Hi, As the title, I figure out the throughput of iAP2(BT) is bad while launching siri. So that I want to reduce the data during using siri. Is any way to get that event? Search a lot I find a workaround solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/54822234/4562870. But in some case, it will be failed. Is any idea for getting start & stop siri event? Please help or try to give some ideas how to achieve this. Thanks!

I have a custom intent that allows a user to start a meeting - they don’t have to pick up their phone at all to start/join the meeting. This works perfectly on device - the intent is created, confirmed, and goes to the custom intent handle(intent:completion:) function where I call completion(StartMeetingIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)). This opens the app and starts the meeting - all hands-free. When my device is connected via CarPlay, this intent can’t be completed. It gets all the way to where I call completion(StartMeetingIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)), then Siri responds with “Sorry, I can’t do that while you’re driving.” It never makes it to my app delegate, where I have implemented application(_:userActivity:restorationHandler:) and would expect my app to pick up the activity to start the meeting. Why is this happening? I have implemented the INStartCallIntent similarly - calling completion(INStartCallIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)) and that intent works just fine when connected to CarPlay, but my app has a distinction between calling and meeting so I really need both to work.

I have implemented a custom intent that has several parameters. One of the parameters is called "dimensions". I would like to give the user a hint on what to say to respond to the Siri Dialog Prompt for the dimensions parameter. For example, if the Siri Dialog Prompt is "What are the dimensions?", I would like to have a one time prompt that says "What are the dimensions? You can say something like 2 x 4 x 35 inches". Thereafter, I would like to fall back to having Siri only say "What are the dimensions?". Is this possible?

Hi, I have a question regarding the integration of the speech to text library called SFSpeechRecognizer. I need SFSpeechRecognizer to recognize terms that are not present in the iOS dictionary like medication names, chemistry terms, etc. I would have to add them, somehow, for SFSpeechRecognizer to be able to recognise them. Is this possible? Thanks

We are currently experiencing a usability issue in our App. We also discovered this issue for sites in Safari as well. While using Voiceover in iOS 13.3+, we've discovered that VO skips all tables that are using a caption. This occurs when a user swipes to read the contents of the page. We also observed that using the "rotor" and choosing tables, it will not recognize that there is a table on the page. This has been repeated by multiple users on different devices. Our testing also encompassed VO on macOS Catalina and VO worked as expected for all tables we tested. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Hi everyone I am having a problem with Siri Spotlight/app suggestions partially not working. Started on iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 14 beta and now it is still present in new iPhone 12 pro max on official iOS 14 release.  they will work for some time time and then I swipe down and nothing shows just a search bar. If I type in it all magically appears again and will work fine for an unspecified time. Then to crash again.  did everything, all kinds of resets and even restore via cable and mac, it will just not work.  Apple support didn’t help much.  it seems to work fine if I have nothing installed beside Apple apps. When I install at least one or two third party apps it starts to act funny with the spotlight page.  so Apple has the solution for this yet or even aware of the issue?

If I say "Hey Siri, turn down the temperature" Siri will switch the thermostat from Heat Only to Auto and try to cool the house to the new temperature. It's currently -17 outside so I don't want it to do this, just lower the thermostat setting, nothing else. There must be a way to prevent Homekit from arbitrarily changing the thermostat's mode, especially without confirming it somehow.

I am adding Siri Shortcuts to my navigation app. I understood in order to use Siri voice to trigger shortcuts, for custom intents, the users have to add voice phrases or record voice for shorctus by Add to Siri button or built-in Shortcuts app; for system intents, the users don't need to do that because Siri already knows all the trigger voice phrases. But when I say "Navigate to the station using Google Maps", the whole shortcut works without adding to Siri manullay. And based on https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit, I couldn't find any system intents related to Navigation Domain. Did I misunderstand anything here? How could Siri and Google Maps exchange intents here without system navigation intents or adding to Siri manually?

