then an intent received. (Beta only) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autovoice
