How can you teach Siri to pronounce your name correctly?

By SK 0 comments Last updated December 3, 2011

You may not be happy about how Siri pronounces your name. If Siri is pronouncing your name (or any name) incorrectly, you can easily add phonetic first/last names so that Siri can pronounce them correctly.  Here is how:

  1. Open the Contacts app
  2. Select the contact that Siri is pronouncing incorrectly
  3. Tap “edit”,  tap “add field” then add phonetic first and last names; just spell it how it sounds
  4. Tap “Done”
