Hi all, Joseph I want to thank you for the instructions for teaching Siri how to pronounce names. It worked very well for me but I did have to do the process to her three times to get it to work. I think sometimes it just takes timing and speed perhaps I don't know but it did work for me so thank you very much for a great set of instructions to teach Siri how to pronounce names got bless, Wren Langley
