For Android

A voice camera that works the same on every Android phone.

Voice shutters on Android depend on your phone's brand and camera app. Phone Take A Photo works the same way on any supported Android phone: say “take a photo” and it shoots.

Why a dedicated voice camera on Android?

Some Android camera apps hide a voice-trigger option deep in their settings, and Google Assistant can sometimes take a photo with a countdown. Whether you get those, and how well they work, varies by manufacturer and model. Phone Take A Photo gives you one consistent experience:

• “Take a photo” to shoot, as many times as you like.
• “Start recording” / “stop recording” for video.
• Offline speech recognition, with no account and no upload.
• Clap shutter for loud places.
• Bluetooth microphone support for long distances.

Get started

1. Install Phone Take A Photo from Google Play (free).
2. Grant camera and microphone permissions. If you denied them, open Settings → Apps → Phone Take A Photo → Permissions.
3. Prop the phone up, step back and say “take a photo.”

Tips for Android

• Turn off battery optimisation for the app if your phone aggressively pauses apps, so listening doesn't stop mid-shoot.
• For long distances, pair Bluetooth earbuds and choose them as the microphone.
• A cheap phone tripod with a clamp is the best $15 you'll spend on photos of yourself.
