Scientists have explained why most AI assistants are women. Finding a female voice that everyone will like is much easier than searching for a male voice.
A woman's voice is associated in a person with the image of a mother, so it is more pleasant for him to hear it. One of the most popular virtual assistants is Siri. Susan Bennett signed a contract with ScanSoft in 2005 and for a month every day she was recording incoherent phrases on a dictaphone, which today the owners of Apple devices listen to every day.
Renowned Microsoft virtual assistant and one of the most recognizable heroines in the gaming industry, Cortana is the voice of American actress Jen Taylor. At 44, she starred in many films, but gamers are familiar with dubbing in Dota 2, Mario, Left 4 Dead and, of course, in the Halo franchise, where she voiced the voice of the eternal partner of the Master Chief Cortana.
Oksana Mandryka's voice in Yandex. Navigator since 2014 has made the service users happy. Unlike the above-named stars, Oksana has never worked as an actress. Several years ago, she recorded audio tracks for a navigator, and then left for France.
Australian singer, announcer, vocal instructor Karen Jacobson sounded the GPS navigation system in the early 2000s. In addition, Jacobson is the Australian Siri. Today she has two books on her account: "Road Map: GPS Navigator Girl for Your Future" and "Recalculate - Driving Route".
Director Spike Jonze's "She" follows the love of writer Theodore Twombly for his operating system, Samantha. The sexy voice of the virtual assistant belongs to the Israeli beauty Scarlett Johansson. The tape is considered one of the most successful in its idea: in the category "Best Original Screenplay", it received an Oscar in 2014.
