I am a quadriplegic. That means when I ask Siri something she comes back with an answer saying this is what I found on the web. This means nothing to me because I cannot use my fingers to pick up the phone.

I I get a better and more detail from Alexa or Google nest. Go ahead and Google and or and Apple AI actually intelligent

I am a quadriplegic and I fully depend on voice assistants. When Siri says “here’s what I found on the web” it is not helpful for me because I cannot use my hands to open links and read websites.

Alexa and Google Nest usually give direct spoken answers. I hope Apple improves Siri and Apple AI to give better voice responses instead of just web results. Accessibility should mean real hands free help.

Hello.

If you are unable to use your hands are but able to view the screen, consider exploring the accessibility technology called “voice control”.

It allows you to navigate the entire device via voice commands. Some third party apps will have better support than others but if you “show numbers” you should be able to work around some of implementation deficiencies you run across.

Note: Voice Control is very rigid in the commands it accepts and the descriptions of items on the UI.

Apple has announced that this will change this fall when they release an so fueled update to voice control.

There are also rumors of a far more capable Siri being available this far as well, but if that doesn’t happen you should still receive the voice control updates.
