Yeah I was gonna say to you when you said that suggestion that Siri 99.9% of the time is not being used and Alex is still crashing on my Mac. I wish we had new voices because I've been alternating between voices and I'm getting sick of them. We haven't seen a new voice from Acapela in over a year and it would've been nice if Nuance would've brought Zoe and all those other new voices to Sierra. Heck, why not let us use the Siri voices? We can use them in iOS sort of but why not on the Mac?
