How To Change Siri Voice And Add Notes On Your iPhone 4S/5
If you have grown tired with the default voice option that Siri uses, you can change it into something else. You can set the voice from female to male, whichever suits you best. But there’s a catch: changing the voice in Siri also changes the way you interact with the application. In this article we’ll teach you how to change these settings accordingly and still be able to use Siri as before.
Go into your iPhone’s Settings and scroll down to General, right above iCloud. From there scroll down to Siri, right above the Network option. From here you can access Siri’s options including an On/Off switch that will let your enable or disable the function. Voice Feedback is also in this menu. Your current language is most likely set to English (United States). That is if you purchased you phone in the United States. There are different kinds of English in here, including British English and Australian.
The man speaking when you pick British English has a strong British accent, so if you’re from the UK you should feel right at home. The Australian option activates the voice of a woman. There are syntax and spelling differences between British English and the English used in the United States of America, so Siri might run into trouble sometimes because of these. The application might or might not understand what you’re asking of it. There are settings for German, Japanese and French in the language menu, each with a different voice attached to it. Pick the one you’ll be more familiar with and you can change it back at any time.
How To Creade And Update Notes With Siri
Siri can work pretty well with the Notes app. If you want to quickly write something down or make a grocery list on the fly, you can use Siry to simplify the process. To make a quick memo or just take a note, find out if Siri is active. Hold down the Home button to activate it if it’s not. Now you can tell Siri to take a note for you and speak the contents of that note: “Take a note, I’m to meet Josh at five near the bank.” Siri will show you your note on the screen of the device and will wait for you to confirm it. To update an existing note, speak the words “Add to note” and tell Siri with what text you’re updating it: “I’ve changed my mind, I will meet Josh at four”. Siri will once again show you your note and wait for you to confirm it.
