I assume these voices come from Nuance. Here's an article from 2011
talking about the partnership between Apple and Nuance and Mac getting
new text to speech voices in various languages

Hi Shawn!
What's the name of these siri Voices and which company has produced them (I
mean the English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese siri voices).
Best regards,
Olya

I know the names of the voices because you can use them with NVDA. That's why I
wish Apple would release them for OS X but that's a different topic for a
different list.

Right. Can I ask, how the hell do you know the names of the Siri voices? Because on my iOS devides
at least, all I get is "Siri Male", "Siri Female" etc.

Yeah I like the Siri voices for Voiceover too. I alternate between Gordon, the
Australian male Siri voice and Martha, the British female Siri voice. I don't
really care for the American siri voices, Aaron and Nicky, because Nicky has
lost her inflection she had in previous iOS versions and Aaron kinda reminds me
of Neospeech Paul.

I first upgraded my for S. And I tried both Siri voices and was very unhappy,
because of the really long pauses between sentences and lines. But just
recently, I bit the bullet and upgraded my 5S, which will soon be replaced with
a 6S, whenever T-Mobile gets them in ships one out to me.
Since my favorite female voice is not available for reading Kindle books on the
iPhone, and since they have screwed it up on the android version of Kendall,
where you get unnatural pauses between lines with that same voice, Kendra, I
tried the Siri female voice. And I think I'm going to really try to live with
it. It is certainly better than Samantha. So for those of you who don't care
for Samantha, and have something faster than the four ss, give it a try.
