Siri’s
accent is automatically set to American English for those who buy the iPhone in the US, but being a multifaceted
personal assistant, she can put on a foreign accent at the drop of a hat. Under
General Settings, look for Siri.
From there, a Language option gives you five choices as to Siri’s vernacular –
English (Australia), English (United Kingdom), English (United States), French,
and German. The two latter options change Siri’s entire dialect, of course, but
English speakers who want a slight taste of Britain or Australia are in luck.
Keep in mind that the British Siri is a man.
Siri can speak five
dialects and languages. The United Kingdom option also changes her voice to a
male intonation.
