Hi, guys, Yes, I use the Alex voice for everything, so I don't think that's a factor in my case. However, the question of more responsiveness after one press is definitely a factor. I only notice the delay the first time I press the key combo in a long time. Subsequent presses are much more responsive.
I will report this to Apple. Thanks, Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers.
