Use Voice Control to interact with Apple Vision Pro
You can control Apple Vision Pro with just your voice. Speak commands to perform gestures, interact with interface elements, dictate and edit text, and more.
Set up Voice Control
Before you turn on Voice Control for the first time, make sure Apple Vision Pro is connected to the internet over a Wi-Fi network. After Apple Vision Pro completes a one-time file download from Apple, you don’t need an internet connection to use Voice Control.
Go to Settings
Tap Set Up Voice Control, then tap Continue to start the file download.
When the download is complete,
appears in the status bar to indicate Voice Control is turned on.Set options such as the following:
Language: Set the language and download languages for offline use.
Vocabulary: Teach Voice Control new words.
Show Confirmation: When Voice Control recognises a command, a visual confirmation appears at the top of your view.
Play Sound: When Voice Control recognises a command, an audible sound is played.
Show Hints: See command suggestions and hints.
Overlay: Display numbers, names or a grid over interface elements.
Turn Voice Control on or off
After you set up Voice Control, you can turn it on or off quickly by using any of the following methods:
Activate Siri and say “Turn on Voice Control”.
Say “Turn off Voice Control”.
Add Voice Control to Accessibility Shortcuts — go to Settings
Learn Voice Control commands
When Voice Control is turned on, you can say commands such as the following:
“Open Control Centre”
“Go home”
“Tap item name”
“Open app name”
“Take screenshot”
“Turn up volume”
To learn more Voice Control commands, say “Show me what to say” or “Show commands”, or go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control, then tap Open Voice Control Guide
Use a screen overlay
For faster interactions, you can navigate Apple Vision Pro with a screen overlay that shows item names, numbers or a grid.
Item names: Say “Show names” or “Show names continuously”, then say “Tap [item name]”.
Numbers: Say “Show numbers” or “Show numbers continuously”, then say the number next to the item you want. You can also give a command to perform a gesture, such as “Tap [number]”, “Long-press [number]”, “Swipe up at [number]” or “Double-tap [number]”.
Grid: To interact with a screen location not represented by an item name or number, say “Show grid” or “Show grid continuously”, then do any of the following:
Drill down: Say a number to show a more detailed grid.
Say a command to interact with an area of the grid: Say something like “Tap [number]” or “Zoom in on [number]”.
Tip: To adjust the number of grid rows and columns, go to Settings
To turn off the overlay, say “Hide names”, “Hide numbers” or “Hide grid”.
Switch between dictation mode, spelling mode and command mode
When you’re working in a text input area — for example, writing a document, email or message — you can easily switch between dictation mode, spelling mode and command mode as needed. In dictation mode (the default), any words you say that aren’t Voice Control commands are entered as text. In command mode, those words are ignored and aren’t entered as text; Voice Control responds only to commands. Command mode is especially helpful when you need to use a series of commands and want to prevent what you say from inadvertently being entered in a text input area.
When you’re in dictation mode and need to spell out a word, say “Spelling mode”. To switch back to Dictation mode, say “Dictation mode”.
To switch to Command mode, say “Command mode”. When Command mode is on, a dark icon of a crossed-out character appears in the text input area to indicate you can’t dictate. To switch back to Dictation mode, say “Dictation mode”.
