How To Enable Siri On iPhone, iPad And Mac To Read Text?

To enable Siri on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to read text instead of speaking, follow these instructions:

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go to "Accessibility" > "Siri".
  3. Toggle on "Type to Siri" to enable typing Siri commands.

When you activate Siri after enabling "Type to Siri," you'll be presented with a keyboard to input your request instead of speaking.

Once enabled, you can click Siri in the menu bar or press a keyboard shortcut to open the Siri window to type your commands.

Please note that the Don't Disturb settings on your device, such as turning off notifications or muting, may affect whether Siri responds in text or spoken form.
