My
name is Allyson, and I go by Ally. Siri, on my phone, refuses to pronounce my name correctly—she always refers to me as “A Lie.” Can I convince her to
pronounce my name correctly?
Actually, teaching Siri to
pronounce first names correctly is easy. Whenever she “says” a name, you can
prompt her with something like “You said that name wrong.” Siri will ask you to
say the name correctly, and from then on, she’ll get it right. (We were unable
to get Siri to learn pronunciations for last/family names, but people say
online that it’s possible. We tried, and failed.)
You can teach Siri a lot more about
yourself, as well. You can say “Call my brother,” for example, and if you have
not yet indicated who your brother is, Siri will ask you to identify your
brother. Once you have done so, she’ll ask if you want her to remember that the
particular contact is your brother. Once you’ve set up this relationship, you
can then ask her to “Call my brother,” and she’ll know what to do. Before you
can set up these relations, however, you’ll need to tell Siri who you are—you
can do that in Settings-General-Siri.
