What Shortcut to Make SIRI Talk on Mac with Apple Intelligence?

Hi,


I was wondering, how can I talk to SIRI with a shortcut from the keyboard?

Because with Apple Intelligence, there is no option anymore. Before there was cmd+space, but now it's not working.

The shortcut works now only to type to SIRI, for example clicking double cmd. And if I want to talk, I need also to type the voice icon, and then again the return key to get the answer. Way more complicated.



I don't want to use HEY SIRI because it's activated on my iPhone as well.


Before it was very straight forward, one shortcut only (cmd+space) and SIRI would immediately talk and immediately give the answer after the question. Now it's more complicated, and more clicking to have the same experience from the keyboard.


Do you have any idea? Something I missed?

Thanks

Hello David_EU,


Do you have the F5 function key on your keyboard with a mic icon? If you press and hold, this button launches Siri in "Talk to Siri" mode. It's a bit of a reach compared to your previous shortcut, but this is probably the quickest way to accomplish your goal while using the Apple Intelligence version of Siri.

Have a nice day.

You're welcome. On my end, I keep the Siri voice command disabled on my iPhone whenever it is locked so that I can quickly use the Siri voice command on my MacBook without two devices answering. I use the type to Siri all the time for quick mathematical calculations or complicated questions; it's so accessible. Anyways, improvements often come with some compromises, so I'm sorry you got caught in the midst of one of them. :)
