Siris of the World!

If you're on an iOS device, you will enjoy this little post. It's interactive. First, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection > and turn it on. Next, highlight the text below by double-tapping until the entire text is highlighted in blue. Tap "Speak". Different voices of Siri will speak according to the language. Make sure that your volume is turned up (iOS 6 provides the best functionality).

START HIGHLIGHT HERE:

Hi I'm Siri. Your virtual assistant.

こんにちは私は日本のシリだ。あなたの仮想アシスタント。

Ciao io sono Siri italiana. Il tuo assistente virtuale.

Hola soy español Siri. Su asistente virtual.

Γεια σας είμαι Έλληνας Siri. Εικονική βοηθός σας.

안녕하세요 저는 한국 시리 해요. 가상 비서.

Привет я русский Siri. Ваш виртуальный помощник.

Hej Jag är svenskt Siri. Din virtuella assistent.

嗨,我是中国Siri的。您的虚拟助理。

END HIGHLIGHT

As you can see, Siri changes her accent to match different languages. I hope you find this helpful.
