Granted I’m not someone who uses AI assistants a lot, but I’ve never seen anyone use any other voices than the default one (Red). There are 10 voices for Google Assistant, apparently. Do you or someone you know use them?

    I switched my Alexa to Australian female voice as I found it less annoying than the default UK female one.

    For me it depended on the phone.

    On my nexus 5 I couldn’t hear the maps navigator unless it was set to that one ‘black lady voice’. That way I could hear it in a moving car with air conditioning.

    Then after that I was using a Stylo3 Plus for a few years and that phone didn’t have enough treble for the lady voice so I had to use the ‘guy who sounds like the pod from nAutomata’ because that was the only voice that had a lot of deepness to it.

    Now I use a VELVET and it’s on aussie girl voice. Same reasoning again :) ‘to be able to hear it in a moving car’

    I switched my Android assistant to a man’s voice; a woman’s voice serving as my digital assistant has always felt mildly sexist to me.

      Is Android assistant different to Google assistant? As I want a virtual assistant on my device, but don’t use Google fro anything.
