People think they've 'found' voice behind Siri and it is not who you think it is

It seems members of the public who believed they'd discovered the "actual voice" of Siri are wrong. Instead the person they thought it was has a role in another tech giant. Explaining where you might have heard her voice previously, TikTok user @kdimerc, says she isn't the voice of the well-known virtual assistant.

However, she is a voice you may have encountered through your headphones before. She additionally disclosed her voice was frequently confused for the voice heard on various tablet devices. Confirming she wasn't the voice of Apple's Siri in a TikTok post, the voice actor says she does supply the connectivity voice lines for Bluetooth products.

Posting on the social media platform, she joked she was "not all of these things," though some assumptions had been accurate,.

She said: "Hello, it's me, the voice actress behind some of your Bluetooth devices but also, oh my gosh, I am not all of these things you guys think I'm everybody.

"Let's clear it up. A ton of you think that I'm Siri. I'm very flattered, I would have loved to be Siri, but Siri was recorded in like, 2005, I was 12. So the real voice of Siri is a woman named Susan Bennett."

She then disclosed the Scansoft origins of the legendary voice, with Susan not receiving any royalties for the use of her work under Apple's new venture.

The TikTok star also revealed people assumed she was the voice of Google Home and Nest products, but rejected being behind "one of the most recognisable voices" in technology.

The third mistake made by admirers of the voice actor was presuming she provided the voice for Alexa, but once again this proved to be a case of confused identities.

Fans are delighted to discover the Bluetooth voice is on TikTok, and swamped the comments in astonishment.

One baffled user commented: "Always thought they were AI generated voices."

Another mentioned their Alexa device had responded to the TikTok and actually been triggered by instructions detected in the viral post.

They revealed: "You triggered my Alexa. She says she isn't sure how to help you with the mansion thing."

Other users who regularly use Bluetooth devices may have recognised the voice previously, as one user comments: "You're the voice in my headphones."
