Siri Settings, Shortcuts & Hacks Every iPhone User Should Know Make Siri Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 (You may need to unlock your iPhone first.) Tap "Other" then choose Caoimhe from your contact list.Enunciate "Keeva." Siri will respond in the same way, only this time there will be an "Other" button on the screen.Ask Siri to "text Keeva." Siri will respond with "I couldn't find 'Kiva' in your contacts.I haven't been able to get this to work when calling or emailing anyone, only texting, so keep that in mind. To sum it up quickly, you just have to ask Siri to text the questionable contact, then after a few failed tries, she'll ask you choose the contact manually, then will ask how to pronounce the name. Telling Siri How to Understand PronunciationsĮver since iOS 7, Siri has had a nice little feature baked in that helps you teach her how to understand and pronounce difficult names. I'll be using the first name Caoimhe (pronounced "Keeva") as an example, so just swap it out with the name you want to fix. The Siri method can be slightly tricky, so I'll show you how to do both below. One way is through Siri itself, and the other way is done manually through the Contacts app. There are actually a couple different ways to get Siri to understand problematic names correctly. it just takes a little grunt work on your part. Luckily, there's a way to get Siri to understand pronunciations for the tricky names in your contact list. I say almost because counterintuitive name pronunciations such as Caoimhe, which is actually pronounced "Keeva," will confuse the hell out of Siri. Siri makes it easy to call almost any contact on your iPhone with just a quick verbal command.
