Set Voice Control
Voice Control allows you to use your voice to control your iOS device.
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.
