Why Does Siri Sound Funny?

Something funny has happened recently...

Basically two (negative) changes have happened to Siri. It doesn't affect the functionalitiy but nevertheless, they're still bad.


1. Siri has started sounding robotic - currently I am using the british male. Before it sounded fine, but know it sounds scary and robotic.

2. Sometimes when I ask Siri a question, about 1/10 times, the voice goes all slurred and slow - it sounds like Siri has had a stroke.


Has anyone else had any problems like this?

Just to clarify, I am not talking about Siri taking a while to respond.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi all..... finally.. problem solved.

I too had this problem with Siri'S voice sounding "woolly"

I went to the apple store and they too were at a loss.

So I went home and worked it out for myself.

In short, when the phone puts a Load on the processor such as a download or backup, it causes the voice to loose clarity. Once the downloading or backing up is complete dear Siri is back to it's clear old self. I do hope this helps.

Happy and healthy new year to you all.
