You will experience that when you use Voice search feature in Google App on Android and iPhone.

They brought it to web via Google chrome web browser last year and its quite useful for people who use google search regularly.

If the laptop or desktop microphone gain is not high then google may find it difficult to process your voice.

If you want to use this voice search feature regularly then you may consider upgrading your microphone for better gain and quick answers.

This is mainly because of permission requirements with the computer you are using.

When you enable OK Google feature in Chrome browser, it will prompt you with a dialog box requesting permission to access your microphone for listening to your queries.

You have to accept and allow Google Chrome to use your microphone to make this one work.

Then you can open any new tab to access voice search feature.

In mac i have tested that it is faster and gets ready to listen for our command even when i said OK GO, i didnt complete the word google but its ears are so close to the microphone.

This microphone icon indicates that Chrome is now listening for OK Google followed by commands that you want to ask Google.

Optionally you may help google improve voice search by sending the sound of OK Google and few more seconds before that to Google servers.

If you dont want to send any data to google servers then you may Uncheck the box and give OK in that prompt.
