Teach Siri names
As we already mentioned in the introduction, due to the lack of localization into Czech, Siri can sometimes also have problems with Czech names from your phone book. But that doesn't mean she can't learn to pronounce them at least approximately correctly - just on her iPhone you activate Siri and you say the command “Hey, Siri, learn how to pronounce [person's name]”. Wait for confirmation, whether this is really the contact you want to work with, and then you can teach Siri the correct pronunciation.
