Really, I am totally stunned and infuriated that Siri can no longer in this
higher version simply find the one Miles in my Contacts and either phone or
text him. Siri never had trouble knowing before that texting meant a mobile
number, and when phoning, if several numbers were in there, I would either
specify or she or he would ask for clarification. Like I said before, I only
have one Miles.
Now I am going to see if I can get some info about how best
Siri shortcuts works. It really is a pain in the butt to have to create
shortcuts for some of the simplest things, especially when it comes to phoning
and texting. I'd also like to delete the suggestions she already has in there
for me because I have edited some of those contacts and don't want to see the
old info in there.
My use of my iPhone is for the voice over menus, and the less
gestures I have to make the better. I have had carpal tunnel in years past that
was extremely debilitating, and having to take additional steps to do things,
such as go into Contacts to call or message someone or have to create a
shortcut with recording one, etc, seems to overcomplicate the beauty the phone
has provided me in the past.
Sorry, but this is one where Siri truly has been dumbed down, not
improved.

SIRI learns a bit over time so if you have two or three contacts with the name
John and you almost always call just one of them SIRI may just call if you say
call John. But for me SIRI has always asked which John, to use that example, I
wanted to call if it was somebody I called less frequently and if I had several
entries with that first name in my contacts. This of course only makes sense
because how would you otherwise be able to call a different John if SIRI ever
only called one of them and often SIRI doesn’t know simply things one would
expect it to know so I don’t think reading one’s mind is going to be on the
menu soon.
My guess is that after the update SIRI maybe reset or lost some of what it
learned over time and is starting to built this up again from scratch.

Why the need for the extra step to get Seeri to recognize someone in my contact
folder? I always used to simply say text and the name of the person, and almost
always only used a first name. That worked. Using Seeri to make calls has been
far less reliable. I guess I'll have to do the shortcut thing, but really...
It's like Richard saying that the Company field doesn't work. Why put it there
then?
All is pretty much worked out by now, except for the different voices. I
definitely have things like the reminders in the old voice but, Seeri has a new
chosen voice since updating. I scanned through some settings after the updates
to see what might have been switched on, but didn't look at
seeri at all. I'll do that now.
Yes, I deleted the Tune In App and installed it again. Since I had no
sign in, I had to put my local stations and shows in again. At first even
though I hit on the favorite button, to select a local radio station, voice
over did not say selected. When I hit favorite on a show, in that case, it
indicated that it had been selected. Oh well. So much for consistency. It's not
a deal breaker.

Hello Deidre,
Once you contact Miles, if you go to Siri settings and go to the shortcuts
section, you should see a shortcut to contact him. You can assign a phrase to
that shortcut like, "Call Miles," and use it to contact him in the future.
Have you deleted and reinstalled TuneIn yet? sounds like that should fix it.
VoiceOver only uses one voice throughout the phone. There are more options for
voices in iOS 12 than 10, though, I think.
Best,
Anna
