IOS – Siri spells the child’s name wrong in texts

contactsiossirivoice-dictation

Siri spells my child’s name wrong in texts. I tried all the suggestions given on here and it didn’t work. Added the field ‘phonetic spelling’ and spelled it the way Siri is spelling it. Then added the field “nickname”. When neither of those worked, I tried putting quotes around the correct spelling of the name. None of these worked. I just got an Xr. I even tapped on ‘tap to edit’and changed it but that didn’t work either.

If a person is a contact and Siri doesn’t pronounce it correctly, you can ask Siri to show you their contact. After she shows it to you, you can say “that’s not how you say that”, and Siri should ask you how to pronounce it.
