Possible identity of Daniel voice

2013-10-04 Thread Robin Christopherson
Chris
I’m afraid she’s not even found in iOS7 – we only have Daniel, nice though he 
is. If we want Siri to understand our British accents we need to keep it on 
British English and he’s the only choice unlike in the US where you have male 
or female. I think it would be nice to be able to choose the gender of Siri.
One last thing I’d like, putting aside for a second all the fantastic things 
that iOS7 has done for us and sounding ungrateful, is the built-in weather 
functionality to be able to give me temperatures in degree Celsius as I always 
have to do the take away 30 and then halve it process in my head. And I know it 
should be minus 32 then divide by 9 and times by 5 but my head isn’t up to that.
Thanks, Robin.

Possible identity of Daniel voice

2013-10-03 Thread Chris H

Hello everyone.
While we're on the discussion of identifying VoiceOver voices with 
actual people, check out the Daniel voice and sees if he somewhat sounds 
like the Voiceover from The Weakest Link? I think you'll find they do 
sound much alike to each other! Unlike the other thread though, I cannot 
point to websites with audio samples. Sorry!

Possible identity of Daniel voice

2013-10-03 Thread Robin Christopherson
Chris
I met the chap who recorded the voice that became Nuance’s Daniel at a 
conference recently – he’s called Jon Briggs and he said that, if we were 
thinking that his voice sounded familiar, then it’s because he is the voice of 
Siri and half the station announcements in the UK too. Actually in my station 
of Warwick he’s literally half the announcements as he announces all the 
Northern-bound trains while a nice lady does the South-bound ones.
Thanks, Robin.

Daniel was done by a U.K. broadcaster named John Brigs.

I would love to know who does the Tom voice. I'm not sure if this is still the 
case, but I think the person who did that did the voice prompts for Apple here 
in the United States as well as United Air Lines.
