#MALE SIRI VOICE HOW TO#
Like their predecessors, the new voices were built by running a person’s recorded voice through Apple’s neural text-to-speech engine (NTTS) to teach the AI how to mimic the voice and generate natural-sounding speech that was not spoken by the voice artist. Voices 1 and 4 are the current options and voices 2 and 3 are the new ones. You can hear all four options in the tweet above. The update doubles the catalog with a new male and female voice. Siri currently includes the option for a male and female voice, with the woman’s voice the well-known default. Voices 1 and 4 are the existing ones, voices 2 and 3 are the new ones. Here’s a recording of Siri’s new lineup of American voices in iOS 14.5. As first reported by TechCrunch, setting up any Siri-enabled device will include picking how the voice assistant will sound right away, not just making it an option to change later. Apple’s Siri voice assistant will include two new English voice options and won’t use the current female voice as the default choice anymore.
