In Speculative Fiction, computers can speak. It certainly beats having the audience read a computer screen. Most of the time the voice is female (theories on why vary, see below) to emphasize the "otherness" of the A.I.'s nature, but there are many examples of male and gender-neutral synthesized voices. Generally, they all carry a pleasant (if somewhat dull) monotone. If it should ever become (or started out with) a Creepy Monotone, watch out.
The gender will vary depending on the intentions of the computer. If it is designed to be utilitarian, military-like, then it will be male. If it is supposed to be very user friendly for the tech-ignorant, then it will be female. The Star Trek franchise even shows this evolution: in the original series the female voice was always used when accessing encyclopedic information. The movies were more military-like, so it used a male voice. The Next Generation era computers were simply the most user-friendly computer possible short of reading your thoughts.
This has been referred to as the most common sci-fi female character archetype. That is, since Most Writers Are Male, and the Sci Fi Ghetto is particularly associated with male fans, there are a disproportionate number of male characters but somehow the idea of the female computer has gotten lodged into the collective unconscious. Probably not coincidentally, these A.I.'s will have long, largely nonsensical descriptions whose acronyms 'just happen' to spell feminine names. For example, the Computer-Human Liaison Officer Executable, or CHLOE for short.
It's a bit deeper than a simple case of Most Writers Are Male. Culturally, unfamiliar female voices are taken as less threatening than male ones, particularly low-pitched male ones. That's why male voices in interface systems tend to be higher-pitched rather than in the James Earl Jones registers. They aren't as off-putting.
The tendency toward female voices may stem from Real Life: Companies initially hired teenage boys as telephone operators, but by 1900 the vast majority of them were female. Not only were the voices soothing, but the women tended not to be, well, hormonal balls of rage. It is also possible that the ability to pay women less than men was another added benefit.
Additionally, studies have shown that under stressful conditions, like being in the middle of an aerial dogfight, it's easier to understand what a female voice is saying compared to male voices. With this in mind, it makes sense to give a feminine voice to systems that are very important to listen to.
Also worth mentioning: the naval tradition of giving ships feminine names, as well as giving abstract ideas a female Anthropomorphic Personification (Reason, Liberty, Justice, Rumor, the goddess of wisdom, etc.) is very, very old. Stands to reason it would extend to giving spaceships female names, and since the computer is the "brain" of the ship...

Kamen Rider Revice: The Demons Driver has Kenjiro Tsuda's baritone announcing its transformation sequence in a robotic manner, with a second, much deeper voice repeating the English words it says in Japanese. Double Subverted in that the Driver is possessed by Vail, who intentionally makes himself sound like one, but the mass-produced versions of the Driver keeps his voice for the announcements.

StarCraft. The adjutant is more cyborg than computer, but still a she and responsible for a lot of basic stuff like that.
As far as actual gameplay goes though (in other words, ignoring the single line of dialogue in the first Terran campaign where the adjutant actually acts as a computer), the Executor and the Zerg Overmind, both undoubtedly male, serve the same purpose.

Monodam in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony speaks in a stereotypical computer voice to emphasize his more robotic nature compared to the other Monokubs. In the original Japanese version, his dialogue is written in katakana in place of hiragana, and in English, his sentences are in all caps and his words are separated by hyphens, JUST-LIKE-THIS.

Starsiege has the creepy Cybrid battle computer. You might call it 'male' if only because it's deeper than the obviously female voice for the humans' computer voice, but it has a rough, inhumanly mechanical undertone in each syllable. Quite fitting for a race of homicidal rogue artificial intelligences.

Starting with Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark's masculine JARVIS has been replaced by an Irish accented feminine voice named FRIDAY. JARVIS is too busy being The Vision these days.
Spider-Man: Homecoming gives Peter a suit designed by Tony, with an initially nameless AI that he would eventually name Karen. Eventually, Peter would be given control of a sophisticated defense system created by Tony in case of his death. Its voice, while female, is nothing like FRIDAY or Karen's. Its name: EDITH, standing for "Even Dead, I'm The Hero."

