No, Apple does not make anything similar to the Alexa family of products from Amazon. However, Google has recently released its Google Home product that may satisfy your needs.

Hi. I don't think they would embark on a project like that. They can't even get dictation right as it's quite horrendous with the latest version of IOS and it's just been getting worse by each new version.

I disagree with dictation. I've actually had great success with the dictation feature under iOS 10, latest version works fine.

Hello!

Two things.

1. Apple doesn't make something similar to Echo. However, & this is just a rumor, but I heard a few months ago, a RUMOR that Apple ii working on a Siri Speaker. I haven't heard anything else about it, but it may 2 true. Im not sure. Worth keeping an eye on...

2. I think dictation is good. Ive had a few instances where what I've said is different than what it typed out (sometimes embarrassingly so!). But I do have 1 question. The ding used to be loud & stayed at that volume. Now, it fluxuates! Is there a way to turn the ding sound up? Sometimes it's barely audible. Any help woubd be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Dawn. Use Siri and as she or he, depending on what you set is talking, raise or lower the volume. Hope that helps.