I am working on a Siri integration for a VoIP application. I've added values for both INAlternativeAppName and INAlternativeAppNamePronunciationHint under INAlternativeAppNames in the app target's info.plist. On iOS 14, the phrase "Call [number] using [alternate app name]" launches my app and initiates a VoIP call. on iOS 15, Siri responds with "I don't see an app for that. You'll need to download one." to the same phrase. Is this functionality broken in iOS 15? Here is INAlternativeAppName in my info.plist: <key>INAlternativeAppNames</key> <array> <dict> <key>INAlternativeAppName</key> <string>dialer</string> <key>INAlternativeAppNamePronunciationHint</key> <string>dial er</string> </dict> </array>

Very recently my Apple TV started pausing anytime I turn off [HomeKit] connected lights in my house using Siri. It happens every time I tell Siri to turn off a light - whether using Siri on my HomePod, Apple Watch, or iPhone. I'm using the most current operating systems for all devices. It happens every time - no matter which light or lights I control. I have Hue lights and Sengled lights - both are affected the same way. Very very very frustrating. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

I cant seem to find anywhere else to submit this so hopefully I can get an answer here. For some reason, voice control has been randomly popping up over the past few months for seemingly no reason. I recently got so fed up with it, I spent a while researching how to get this to stop and I found a few sources that said I could disable voice control by going into my "accessibility" settings etc... AND IT STILL DOES IT. I even went in a disabled every toggle I could find. What do I need to do to prevent voice control from popping up on my phone randomly.

Where do I find and how do I install Accessory Developer Profile for CarPlay/Enhanced Siri? I do not see it anywhere in developer.apple.com/download. I am running the (MFI) CarPlay Tests 2.7 app on my 2 iPhone 7's, each with iOS 15.4.0 installed. Main and Accessory are paired and Main shows it's connected to my Head Unit. When I start the Enhanced Siri Detector Quality test on Main, it shows a popup: Feature not supported Make sure you have the Accessory Developer Profile installed with Enhanced Siri enabled, and you're running on the latest iOS version. Please, also check if your HeadUnit supports this feature. I know my HeadUnit supports this feature because I am able to run it when an iPhone 8 with iOS 15.4.0 is set up as Main. I now need to run it on my iPhone 7. I didn't have to set up this profile on the iPhone 8. I have Siri enabled on this iPhone 7 Main.

Hello, My app is facing a crasher with users albeit not a lot just a couple here and there. I've been trying to figure out the root cause but I'm not getting much information. Has anyone experienced this before? This is where the crash happens: 1 IntentsUI -[INUIEditVoiceShortcutViewController remoteViewControllerDidDeleteVoiceShortcutWithIdentifier:] + 88 2 IntentsUI -[INUIVoiceShortcutHostViewController remoteViewControllerDidDeleteVoiceShortcutWithIdentifier:] + 100 Not sure if it's related to something on my end as there are no memory leaks and I tested on device. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it is good that you were giving Siri another voice however I don’t think Siri should lose her old voice. Equity is about giving everyone what they need some people have trouble with changes, some people find it comforting to have a female voice some people find it comforting to have a male voice, some people find it comforting to have a neutral voice I love 💕 Siri just the way she is! whoever programs her jokes are very funny and makes me smile. I hope you are you considering giving options of Siri voice or are you going to be changing Siri’s voice for everyone?

Hi, I've been working on a project that utilizes the Web Speech API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API. However, I've noticed some strange behavior in the newest versions of Safari on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. One issue that occurs regularly is that the text input will repeat after voice input has ended. This can be seen on this demo provided by Google: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html This was not happening when I tested on 14.1 (the version I upgraded from). Upon debugging, it appears the doubling of text is included in transcriptions that are not flagged as isFinal, as well as transcriptions that are, which makes me think that something isn't working properly in the implementation of the API. Anecdotally, the speech synthesis appears to be much less accurate now as well, and I've noticed some odd behavior when I set the continuous flag to false as well. The API delegates the actual speech synthesis work to Siri, so I'm wondering why there would be a different here compared to using dictation in other apps. My main question is: has anyone else run into problems like this? If so, how are you working around them?
