It's an English accent. When will they do a Scottish one, I wonder.

My iPhone , iPad Mini Retina & my wife's iphone all run beta 3 but only my iPhone got the new updated voice and all the devices are on wifi

It needs to be plugged in and charging too. Leave your devices plugged in with wifi on overnight. Fingers crossed!

my iPhone was never charged over night I always charge it full before I come from the office and never charge it at home. Other devices are plugged during overnight and they didn't get the update.

I'm on 7.1 b3. Left phone on wifi and charged overnight. Still no new UK Siri voices

 

[GreyOS]

Ah sorry for getting peoples hopes up. Seemed feasible.

Btw I didn't mean it literally had to be overnight. Just a fair amount of time charging and on wifi. Overnight at least you won't keep checking it out of anxiety lol

She'd updated overnight for me: iPhone 5S 5.1b3

Sounds a lot more natural now, think I prefer the female voice now.

I think it's purely random. My iPad mini and wife's iPhone is still the same only my iPhone got the update.

Yeah, it might well be random. However I think once you're randomly eligible, you're still only going to get it whilst charging and on wifi as this is how Apple distribute them. So I'm gonna be charging all the time now!

 

[Sirious]

Would love to hear this new voice

 

[Azy]

Come on the somebody upload to YouTube

Just appeared for me on iPad. Female voice sounds like a call centre holding voice, male voice sounds very natural.

 

[Azy]

Installed 7.1 today and it appeared within hours. On wifi not charging though...

She sounds hot

 

[navodwickra]

I think if you have the OTA update (beta 3) it won't work. On my iPhone I restored it to beta 3 when it was released by apple and that's may be the reason only my iPhone got it not the iPad mini.

Nope, I got it OTA on both my iPhone and my iPad

Must be a random thing then

 

[Kevrani]

I now have both new voices on my iPhone 5. Must be a phased roll out?

 

[GreyOS]

Yay I now have it

 

[Kevrani]

I'm not sure I like the new male voice, prefer the old

 

[Zcott]

I'm not sure I like the new male voice, prefer the old

Really? I find the new male voice much better.

 

[Wetware.]

It's an English accent. When will they do a Scottish one, I wonder.

probably as soon as they have speech recognition of the Scottish accent to go alongside it. ...is the scottish speech recognition already?

----------

which, out of the new male and female voices, actually has the most realistic intonation?
