RUSH: Barbra Streisand\u2019s ticked off, but only at Siri. Have you heard about this? Barbra Streisand\u2019s mad, not at Obama not going down to Louisiana, no, she\u2019s mad that Siri mispronounces her name. <\/p>\n

This is incredible.  Barbra Streisand was on NPR. I don\u2019t know how it even came up, but she started complaining that Siri isn\u2019t any good because it mispronounces her name. It calls her “Streizand” instead of “Streisand.”  The soft “S” is pronounced as a “Z” by Siri. <\/p>\n

So she said she called the head of Apple, that would be Tim Cook, and Tim Cook said (paraphrasing), “Okay, I personally will fix it.  We\u2019re gonna put out an update to iOS 10 on September 30th and we will fix the way Siri pronounces your name.” <\/p>\n

Now, a couple things.  Barbra Streisand can fix the way Siri pronounces her name on her iPhone or iPad right now, and so can you.  You can go to your phone, you can call up Siri and tell it how to pronounce your name.  Just say, “My name is pronounced X.”  You can tell Siri, “Please call me superstar. Please call me whatever.”  And Siri will refer to you as that from now on.  It\u2019s a server side update.  Tim Cook doesn\u2019t have to go in and issue a software update to change the way Siri pronounces words.  They can do that on the Siri server site. <\/line><\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s talking about. So the iOS 10 update on September 30th, if there is one, would be a patch, \u2019cause iOS 10\u2019s gonna come out around I\u2019m guessing 15th or 16th, something in there, and if they come out with a thing on September 30th it would be 10.0.1 or some little patch, but there\u2019s no reason to think Streisand knows what she\u2019s talking about. <\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s what she\u2019s upset about is the way Siri — (interruption) You didn\u2019t know you could change the way Siri pronounces your name?  All you gotta do is call Siri up, my name, any name, like let\u2019s say that you have a friend with a name that you want to tell Siri to pronounce.  How many people know you can do this?  You call up Siri, say, “Hey, Siri, send a message to my wife.”  If on your wife\u2019s contact card on your contacts app, you list her as your spouse, then Siri will know. <\/p>\n

If you have a friend with a weirdly pronounced name.  (laughing)  That\u2019s cause it\u2019s your phone.  It\u2019s asking you what your wife\u2019s name is. You don\u2019t have a wife, but you can say whatever you want to say there.  But if it\u2019s a card, if it\u2019s a contact card in your contacts app, then Siri will forever know that whoever that contact is is your wife.  All you have to do is, if you\u2019ve got a friend with a weird sounding name or it\u2019s hard to pronounce it, or doesn\u2019t pronounce the way it\u2019s spelled, you can simply tell Siri how the name is pronounced, and she will know from then on out.  Streisand doesn\u2019t need an update for this.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
