  I haven't actually looked at in depth for a few OS releases (I was excited to make a voice CLI I could use with my watch, since I commuted by bike). I think they may have made some prgress since then, but I don't think the Speech.framework you linked to provides what we are talking about when we say a "CLI for voice". I think that API is only useful when you've already opened the app and it is able to record live audio (or process previously recorded audio). So you can't just be like, running from the feds and shout to your watch or phone, "Hey Siri, destroy evidence, password 'Rosebud'!" and have your arson app torch your meth lab.

    Hahaha! Nice one :D And here I am thinking about mundane applications such as: "Hey Siri, limit order 10 shares of ACME for $44.95" or "Hey Siri, call John Doe via WhatsApp" or "Hey Siri, invite John Doe and Jane Goodall to bowling on this Sunday 7PM via someSpecialCalendarAppThatIsNotTheStockCalendarApp"

      "Thank you, I've ordered 10 shares of AYME for $4495" The fundamental problem with voice assistants is an utter lack of common sense. Any human assistant not completely asleep at the wheel would flag the above because it's outside your normal patterns and ask for clarification. Voice assistants will just go ahead and do it. And then play a Siberian Metal Polka song because they thought they heard that too.
