Voice Of Apple’s iPhone 4S UK Siri Speaks Out

When I got my iPhone 4S and started using Siri, I thought that the voice sounded familiar, it turns out that the UK voice of Siri was done by voice over artist Jon Briggs, who has done voice overs for a number of popular TV shows here in the UK.

Although Jon Briggs didn’t record the his voice for Apple, it was a company called Scansoft, which he recorded over 5,000 phrases for over a three week period, and the  phrases were then used by Siri, which was taken over by Apple.

Jon Briggs has been asked by Apple not to talk about his involvement with Siri, but as his voice recording which are used in Siri aren’t exclusive to Siri or Apple, as they have been used by other companies, Briggs says that his contract isn’t with Apple but the original company Scansoft. Have a look at our article on the difference between the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
