Siri in iOS 7 – Still Can’t Spell My Own Damn Name Properly

Posted August 19th, 2013 @ 10:46am by Erik J. Barzeski

Siri takes initiative to learn how to pronounce names in iOS 7.

Great. Big freakin' deal.

Siri still can't spell the word "Erik" any way other than "Eric," on my phone or the phones of my friends, and there's no way to teach it to do so.

If your name is Michele with one "l"? Tough beans. You're out of luck and perpetually doomed to have your phone, who knows you are the contact and who can pronounce your name just fine, constantly misspelling your name.
