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.

The question was re the pronunciation of names, but I assume that the same process would apply to rectifying any mispronunciation? Not that the fate of the world is, entirely, dependent on it, but v O's pronunciation of the game chess is chiss and I would like to reeducate her.! She pronounces less as she should so, why she makes an exception when it comes to chess, I cannot understand.

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. "A guy walks into a bar and says 'ouch!'"

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. -- Casey -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
