On Friday, CNN revealed that voice actor Susan Bennett is the voice behind Siri, Apple's personal assistant on iPhones and iPads.
"I'm the actor who provided the voice for Siri," she told CNN. Bennett said she didn't know she voiced Siri until Apple integrated it into the iPhone in 2011. "A colleague e-mailed me [about Siri] and said, 'Hey, we've been playing around with this new Apple phone. Isn't this you?'" she said. Once Bennett heard Siri's voice, she knew it was.
There has been a lot of speculation about who was behind the now famous voice. Just last month, The Verge posted a video about Siri that caused some to incorrectly believe that Siri was played by a woman named Allison Duffy. Duffy was forced to write a blog post saying that she was not Siri.
Though Siri is now a feature of Apple phones, it was originally created by a company of the same name. As the Huffington Post previously reported, Apple overhauled Siri when it purchased it, arguably for the worse by stripping it of its attitude and many of its best features.
