Siri not talking?

I enabled Alexa on my Fire Tablet.  (I guess.  I entered the app and followed the prompts.)  But how to use it?  Ah, you have to press down the home button.

Hey, let me try Siri on my ipad.  Haven't really used it all this time.  How do you activate it?   Ah, you have to press down the home button.

But Siri wasn't speaking to me.  Only displaying text.  I didn't see any easy answers by googling.  But I finally figured it out.  It's the settings in voice feedback.

Go to settings.  General.  Siri.  Voice Feedback.  Set it to Always On.  It had been on Hands-Free Only.

(Actually, it was the number 1 answer here.)
