Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries and regions on iOS , watchOS, and macOS. Siri availability and features vary by language and country or region. Earlier iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch models with iOS 8 or later might also support 'Hey Siri' while plugged into power.

In a nutshell, you need to create a custom keyboard shortcut for Siri and then set up a dictation command to activate that shortcut.In detail, here are the steps to create the 'Hey, Siri' command:Step 1: Go to System Preferences > Siri and choose a custom keyboard shortcut. Option 4: Enable 'Hey, Siri'Apple doesn't offer a switch to enable the 'Hey, Siri' command with MacOS Sierra as it does with iOS 10, but there is a workaround that Reddit user jdcampbell found. You can set your own keyboard shortcut, however, in System Preferences > Siri. Option 3: Use a keyboard shortcutThe default keyboard shortcut for activating Siri is pressing and holding Command-spacebar. Option 2: The Siri icon in the menu barIf you don't see a Siri icon in the menu bar in the upper-right corner of your screen, then go to System Preferences > Siri and check the box for Show Siri in menu bar.

And for reasons that escape me, dictation didn't recognize Apple's suggested keyboard shortcut of Function-Spacebar.) For my custom Siri shortcut, I chose Command-S.
