Apple’s secret team: Make Siri sound more like human
We can see Apple has made a great progress on Siri in the past few years. Facing the competition with Amazon and Google, the company never gave up on this intelligent voice assistant, though people are still making fun of its “inperfection.“ During the next year, we will hopefully see more improvement on its AI and its launch along with iOS 11.
Earlier this week, Business Insider mentioned one of Apple’s labs in England, where scientists and researchers are working hard on Siri’s upgrade.
The interesting part is that they are focusing on Siri’s voice, making “her” sound more like human (instead of robot).
This isn’t quite a shock, since the latest Siri of iOS 10 has been more “human” than before.
It’s said that the secret team is working in an ordinary building of Cambridge with more than 30 members, and most of them used to work at VocallQ.
