Why would anyone give her a male voice?
Because the pronunciation is way better. The male voice is way more realistic.
Like Jarvis from Iron Man, for example, or something like that perhaps?Why would anyone give her a male voice?
I thought the " big grin" emoji would clue most people in that I was making a joke? Slow crowd I guess.
No one knew about what?Apple released the new feature a while ago and yet no one knew about it?

Even jokes can have responses. (But thanks for the insult there.)
Why would anyone give her a male voice?
Maybe because a female might prefer to hear a male's voice.
When I listen to Siri, I'm listening to what sounds more real. And the male voice sounds like a real person.
Never really considered which voice sounded better, but randomly chose the male voice for my iPhone and the female for my iPad, mainly because is was possible and make them distinct.
I find that female Siri 2.0 sounds a little more muffled compared to the male voice. And yeah, it does sound more natural.
I better question/poll would be who actually uses siri.
Is that the latest "fad" and "hip" thing do--not use some feature and be proud of it for some reason?
No but maybe you should ask Siri that question.Is that the latest "fad" and "hip" thing do--not use some feature and be proud of it for some reason?
