IPhone :: Get Siri To Spell Names Correctly In Emails?
Mar 26, 2012
My name is Brian (with an i), and Siri knows this if I ask her what my name is. However if I am having her write an email or text message for me and I say something like "from Brian" she spells my name "Bryan." On rare occasion she will spell it correctly with an "i," which I can only surmise is due to some subtle difference in pronounciation.
Is there any way I can change her dictionary and only allow her to spell "Brian" and not "Bryan"? This isn't the only name she does this with; whenever I have her write "Colin" in a message she wants to put two L's in it instead of one.
My employer requires a pretty complicated password. There are times it takes me 3 times to get it keyed in right. Is there a way to use siri to verbally spell the password out?
I have two different contacts on my phone. These are Lesley and Lesley India. When I ask Siri to call Lesley I am asked which one I want to call being given the options of Lesley or Lesley India. If I state just Lesley then Siri asks me the same question i.e. Lesley or Lesley India. My old iPhone 3GS could work this out fine but Siri can't!
I have some friends with unusual names. When I tell Siri to call one of them siri consistently returns what it thinks the name is. So i took what Siri returns and added it as the phonetic name of the individual. Siri still returns the same name and still doesn't recognize the contact. Example: I say Damian, Siri thinks it's Damien so I add Damien as the phonetic name of Damian. After I did that I say Damian, Siri says it can't find Damien!!! ***!!!! What is the point of having phonetic spelling if that's the case.
So I have all my messages grouped together (sms and email accounts), and I am using BIS through ATT. I am on software version 5.0.0.405 (Platform 5.1.0.112). The blackberry doesnt seem to display message correctly. If I try and delete a message it deletes the one before it. SMS's dont always delete. Sometimes there is just a blank space but if i click on it, its actually a message.
I am receiving emails both in Italian and English and I was wondering whether I can have Siri switching from one to the other language when I ask her to read mails.
When someone sends an email with "stationary" or background graphics, the email chops off and just displays about 1/4 of the message. This is horizontally, not vertically. The emails display normally on the Mac.
I was messing around with the setting on my phone and now I can't figure out how to change one back. How do I change the sender's name back to first name first then last name ? EX: Style America not America, Style.
I can't find the option to turn on dictation so Siri can write my emails, my messages, and to respond in apps like whatsapp and other apps that require writing
How do I remove a 'wife' from iPhone. I told Siri that my partner was my wife then I married her and changed her contact details and now Siri thinks I have two wives and asks which one when I ask Siri to call or send a message.
Do you need to activate spell check to make it work? Whenever i try to spell a word wrong, it doesn't activate it. I've tried to spell the word in both English and Norwegian (as I'm from Norway), without any result.
whether Apple will ever give the spell checking programm in iOS any updates? I am using the German version of iOS and the spell checking of iOS is an offence any for of intelligent life. Even the T9 software in the 1990 was able to LEARN user spelled words and to save them for further use. The iOS spellchecking doesn't seem to have this feature. Words I use regularly in SMS or Mails.... the iPhone just won't save and every time again i have this autocorrection recommendation which is automatically accepted when pressing space or komma .....Wrinting was thus easier on a Nokia phone in the 90...
for some reason my blackberry bold touch 9900 doesnt spell check anymore (when a word is spelt wrong it has a dashed line underneath the misspelled word and gives you suggestions or correct spelling suggestions), how do i reactivate spell check for my sms and emails? its really starting to bug me, because my auto correct still works but spell check doesnt!
I have recently upgraded my Bold 9700 to OS 6. Everything is working well.But I'm having trouble activating the spell check feature. Where should I look?
I never use the spell check feature. It has been turned off since day one. Now all of a sudden it gives me the suggested letters/words as I'm typing. I have searched every setting and can't find anything other than the spell check feature and it is off. Am I missing something? It also now does the short vibrate when I press a key. I have that feature off as well.
I bought the Galaxy SII a few weeks ago, and immediately upgraded it to Android 4.0.3 via Kies. I have read, and seen screenshots about the new spell check with ice cream sandwich, where it underlines the incorrectly spelled word, and then you can tap on it, and it will give you a list of suggestions. How to enable this. All I see is XT9. I have tried the XT9 spell checker, but am not impressed with it at all, as it is constantly guessing the wrong words! What settings I change in order to have the ICS spell checker.
I have just purchased Lumia 800 and enjoy it very much.I have just one question... how to disable spell checks while composing SMS? I sometimes send SMS with language other than English and every now and then the spell checks just changes the wording. Therefore I really need to disable the spell-check.

After updating to the new software my Bold 9930 does not have spell check on it anymore... I looked in the options menu under Typing and Language and Spell Check is not there. Word substitution is still there however.
I'm an Italian living in UK and I need to text and write emails both in Italian and English.Is there a way to completely disable the spell checker? I don't want to keep switching languages and it's quite annoying to be corrected everytime I type in a different language than the one which is set in the phone.
So i'll be texting a friend and usually my spell check usually works, but reciently i have noticed its not underlining at all. i purposly spell things wrong and it still doesn't do anything!
I have a Blackberry Torch and I've only had it a few weeks and all of a sudden when I write a text, bbm or email, instead of underlinging the misspelt words it's just randomly underlinging any words, ones that I know are spelt correct like you, but, and etc. and it's stopped automatically adding apostrophes or captalising words. I know it's not a huge issue but it's really annyoing.
is there a setting in the N900 email that would speck check every message before it is sent. I have been looking for hours and cant seem to find one, but cant believe this command would be missing.
How is it that when I use predictive text, to spell (you) it spells yot first. I wanna fix it to spell you automatically without having to fix it but I dont know how.
My daughter has sent me a couple texts about there being no spell check on her new Lumia 1020. As I am still on WP7 and my Daughter lives a little ways away from me, I decided to throw it out there if there is something in the settings in WP8 or on the L1020 I do not know about which kills the spell check. She has not red line under mispelled words and no suggestions as she types.
The spell-checker on my Torch checks words against a Spanish dictionary even though I've instructed it to use English. This seems to happen sporadically and I can't figure out how to get it to stick with English
