Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad. If you see a toggle switch for Use with Siri , then the app is supported. Toggle it on and you can, for example, ask Siri to get you an Uber or a Lyft without touching either app.
Siri makes her best guess at pronouncing names but, like teachers on the first day of school and John Travolta at awards shows, doesn't always get it right. You can, however, teach Siri how to correctly pronounce names in your Contacts. Siri, for example, goes 0 for 2 with Charlize Theron's name, butchering both the Oscar winner's first and last names. Tell Siri to "learn how to pronounce Charlize Theron" or if she has mispronounced it already, you can say, "That's not how you say that.
Siri will quickly get over any embarrassment and ask, "OK, how do you pronounce the name Charlize? One trick that may help to optimize this is to place your iPhone on a table a little way away from you, but still within eyesight so that you can read the screen.
Chances are even greater that Siri butchers the pronunciation of the name every time and has a hard time understanding the name when you say it. Luckily, you can train her to hear it correctly.
Siri then brings up a selection of different pronunciations. If you use Siri to control smarthome devices around your house, consider giving these devices simple names to make voice commands a bit easier.
From there, tap on the name of the device, and then type any name you want. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?

This, in a field where a 5 percent improvement is game-changing.
Now, nearly five years later, neural network algorithms are hitting the mainstream, making computers smarter in new and exciting ways. IBM uses them. And, most remarkably, Microsoft uses neural networks as part of the Star-Trek-like Skype Translate, which translates what you say into another language almost instantly. Though Apple is famously secretive about its internal operations—and did not provide comment for this article—it seems that the company previously licensed voice recognition technology from Nuance—perhaps the best known speech recognition vendor.
But those in the tight-knit community of artificial intelligence researchers believe this is about to change. Lee would know. Apple hired one of his top managers, Alex Acero, last year. Another speech research hire: Arnab Ghoshal, a researcher from the University of Edinburgh. With iOS 13 coming, the smart assistant will be able to personalize your experience on the HomePod. Siri, Apple smart assistant, is familiar to all who have iPhones and Apple devices, including the smart speaker HomePod.
You can even change how it sounds when speaking to you. Setting up Siri to know your voice is simple — and retraining it is a good idea as well. Most iPhone users launched Siri when they got their smartphone, speaking to the smart assistant while holding their device close in their hands.
People will likely be standing further away from the HomePod when talking to Siri — so teaching the A. Then turn it on again. Consider answering some of these questions with your device several feet away from you — the distance where a HomePod may be in a room. This will help Siri recognize your voice from far away as well. During a recent test, we found that Siri was able to identify someone from across a room — even if set up had happened just inches from a device.
HomePod will be able to recognize six different people through their voice when iOS 13 launches this fall Apple. Right now, HomePod can bring up personal details, but only for one user — the person who links the smart speaker to their own Apple ID.
