Change Siri voice from male to female

[Vundu]

to change voices go to setting>General>Siri>Language>and pick from there

Changing language is not the same as changing the voice. I want to keep it at UK.

Like already posted, have you not read the thread

This is unbelievable. Some bloke called Jeeves has kidnapped my lovely Siri. I refuse to speak to him and shall be returning my obviously faulty phone to apple post haste.

Not sure if anybody else has noticed but when I changed from UK to US it did have a harder time of recognising what I was saying.

It did that to me too, i have a neutral accent as well.

Do you think you're the 1st poster in this thread?

Lol

I'm also getting accustomed to the male voice. He's like my butler, gonna call him Alfred like in Batman.

I actually want to go the other way around - I'm in the US, but I prefer a male voice. This is mostly because I have a hearing problem where higher-pitched sounds are hard to hear, but I also wonder if women in general prefer male voices and vice versa? Anyway, I hope Apple gets around to giving us more voice options sooner than later!

You can change it!

Go to settings, general, Siri and click where it says language! This changes it I am using a female voice

----------

It does keep it uk! Go play and see!

Correction - asking Siri "where" type questions is only for US, and doesn't work in UK no matter what language is selected.


While you can switch to the Female voice using language (to US or Austrailian), Siri, "can't provide maps and directions for UK". Personally, I would prefer the Female Siri, but certainly don't wish to remove functionality in working around this inexplicable restriction.

I experimented with the languages and I far prefer the Australian female voice. It sounds the most natural

I'm in UK but changed mine to the US version as it understands my northern Irish accent better.

damnit that sucks.. to find out UK got the male.. I'd rather have a male voice.. Siri is annoying ass hell.. I wanted Siren instead of Siri..

You can change Siri's voice in Settings

Siri's voice is currently controlled under Settings > International > Voice Control > Siri.

You get the female voice for US English, male for UK. I tried the male UK setting, but he can't understand my American accent very well at all.

I rather preferred an English assistant.

I'm in the UK and would prefer a female voice if only given the option between male and female.

However the one that would really tick my box is to have Space Odyssey's Hal-9000.

I just the aussie voice.

Far better than the UK one.

I like switching the voices about but I'm in the UK prefer the US one.

I'm in the USA and use the Aussie voice, she's sexier.

australian english

Will be exactly the same as if you have a british accent. Stuck on contract android won't reconize my voice

 

[motoleo]

I'd be mad if the U.S. version of Siri was male. I do like the male French one though.

Siri & Apple says it's not male or female...

 

[BadboyHouse]

Presumably if you change the setting to US (and you're in the UK), it won't understand your accent as good as the UK setting would?

 

[Stealthipad]

Eww!! Hope UK gets female voice soon...

I don't think anyone in the US cares about male voice option

They gave the UK a male voice for a reason
