r/Apple: Unofficial Apple Community

Am I the only one who finds the new Siri voices a horrible step backwards? I can’t quite explain what is wrong, but maybe the tone and intonations are off? In a practical example, the speaking seems more difficult to understand, and it’s worse from further away from a device. Do others the new voices an improvement?

I’ve tried many English language voices, including all US and UK voices, plus some Australia, India, etc. They all sound weird and worse compared with the non-AI versions. After a few days I end up changing because earch voice ends up grating on my ears. Meanwhile, my non AI-capable iPad continues to use the old, better voice.

Sometimes Siri 4 sounds almost resentful when responding, which might be more understandable if the responses were better…
