Siri voice files

They're hosted on Apple's servers, so you can't do that.

 

This is right.

 

Siri is indeed TTS technology. The back end only sends text. The text-to-speech engine built into iOS5 reads the text sent back from the server for you. Sending the audio data back to you OTA would really beat on your data plan.

What were you looking to do, replace them with something else? Or list everyone she says? Neither are possible.

 

He's probably looking for that roving bug in them...yes, that's this guy.

 

Really? I find that hard to believe. It would be ridiculously inefficient when iOS has excellent text-to-speech built in.

 

I'm sure if he keeps looking one day he will find it, but by then it will already have been too late

 

When you use Siri your voice is sent in a really small, compressed audio file to the Apple servers, where it is processed. Siri's answer is a text file which is sent back to the iPhone, and the iPhone then converts to text into speech.

 

I'm kind of hoping....

 

If you have Lion, "Samantha" (in sys pref > speech) would be the one you're looking for.

 

The Australian English voice is named Karen. You may have to download it from Lion's speech pref pane. And iOS voices cannot be transferred to Mac OS X.

 

.......You can get Siri to say whatever you want............

It's in the Accessibility options.

 

The voice that is Siri is not a new voice. Her voice is Settings>General>Accessibility>Speak Selection

You can have the Siri voice say whatever you want. Just highlight and tap speak. I use it way more than I use Siri.

 

It works for me when you have to read whole paragraphs!

How are you going to direct it to read a specific point from here to there with your voice?

I don't know how emulators are set up.

 

Well, you can get the file from 's FTP severs.
