Latest iOS 15.4 Beta Adds Fifth Siri Voice for U.S. Users

Unmentioned in the article: This is a gender-neutral voice. “Quinn” is a unisex name.

No wonder it’s the most annoying and puncheable voice out of all the choices.

You know I’m right. lol

I insist that my manservant is better spoken than I am.

Indian voice 2 is the easiest to understand out of all the languages.

Can we get a High Pitch Erik?

Until we get a Scottish accent, Siri is dead to me.

 

[AllergyDoc]

So Siri will be a dumbass in five voices now?

lol There isn’t a day go by where I don’t yell at Siri at least once.

 

[Graham Caracas]

Little consumers all excited about the new voice on their toy. Reminds me when my toddler got his new See N Say.

That’s a common thing at me house.

Me: Hey Siri you’re a dumbass.
Siri: That’s not nice.

The sad tone in Siri’s reply feels like a mini win!

The American voice just sounds outraged all the time

Especially if it's Glaswegian!!

When they name her Quinn, that got my hopes up to expect Harley Quinn!

Instead it's kind of a neutered Boston or Main style accent. LOL

Finally, someone mentions it. Not that it's a bad thing but we all know why Apple has been adding these extra voices.

I hate all of Siri's American accent voices. None of them sound pleasant to the ear.

 

[WilburMercer]

This voice is supposed to be gender-neutral.


Even if it were, why would that be an issue?

I would rather Apple do not waste time on things like hundreds of Siri voices and hundreds of new emojis, and instead focus on more important things like properly testing their software before releasing...

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Showing the geek in me, I'd like them to add the Enterprise D / Voyager era computer's voice.

I want Apple to build a Siri voice store/gallery so I can buy different fictional voices. It's already very common to see a wide selection of fictional/celebrity voices in map navigation apps in other countries. I would imagine this would be pretty popular.

Well I pretty much share your sentiments. I really wish Apple would show Siri some much need love. None of this, I fave found articles and I can send them to your iPhone if you wish.

 

[Debauch]

They need to add a Pulp Fiction Samual L Jackson voice…

Siri: Ask me to turn on the lights again, I dare you, I double dare you #!#$%, ask me one more #@$1% Time!

Then it wouldn’t be so bad when Siri gets it wrong.

 

[Makosuke]

I keep ending up back at "old-school Siri", but for a while I was using a feminine Irish one, which was rather fun. Plus it'd say "car park" instead of "parking lot".

A co-worker uses a masculine British voice, which somehow makes it feel like Siri is an uptight butler.

 

[bebarhood]

Quick question. Why is it when I tell Siri to call someone, the call doesn't automatically go to speaker? I assume people will use that feature if they want a hands free option.

Better than sounding like a headmaster with no joy in their lives ?

 

[harrisondavies]

Horrid. My Siri thinks he’s god. Even listening to me, unlike the real god. (Joke)

 

[iMas70]

Why did they take away the original Siri voice? That one seems to be the most popular.

After hearing the aggravation in the voice, it's a good thing I'm struggling to download it. I've been trying for the last 3 days.
