| Apple's Siri is all set to get a new upgrade and this time, it is in favour of the millions of Apple fans in India. Apple's voice assistant Siri will now have the ability to recognise the Indian English accent. Apple launched Siri a few years back and it was the first voice assistant ever launched, but it still has a lot of areas of improvements, particularly when it comes to non-English speaking Indians. Apple seems to have taken a cue from Google Now, which was launched after Siri, but is able to recognise the Indian English accent comparatively better. Apple will bring in the tweak with iOS 8.3 release. |  |
A report from 9to5Mac claims that second beta of iOS 8.3, that was shared with the developers brings support for English for India. It means that Siri will now understand the voice commands spoken in Indian English accent. Users will now be able to dictate emails or write-ups to Siri without putting on any fake British or American accent. For getting on with the Indian accent compatible Siri, user has to go to Siri settings menu on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The final version of iOS 8.3 is likely to arrive later this year. Apple will open it for public testing next month, via the public beta version. Apart from supporting the Indian English accent, iOS 8.3 will also bring support for Russian, Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Thai and Turkish accents.
