Q: Siri's voice has changed after IOS 6 update

Here's the fix that worked on my iPhone 4S - Go to Settings -> Siri and change the Language from English (United States) to English (Austrailan). English (Austrailan) had the correct sounding voice, and when I changed it back to English (United States) it was still normal. I had tried changing it to English (Canada) and English (United Kingdom) with no luck.

It's also possible that changing the languages to other ones will get it back to normal after selecting a few different ones. Hope this helps someone!

This is now resolved in the UK on my handset, without doing anything! Apple must have pushed out an update or something. Siri now sounds normal and clear again

I tried that last night actually, changing to Australian. She sounded better in that dialect (and I totally dug the accent), but after changing back to English (United States), she still sounds like she has a mouth full of virtual sand. Very disappointing as I actually liked Siri's original iOS 5 voice. I'm encouraged hearing that some people were able to get her back to sounding normal, hopefully this will happen for everyone experiencing this.

well now im jelous cause i only have the iphone 4 not 4s i hoped we would of gotten Siri with the new IOS update

Had the same problem with the UK Siri, tried changing languages but it remained the same. After a few syncs and being on the cradle Siri seems to have corrected himself so not sure what was going on.

On another note, if Apple are reading this? When you update Siri next can we have a choice of voices like high quality Serena that I use on my Mac. Prefer to have my Apple toys all sound the same. Majel Barrett is probably asking too much but please add Serena!

Majel Barrett as the voice of Siri would be AWESOME. It's too bad she's dead.

Strange - I had the same issue all afternoon and evening yesterday, and checked her just before I went to bed, and she still sounded like she'd smoked a couple packs of cigarettes too many. 

Overnight, while charging, something changed; I tried her out this morning and she was back to normal.  I didn't do anything to try to fix it.  It just fixed itself somehow - maybe ios6 downloaded the full non-compact voice overnight?  Sometimes a good night's sleep fixes everything. 

Yeah you know what!! That happened to me too. Siri talked stagnate all day yesterday, and today after a nights charge, she sounds back to normal.

I would recommend everyone charge their phones to full charge.

A full nights charge and Siri is back to sounding normal!

Same issue! Siri voice so stupid when i upgraded to iOS6 i like ios5's Siri!

What big bug and there is so many bug too

By this morning UK Siri man had got over his sore throat, must have taken some Strepsils. That, or he's downloaded his voice files ;>)

Looking on Twitter lots of people were raving about Siri so it looks like it's not a universal fault. Wonder why...

I'm begging to wonder if it had to do with the fact that I didn't have my phone plugged in and chargin while I was downloading and installing the software. Perhaps that had an issue at the end. My phone didn't die thought during the download and installation.

Yeah. I'm having the same issue. I feel like Siri's gotten slightly less articulate since I updated to iOS6 today.

I tried to switch her to several languages, Austrailian English sounds fine. But even after switching back and doing a hard restart on my phone, the American English voice still sounds retracted. I'll try to drain the battery and do the full charge idea as previously noted and see if it works.

Hello everyone! I have had the same problem when I updated my iOS.

I'm brazilian and I use English (United States) because there is no Portuguese in the menu .

When I tried Siri yesterday I got really disappointed with that "flu accent". I didn't charge my phone during the night and when I woke up there was no battery remaining.

I charged the phone for 20 min cuz I was leaving to work and I just tried Siri a couple minutes ago and she is back .

Hopefully all Siris are back to her normal voice

Siri just came back to normal, thank fook, after being very slow to talk and very fuzzy all day, since the ios6 update this morning. I knew it wasn't the speaker and not just a coincidence.

I connected to iTunes and charged the phone again is all tonight (I didn't have the charger on this morning when updating is one thing from memory I can confirm).

Don't think a reset will do any good as tried that too and to lose your settings while out is a pain.

Some of the changes seem interesting and some will prob fall in to place, I hope!

The text message when you can't take a call is handy although nokia had this for ages.

There are numerous things that could be introduced but I'd expect the apple experts (or should I say creative team) have it covered, cough.

One thing I would like to see in the next update apple is....

When texting, quickly especially, and you go to the bottom left and right areas of the keyboard it is quite easy to acccidently hit the 'delete' and 'upper case' buttons. Could you make it so that they faze out when the phone see's you typing so this doesn't happen and to select these you simply tap them twice, once to wake it up again and second to comfirm the action? I have more waffles but haven't the time to ramble on here.

Just a thought but is it a pain sometimes. And no I don't have sausage roll fingers.

Thanks...
