I thought that was the voice of Siri. Samantha doesn't sound like Siri at all.GizmoGuy411 wrote:Ok... just slightly off topic, but have you heard that the person behind "Samantha", our favorite Waze TTS voice product from the company Nuance here in the US has finally revealed her true identity?
Her name is Susan Bennett from the Atlanta area.
The story broke on CNN, a couple days ago, when she revealed that she was the voice of Siri on iOS products.

I think I like hearing our Samantha talk even more now!

Personally, I wish I could change them over to Jane Barbe.
