I built this after being inspired by a similar website, wanting to see if I could recreate it in Shortcuts. Original material: http: or or www.pangloss.com or seidel or shake_rule.html

Toggle Voice Control

Switches the Voice Control so you can issue commands to your device, giving you hands-free control of your devices.

Works great for Accessibility purposes, as well as simply using a device when you can’t reach it – I use this on my iPad Pro when it’s on the stand I have on my desk.
