indeed?
independent of each other?
Meaning you cannot use Siri to do comparative tasks, or to support
voiceover tasks and vice versa?
I am asking because as others point out from time to time, there are ios
applications that do not exist on the mac at all.
Those applications can only be used then with voiceover in ios, which does
not involve siri?
thanks for educating me!

Hi,
Siri is more like a Star Trek kind of computer thing whereby you can ask him/her
directions, questions both real and silly, place commands like "open my Music
app" etc. VoiceOver is audio announcements and modified gestures of visible items
on the screen so that a visually impaired user can hopefully use the device in a similar
fashion as a sighted user. They are actually independent of each other although they use
some common aspects of the iOS.

Hey Tim, just to correct you on something, if you're talking about the enhanced
quality for the Siri voices, you can't download those with the steps you listed
below. Those voices can only be downloaded by plugging into a power source and
if you're connected to Wifi. If you're talking about the regular Voiceover
voices, then yes, the steps below will work. It would be helpful to both of us
if the poster who was wondering about the voices could tell us if she wanted
the enhanced Voiceover voices or the enhanced Siri voices.

Hi,
To download the enhanced version of voices, go to Settings, General,
Accessibility, VoiceOver, Speech then double-tap on the Default Voice. In this
screen you can download the enhanced version and/or add new voices.

Oh really? Where do you go to do that? I didn't see that option, but suppose I
never really looked for it either sense I didn't really look under the settings
too much lol.

Hi,
If you download the enhanced version of those voices, the quality improves
dramatically.

I finally checked that out last night, and thought the British voice was ok,
but was disappointed that most of the other voices weren't as high-quality
sounding, the British voice being one of them.

Oh yes, there is more than one man.
Here is hoping the ability to nuance comes in the next incarnation.

Karen,
You can have a male Siri if you like, it’s in the choices under Siri in
settings. I have a nice Brit gentleman, for instance, instead of the snotty
American version! lol
hth,

Hi folks,
as to the first question, I understand she? had no idea she is a girl, has an
amusing answer to questions like... what's zero divided by zero?"
if no one has tried it, I will not spoil the fun.
I understand too that she will correct anyone seeking physical information
about Bruce Jenner.
The other half of my question has to do with nuance.
I recently visited an apple store to learn if the ios voices could be nuanced
the way mac voices can. I was dismayed that while you can speed the voice up
and slow it down, you cannot improve the over all quality..but I did not try
Siri at all.
I was working with an ipad, not a phone.
so can she be improved?
I may need to check her out, I tend to prefer a guy's voice talking in my ear
even on my computer lol.
Still it might be the difference between ever using an ios device as is the
case now, and considering an iphone for non phone tasks.
Thanks,
Karen
