On compatible Apple devices, myTuur supports Siri and app shortcuts. For the public help center, we should only name the phrases that are actually configured in the iOS code as AppShortcut phrases.
In the current iOS code, these Siri actions are backed by fixed app shortcut phrases:
StartDiscoveryTourIntent
StopDiscoveryTourIntent
PlayAudioIntent
PauseAudioIntent
NextStopIntent
PreviousStopIntent
ShowNearbyIntent
ShowFoodNearbyIntent
WhatCanIDoIntent
EventTicketsIntent
The app shortcut phrases in the code always include the app name. For German, these exact phrases are configured:
myTuur City Guide App - Starte die Entdeckertour
myTuur City Guide App - Entdeckertour starten
myTuur City Guide App - Beende die Entdeckertour
myTuur City Guide App - Entdeckertour beenden
myTuur City Guide App - Starte Audio
myTuur City Guide App - Pausiere Audio
myTuur City Guide App - Naechster Spot
myTuur City Guide App - Vorheriger Spot
myTuur City Guide App - Zeig Spots in der Naehe
myTuur City Guide App - Zeige mir Spots in meiner Naehe
myTuur City Guide App - Zeige mir wo ich Essen gehen kann
myTuur City Guide App - Was kann ich machen
myTuur City Guide App - Prufe Tickets
The code also contains English phrases for the same actions, for example:
myTuur City Guide App - Start discovery mode
myTuur City Guide App - Stop discovery mode
myTuur City Guide App - Play audio
myTuur City Guide App - Show nearby spots
myTuur City Guide App - Check tickets
Important for users:
In practice, users normally say Hey Siri first. That is Siri system behavior and not part of the phrase configured in the app.
All of these intents open the app.
The Siri intents switch the app into the Explore context.
For public help, we should document the commands with the full app name rather than with free paraphrases.
Not every command is equally useful in every state:
Generally suitable: start the Discover Tour, show nearby spots, What can I do?, Check tickets
Only useful with an active context: start audio, pause audio, next spot, previous spot
In practice, this means:
If there is no active tour or running navigation, Siri can still open the app, but some commands will not always trigger a visible action.
For audio and spot commands, the user should ideally already be in an active tour or a fitting navigation session.
Important technical note:
Additional app intents such as PauseTourIntent, ResumeTourIntent and StopAudioIntent do exist in the code, but they are not part of the visible app shortcut phrase list. We should therefore not document them yet as fixed Siri voice commands.
The technically exact German phrases use ASCII in several places, for example Naechster, Naehe and Prufe. In the technical help article, we should name them exactly like that.
