Carol, as Jonathan points out, changing the synth that Siri uses doesn't just change the synth that it speaks with, but, also what it is listening out for.
Depending on your accent natively and how specific it is, or localised perhaps, that will have further impact over the simple dialect that Siri is listening for. What I am saying here is that its not just about the language, its more about how you say something, and not just accent, its about how you speak and the order of wording etc. Regards, Neil Barnfather Talks List Administrator Twitter @neilbarnfather TalkNav is a Nuance, Code Factory and Sendero dealer, as well as an Apple iOS, Macintosh and Android accessibility specialist.
