MacOS 27 Beta Hides Trippy Siri ‘Voice Pad’ Interface With 13 Voices For macOS 27 Golden Gate, Apple appears to be working on an immersive new interface for choosing Siri AI’s voice, based on findings in the latest beta. MacRumors forum member " mactracker " has shared what they call a hidden "voice pad" in the macOS 27 beta 4, which was released on Monday.
When enabled, the interface replaces the System Settings menu for Siri’s voice options with a nearly black canvas, with the currently selected voice marked by a colored dot. Pressing, holding, and moving around the pad with your pointer brings the interface to life, causing various colors to transition across the view as more dots appear and the voice modulates through different characteristics. It gives users an early chance to try Apple’s biggest software update of the year. Siri AI is the headline feature.
The release also includes a redesigned Screen Time experience, Liquid Glass refinements, performance upgrades, and dozens of quality-of-life changes. Here’s how to install the beta, what’s new, and which features you should try first.
