Google Voice Access app lets you control your phone entirely with your voice

Google's latest app called Voice Access lets you control you Android device using voice commands. The app is currently in beta stage and is aimed at users with disabilities such as hand tremors or paralysis.

With the Voice Access app, you can open an app by saying "open app name", (for instance 'Open Chrome' to open browser) and return to home screen by saying "go home". The app gives you access to some voice commands which can be used from anywhere in the smartphone's interface. It also overlays number for each items on the screen, and help you select an element without tapping or scrolling.

Google has a dedicated page from where you can download the Voice Access beta app, however, the page now says that app has enough tester, so you won't be able to download the app. If you want to use the app, you can download the Google signed-app from APK Mirror and manually install it.
