Siri on your Mac
Use Siri on your iMac to do everyday tasks and find information. For example, you can schedule meetings, change settings, get answers, send messages, place calls, and add items to your calendar. If you turn on the “Listen for” option in Siri settings, you can activate Siri with your voice when you say “Hey Siri” or “Siri,” and immediately speak your request.
Throughout this guide, you can find examples of how you could use Siri—they look like this:
Siri: Say to Siri:
“How do I get home from here?”
“How high is Mount Whitney?”
“Create a new grocery list.”
