Now you can start speaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You activate Siri by waking Apple Watch and saying <em>Hey, Sir<\/em>i. You can also display the Siri screen by pressing and holding the <em>Digital Crown<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you are not able to wake Siri using the <em>Hey, Siri<\/em> command, it means that the <em>Hey Siri<\/em> command is turned off. To turn the command on, click the <em>Digital Crown<\/em>, tap <em>Settings<\/em> on the <em>Home<\/em> screen, tap <em>General<\/em> and tap <em>Siri<\/em>. On the <em>Siri<\/em> screen, set the <em>Hey, Siri<\/em> switch to <em>On<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Let&#8217;s remind you that many apps automatically display the Siri screen on Apple Watch when appropriate. For example, when you tap Reply in the Messages app and then tap Dictate, the Siri screen will show automatically.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_to_Dictate_Text\">How to Dictate Text<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once the Siri feature knows which app it should direct your spoken input toward, you can simply dictate the text you want Siri to transcribe. For example, if you start a new text message, just speak the text you want to be included in your message. Siri will transcribe the text and then show it to you to be reviewed and approved.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Creating_New_Lines_and_Paragraphs\">Creating New Lines and Paragraphs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You can always create new lines and new paragraphs if you need to lay out the text you are entering. A new paragraph enters two lines breaks, creating a blank line between paragraphs. To create a new line, say: &#8211; <em>New line!<\/em> To create a new paragraph, say: &#8211; <em>New paragraph!<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Insert_Punctuation\">Insert Punctuation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To insert Punctuation, you should use standard terms, such as &#8220;comma&#8221;, &#8220;period&#8221; or &#8220;full stop&#8221;, &#8220;colon&#8221;, &#8220;semicolon&#8221;, &#8220;explanation point&#8221; (or &#8220;exclamation mark&#8221;), &#8220;question mark&#8221;, &#8220;hyphen&#8221;, &#8220;short dash&#8221;, &#8220;long dash&#8221;, &#8220;asterisk&#8221; (*), &#8220;ampersand&#8221; (&amp;), &#8220;open parenthesis&#8221;, &#8220;close parenthesis&#8221;, &#8220;open bracket&#8221;, &#8220;close bracket&#8221;, &#8220;underscore&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To insert double quotes, say &#8220;open quotes&#8221; \u00a0and &#8220;close quotes&#8221;. To insert single quotes, you say &#8220;open single quote&#8221; and &#8220;close single quote&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Control_Capitalization\">Control Capitalization<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is possible to apply capitalization to the first letter of a word or to a whole word. It is also possible to switch capitalization off to force lowercase.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Say <em>Cap<\/em> too capitalize the first letter of the next word.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Say <em>Caps On<\/em> to capitalize all the words. The text will be capitalized until you say <em>Caps Off<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Say <em>No Caps<\/em> if you want to prevent capitalization of the next word. For example, if you say <em>No Caps New York<\/em>, you see <em>new York<\/em> instead of <em>New York<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Say <em>No Caps<\/em> on to force lowercase of all words. The text will be lowercased until you say <em>No Caps Off<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"How_to_Insert_Standard_Symbols\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">How to Insert Standard Symbols<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To insert Symbols, use these terms: &#8220;at sign&#8221; (@), &#8220;percent&#8221; (%), &#8220;greater than&#8221; (&gt;), &#8220;less than&#8221; (&lt;), &#8220;forward slash&#8221; (\/), &#8220;backslash&#8221; (\\), &#8220;registered sign&#8221; (\u00ae), or &#8220;copyright sign&#8221; (\u00a9).<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_to_Insert_Currency_Symbols\">How to Insert Currency Symbols<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you want to insert currency symbols, just say the currency name and the word &#8220;sign&#8221;.
