Why won't Siri say my name? She just writes it.

When I tell Siri what to call me, it appears in text form in her answer, but she does not say it all the time. She speaks everything except the name I told her to call me, eventhough it's showing up on her written answer. She says it from time to time, but I want to get her to say it everytime she speaks to me or anwers a question. Ideas?

Siri is a BETA.
Not sure if anyone has any answers for this - not yet anyway.

  • Why won't Siri say my name correctly?

    I've tried it all, yet Siri WON'T say my name right!  My last name is "Eliasen," pronounced Eh-LEE-uh-sen.  She keeps saying, "Eh-LIE-uh-sen."  Why can't she figure out this simple phonetic spelling???  I've even tried putting the phonetic spelling "Elíasen," which would also work. 
    She DID, however, take the correct phonetic spelling for my first name.  It's Jalyssa, pronounced "Juh-Lisa."  Yet when I tell her, "I want to go home," and she replies, "here are directions to Jalyssa Eliasen home address," she says my first name incorrectly again.  What the heck?
    Anyone got magic answers?

  • Why won't Siri say my name?

    My name is actually "Dave".  Not "David", but "Dave".  For some reason (although I think I may know why), Siri refuses to call me "Dave".  It will call me "Master".  It will call me "David".  But it will not call me "Dave".  Seriously?

    Do what a friend did. Change your info to "MASTER"

  • Why won't Siri learn my new girls name? She always asks if its "sara" and I have to hit yes

    Why won't Siri learn my new girls name? She always asks if its "sara" and I have to hit yes

    I use exchange and no settings have been changed. Also siri forgets who I am once every two weeks or so and she will only remember my wife's association. Further, in the last two weeks if I asked her to email someone. She will initiate a telephone call. If is say "NO" she initiates a sms and a multitude of other intermittent problems.
    I have performed a master reset and reloaded from a back up before the trouple started and the problem still exists.  The problem is on the Siri side and not in my phone as they also show there ugly face on my I pad 4 synced with the cloud for contact info.
    Perhaps Siri is aware that I got an Samsung Note 10.1 for Christmas.  It is about the right timing.
    P's. Have you tried location reminders?  That fix does not work either.

  • Can you make Siri say your name each time she says "What can I help you with?"

    Can you make Siri say your name each time she says "What can I help you with?" I have done the "call me (my name) and linked her to my contacts but she rarely uses my name unless I ask "who am I?"  Can she say "What can I help you with (my name)"

    So is the only reason for her to know your name to have her know you contacts info?
    Does she ever greet you with your name?

  • Why won't siri on my iphone connect phone calls using ios7?

    Why won't siri connect phone calls using ios7?

    I have the same issue.  So frustrating!  I think I found a fix. It's not perfect but it works to get Siri, google maps and phone calls working all at the same time which are the most important things to me. After you start the car, go to settings on uconnect. Scroll down to the bluetooth settings. There are 2 tabs here. 1 for voice and 1 for audio. I'm doing this from memory so someone call it out if I have that wrong. Each will say "connected" in red once your iphone automatically pairs to uconnect. In the audio tab, press on the name of your phone. This will disconnect only the audio portion and leave the voice portion connected. You can now use Siri through your car speakers! Calls will still work too. Google maps will also give directions.
    This all works great until you turn off the car at which point the setting will be forgotten and will have to be repeated. It's important to keep in mind that if you now play music or a podcast off your iphone it will emanate from the phone's speaker, not your car speakers. This doesn't impact me as I'll usually be listening to sirius or fm radio when I'm driving anyway. Just like when you receive a call, siri will silence sirius until you're done with siri. Same with google maps.
    What this tells me is if Apple or (less likely) Chrysler ever add an option to save your bluetooth device as a voice only and not a voice&audio bluetooth device that uconnect would finally be usable with siri. I guess this means we can be more specific in our requests to apple and chrysler to resolve this issue. Hope this helps!

  • Why won't siri read back my messages before asking me to send?

    Why won't siri read back my messages before asking me to send?

    go to settings>general>siri >toggle it off and then on
    then try
    if problem continues
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. DONT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO A COMPUTER.

  • HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

    why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

    At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
    For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
    Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
    Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

  • Why won't siri remind me when i get to my location. i have home/work address listed

    why won't siri give me my reminders when i get to my location. i have home/work address listed.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • Why doesn't siri include my name in answers

    if I ask siri what my name is,,,,,it repeats my name correctly.  However siri never includes my name in replies.

    LouG wrote:
    If I say, "good morning Siri"....the response on the phone screen is "good morning to you too Lou".  But the response she gives in audio is "good morning to you too".  (Lou is my name).
    And it would likely say the same thing if anyone else talked to Siri on your device.

  • Basic feature.. Why won't it say?

    Ok... Seems like it should  be something that it should be able to do..
    I'm trying to download (purchase a season pass) a tv show and it's telling "cannot download not enough space" no biggie but why can't you tell me how space you require and how much I'm off so I don't delete more than I need to.
    And why won't it still let me purchase the season pass and only download what it can until I free up space. For instance the season of the show has 10 episodes and iTunes only can download 5 well when I'm done watching those 5 I delete them and the remaining 5 download?
    Seems like such a basic feature....
    /frustrated

    yes ZEO5520 it would have helped in the situation but when traveling (especially international) it's not always condusive to pack all electronics and haul them around. this is not about syncing to a pc. good suggestion but not always the case.
    my point is, in this day in age with technology, we should get more of a detailed message other than "there's not enough space"
    I was more or less complaining because I had 12 gigs free on my ipad yet the TV series I wanted to download was 13.7gigs had I know that I could have freed up a couple more gigs (ie delete things I don't really use anymore and extra apps) to accomedate the video or have itunes download what it can until more space becomes available. I ended up doing a large house cleaning and freed up almost 19gigs of space on my ipad after the show downloaded I still have 5+ gigs free. had I known how much space was required I could have planned better
    if itunes can auto sync new shows in a current season it should be smart enough to say "I can only download 2 shows until more space is available"

  • Why does my comment say my name is SCOTT BENSON?

    I left a comment here:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/asdoc_9.html#142061
    And it says my name is SCOTT BENSON (which it is definitely
    not). How do I change this? I've been on the phone with customer
    support and they have no idea what I'm talking about.

    Strange. sign in again and see if you are still him. I'd
    leave a note in livedocs itself about it. The Adobe doc people do
    watch that.

  • Why won't iMac open the cd it just created?

    My intel iMac (07 build) won't play/ open the cd I just burned on it. !
    Older cds I created DO open, just fine.  Why won't this new one open? It is a cd-r.
    Does this mean that the burn did not happen? I have burned a cd-r, cd rw, and dvd - none of them will open.
    iI need to send a cd of my artwork to a gallery to be juried. If I can't open the cd on my iMac, will the galley be able to open it?   In other words - did I burn a cd and my iMac is just acting up?  Or did I NOT burn a cd, and my iMac is acting up?
    The message I get when I try to open the new cd is...." there is a problem. The Media is not supported" 
    and the iDVD icon shows up on the desktop.
    This is day two of my trying to figure this problem out  - can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    artdough

    Use a drive cleaner to clean your superdrive.  See if that works.  If it does, use it every 3 months or so if you do a lot of burning. 

  • Why won't Siri learn relationships?

    Every time I say "(my son's name) is my son", Siri asks me if i want her to remember he is my child. When i say yes, I get the following error:
    The address book service that stores your contact information doesn't allow me to change that.
    The address book is the iPhone 5 address book. Why am I getting this error and what can i do to get siri to start learning relationships?
    Thank you
