But if your name isn’t Barbra Streisand, you’ll probably be less likely to be heard. When she noticed that Siri was pronouncing her last name incorrectly, with a z like “Streizand” instead of “Streissand” as it should, the American artist opened the Contacts app and called Apple. Finally, Tim Cook directly, why bother with intermediaries? The CEO clearly took the time to respond and even request a fix, which means that Siri now pronounces his name correctly… at least, in English. Don’t tell her once more, but in French, Siri still says “Barbara Streizand”.
Either way, it’s one of the benefits of fame, Barbra Streisand rightly notes in this interview with the BBC following the publication of his memoirs. She’s not wrong, because I checked, Siri doesn’t even seem to know I exist… ????
Who knows if Siri knows how my last name is pronounced? Apple’s voice assistant doesn’t even know I exist!
