Sorry, but there is no difference for me. She is as expressive as she has 
always been since they started using synthesized voices.

Subject: Re: female voice of Siri has lost its expressiveness

 

Teresa, yes, the male voice is unaffected. That's why I wanted to alert the 
community about this to see if anyone else noticed it. I'm glad some of the 
people have and that it is not just me. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon. The 
more emails people send to them, the better. Thanks for your email.

The male voice seems the same as always. He still rolls his Rs when he says

Has anyone else noticed this. If so, please let me know. Since the 8.1.3 
update, Siri has lost its energetic/expressive nature. In other words, it just 
isn't as chipper/cheerful/peppy, whatever word you want to use. Has anyone else 
experienced this? I first noticed it when I asked it to tell me the 
temperature. Remember the way it used to say BRRR, I can't even type the way it 
said it, but anyway now it just says the word brrr, it doesn't have the 
expressiveness anymore. You'll also notice it when you ask it to do other 
things, like send a text, call someone, email a contact, it's just not as, 
human sounding, maybe? Anyway, if anyone else could test this out on their 
devices and let me know if it happens with you. And if you do have the same 
issues, report it to Apple Accessibility like I did, there email address is:  
<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]. I am running iOS 
8.1.3 on an iPhone 6, and in case anyone is wondering, yes I am using one of 
the VoiceOver enhanced voices, Alex, so the enhanced voice is downloaded. That 
was the first thing I double checked. Thanks,

Josh
