I wish there were a way to correct pronunciation in other areas where Siri is used, for instance in Maps. Not really a big deal but if I could I’d let Siri know that Houston is prounced H-yous-ton instead of House-ton :-)
Now we just need to teach the presenter of the video how to pronounce "pronunciation".
Wow, I had a vague idea that Siri could do this but after watching the video I came away very impressed. Now where are the Alexa and Google Assistant people who always dog Siri.
I set the pronunciation of my name to, "Sexy". Stole the idea from Big Bang Theory, but makes me giggle every time since I always forget I did it.
