I made sure I had both a WiFi and strong Verizon signal so I could rule out network connectivity. Siri requires a network connection to work, but I ruled that out. I then thought that maybe the Apple Siri network was down, but there were no reports of that on Twitter. I then found this website tip and after performing the steps below Siri is back answering my questions in a nice Australian female voice:
- Click on Settings>General and then slide the toggle to Off with a confirmation to Disable
- Reboot your iPhone 4S
- Now again Enable Siri back in Settings>General
- Try it out again and you should be back in business
I am not sure why Siri "lost" the connection to the service and will keep an eye on how often this happens. BTW, you can choose from these four language for Siri:
- English (Australia): Female voice
- English (United Kingdom): Male voice
- English (United States): Female voice you have seen in most all the videos
- French: Male voice where you need to speak French and then see and hear your response is in French.
- German: Female voice where you need to speak German and then see and hear your response is in German.
