Thanks,
Karen

Hey Tim, just to correct you on something, if you're talking about the enhanced 
quality for the Siri voices, you can't download those with the steps you listed 
below. Those voices can only be downloaded by plugging into a power source and 
if you're connected to Wifi. If you're talking about the regular Voiceover 
voices, then yes, the steps below will work. It would be helpful to both of us 
if the poster who was wondering about the voices could tell us if she wanted 
the enhanced Voiceover voices or the enhanced Siri voices.

Hi,

To download the enhanced version of voices, go to Settings, General, 
Accessibility, VoiceOver, Speech then double-tap on the Default Voice.  In this 
screen you can download the enhanced version and/or add new voices.

Later...

Oh really? Where do you go to do that?  I didn't see that option, but suppose I 
never really looked for it either sense I didn't really look under the settings 
too much lol.

Hi,

If you download the enhanced version of those voices, the quality improves 
dramatically.

I finally checked that out last night, and thought the British voice was ok, 
but was disappointed that most of the other voices weren't as high-quality 
sounding, the British voice being one of them.

Oh yes, there is more than one man.
Here is hoping the ability to nuance comes in the next incarnation.

I love the American voice but would like to see what else is available too.

Karen,
You can have a male Siri if you like, it’s in the choices under Siri in 
settings. I have a nice Brit gentleman, for instance, instead of the snotty 
American version!  lol
hth,
Caitlyn(not Genner, btw! another lol)

Hi folks,
as to the first question, I understand she? had no idea she is a girl, has an 
amusing answer to  questions like... what's zero divided by zero?"
if no    one has tried it, I will not spoil the fun.
I understand too that she will correct anyone  seeking physical information 
about Bruce Jenner.
The other half of my question has to do with nuance.
I recently visited an apple store to learn  if the ios voices could be nuanced 
the way mac voices can.  I was dismayed that while you can speed the voice up 
and slow it down, you cannot  improve the over all quality..but I did not try 
Siri  at all.
I was working with an ipad, not a phone.
so can she be improved?
I may need to check her out, I tend to prefer a guy's voice talking in my ear 
even on my computer lol.
Still  it might be the difference between ever using an ios device as is the 
case now, and considering an iphone for non phone tasks.
Thanks,
Karen
