I notice that on Sierra, Siri's voice is much superior to the selection of system voices you can select in System Preferences → Accessibility → Speech. In fact, I suspect they use a different system entirely as the command say -v ?
doesn't seem to list any voices which are used with Siri.
I have a key command set up to speak the select text. Is there no way I can get it to use Siri's voice to do it?
Edit: To be specific, I'm after the Siri voice: 'British (Male)'
/System/Library/Speech/Voices
, you can see some of the voices there are specifically for Siri. I have:AaronSiri.SpeechVoice
,ArthurSiri.SpeechVoice
,YelenaSiri.SpeechVoice
.say -v
doesn't recognize them and theirInfo.plist
differs from that of the normal voices. Although, they do include the same demo text string as the system voices so they were probably intended to be used as such at some point.
