iOS and iPadOS

I have a blind persion with other disabilities that is using her iPad with a bluetooth keyboard. She is not good at fine movement. Is there a keyboard shortcut for Siri? She used Type To Siri. She doesn¨’t talk. She is really good at learning and I have come far to help her.

Hey Siri command

Unfortunately there isn’t a key command for activating Siri. If possible try using the (Hey Siri) command to open Siri. Here are some links that mite help.

escape key

The escape key on a bluetooth keyboard acts as a home button, so pressing and holding it should reveal SIRI.

HTH

Thanks Tyler

Anastasia does manage to say Hey Siri but there is indeed an escape key on her keyboard so she can access Siri that way, ad not just Siri, Anastasia has easy access to the app switcher. Anastasia is using a keyboard similar to mine, a keyboard in a case, and it is so easy for her to just hold it. Thanks for all your help.
