It is a known fact that Apple tends to keep its technology and future developments a secret from the outside world until they decide themselves that the people should know about them. Mr. Jon Briggs reportedly got a call from Apple’s public relations representative who warned him against talking about Apple products in public, saying that Apple employees are not allowed to do so.
Mr. Jon Briggs replied that he was not under any contract with Apple and that the voice overs that he did and that are being used in Siri were done with another company by the name of Scansoft. He did the voice overs about six to five years ago.
He further said that he came to know that Apple was using his voice when he first saw a demonstration of Siri on the television. Though he was not told beforehand about his voice beings used, he is nevertheless a fan of Apple products and is happy that the work he has done can live forever.