SARAH in Eureka, the main hero's smart house. And her voice is actually an alteration of her creator, the Plucky Comic Relief Butt-Monkey computer nerd character. Freaky coming from Fargo.
He wanted to use Sarah Michelle Gellar's voice, but she didn't return his calls.
Then there's FRED, the prototype military AI which Fargo used as SARAH's core, who gets reactivated in one episode and attempts to kill humans (actually kills a pizza delivery guy). Naturally, FRED has a deep male, unemotional voice.

Still in X-Universe: Contrasting with the ships' autopilot, the stations' "Automated Interaction System" is a male voice. Like with the autopilot, it was heavilly filtered in the first game, but it was made more natural in later ones. However, the announces are still voiced by a female.
Also, the welcome message becomes more formal the more the player reputation with the owner race is high.
Curiously, Pirate stations' voices are not very monotone, and not formal at all.

Totally Spies!:
G.L.A.D.I.S. (Gadget Lending And Distribution Interactive System) has a fully-formed personality of the snarky variety; not afraid to talk back to her human superiors or refuse to do things she considers beneath her, she’s also been known to dabble in origami and magic tricks.
The Love Computer - an electronic matchmaking device featured in one episode - has a similar voice to G.L.A.D.I.S. and is even more overtly snarky (so much so that one of the spies even draws attention to the similarities).

Ikaruga is more likely to fall into this category, it is rather hard to judge whether if the ship's AI is male or female. Then again, this is probably because of the first player is male, while second player is female, and that both ships feature the same AI voice although being two completely different ships.

In Borderlands 2, Hyperion computers (especially the New-U Stations) all speak with the same calm, pleasant female voice. Lampshaded by Claptrap when he fails to unlock a security door and the voice tells him Hyperion troops are on their way
In "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep", where everything is written by Tina, a New-U Station computer might actually complain about having to speak in that pleasant tone all the time.
Subverted by all of the talking guns. One used to be a combat robot, and has an unnaturally deep male voice. Another was designed to make you feel like garbage, so it has a harsh female voice that's always criticizing you. The third is a supposedly cursed weapon with a shrill female voice that never stops shrieking and drove all of its previous users insane.

The Combine Overwatch voice in Half-Life 2 and the Episodes falls under this trope.
The original Half-Life has the breaking/broken PA system, and the HEV suit's voice.
The French HEV Suit's voice could be either gender.
The Fan Remake of Half-Life, Black Mesa, plays with this by having the PA system use the female voice from the tram until the military takes control of it, at which point it changes mid-sentence to a very intimidating male voice.

Halo 3: ODST's Superintendent has a unique variation of this: "he" speaks in a somewhat high-pitched, gender-neutral voice, but in fact only can speak in pre-recorded messages. When trying to prevent a squad of Marines from blowing up a bridge, he urges them to "please respect public property." When he changes his mind, he says "Bridge toll accepted. Have a pleasant trip." In the audio-file side story, he's shown to play certain other sounds - for example, a cane tapping and a seeing-eye dog barking, meaning he can't see what's going on.

The AI voice in Heavy Gear video games was inspired by the one in the MechWarrior 2 games, due to Activision losing the rights to the latter, then gaining the rights to make the former. The computer voice had a male register and spoke in an extremely curt noticeably stitched-together Received Pronunciation accent, usually to tell you that you'd gotten yourself shot up.

The on-board computer ANGUS in Millennia: Altered Destinies has a masculine voice and always sounds calm and soothing, even in critical situations. This helps, since you only really ever hear him talk, even when communicating with representatives of four alien species. Their grunts and squeaks are translated by ANGUS in his own voice.

In Fallout, the Master had three voices, and used them to accentuate the point he wanted to make. He had his normal "exposition" voice, an "angry" male voice, and a soft, almost joyous female voice that he used whenever he said something he wanted you to like, or when he was on the defensive, such as:
An example of how the voices are used: One Master line is, "Join us or die. Join. Die! Join. Die!" The normal text is "Exposition Master", the italics are "Female Master", and the bold is "Angry Master".

