    "Listen for Siri" option missing in settings

    The "Listen for Siri" option is missing in settings. Is this an error, or is Apple deprecating that on MacOS? If so, does anyone know why? Seems really stupid, as Siri was just beginning to become almost useful.

    How to edit custom vocabulary for Voice Control (Siri) in Catalina?

    I'd like to add a large number of words used in my work to Voice Control. However, the UI in the Accessibility preference panel only allows entering one word at a time. In Catalina, I believe Voice Control with US English uses Siri's voice recognition. I can't find the dictionary or other...

    Typed Siri Commands in Shortcuts?

    Since the Apple Music app doesn't display song release dates, unless you navigate to the album, I want to type out the Siri command "When was this song released" to run as a shortcut. Is that possible?

    Offline Siri

    There was a mention that parts of Siri, such as voice recogtion and dictation, would be available offline in iOS 14.

    I’ve just discovered something... Maybe everyone else knows already, but I didn’t until this week (even though I thought I was proficient with my AW!)... I’d been waiting for radio apps like TuneIn to start streaming live radio to the cellular Apple Watch without a phone being present. Can’t...
