Hi,
Did you ever find that Siri spells your name or that of someone you
regularly write to incorrectly?
I found this very useful tip on how to fix this.
The full video is available at:
https://deciphertools.com/blog/fix-iphone-siri-dictation-spelling/
Here is a breakdown of the steps in the video:
.
Add a contact in your iPhone Contacts app with the first name of the word
how you want it spelled. If it's a word that should always be capitalized,
make sure it is capitalized here. If it shouldn't, make sure the name is
written in lowercase.
.
After typing in the first name, scroll to the bottom & tap "add field" then
tap "Phonetic First Name". Scroll back up and you'll have a new field under
the name of phonetic first name.
.
Tap that phonetic first name field and dictate in the word. This will tell
the voice capture how the name "sounds" then tap done to save it. (It could
be typed, but dictation ensures you get the spelling matched precisely.)
.
After setting the phonetic first name, make sure Siri is enabled, and then
go to
Settings > General > Keyboard. Turn off Dictation, and then turn it back on
again.
Then Go to settings>Siri and search and turn off "Listen for Hey Siri" and
turn Siri off and then back on again.
(These two actions are needed to force the new name customization to be
picked up).
.
Double-tap the home button to bring up the app switching screen. Swipe up
over the Contacts app to force close it. Also, swipe up over whatever app
you want to use voice dictation with immediately, to close that too. This
forces the apps to reload the settings for dictation ASAP so your fix is
ready for use.
This did the job for me, let's see how you get on!
All the best,
