While Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa have moved forward, Siri hasn’t been developed much in the past few years. However, Apple is still committed to its voice assistant. The company is adding two new voices to Siri’s English offerings. It is also eliminating the default “female voice” selection. Both of these developments are now available in the latest beta version of iOS.
Apple will now allow people setting up their phone to choose a voice for Siri for themselves, and it will no longer default to the voice assistant being female. It seems like Siri is the first mainstream voice assistant to make the choice completely agnostic with no default selection made. This is a positive step forward as it will not allow default bias. These new voices are available to English-speaking users around the world, and the users can select a personal preference of voice in 16 languages.
