Yeah, Apple's Siri can be male or female at the user's choice. I don't know about the Android voice.

I understand Microsoft wanting to re-deploy their much beloved female from Halo gaming, but they didn't think it through.

What's a "roy voice"? Was that supposed to be "boy voice"?

A roy is a unidentified male.
So a roy voice is an unidentified male voice, hopefully masculine in tone.

Is a Roy voice supposed to harken to those bygone days of Roy Rodgers? Never heard of that term before.

I don't know.

That Roy would sound much better to me than cortana...
And The Duke's voice would also be wonderful.

Huh, interesting -- that's a new term for my lexicon.

And I agree, The Duke's voice would make a great phone assistant.
