The sound of the voice seems more coherent, clearer, more natural and more “human”. No doubt Apple did great job developing and implementing these two UK voices for Siri. Even if its virtual assistant still has a long way to go to catch up with other virtual assistants on the market such as Alexa or Google Assistant.
With the arrival of iOS 17, Apple has implemented some very interesting features in Siri. First of all, it is now able to read web pages using a simple voice command. In addition, its activation method has also been changed, it will no longer be necessary to say “Hey Siri” for the assistant to respond, but instead a simple “Siri” will suffice to activate it. Although this feature is not yet available in USA and other Spanish-speaking countries.
Let us know what you think of the new Siri voices in the comments. In principle, we have not received any rumors about the implementation of new Spanish voices for Siribut Apple might have a surprise up its sleeve.
