Hello list,

 

I have an iPhone 7 running iOS 10.2 and I'm having a very strange issue
adding a word to my customized pronunciations. I believe this is the first
time I've added a word since installing iOS 10.2 so I'm curious if others
can duplicate it before reporting it.

 

I typed a text message tonight containing the word adamant and noticed that
Voiceover pronounced it with emphasis on the last syllable and with a
pronounced mant sound as opposed to a mint sound which I prefer. I went into
Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Speech, and Pronunciations and
added adamant using the add button in the upper right corner. I typed in the
word using the on-screen keyboard just as it's spelled above and then I
dictated the replacement pronunciation substitution. I had a very difficult
time getting it to place my dictated substitution in the right field which I
don't recall being an issue before. If I didn't double tap the substitution
field before double tapping the dictate button, I would end up with extra
characters in the field for the entered word and adamant would be listed
more than once including the pronunciation symbols. I don't ever recall this
being an issue with past versions of iOS 10 but I finally figured out to
double tap in the substitution field before double tapping the dictate
button. I finally was able to get adamant entered in my customized
pronunciations and played it back successfully but when I went to my text
message where I had used it, the message spoke as if adamant wasn't in it.
The word was totally ignored. When I deleted adamant from my customized
pronunciations, the text message spoke it again but with the incorrect
pronunciation I started with.

 

This feels like a bug to me and I'm wondering if anyone else can duplicate
it. I know it's more than a little tedious to try this but I'm very curious
if others can duplicate it because I depend on being able to customized
pronunciations and want this to work correctly.

 

Thanks for trying to duplicate this issue and reporting back.
