Learn how to use Siri Shortcuts to automate tasks with your voice.My Siri Shortcuts library. Here, I have taken the shortcut that pulls the word of the day from Merriam Webster’s site and have added the action of taking that text and sending it to the Notes app where I have a running list of words.Order food, send payments, and more using nothing but your voice and Siri Shortcuts. Word of the Day is a shortcut that’s available in the Gallery section of the Shortcuts app. As with any learning, it is good to start with an example and see how to build on that. Teaching myself to use Shortcuts has been great for satisfying that need.

In the Learn Something New section, you will find Word of the Day. If you tap on it, you’ll be presented with a collection of shortcuts that have already been created for you. When you open Shortcuts, at the bottom of the screen you will see Gallery on the right-hand side. Add the Open App action to your shortcuts library and pick the app.

Let’s take it step by step. It makes use of the List function—it chooses an item from the list at random and speaks the text that is parsed from the results. When the Bingo cage we ordered didn’t arrive on time, I sat down and created this shortcut in just a few minutes. When you run your shortcut, an alert will pop up that shows you the Word of the Day and gives you the option to save the word to Notes.Here’s a fun one, the Bingo shortcut I created for my daughter’s birthday. To do this, you delete the Quick Look command and replace it with the Create Note command. Instead of just reading the Word of the Day, I want to save it to Notes.

Tap and hold the List option, then drag it up and drop it in the work area. Type “list” into the search bar to find the list option. You now have your blank slate.

Get Item from List will display with a default of First Item. Find them by typing into the search bar and dragging them below your Bingo list. The next two items to add are Get Item from List and Speak Text. Tap each item and enter your letters, tapping Add new item when you need to add letters.

Add another List option below Speak Text, but this time enter the numbers one to fifty instead of the letters B I N G O. Now let’s add the letters to be called. Under Speak Text, leave the default settings.

Place a Get Variable command directly under the If, and tap Choose Variable. In the If Statement, Choose Input Is Greater Than and 0 for the Number. You will need to put commands under each of those items. Dragging your If command will set up If, Otherwise, and End If points in your shortcut. Press the Play button at the top of the screen to preview your Bingo Shortcut.At this point, we need to work with an If statement to tell the shortcut to run an average over the last seven days.

Drag Calculate Statistics under Get Variable and change the Operation to Average. Choose that, and it will populate your Get Variable with Health Samples. Under Find Health Samples Where, you will now see Health Samples with a heart icon in front of it. When you choose this, it will change your display and show you the variables that occur from each statement.

Drag Calculate Statistics and change the Operation to Sum. Next, you will use the Find Health Samples Where again, but this time we are going to have our Start Date as today and group it by Day. Drag another Get Variable under Round Number and repeat the steps to change your variable to Health Samples. Change the Round to Right of Decimal and Mode to Always Round Up.
