It allows you to activate voice control or Siri using your voice instead of having hold down the dreaded home button. Once installed, the tweak allows you so say, "Siri." No matter what device you are on (voice control device, or Siri device), saying, "Siri" will activate voice control or Siri.

There are some settings to configure in this app that will help you control how easily it is ...
