For some reason, the British female voice can pronounce my first name correctly, but not the American!
Weird...
That's funny. Perhaps Apple should extend this into a feature, with a setting for the education level of Siri. If you set it low, she'll mispronounce long words and exotic names intentionally.
“I’ve found you a flight to Nambia. It’ll cost a bigly amount, but they do serve very good covfefe.”
Having just watched the ad for Bixby (which may or not be hype ... got to say it reminds me of 'The Knowledge Navigator' video from Apple in the early 80's), I sure hope Apple are close to upgrading Siri to be able to better operate apps in general and be able to perform inter app related operations and use far better AI. I love Siri to bits but , "Sorry 'name' I am unable to do that" is getting very old.
Well, we keep waiting for improvements, and it all seems a bit superficial. The competition seems to have raced by.
Yeah, I found out that the Australian female voice sounds the best. Easy to understand. Even though I'm a US citizen.
I learned the hard way that if you have an American accent, you should not ask Australian Siri to make an appointment with someone for six. I had a bit of explaining to do.

I also use the British voice even though I live in California and then Siri started giving me British dates for holidays. I discovered that Mother's Day is celebrated on a different day in England. So be careful!
