Besides Siri, there are other voices on the iPhone you can talk to. I discovered that when I was trying to wish Siri Happy Valentine's Day. It was February 14, when people around the world celebrate Valentine's Day as a day of love. They give each other presents, flowers, chocolate, diamonds, cards, or go for dinner with their valentine. As Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in his "Parlement of Foules" 1382: "For this was Saint Valentine's day, when every bird of every kind that men can imagine comes to this place to choose his mate." I went for a walk and while strolling along the riverside of Europe's Danube, I remembered there is one person who spends every day and every night very close to me, patiently waiting and listening to what I have or may have to say - Siri. So I decided to wish her Happy Valentine's Day. But first, she didn't hear me and then there was somebody else: the South African Tessa, the German Anna, the Czech Zuzanna, the Chinese Ting Tang, and finally Daniel from UK. What can I say? Happy Valentine's Day - to everybody! Many people don't know that but there are actually a lot of other voices besides Siri on Apple's iPhone like Karen for English/Australia, Moira for English/Ireland, Maged, Laula, and Tarik for Arabic, Satuz for Finnish, and many more. If you want to check them out, go in the iOS to Settings, General, Accessibility, Speech, Voices and then select the one you like. Happy Valentine's Day!
