Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

On my Mac computer an icon has come onto the screen, picture of a microphone. When clicked on it either says wake up or sleep. Also talks occasionally. How do I get rid of this?

It is an accessibility feature— turn it off in System Preferences>Accessibility

Use the Accessibility Options panel on Mac - Apple Support

When Voice Control is enabled, you see an onscreen microphone representing the mic selected in Voice Control preferences.
