I want to use Siri's voice as my voicemail box message when people call me. Is there a way to save it to a sound file or something so I can try this http://www.iphonealley.com/tips/use-any-audio-file-as-a-custom-voicemail-message ?
Got a tip for us?

Was hoping to avoid recording from a analog source and get a digital save from a desktop text-to-speech application or something that uses the Siri voice profile.

Yeah - I wouldn't obsess over the fidelity of a recording that will already get transcoded on the server and then deployed over cellular devices. Not to mention Siri's voice is already low fidelity. Anal retentive much?
yea but if i can find a way to output a sound file by typing in the text phrase to application, it would be much easier to generate more later or for other purposes.
btw: anyone know how to get siri to say a phrase i typed up in notes or selected? If not i guess ill have to send myself a txt msg and have it read to me.

Good idea 🙂 I tried looking it up and it doesn't seem like there's any other way as of right now...
You can go into Settings / General / Accessibility / Speak Selection and turn Speak Selection ON. Then, highlight the word(s) you want Siri to say, tap "Speak," and there you go! I recommend having her read Call Me Maybe lyrics out loud for fun.
Or have her read this very funny story from Siri's point of view.
Good luck!

You can use the text to speech function on a mac(set it to Samantha, aka Siri), have it say whatever you want, and record it using sound flower (or equivalent)
