Here are a couple things that might be helpful.
Both came to me from the Flying Blind Magazine.

Here is an updated list of the commands you can give Siri, with some more being found in the comments after the post:

I like telling Siri to turn on or off low power mode.
It seems if you ask the right questions, you’ll get the response you need even with things not listed in this post.
Really helpful though.
Next iOS 9.3 has some new tricks for us.
iOS 9.3 has been released, and there are several changes, some of which relate to accessibility. Here is an AppleVis podcast on the matter:

So, hope you all get something from these.

I am using my IPhone 6S right now and I notice that these links are not working for me.
Now supposedly, you can copy and paste from an IPhone, I've even done it a cople of
times, but it is *really* hard for me. Anyone else having that problem? I use a bluetooth
keyboard, and love it, (when it works). I can't download 9.3 until I can get to a WiFi
connection which might not be for a while. <sniffle>

lol, I love siri! but, I don't use her much because she says, "I don't
understand" interesting though that if you ask siri how old is a superhero,
she'll answer!

I didn't see the part about the new Siri commands. Interested in those, I'll have to find a place to just read rather than go through a long podcast describing everyone else and their cat first and then get to the actual thing you want to know. Lol

Many aren't new there just a list of them.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply they are all new.
The Siri list isn't a podcast, the other is, and talks about new features as far as accessibility in 9.3.
Also to upgrade it was actually easier for me to do them with the phone.

There are some great little details in the "how to" on SIRI. I haven't listened to the podcast though, because of similar reasons stated above. I like podcasts, but I find many of them a little meandering.

I learned some things from the podcast. And I did learn some things from the Siri article. And I was reminded of a few other things from the Siri article.

the odd thing with my iPhone. I'm using male Siri. And when telling Siri to make a call, it doesn't work but if you say it clear it does. Why does Siri flake like that at times? It sometimes when asking it to call someone, gives me something to do with it being online.

Depends on your voice and noise in the room and lots of other factors.
