Problems with Siri hearing me
I have a new MacBook Pro running Sonoma. I'm trying to get Siri to hear me, but there aren't controls to get it to work. I say Hey Siri and it does nothing. I have turned it on and off and retrained it several times now. I have to click on it every time to get it to respond. When I ask it how to keep it responding, or how to train it, or even why doesn't hey Siri work, It just keeps telling me about how important my privacy is, and pulls up irrelevant answers that have nothing to do with Siri. Once it has given me a list of websites, it stops listening to me.
Since I need this computer because I'm having trouble typing due to repetitive strain injuries, having to click back-and-forth constantly to get Siri to listen is defeating the purpose of the exercise. It works in the phone, why doesn't it work in the MacBook Pro? The dictation it's doing in this text box is exactly what I need! I just need it to see the rest of the computer, and the rest of whatever program I'm working in.
I've been all through the settings menus, and the Apple website.
I'm looking for a good tutorial that doesn't require me to watch a million videos and sit through basic things like how to turn on voice control. It's already on. I understand how to dictate, and "Hey Siri" works on every device I own except for this brand new MacBook pro. What gives?
