Susan Bennett, the original voice behind Siri, spoke of new details of the steps ahead of Siri's public launch, and the details of the work inside Apple.
Bennett held the meeting with Typeform where she said she was not aware that her voice would be used in a digital assistant on smart phones, and she only learned about it after some friends ran it on her iPhone 4S. She said she was not interested in recording the sound inside Apple, but the person Apple chose did not come to start recording, which is why they were later relied upon.
She said she did not have a good relationship with technology because these devices were not present or popular among their generation, and for that reason, her choice of a technical project was rather strange and enjoyable.
Bennett began recording vocabulary in 2005, before the launch of iPhone phones, and recorded a very large set of different words and sentences to ensure that all letter and word outings are covered in English, which in turn consists of more than a million words. She also reported that the daily registration extended to four hours five days a week, to return in 2011 and 2012 to modify some words and sentences.
She stressed that a set of words and sentences was meaningless, used to ensure that all sounds were covered in English only. The recording should have been done with the same volume and the same layer, which was somewhat tired because it lasted for four hours.
Bennett concluded by saying that she has only a voice of Siri and has nothing to do with the answers because they come from the algorithms of the company responsible for this, so Siri's jokes are not recorded by Bennett personally. Asserting at the same time that Siri opened a wider door to her where she became more famous now.
The Siri language department official spoke to Reuters, revealing details from within Apple about the language development mechanism in Siri, which currently supports 24 different languages.
