Start a Voice Search
Opens the Google app and activates Voice Search, letting you use Google dictation in place of Apple’s before performing a Google Search.
Embiggen
Increase the text size on your device (and reset it) as needed. Includes options for “Easier,” “Monitor Stand” (my custom setup), and “Defaults.”

Toggle Voice Control
Switches the Voice Control so you can issue commands to your device, giving you hands-free control of your devices.
