Siri

If you have an iPad or iPhone made after 2011, you have an interactive speech recognition feature that Apple calls Siri.  Siri is activated by pressing and briefly holding the home button on the front of the device.  When you do this your device will give two short beeps, then you can start interacting with Siri.  If your device doesn’t give two beeps, make sure Siri is turned on in settings, or make sure your device is new enough to have this feature.  Take a look at this list of all the things Siri can do for you!
