Is there any way to get iside the Siri dictionary to edit and correct it?

Hello,

I have a bone of contention to pick with Siri. For some dumb reason when I say the word woman it usually miss spells it when I reference it for the title wonder woman and of course it's not doing it right now it does it when I mostly am dictating A text to send. Siri usually miss spells the word with a Y instead of a letter a as in womyn. Being A former administrative assistant I take great pride in making sure I don't miss spell things. I would like to know if there is a way to access the Siri dictionary on the most recent iOS so that I can fix that miss spelled word and maybe even add a few custom names that I use. Is there anyway to get inside the Siri dictionary and edit it?

SIncerely,

Wonder Woman

For names, you can add Phonetic and Pronunciation fields in your Contacts app.

Select a contact, tap on Edit, then on Add Field and select the fields you want to add.

Hiya,

It wasn't so much the names that was bothering me - it is misspelling routine words such as "woman" it is spelling incorrectly "womyn" - I thought it might be related to the fact I was using an Australian voice but that isn't it - I switched to USA voice and it still spells "woman" as "Womyn" and that is just one word that I can think of being spelled incorrectly most frequently. (with my user name on here being "Wonder Woman" I think you can appreciate my frustration.

Sincerely,

Wonder Woman
