Ever wondered about the identity of the voice of Samantha you hear in iOS and


elsewhere?

A bit from the article at the URL above, but once the page has actually loaded, the article starts at the first heading. Really cool and useful!

?The voice of Apple's voice assistant Siri has been revealed as Georgia-based voiceover actress Susan Bennett.

Bennett made the revelation to CNN, eight years after lending her voice to a 2005 project for ScanSoft, which eventually acquired Nuance, the company that powers Siri. As a result, Bennett did not know she would one day be the voice behind a pop culture icon. When Siri was released on the iPhone 4S in 2011, it was friends who recognized her voice and filled her in.
