‘AnyVoice’ lets Siri speak using nearly 40 different accents

Would you like to hear Siri speak in a British voice? Or perhaps you prefer a Thai accent? With AnyVoice, either of these, plus nearly 40 others are available for you to choose from.

AnyVoice is a upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to easily customize Siri’s accent. Be warned, though, some of the accents are much better sounding than others…
