Is there anyway to teach the voice recognition system on iMessage new names and words? For example my name is Taimoor but whenever I dictate into iMessage the name shows up as tame more. Thank you.
iPhone 6, iOS 8
I need help with this too. I live abroad and commonly use foreign words that I need spelled in the Roman alphabet as I speak English. How can I add these words and train the iPhone to recognize and input them?
That's great for NAMES, but what about when Siri gets everything else wrong. For example, I asked for Siri to look up the word sentiment… See, still putting the wrong freaking weird! UGH! There too! Sentient* Word*. AHHHH! Then, I tried to word sentence. AGAIN. Sentience*. (Uh, *** happened to word suggestions after 8.1.1 today?)
, Here's the deal. I can't type., We're dismissing at the beginning of the sentence. Oh look, more is missing. This is ridiculous I use talk to text all the time because I have to. His post looks awful. What is going on fix this!
EDIT: That has got to be the Worst (Uh, I wanted THERE but I guess talk to text does not do that. And it randomly capitalize the word there. What is going on?). Post I have ever made. This is horrible. How do I downgrade back to 8.0.1?
Hey there Taimoor,
If I understand correctly, Siri is not recognizing your name correctly. You can add a phonetic pronunciatin for it, with the following article, which should get it working correctly for you with this info:
If Siri is pronouncing a name incorrectly you can add phonetic first and last names to your contact entries:
- Open the Contacts application.
- Select the contact that Siri is mispronouncing.
- Tap "edit" in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap "add field".
- Add phonetic first and last names as needed.
- The new fields will appear at the top of the contact. You can then spell out your name phonetically to assist with pronunciation.
- When finished making changes to the contact, tap Done in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
I have tried to use both the phonetic and they pronunciation features by voice and typing, but neither one works.