The VI interfaces in Mass Effect are certainly related: they are holograms that serve as interfaces to allow you to interact with computer systems. The ones in the citadel are Asari (monogendered female-like species). Later both male and female human variations are seen, and even a Prothean one, though due to 50,000 years of wear and tear, that one looks like a irregular sphere rather than resembling an actual Prothean. Then we meet a VI who looks like an actual Prothean in Mass Effect 3.
Geth have a neutral voice that also persists when they communicate with organics (as is the case with Legion, for example). They're able to speak fluently, though. Particularly jarring is their original speech pattern as shown in the part of the game where Sheppard goes through historical documents: The original geth (right when they achieve sentience) spoke in a very monotonous voice where each word had exactly one intonation: they basically sound like the first synthetic voice simulators humans have come up with in reality (which is funny considering how far we have come with synthetic voice programs but how far an actual A.I. still is away).

All three time zones and the present time in the first The Journeyman Project game have male computer voices in the Pegasus Prime remake, compared to the largely female voices in Turbo. Course, the time zones in question (save for 200 million BC) are all future history periods.
Gage Blackwood's apartment in Pegasus Prime has a British-accented computer of its own that runs the devices there, and the TSA gave him a female AI on a Biochip that acts as the text window in Turbo.
There's even a male computer voice in the World Science Center in 2310 that has an Australian accent, and the Turbo version has an Asian actress for the Japanese Mars Colony in 2185. The three evil robots in these time zones don't count.
In the second and third games, your AI Arthur has a friendly but a little snarky voice.

KITT in Knight Rider has a soft male voice (William Daniels, better known as Mister Feeny this side of The '90s, originally; Val Kilmer in the new series), likely due to it being intended as a military vehicle. KITT's Evil Twin KARR has a much deeper male voice (Peter Cullen, who also voiced Optimus Prime in The Transformers).
In the new series, KARR transforms into a robot, making the choice of using Peter Cullen again even more appropriate.

The Star Trek Continues series has Marina Sirtis doing the computer voice. A nice Shout-Out. There was a movement to cast Sirtis for the computer voice in Enterprise as well.

In Andrey Livadny's The History of the Galaxy series, the voice of the serv-machine AIs is feminine, by default, for male pilots and masculine for females. In fact, thanks to the pilots associating voice with gender, the AIs themselves, thanks to the neural links, begin to take on more sexualized characteristics in their personalities. A number of novels revolve around radical cases when an AI would somehow end up in a human body (through a brain implant) and become the pilot's romantic partner.

In Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Online 2, CASTs, a race of intelligent androids, can speak as animatedly as their biological compatriots. Their voices, however, have a very distinct electronic reverb effect added to them.

In The Andromeda Strain, the computer in the secret underground base plays pre-recorded messages spoken by a... pleasant female voice. A minor subversion: The voice actually belongs to a 60-year-old woman. The voice is arguably the Trope Codifier for, if not the Computer Voice, then the use of the Computer Voice to pleasantly announce really unpleasant information.

In one episode of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Wayne turns his home into a smart house with a pleasant female voice with the primary directive of protecting the family. His wife takes a disliking to the computer (and the voice) and, after the house, naturally, goes crazy, demands that the voice be changed. She suggests George Clooney's voice, prompting Wayne to protest that she would never leave the house.

I Am Mother. The eponymous Mother is a mechanical robot with the voice of Rose Byrne. Given that its role is to raise children, a more gentle, empathic voice would be needed. This becomes a brief plot point when the Woman who enters the bunker fails to realise the "mother" she overhears Daughter talking to is the same as the Killer Robots who have been hunting her for years.

Spider-Man: Homecoming gives Peter a suit designed by Tony, with an initially nameless AI that he would eventually name Karen. Eventually, Peter would be given control of a sophisticated defense system created by Tony in case of his death. Its voice, while female, is nothing like FRIDAY or Karen's. Its name: EDITH, standing for "Even Dead, I'm The Hero."

The Emperor's "voice actor" in If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device is apparently an actual text-to-speech device - in fact, the Emperor getting a TTS is the entire premise of the show. He sounds like regular text-to-speech devices with masculine, non-emotive voice. Amusingly, he still tries to get the occasional Big Word Shout through it, even though every time it's clear it's not going to work. * As in, "FUUUUUUUUUCK" comes out as "Fiuiuiuiuahck", which has considerably less weight as a curse word.

