How to Take Screenshot with Voice Control on iPhone

It is not always easy to use your hands on iPhone when you are in cold outside or you are doing something in the middle and not able to use hands, such as cooking. Indeed, there are circumstances where we need more effective ways to use our iPhone instead of using hands to press physical buttons. Take a specific example, when learning on the internet during cooking, you may need to take screenshots and save them for future reference. Pressing physical buttons to make that happen is not the best option. Here comes a more effective solution - take a screenshot with voice control. Isn’t it amazing? Read on to see how the magic happens!

Part 1: Siri vs. Voice Control

Have you heard about voice control on iPhone? I bet you did though it is not used all the time. Literally, voice control is a very basic app designed for use in devices without an internet connection. It does all it's processing locally and has a very basic set of commands that it can understand. With Voice Control, you can navigate and interact with your device using your voice to tap, swipe, type, and more. But your device must be iOS 13 or later. Some of you may wonder whether voice control is the same as Siri. Honestly, they share some common functions but in the meanwhile they are different in most cases. Siri, on the other hand, is cloud based. Siri, the assistant, uses voice queries and a natural-language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of Internet services.

In general, Siri is cloud-based which requires internet access to fulfill tasks queried by users in most cases while voice control can perform basic commands like “wipe down” “long press” “take screenshots” even if no network is available.
