Siri Language Options

November 28, 2011 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

Does Siri change the way it understands me when I change the language to different English versions?

The short answer: Yes.  For English speakers, The easiest way to test this theory is to change the language from an English version to German or French. Ask Siri a question and watch it offer a web search for the closest thing it could possibly translate from your gibberish.

If you are satisfied with the way Siri understands you and your English accent then you have a few options to choose from. You can make the changes by heading to Settings > General > Siri > Language.

Who can resist the accent of the female Australian? I can’t help but feel as though the accent on the UK English version is a little too electronic; it could have been better.

My tests weren’t as in depth as they could have been, but I had no problem asking for the time of other countries, setting up meetings, and using dictation features to reply to general texts and emails. Just with every other toy Apple has to offer, the best way to figure out what you like is to play with it.

Have fun!
