Hi all,

I am using a UIViewControllerRepresentable that wraps the INUIAddVoiceShortcutButton and presents the INUIAddVoiceShortcutViewController for the user to be able to add my shortcut to Siri.

In the past I remember the interaction involved recording a voice trigger (sample article with reference screenshots, https://bit.ly/3ee1Avf

However iOS14 seems to have removed this interaction and wants to add the shortcut straight to Siri?

Can someone confirm that this is true and there no longer a way to trigger recording the voice prompt?

My usecase might be a little more unique where we are building apps for an ingdigenous language program in Australia and we want Siri to trigger on

What' Wiradjuri for ...

which obviously is not an English word.

Thanks for any points and appreciate you sparing your time to read/respond.

The design of INUIAddVoiceShortcutViewController varies based on the iOS version it is running on. Older iOS versions use a recorded phrase, while newer iOS versions only require the phrase be specified through text entry. This is not something that you can control through the SiriKit API.

If you're finding that Siri is not recognizing the indigenous words, please use Feedback Assistant to open a bug report, and please provide examples of the words and phrases. Post the FB number here once you've done so.
