Notice something interesting about Siri last night...

[Oppressed]

That is why I made mine call me Jedi Master.

Fixed.

My son-in-law's name is Cary. When I make notes including his name I get Carrie and Kerry.

Can I customize the spelling?

Put the correct spelling in the Nickname field.

My spouse and I share my MobileMe to iCloud account for contacts and calendars. Siri will call both me and my spouse by my name. My spouse tried to say, "call me ______", and it does but it still pulls up my contact card. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks!

You have to use separate iCloud accounts.

I assume you have two separate phones. In that case despite what email you use iCloud or not go to Settings->Siri->MyInfo-> and it will bring up your contacts after you make a contact entry for yourself or wife (on each phone) then either of you click on your own Contact name and it tells Siri that is who you are

We each have our own iCloud account. My spouse just uses my account for contacts and calendars.

I guess that might work too.

Also since that is now how she knows you when you say to her who is my wife, mother etc she will ask you who they are and from contacts you select the right contact for that relationship then it updates their contact card with that relationship as well

Ok, I spoke too soon. If I change the contact under settings, it then thinks I am my spouse. Any other suggestions? We each have an iCloud account. My spouse's is linked to my calendar and contacts only.

 

[Shrink]

Is anyone beside me having a small problem with folks referring to SIRI as "she"?

It's an inanimate object, not a real person.

I guess I'm probably taking it a little too siriosly.

(OK, I should be thrashed for that. )

why did you change the contact after you entered yours?

Yep, it's a male voice in the UK

 

[ct2k7]

The reason it said Eh-than, is because the way it is syllabically pronounced. E.g Ethanol is: Eh-than-ol, not ee-than-ol.

You can change it to the US or Australian female voice.

Cute

Oh, that wry British sense of humor!

 

[Smug Boy]

The current user experience anomalies can be boiled down to the fact that Siri is still Beta software.

just found out all you ned to do on each device is tell Siri to call you___ and she will call you whatever you say.
