Isn't her name Alexa? And Apple uses Siri and Microsoft uses Cortana. All female the last time I checked.

EDITED: Here's a pic of Siri.

I don't know if these intrusive devices are Google or Bezos, Microsoft or Apple, man, woman, neither or both. As the B-ball payer Dikembe Mutombo said, "Not in my house".

?????? and when did google maps turn female?

It's always had a feminine voice on my phone.

I always thought Alexa was Amazon, not Google, but I'll give my brother Bill a solid pass, due to such a mighty fine coffee this a.m

I have never heard the 'speech' of Alexa, Google maps, Cortana or Siri - I could not even hazard a guess as to which of the fifty-seven genders these are.

The famous voice behind Google maps is of Karen Jacobsen who is an Australia-born and New York-based entertainer, singer, motivational speaker, voice-over artist, and songwriter. Know more about her at - The GPS Girl | Recalculate... - a website dedicated to Karen.

The original voice of GrandCentral and Google Voice belonged to actress and voice-over artist, Laurie Burke [1], but has been replaced with recordings by Kiki Baessell, a Googler who had no experience in professional voice-overs, but was chosen because of her pleasant, familiar voice.

The voice of Alexa, the virtual assistant developed by Amazon, is provided by Nina Rolle, a Colorado-based voiceover artist, according to a new book.

Oh yeah... you're right. I apologize.

 

[ShamrockPat]

I apologize.

No apology needed or required Bill. Just pour me another cup of that coffee

I always used to put the aussie girl on my garmin because I liked her voice.

Yes so far (ePacket is very slow though) and paying a few dollars more for Expedited shipping gets it there much faster.
