If so, I suspect they’ll be okay in a court of law — having a voice similar to a celebrity isn’t illegal.
It’ll likely cheese off actors and performers though.

Is there a distinction?
Are they trying to make it sound like Her, or SJ? Or just trying to go for a similar style? i.e. making artistic choices in designing their product
Note: I've never watched the movie.
She may have something only if it turns out that the training set for that voice is composed of some recordings of her (the person, not the movie), which I highly doubt and is, unfortunately, extremely hard to prove. Even that wouldn't be much, though, as it could be ruled a derivative work, or something akin to any celebrity impersonator. Those guys can even advertise themselves using the actual name of the celebrities involved and it's allowed.
Me personally, I hope she takes them to court anyway, as it will be an interesting trial to follow.
An interesting facet is, copyright law goes to the substance of the copyrighted work; in this case, because of the peculiarities of her character in "her", she is pretty much only voice, I wonder if that make things look different to the eyes of a judge.
That falls under copyright, trademarks, ...
