Type instead of speaking to Siri on Apple TV
You can type Siri queries using the on-screen keyboard on Apple TV, a connected wireless Bluetooth keyboard or an iOS or iPadOS device. When Type to Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text instead of entering it.
Siri understands a wide range of queries and intuitively applies them to the current context whenever possible. To see some examples of what Siri can do, see Search for content and apps on Apple TV and Other things you can ask Siri on Apple TV.
