Vocable leverages a device's Dictation and Siri capabilities for Listening Mode. The long term plan is to include information about this in the onboarding flow for how to setup listening mode properly; which device settings/permissions are required, etc. Until then we should update the copy for listening mode's "speech services unavailable" error message to inform users of what is needed for listening mode to function properly, instead of "please try again later".
Proposed New Message
"Speech services require the following features to be enabled on your device: Siri and Dictation. Please check your device settings as one or all of these may be disabled."
Repro Steps:
Device settings differ based on OS version and hardware, these steps work on an iPad Pro running 15.3.1
Open the Settings app
Open the Screen Time settings
Open Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > Siri & Dictation
Toggle the feature OFF
Launch or re-open Vocable
On the Main Screen, navigate to the 'Listen' category
Note the error message (screenshot below)
Acceptance Criteria:
[this AC still needs crafting] Mention that for listening mode to work best, Settings > General > Keyboard > Enable Dictation should be on
[this AC still needs crafting] Mention that for listening mode to work best, Settings > Siri & Search > "Hey Siri" and Press top button for Siri are enabled
Note: having at least one of this means Siri is enable on the device, but both of them off means Siri is not enabled.
