4. Set options such as the following:

• • Language: Set the language and download languages for offline use.
  • Customize Commands: View the available commands and create new commands.
  • Vocabulary: Teach Voice Control new words.
  • Show Confirmation: When Voice Control recognizes a command, a visual confirmation appears at the top of the screen.
  • Play Sound: When Voice Control recognizes a command, an audible sound is played.
  • Show Hints: See command suggestions and hints.
  • Overlay: Display numbers, names, or a grid over screen elements.
  • Attention Aware: On an iPad with Face ID, Voice Control wakes up when you look at your iPad and goes to sleep when you look away.

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….
