Apple today announced that Siri AI will offer an “all-new voice experience,” giving users the ability to personalize the sound of the voice assistant.
On devices supporting Apple’s most advanced built-in model, ‌Siri‌ AI will deliver more expressive voices as well as a significant improvement in dictation accuracy system-wide. Users will be able to adjust both the expressiveness and rhythm of ‌Siri‌’s voice according to their preferences via a new user interface with sliders. As of Developer Beta 1, American is the only voice option.
The updated dictation engine will capture speech as polished text, automatically handling capitalization, punctuation and formatting in real time. Apple says better speech understanding means users can speak naturally and be confident their words will appear accurately and as intended.
