Siri voice!

[anon(4697585)]

I'm in the UK and we don't have the woman voice, we have a male who sounds an awful lot like the original voice of Knight Rider! As it links in with my car bluetooth I simply tap a button and I'm Michael Knight! Such a great feature and hopefully a
Little planned by apple. What do you think he/she sounds like?

That's cool...i wish it would give us a choice, not that i mind the female voice.

Personally, i think the female voice sounds like a female version of Stephen Hawking, lol...

In case anyone was curious what the other voice sound like, you can change them in the Siri settings under the language part, but it won't functions in the united states properly unless it is set to the united states voice.

The males voice is kind of garbled in my opinion...weird.

I hope they add some voices for us to choose from

Thanks for mentioning the different voice for English (United Kingdom). I like the male sounding voice better and it will add to Siri's entertainment value.

Unfortunately, unless you live there...it won't really do you much good to change it (for now).

i cant wait for jailbreak to get ahold of Siri. I want her to have a southern accent

And I want to look at her, instead of a mic.

Not entirely true. If you have a British accent, changing to the UK English mode makes Siri's voice recognition much more accurate. Unfortunately it also prevents me using U.S. maps which is absolutely stupid.

Oh man if mine was gonna be like KIT I'd use it more often.

Like i said...it really won't do you much good, since the features aren't accessible...

More features are accessible to me with the UK English mode than US since in US mode, the software does not understand me. I would love to know why Apple thinks that there are no people in the US with British accents, particularly given the designer of the exterior of iPhone (and most Apple gadgets) is British. The current restriction is completely idiotic.

Female voice > male voice

I use it all the time... for everything. Really recommend you use Bluetooth as well. Makes it more real

The fact that we can't pick which voice to use is absurd...i agree 100% with that, but your situation is not a very common one, and generally speaking, like i was saying before, switching the voice in Siri is not going to benefit most users in their respective countries because it will automatically disable many of the functions of Siri for that area.

I think my situation more common than you think. There are plenty of people in the US who speak with British accents. New York is full of them.

I called Apple care to complain about the UK English issue (and location based reminders).

What did they say and why complain?

Also, whats wrong with location based reminders?

i don't mind the female voice

I love the female voice. But if she had a British accent I'd like her a lot more! Women with British accents give me huge wood! Think Elizabeth Hurley!

Or Scottish, as in Karen Gillan.

As Siri is still in beta, I think we will see a lot of improvements to it with customer usage, and suggestions/requests.
