October 4 - on this day celebrating his birthday charming virtual assistant Siri. Today, she turns 2 years. In fact, the development began much earlier, but fell under the wing of Apple, it became such what we know it. Unfortunately, of Siri has not yet friends with the Russian, but I want to believe that soon we will hear from her, "Hi!".
I'm sure many wondered: "Who is this girl who is the voice of Siri?». Today, the mystery becomes a reality! It turns out that the voice belongs to the American broadcaster, master Voiceover Susan Bennett. Of course, Apple has never talked about it, but Susan had a contract with it on a voice recording. The most surprising is that he was signed as far back as 2005. However, the use of records found after only six years.

In an interview with Bennett admitted that read clock monotonous text awfully tiring. "This is one of the reasons why sometimes it seems that Siri has some sort of view. These audio tracks have probably been recorded in the last 15 minutes of a four-hour session, "- she joked. Initially Susan knew her voice would be used in any project. However, when she went to the Apple site, I found that the samples recorded in the six years before the release of iPhone 4s, useful to the company. After the release of the smartphone many of her friends have started to wonder whether it is not voiced by Siri. But Apple has never officially informed about working with Bennett.
