Re: Questions regarding iPhone voices

2018-04-11 Thread Kelly Pierce 
I like to have different voices for Siri and VoiceOver. I currently
use Alex for VoiceOver and tom for Siri. If I use Tom for voiceOver
and the male Australian voice for Siri, peple around me act startled
to hear an Australian dialect that is clear and confident. So I stick
to Alex and Tom so folks don't get freaked out when hearing my iPhone.

Hi 

I also use Eva and Alex. Indeed he is the loudest voice I have found but I like 
to alternate. 
No like others said, if is all very subjective. I find she puts me in a good 
mood. Lol. 

Hth.

Hi Terry, 
I use british voices on my iPhones. I have noticed that on my iPhone 6, the 
voices can get distorted, however, on my 8, the voices are much clearer. This 
is due to the better speakers on the 8. I also like Alex, but it draws a lot on 
the processor so I've switched to the siri female voice for now. I have Ava on 
my iPod though and really like her. Although she can be soft and it depends on 
what environment you are in and whether you are just using the speaker or 
headphones. It's all very subjective. 
Hope this is helpful.
Take care, 
Carla.

Questions regarding iPhone voices

2018-04-11 Thread Terri Stimmel 
Hello everyone,


I have some questions regarding the iPhone voices. I am not trying to 
possibly start something here by asking these questions. I would just 
honestly like to know peoples thoughts on the matter.


Alright, for quite a while I used the voice of Alex. It seemed the 
clearest to me, and the loudest.


However, I recently switch to the enhanced voice of Tom. I like it 
alright. But I think I might like the voice of Alex better. Besides the 
fact that he breathes. That is different!


Anyway, I am currently using Ayva. I like her. But the voice almost 
seems too soft. I can't exactly put in to words what I mean by this.


Anyway if I turn up my phone too much, then any voice seems distorted. 
The 1 thing I used to like about my Android, was that the voice I used 
was louder, and clearer.

But maybe it's this phone, or the case, or a number of reasons. I just 
don't know.


Do you all have any thoughts?


Terri
