Siri name pronounciation

Siri is mispronouncing one of my contact's name. I remember when you could use Siri to change the pronunciation. Now it just sends me to the contacts app to write the name phonetically. I did this and Siri is still mispronouncing the name. Is there any solution to fix this? Seems like a step backward for Apple.

iPhone 4s, iOS 9

Siri is No Longer Pronouncing my Contact Names Correctly. It seems like Siri isn’t pronouncing my contact names correctly and it is becoming a bit of an annoyance; especially when the previous updates made it super easy to train Siri to pronounce names simply by allowing Siri to record your voice then, coming up with various ways to choose the correct form. Currently apple has added a feature in Contacts to add the pronunciation however, even after breaking syllables down in Lehman terms, Siri is not quite getting it right. is there a way to correct this issue and will Apple acknowledge that this is a talked about problem; hopefully find a way to resolve it?

is there any way to help Siri pronounce. words and names correctly Siri is mispronouncing many names and websites incorrectly. How do I give it an example of how to pronounce them correctly ? Why doesn’t it pronounce them the way I pronounce a name when I ask for that contact ? I have tried voice over settings and it worked for awhile; not anymore without having full voice over (the accessibility feature of naming everything I touch). I have an Iphone 14 pro running 17.6.1 Thanks for help.

Hi lowinger,

If you've edited the pronunciation in Settings and are still having issues, you'll need to reach out to Apple to look into this with you further. You can get started on that here: Get Support

Cheers.
