ios 7 siri new voice Siri comes to iOS 7 with new voices, new look and new features

iPhone 7 SiriThe next version of mobile operating system, Apple will not only give a much needed facelift to the interface of its popular voice assistant, but will also feature a number of interesting improvements between today we will look at two: their new natural voices (male and female versions) and theability to learn how to correctly pronounce a name in case of error.   Starting with the new voices, these are initially available only in English, French and German but considering that OS X already have the excellent voices of Diego and Monica anticipate that the other languages ​​should not take too long to get the same treatment. Concerned voices sound pretty good although the jokes that Siri itself is not ready to participate in the American Idol program (one day adventure to dream). Do not believe me? Forward video … The function itself will come from the first time our country is to learn to pronounce correctly the complicated names (or not so). Siri now invites us to teach you how to pronounce a certain name in case you find problems to understand, and we can always correct when saying something wrong style “That’s not how it is pronounced [name]“.

Lost at the game? Tell Siri.    Weather Ask Siri for the weather and you’ll automatically get a 5-day forecast for your area. That’s pretty cool, but ask if it will be hot or cold tomorrow and Siri will tell you bring sunglasses or a sweater in a friendly, conversational style.  Directions You’ll never get lost with Siri. Ask Siri and you’ll get a Google Map with directions to your destination, in addition to alternate routes.   iCloud Siri can sync almost anything to iCloud, letting you access contacts, for instance, on your iPad or Macbook.  Stocks Siri can get any stock quote and let you know how it’s doing.   Contacts Siri knows all your contacts, even by their first name, and you can ask it to give any info you need.    Delete Alarms Say “delete all alarms” and Siri will clear all your alarms, letting you sleep in. Speak Symbols Siri can speak a range of symbols, from percent and dollar signs to caret and
