How do you become the voice of iPhone's 'Siri'?

PM

Available for over a year

Barbara Streisand has called the head of Apple to ask him to change the way 'Siri' - the voice of iPhone - says her name. At the moment it is pronounced incorrectly but will be changed in September. Jon Briggs is the original voice of Siri in the UK - you might also recognise his voice from The Weakest Link. As he explained to Carolyn Quinn, voice recognition systems are very complex to create. He starts with a demo. (Photo: Apple iPhone showing 'Siri' Credit: Getty )
