Even still,
Meh.
OK, that's definitely a bit better than what I initially thought was Zoey, but
I'm still not crazy about it.

That's because the voice you hear when you enter the page is Ava. To hear
what Zoe sounds like, press VO+Command+J until you hear Gender. Click on it and
VO+Right to select female. Press VO+Space. Next, go to the voice and press
VO+space. Select Zoe by doing the same method as above for the gender and press
VO+Space. Type something in and let her read to you.

I was kinda disappointed that they didn't use Nuance's new female voice
for Siri. I mean, have you guys heard this one yet? She's freaking awesome! Her
name is Zoe and she's the most human sounding voice they've ever created. You
can use her with Mac OS Sierra. If you want to listen to her, go to
http://www.nuance.com/landing-pages/playground/Vocalizer_Demo2/vocalizer_modal.html
and set it to use Zoe. Type in some stuff and let her read to you. They also
have three other new voices called Evelyn, Nathan who are all US English voices
like Zoe, and Malcom, a new British English voice. And no, I'm not breaking any
NDA. Nuance announced that these voices would be in Mac OS Sierra long before
WWDC.

Ray, I can't really say anything, being I'm on NDA, but I'll throw my
comments to the borderline without breaking anything.
I'll say this. I did see the keynote, and I did see them using Siri.
Would the male voice be something you guys would want? If so, I cannot reveal
if it's already there or not, but what I'll say is, if, it's not already there,
nor is intended to be there, I'd be happy on the back end to put it in as a dev
feedback request, provided it's not there already. Either way, you'll have to
trust that we devs will voice the possibility, if it be wanted by you guys.
Would that be something you all would like to see in addition to
Samantha ia if it be something we devs could convince Apple to do?

Subject: any thoughts on Mac OS Sierra?
Folks, looks like we will be getting Siri when Mac OS Sierra comes
out this Fall. During the keynote yesterday, they used Samantha as the voice
so I’m not sure if the Mac will be getting the voices we’ve been enjoying on
our iPHones for a little while now. Just wondered if anybody had their own
impressions of Mac OS Sierra yet? Of course, I realize that it’s hard to get
much of an impression from a demo meant for the light dependant; still, just
thought I’d ask.
