Step 5. Choose an accent
This feature, available only for the English version of Siri, allows you to choose between three different accents (American, British or Australian English).
- Not all languages have the ability to change the accent.
- By changing the accent, the program may have a hard time understanding your voice, but it should be able to adapt after a short time.
Step 6. Choose your gender
Thanks to this setting, you can choose whether Siri will speak in a male or female voice.
- The genders are not available in all languages.
- If you are using iOS 8, use the "Voice Gender" menu to change the feature if both genders are available for your language.
Advice
- Since Siri is a service provided through Apple's servers, its voice cannot be customized, even with a jailbroken phone.
- To change the language of Siri, press "Language" in the relevant menu and select one from the list.