Parodied on Invader Zim: Zim's Computer (the AI system for his entire base) often seems to have more common sense than its master, outright telling Zim that his plans will fail, but is never heeded. At other times it becomes whiny when Zim orders it around, or will even refuse to work at all, complaining that Zim doesn't pay him. It's the electronically distorted voice of Jhonen Vasquez.

The Andromeda Strain. The computer in the Wildfire secret underground base plays pre-recorded messages spoken by a pleasant female voice. It is revealed that the voice, which one scientist describes as "luscious," is that of a woman in her 60's, turning it into in-universe Fetish Retardant. The book points out that the most sexy voice the military could find is used for voice reminder systems on the theory that men will pay more attention to it. However when the same voice plainly announces the nuclear countdown, Stone and Hall find this extremely infuriating.

Starting with the PS2 games, Armored Core featured the option of changing your AC's computer voice, which the player only ever really heard at the beginning and end of missions. In Armored Core 2 and later games, this was achieved by installing another head (which would cause the player to shell out a few creds just to get rid of the "neuter" voice of the default head unit). In other games, this was changed to an option in the garage menu. In the original Armored Core, the head unit also changed the computer's voice, although one had to experiment to find the different voices; in ''AC2'', this function appeared in the specs.

In Star Citizen, each of the starship manufacturers installs their own Bitching Betty system that calls out warnings to the pilot.
Male Betty users include Aegis Dynamics (a defense contractor) and Roberts Space Industries' cheaper offerings. Aegis uses a stern, human-like voice while cheap RSI ships use a very synthetic voice, to the point where it can be difficult to understand
Female Betty user include Origin Jumpworks Gmbh (a BMW expy), Anvil Aerospace (a defense contractor), Drake Interplanetary (a legitimate builder that does not cater to pirates), Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern (utilitarian Space Trucker manufacturer), and more expensive RSI offerings. Origin uses a soothing slightly synthetic voice, while MISC uses a grating heavily synthesized voice. Drake and Anvil are both variations on somewhat stern, synthetic voices.

Cyberpunk 2077 has this in various forms. The AI for the automated Delamain cabs speaks with a posh male British accent (when they aren't suffering breakdowns that make them skittish or violent). There is also Adam Smasher, Arasaka's top enforcer and a Full-Conversion Cyborg whose menacingly deep voice is made all the more unsettling by its electronic rasp.

Averted with the Cardassians and Romulans. This is in fact used in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager (titled "Dreadnought") when a Federation computer fights to take over a Cardassian system. A male and female voice stating what they're trying to in counterpoint was actually an interesting dramatic device. However the Cardassian space station Terok Nor later to be known as Starbase Deep Space Nine used a female voice. Deep Space Nine's voiceover was a different actress, Judi Durand, and the voice is lower and a bit less friendly, befitting the Cardassians. (All Federation computers in the Deep Space Nine series are still Barrett, though.)
The missile computer's voice is actually B'Elanna's, as when she reprogrammed it as a Maquis, she was sick of the unemotional masculine voice.

Metroid
Metroid Fusion: The AI in the ship's computer isn't voiced, but in the final confrontation between it and Samus, its Voice Grunting text beeps have a noticeably deeper tone than Samus'. The character is male as well, as Samus finds out during this confrontation.
Metroid Dread: ADAM, acting as Samus' ship's computer, is voiced with a male-voiced text-to-speech program.

Despite having a male name (Gideon) the time ship's computer in Legends of Tomorrow has a female voice (and avatar).

In Babylon 5, the all-purpose computers in people's quarters have a female voice. Although when Garibaldi reboots the station's main computer as a security measure, he restores a forgotten feature - a very snarky personality called "Sparky" with a male voice (provided by Harlan Ellison, who worked on the series as a consultant). Garibaldi hates it, and spends most of his time in that episode trying to get rid of it, but it's the snark and not the gender of the voice that he finds grinding.

Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey: Invoked — the Virtual Librarian is an electronic version of Wishbone and has a computer-generated voice, sounding just like Wishbone's but with a faint electronic hum to it.

The Voice of the Pod's computer in Innerspace. Although it gives most of its information in a level & businesslike tone, when the Pod is in danger it gains a note of urgency.
"Approaching Tricuspid valve of Heart! Do not enter, do not enter Heart!"
(said with a note of fustration) "Thruster Inoperative!"
