What is Siri's identity?

Siri is the voice assistant for all Apple devices, including Macs and iOS devices like iPhones and iPads. It was incorporated into the iPhone 4S in 2010 when it was first introduced.

Despite rumors about who it may have been in the past, the identity of the voice remains unknown.

Since iOS 11, Apple has used new voices and recorded several hours of speech, incorporating a variety of personalities and expressions to make Siri's responses sound more human. Although Apple never confirmed the origin of earlier voices, we were able to ascertain this information through interviews with voiceover artists. There is currently no indication of who the voices belong to.

 

What is the Siri acronym?

Siri is an acronym for Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface, but it has additional significance. The Norse meaning of Siri is "beautiful woman who leads you to victory," whereas the Swahili meaning is "secret."

Having multiple meanings captures the spirit of Siri quite well, illustrating how it is both a speech-interpretation system and an endeavor to implement artificial intelligence on your smartphone.

What Became of Siri's Original Voice?

Susan Bennett, a voice-over artist and former backup vocalist for Roy Orbison and Burt Bacharach, is believed to have provided Siri's original American voice. Bennett claims that she recorded the voice in 2005 without knowing that she would become a wildly popular voice assistant in the future. Apple has never affirmed or denied the story, but has never denied it either. We only know that if Bennett was the voice of Siri prior to Apple's September 2013 release of iOS 7, this no longer holds true.

Jon Briggs, a former technology journalist and the original British masculine voice, was interviewed by The Guardian. Karen Jacobsen, a voice-over artist, was the first Australian voice.

There is no information provided regarding the possible identities of other voices for other countries and regions.

 

How Much Does Siri Get Paid?

Bennett claims she had no contract with Apple and was unaware that the company would use her recordings for Siri. Because Siri was created based on her recording sessions with a different company. Because she did not have a contract, Apple did not pay her directly for her labor, although the original company would have. Bennett also believes that Apple did not compensate any of the original Siris for the use of their voice.
