10 Second Summary
1. Open the Settings.
2. Tap Siri.
3. Enable Siri (if necessary).
4. Tap Siri Voice.
5. Choose Siri’s accent (if available) or gender.
Steps
- Open your iPhone’s Settings. This is the grey icon with cogs on your home screen.
- It may also appear in the “Utilities” folder on any of your home screens.
- Scroll down and tap Siri. This is in the third set of options.
- Slide the Siri button to the On position. If Siri is already enabled then you can skip this step.
- Tap Siri Voice.
- Choose an accent. This will reflect regional differences in Siri’s voice (e.g. American, British, or Australian English).
- Not all language selections will have accent options.
- Changing Siri’s accent may have some initial effect on its understanding your voice, but should adjust to the way you speak over time.
- Choose a gender. Depending on your selection, this will set Siri to speak in a male or female voice matching whatever language and accent you have selected.
- Different genders may not be available for all languages.
- If you're using iOS 8, use the "Voice Gender" menu to change Siri's gender, if different genders are available for your language.
Tips
- Because Siri is processed through Apple servers, it is not possible to change the Siri voice to something custom, even with a jailbroken iOS device.
- To change Siri's language, tap Language on the Siri menu and select a language from the list.
