Hi Jewel, I don't know all the spelling configurations you've tried, so please forgive me if what I'm suggesting has been tried & failed. Have you tried spelling chess by putting an, h, between the, e, & first, s, ? Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jewel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, February 05, 2018 7:59 PM Subject: Re: fixing the way siri says someones name
Voice-over, Karen in particular, is pretty good at pronouncing words, but I have told you that no matter what method I use, I cannot get her to say chess. It always comes out as Chiss. However, having said that, someone, Richard perhaps, said that Karen enhanced. when he challenged her did say chess. When I looked at settings/voice-over etc, I was told that it was Karen, but whether it was Karen enhanced or Karen un..., I was not told. Now, pressing forward, when I am playing the word game, "Seven Little Words" from time to time, she will spell a word rather than saying it. An example is arctic: a r c t i c. I went to settings/voice-over/pronunciation" and typed in a r c t i c, and then dictated arctic. When I tapped play, arctic was said, but when I checked it in the solutions column of SLW, it was still a r c t i c. Of course, the a r c t i c is not going to melt any faster than it is now if she continues to spell it, but it would be a feather in my cap, if I could persuade her that arctic is the way to go!
