Siri Different on iPad

[HelveticaNeue]

Has anyone noticed a difference in Siri on the iPad 3? She misprounces my name "Liam" as Lie-am. Siri on my iPhone has never had a problem saying my name correctly.

Also, sounds a little more robotic, but perhaps that is my imagination. Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same issue.

My phone couldn't say "Tottenham" properly at first but now it can. I wonder if it learns.

It has to do something with when a "package" of sort isn't installed (or recognized) on your phone. You'll also notice that when Siri pronounces things differently, it's the "robotic" voice that's so widely talked about. It's almost like a different version of Siri.

Sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes a network reset + reboot fixes it.

Network reset and reboot didn't help. Guess I'll play the waiting game. Thanks.

On my 4S is would pronounce my girlfriends name wrong (Jenny) as Genie. Eventually it corrected.

I can change the language on the iPad to mainland mandarin. I tried on my phone and it says it's not available yet. So weird.

There are definitely some small weird differences between iphone siri and ipad siri

If anyone wants some closure. This morning Siri suddenly stopped sounding robotic and now pronounces my name correctly. 36 hours after updating to iOS 6 and 20 hours after resetting all settings.

That's because when you first start Siri it downloads extra voice files, thats what it seems like because every iPhone i have used it starts off with a robotic voice and seems to go away with time.

It made me nervous, because as soon as I turned on my 4S last October Siri said my name (Liam) perfectly, which I tested immediately because the old Voice Control on the iPhone always mispronounced it.

So when I updated my iPad and Siri mispronounced my name, it made me nervous.

Siri learns over time, it may just take some time
