Best Features of Siri:
It can answer all your queries and search for answers, as well as complete the tasks you ask for. It’s the ideal assistant for anyone, and it fits in a tiny gadget. Siri is an amazing assistant that can be used to make life easier.
Many funny parodies have been posted about Siri since its debut on the Web. Siri is seen saying things that are not programmed by its system. In fact, it will basically say anything the video maker requests.
If your iPhone isn’t on silent, when you connect it to a power source (wired or wireless), you will hear an iconic chime to let you know that charging has started

While there’s no way to disable the chime in iOS 14, you can have Siri say whatever you want once you establish a connection. This trick makes a custom sound or song play anytime the iPhone is connected to or disconnected from a charger. A great companion to Apple’s charging chime, “connect_power.caf,” is having your iOS device speak to you every time it detects power.
How to get Siri to say something?
Here are the things that help you activate Siri:
1. Start a New Automation:
To begin, go to the Shortcuts application’s “Automation” tab. Then hit the plus (+ sign), followed by “Create Personal Automation.” You can tap “Create Personal Automation”, instead if the plus (+) is not visible.
2. Choose the ‘Charger’ Trigger
A trigger is what allows you to execute the action. In this example, it’s when your iPhone is connected to a power source. Scroll down the list to select “Charger” and make sure that “Is Connected”, which is Siri’s default setting, is switched on. Choose “Is Disconnected” if Siri would 00923041173135 prefer to speak when you disconnect from the power. You can even create an automation for each. Click “Next” to continue.
3. Add the ‘Speak Text’ Action
- You can now add the action you want to your automation. That is Siri speaking whenever your device is connected to a charging source (or unplugged from one).
- Tap on the search bar or “Add Action” and type in “Speak.” The Actions section should have “Speak Text at the top”; tap it in order to add the action.
- Tap the blue “Text Bubble” button in the Speak Text action box to tell Siri what you want it to say when it runs. It can be as short or as long as you wish. Siri will not change the way you write, so capitalization isn’t necessary. However, punctuation does matter. You can use commas for a quick pause or a question mark to make it sound like you are asking a question.

- To change the sound quality, the language, or the pitch of your iPhone’s conversation, tap “Show More”. These options can be customized to your liking. To preview how the iPhone will sound, click on the play icon.
4. Disable ‘Ask Before Running’:
After you’ve completed adjusting the action (or sets of actions), tap “Next”, toggle off Ask Before Running, and confirm your selection with “Don’t Ask” at the prompt. Shortcuts won’t ask you to run the automation every single time it’s triggered. Once you’re done, hit “Done.”
5. Connect Your iPhone to Power:
You will hear Siri speak regardless of whether you connect your iPhone to a Lightning or wireless charger. You will receive a notification letting you know that automation is in progress. This will also include the text you have typed. You can see below how the automation works when you plug a Lightning cable into a power adapter.

How does Siri Work?
Apple’s smart assistant, which can be activated from any Apple device, is as easy as a tap, press, or wake command. With the universal wake word “Hey Siri”, you can send commands and queries to almost any Apple device.
Talking will cause your command to be processed locally. This is done to check if the task can be performed on the device. If it can’t, your command is processed locally and sent to Apple with a random number. All voice data is encrypted at the end, so there is no risk of Apple or any other party looking.
Third-party programmers can access Apple APIs to create custom functions. Regulators were eager to see devices like the HomePod. This was because they felt Apple gave too much preference to its services. Now, companies have the ability to use APIs to add services such as Spotify to the HomePod.
Translation Feature:
Siri can use the Translate app on iOS 14 to translate conversations in real-time. The app recognizes the language used by the speaker and can translate it automatically. Translate displays both the conversation and translations when it is held in landscape mode. The Translate app can be used offline and provides two-way translation for the following languages:
- English
- Mandarin Chinese
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Arabic
- Portuguese
- Russian
