Gregory's ServerLearned today that if you have Siri enabled in Russian but receive an English text, it’ll read it to you with... RUSSIAN ACCENT!
Just... Why?

@nikitonsky the work Windows device lab computer is set up in German but the screen reader in English and somehow I get crossed wires in both directions - English read out in a strong German accent and vice versa (I find the American accent on German particularly grating)!  @nikitonsky when I ask ChatGPT in Spanish, it responds me in Spanish with English accent. It makes me laugh every time @nikitonsky If you have both English and Russian Siri voices downloaded, it will use the right one… until iOS randomly decides to remove one of them @nikitonsky The download options are available from multiple places; on that screen, you can select different voices for different languages  @nikitonsky Maybe it's easier to understand for most people that way? Cannot say for sure, but for other languages there are many videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LKBA6-8d3nc  @nikitonsky It is exactly the same the other way around: use English Siri voice, get a text in Ukrainian and listen it torture the language. |
@nikitonsky oh my god i'm now imagining the same happening for german and indian :D #itwerks
