There is an updated version of a T V program that was on T V years ago called "To tel the truth" On that updated version they had the real live person who did the SIRI voice. I had no problem recognizing her as it was audible. I laughed when she was asked how much she was paid to do the voice. "Not enough." Was her response. She also outlined the pain steaking method she went through to record the voice. As in, going through every possible question that could be asked. So, seeing this thread, I muse what she would think if she saw it? Would she say she was being flamed? Smile.

I don’t know what to think really. SOme Iphone and apple fans, especially one blind guy i have seen on some swedish list is really happy about siri. He could get opening and closing times for a specific store somewhere in sweden. I can not do the same with google assist in swedish. But i guess it will come, the sooner the better. >From my perspective siri must have a hearing loss or maybe i have a lisp or >stuttering and strange voice. I asked her to play Script from a jester’s tears by Marillion but she played something else.
