Eloquence on the iPhone would be great.
Sadly, I don't think it's going to ever happen.
on Mac OS there is a hack to get it working, but since this is an iOS
forum i won't go into it here.
Works well on Android devices though thanks to the good foke at code
factory.
I use com packed Karen which is nice and crisp and doesn't cut off words
unlike some of the other TTS'S.

Kimber, I also prefer Eloquence on my computers and use Samantha on my iPhone

anybody except maybe Karla who was not very impressed with this new female SIRI
voice and I still don't know if Karla set her as the Voiceover voice as you did
and cranked up the volume. I could also not stand her in that situation.

Ha, I thought I was the only one who didn't like the new siri voice. I usually
keep the rate set to 70% and I didn't care for her at all. I kept her around
for a day, thinking I might get used to her, but this morning I went back to my
compact Samantha. Of course I prefer Eloquence on my laptop so go figure.

Hi. Totally agree with you regarding the new Siri female voice. It
isn’t the most responsive by a long shot but the most human sounding
I’ve ever heard on an iPhone. Hopefully, responsiveness will improve.
Despite the small lag, I still am keeping her as my default voice
because she’s so pleasant to listen to. As you mentioned she’s the best at
normal human speed.

That shows how subjective TTS voices sound to us. I always preferred
Samantha for Voiceover, to me she sounds just fine and if you truly
have downloaded the new female american SIRI voice then I really don’t
understand where you get the witch thing because I think she is one of
the best TTS voices I have ever heard. I don’t have an Amazon Echo,
but from Podcasts I heard I thought Alexa also sounds extremely good,
but this new SIRI voice is probably the most human sounding voice I
have ever heard. I must add that she only sounds good at regular human
speaking volume, if you download her for Voiceover and cranc up the
volume it’s a different story, her kind of voice is not meant to speak fast.
Unfortunately the next update won’t change things since I’m sure after
the amount of money and effort Apple has gone through to come up with
that voice they won’t go back to what she sounded like before.

Sieghard

I know people that never liked Samantha because they thought she
always sounded angry. I usually use a male voice for Siri.
I tried the new female Siri voice which I had to download and I
thought she sounded a great deal better than Samantha.
So, I have no idea what the issue is for you.

Since doing the update I'm having a problem with Siri sounding kind of

thing? If so can I fix it or just wait for the next upgrade.
