Susan Bennett, a voice actor from suburban Atlanta, told CNN in an interview published Friday that she's the voice behind Siri. To confirm her claim, CNN worked with an audio forensics expert who claims with 100 percent certainty that the voice of Siri is, in fact, hers.

Siri is by no means the only place Bennett claims we can hear her voice. She says that she has made a wide array of voiceover recordings for companies, including Delta Airlines. Her voice can also be heard on GPS devices and other electronics, going way back to the early days of ATMs.
With the launch of iOS 7, Siri no longer speaks with a single voice. Now users have the option to choose a male voice instead of the female. But Bennett doesn't seem concerned with being thrust into obscurity.
