Get information with Siri on Mac

You can use Siri to get information from the web, your contacts, and apps. You can also ask Siri to spell or translate words, perform calculations and conversions, and more. When Location Services is turned on in Privacy & Security settings, Siri even provides information based on location—like coffee shops near you.
