Apple hiring Siri Annotation Analysts, as it apparently prepares to expand the use of its voice assistant, MacRumors. The countries covered include Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, amongst others.
Apple’s office in Cork, Ireland is hiring people fluent in Ukrainian, Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, Croatian, Greek, Flemish, Romanian, and as ThinkApple points out, Polish. Apple is also hiring people fluent in Indonesian and Vietnamese out of a Singapore office. As described in job listings, Annotation Analysts that work for Apple listen to and transcribe snippets of Siri conversations to evaluate Siri’s responses… These kinds of Siri evaluations were previously done by third-party contracting companies but Apple brought the work in-house following a mid-2019 uproar over the way Apple used Siri recordings for evaluation with little notice to customers.

So wrong results in more languages? Moving forward Apple?
Why still no Welsh?
How about Scots English.
I would love to have siri use Scots.
Tired of her voice in american, british, irish, or australian.
I hope that at the same time they fix the design flaw where when you say “Hey Siri, turn on candle”, candle being a HomeKit scene, but Siri instead turns on some God awful music. The phrase “Turn on” should apply to lighting and switches, “Play” should apply to music.
