I have an iphone 4s, am new to this forum. I am good with computers and electronics yet can't get Siri to learn my name.
I also noticed (and reported) a bug in the re-alphabetizing of the contact list that others mentioned.
I tried to teach Siri how to pronounce my name with not much success. My name is Hloben and has a silent H. Pretty simple, it's pronounced LOW bin!
In the contact list, I found the field to change the phonetic spelling and I thought it would be a snap!
In phonetic spelling I tried over a dozen changes to the first syllable (trying a LOW bin, using a Long O symbol, LOH, Low, Lobe, etc to get 'her' to say "Loben". I have 5 contacts with same last name.
Originally she was saying Hlobbin, with the h sound, but now she says Lobbin. It is wrong and I am still annoyed but I understand this is beta and may improve.
But still, I'd like it announce my son or my own name correctly. Using LOW bin gets her to say Lobbin if I say call home. Yet if I say "find Hloben" She'll ask which Lobbin but then read all our names like I want them.
As annoying as not being able to train Siri, here is the real BUG and this may affect a lot of people!
In the contact list, when I go Last,First the contacts (all the hlobens) are under the letter L!!!!
When I go First,Last (which I prefer) they are NOT in alphabetical order. I have synced, backed up and rebooted.
When I take OUT the phonetic spelling all goes back to perfect. I want Siri to pronounce my name right and I want my contact list to be alphabetical without the Phonics altering the alphabet.
Anyone have any insight?
