    iPhone 15 Pro Can newer iPhones take voice and Siri commands while music is playing?

    A friend of mine was showing his new Google Pixel 9 XL and he was able to use voice commands to pause or stop music that is playing, videos that are playing, etc. When I'm doing the same things on my iPhone XR it doesn't hear me so I have to physically touch the screen to stop anything that is...

    Voice Control Red I Icon - App not compatible?

    What does this red "I" with a slash through it mean? More advanced voice controls don't seem to be available, e.g. "delete previous three words" when this icon shows up. However, I can't find reference to that icon anywhere to confirm that voice control is saying that it's not compatible. Can...

    I activated Voice Control in Monterrey 12.3.1 and noticed a continued use of 30-50% of one of the Efficiency cores within the M1 Pro Max CPU, is this normal? With all the processors, co-processors, ML processors, etc.inside the Apple Silicon, I would have expected that a Standby Voice Control...

    Dragon Dictate (or whatever Nuance calls it) now crashes in macOS 11

    Dragon Dictate WAS working fine on my Apple silicon MacBook Pro, but today (2021-02-24) it crashed. I guess that Nuance has pulled the plug in macOS 11 and later, or the old code couldn't keep up. My new M1 MacBook Pro inherited the final version of Nuance's Dragon dictation app through...

    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...

    Trigger SIRI without Keyboard

    This has probably come up here already, however, I just installed the latest 10.15 Public Beta on a 2017 27" iMac. I enabled Voice Control as soon as 10.15 was installed and said "Open Siri" and it triggers SIRI perfectly. So that's really handy. I understand using the keyboard for many might...

    Thoughts on Voice Control from someone who will use it.

    I was watching the keynote but had an appointment I needed to get to. I missed the segment about Catalina. However, I went to their website and looked at the page describing all the new features. I watched the Voice Control video and loved it. Awesome! I think Apple nailed it. The reason I will...

    Home Are Smart Assistants (Siri, Alexa, OK Google) a regional thing?

    I've long been baffled by the amount of people talking about smart assistants online and their uses; people genuinely talking about how they like Amazon stuff better because Alexa is better than Siri, talking about buying one product over the other based largely on the smart assistant or how...

    iPhone Voice control for music doesn't work anymore - iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3

    Hi guys, Since I've upgraded to iOS 11, I can't use voice control (not Siri!) to control my music anymore. The only commands for music accepted are the simple ones, the ones with no names of artist, album or music, like: "play/stop music"; "nest/previous track"; Volume up/down". The only...
