With iOS 7, Siri gets improvements. It’s no longer beta, and it adds new functionality thanks to deals with new partner services. The interface has changed, and for the first time, you can select the gender of Siri’s voice. Here’s how.
Siri’s voice changes from country to country, but up to now, if you live in the United States or Canada, Siri has had only a female voice. Now you can make Siri sound male, or vice versa:
This option isn’t available in all countries, but it’s there for Americans and Canadians.
Have you swapped Siri’s gender? Or are you sticking with the tried and true voice you’re used to? Or do you not have a gender option for your localized version of Siri? I want to hear from you, so please sound off in the comments.
