Well, given the fact that there are apparently plenty of people on these lists who don't think the voices are problem, maybe Apple isn't hearing a lot from people who do think they are problem. And maybe they don't know. After all, the number of people who use these voices, compared to the

Sorry, I was just assuming Apple was paying some royalties to Nuance to use their voices, so just like any other customer, they'd have the right to raise the issue with their supplier. I also assume Nuance gets quite a bit of mileage out of having their voices on such a popular device, so

You're right, but Apple chooses to use and upgrade these voices, and I'm sure they also have some influence with Nuance, so I think it's fair to let Apple share some of the responsibility. On 15/09/16 14:22, Devin Prater wrote: Apple gets these voices from Neuance. When an update comes out,

Apple gets these voices from Neuance. When an update comes out, Apple updates the voices, so it isn't really Apple's fault. I do know what you mean about Samantha. I use Alex, or Fred. Devin Pratersent from Gmail. On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 10:56 AM, Chantal Oakes wrote: >

Hello Dan, I echo what you are saying. The quality of voices are very poor with this new update. One often wonders why they touch what isn't broken. The voices were not bad before they should just have left it alone. Just my opinion. Chantal Oakes > On Sep 15, 2016, at 7:29 AM, Dan

Hi Dan, It seems to me that there is a little bit of a distortion going on with these voices, it's almost like what used to happen if you have an analog recorder and you had your recording will set just a little bit too high, so that it was over modulated or somewhat distorted. Alex doesn't do
