Re: fixing the way siri says someones name

[Mike B.]

Hi Jewel,

I don't know all the spelling configurations you've tried, so please forgive 
me if what I'm suggesting has been tried & failed.  Have you tried spelling 
chess by putting an, h, between the, e, & first, s, ?
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Voice-over, Karen in particular, is pretty good at pronouncing words, but I 
have told you that no matter what method I use, I cannot get her to say 
chess.  It always comes out as Chiss.
However, having said that, someone, Richard perhaps, said that Karen 
enhanced. when he challenged her did say chess.  When I looked at 
settings/voice-over etc, I was told that it was Karen, but whether it was 
Karen enhanced or Karen un..., I was not told.
Now, pressing forward, when I am playing the word game, "Seven Little Words" 
from time to time, she will spell a word rather than saying it.
An example is arctic:  a r c t i c.
I went to settings/voice-over/pronunciation" and typed in a r c t i c, and 
then dictated arctic.  When I tapped play, arctic was said, but when I 
checked it in the solutions column of SLW, it was still a r c t i c.
Of course, the a r c t i c is not going to melt any faster than it is now if 
she continues to spell it, but it would be a feather in my cap, if I could 
persuade her that arctic is the way to go!

Hi, 
Have you tried to use the pronunciation dictionary in VO settings? You can 
dictate how you want it to be pronounced then select the right one.

to get Siri to say your name correctly.






To teach Siri how to say a name correctly,

Siri will then ask you how to pronounce the contact's first name. Say the name 
correctly.


Siri will offer you two or three pronunciation options to choose from. Select

If none of the options are close enough, tap Tell Siri Again to repeat the 
process until you get a pronunciation you like.






Siri will then repeat the process for the contact's last name as well. Having

Hi Jewel,I just switch my voice to Karen enhanced, it says chess just fine.
I wonder why that would be. Less and chess rhyme as they should.

Re: fixing the way Siri says someones name

[Jewel]

I did say that it was voice over: Karen I think, that says chiss instead of 
chess, while she has no trouble with less.
To  ascertain if it was only specific to  iAssociate that this anomaly 
occurred, I have just sent a text to a friend in which, apropos of nothing at 
all, I wrote chess, but she: Karen?:  still read it as chiss.

Which voice are you using?

I gather you are actually talking about the way VoiceOver says the word chess, 
not Siri.

Tom says Chess just fine.

To change VO’s pronunciation of a word you can go into the VoiceOver settings, 
Speech, pronunciation and enter the word and then enter the fonetic spelling 
you want to get it to pronounce it correctly.

How to Get Siri to Say Your Name Correctly

By Sarah Kingsbury updated on 07/07/2016

 

 

 

Siri isn’t always so great at pronouncing names correctly. The AI is great for 
calling or sending messages, but it’s incredibly frustrating when you tell Siri 
to call Jaqueline and the AI searches the web for Violins. Luckily, you can 
teach Siri to pronounces your name or any name. Part of the personal 
assistant's capabilities is being able to learn. Whether it’s your name or a 
friends, you can correct Siri’s pronunciation in a few short steps. Here’s how 
to get Siri to say your name correctly.

 

 

 

To teach Siri how to say a name correctly,

 

hold the home button to activate Siri and then say, "That's not how 

 

 

 

Siri will then ask you how to pronounce the contact's first name. Say the name 
correctly.

 

Siri will offer you two or three pronunciation options to choose from. Select 
the one that is the correct pronunciation.

 

 

 

If none of the options are close enough, tap Tell Siri Again to repeat the 
process until you get a pronunciation you like.

 

 

 

Siri will then repeat the process for the contact's last name as well. Having 
corrected Siri’s pronunciation, the AI should be able to say your name, or a 
friend's name, correctly now.

RE: fixing the way siri says someones name

[Alan Lemly]

Provided you're using iOS 10.x, you can add custom pronunciations. Go to 
Settings, General, Accessibility, Speech, Pronunciations and add the words you 
wish. You type in the word being mispronounced in the phrase field and in the 
substitution field either type in the correct phonetic pronunciation or dictate 
it. I'll warn you that dictating has been spotty at best with iOS 10.2.

Moving on from Siri pronouncing names wrongly, can one give voice-over: in my

The everyday word being comic which Samantha/Karen pronounces as "carmic".

The future of the nation will neither rise nor will it fall by it, but I want 
to reeducate whichever of the worthy ladies is filling the role of voice-over 
supremo as to its correct pronunciation.

If she pronounces comic as carmic, which she does, she should pronounce copy as 
carpy which she does not.

RE: fixing the way siri says someones name

[Alan Lemly]

Casey and Richard,

 

I'm not saying this is a fact but Casey's difficulty in getting Siri to 
pronounce a name correctly feels very similar to the issue I was having adding 
custom pronunciations using the dictate button. I know others have posted about 
similar problems with dictate and this feels like a related issue.

I have no idea.

Try that and see. If that doesn't work, that leaves two options the way I see 
it.

1. Siri cannot say it the way you want.

2. Call Apple Accessibility and see if they have other ideas.

Good luck.

Re: fixing the way siri says someones name

[Casey]

Hi okay I did all of that.
But what about correcting if you ran threw all of those steps and you 
have found out that it is still saying no the way you want it/

How do you correct that?
Do you have to go and delete the persons contact and re add it from 
scratch again and then maybe it will fix it?

How to Get Siri to Say Your Name Correctly
By Sarah Kingsbury updated on 07/07/2016



Siri isn't always so great at pronouncing names correctly. The AI is great for 
calling or sending messages, but it's incredibly frustrating when you tell Siri 
to call Jaqueline and the AI searches the web for Violins. Luckily, you can 
teach Siri to pronounces your name or any name. Part of the personal 
assistant's capabilities is being able to learn. Whether it's your name or a 
friends, you can correct Siri's pronunciation in a few short steps. Here's how 
to get Siri to say your name correctly.



To teach Siri how to say a name correctly,

hold the home button to activate Siri and then say, "That's not how



Siri will then ask you how to pronounce the contact's first name. Say the name 
correctly.

Siri will offer you two or three pronunciation options to choose from. Select 
the one that is the correct pronunciation.



If none of the options are close enough, tap Tell Siri Again to repeat the 
process until you get a pronunciation you like.



Siri will then repeat the process for the contact's last name as well. Having 
corrected Siri's pronunciation, the AI should be able to say your name, or a 
friend's name, correctly now.

Hi I have someone in my contact list that one time siri asked me how to say 
that persons name.
So now how can you correct that way siri is saying the name if you didn't like 
what she has changed it to if you have already had her make the change once?
And told her that was the way to say it.
