Voice spelling

I’m having a tough time with the voice spelling on the new IP18 Pro—it’s not very accurate and sometimes doesn’t work at all.

For example:

If your iPhone dictation consistently types "Kruse" instead of "cruise," here's how you can correct it:

Train the Dictation System
1. Use dictation in a text field (like Messages or Notes) and say "cruise."
2. When it types "Kruse," manually edit it to "cruise."
3. Repeat this a few times. Over time, the dictation system may learn your preference.
Retrain Siri with your voice. Go to Settings > Siri (or Apple Intelligence & Siri). Tap Talk to Siri, then tap Off. Turn on “Siri” or “Hey Siri” again, then ...Change Siri settings on iPhone
Add a Text Replacement
1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
2. Tap the + button to add a new replacement.
3. In the Phrase field, type "cruise."
4. In the Shortcut field, type "Kruse."
5. Now, whenever "Kruse" is mistakenly typed, it will autocorrect to "cruise."
Check Contact Names
1. If "Kruse" is a contact in your address book, the system might prioritize it.
2. Go to Contacts and check for any entries named "Kruse." If it's not needed, consider editing or removing it.
Reset Keyboard Dictionary
1. If the problem persists, resetting the keyboard dictionary can help:
2. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
3. Confirm the reset. Note that this will erase all custom words learned by the keyboard.
Enable Siri Pronunciation Feedback
If "Kruse" is related to Siri misunderstanding you, you can provide feedback:
1. 1. Ask Siri, "Who is Kruse?"
  2. If Siri shows the incorrect suggestion, say, "That's not how you pronounce 'cruise.'"
Follow the prompts to correct the pronunciation.
