Part III: Intelligent interactions with Gemini on Android
9. When you’re looking at a web page, a document, or any other type of text on your Android device and you aren’t in a position to read it with your own two eyes — if, for instance, you’re walking, driving, or climbing high atop a towering tree in Narnia — get Gemini, tap that same “Ask about screen” button we went over a second ago, and say Read this out loud. Just please, for the sake of our collective sanity, put in your frickin’ earbuds first.
10. If, on the other hand, you want a summarized version of something on your screen, follow those same steps from the previous tip but this time say Summarize this. Gemini will start to speak a simple summary of the info aloud to you (provided you spoke aloud to it), or you can press the pause button and read its streamlined overview yourself if you’d rather.
11. Speaking of summarizing, Gemini’s (non-milk-related) condensing powers also extend to the domain of YouTube — where a quick ‘n’ simple summarization can sometimes really be useful. Use that same “Ask about screen” button again while you’ve got a video in front of ye and say Summarize this video.
