Siri pronunciation settings

I hate that it’s now 10x harder to get Siri to pronounce my name right. Now instead of being able to simply correct her, I have to go into each individual contact and play trial and error with everyone’s names that she can’t pronounce.


I figured this could be solved by the pronunciation settings under accessibility>spoken content>pronunciations but even the dictation feature there isn’t working….
