How Do You Reset Siri to Recognize Your Voice?
Siri is the iPhone and iPad’s voice assistant you can use to perform some tasks completely hands-free. But if Siri isn’t responding when you say “Hey Siri,” or if it seems to misunderstand you more often than not, you can reset the Siri feature and teach it to relearn your voice. It should then improve your interactions with Siri.
How Do I Reset Voice Recognition on My iPhone?
As you’re using the instructions above to reset and retrain your Siri voice assistant, there are a few ideas to keep in mind to make the voice recognition on your iPhone work better.
Speak naturally. Use your natural diction. Don’t try to say your words more clearly or otherwise different from how you usually would because you won’t change your voice like that when you’re using the voice assistant—speaking as naturally as possible will likely improve voice recognition.Speak in a normal tone of voice. You don’t need to yell at Siri to make it work, nor do you need to whisper. Speak as if you were having a conversation with someone sitting right beside you. Changing the volume or modulation of your voice will only ensure you have a more challenging time activating it during everyday use.Speak at the same speed you usually would. Don’t slow your speech down or speed it up when you’re using your voice assistant. Instead, speak as you would if you asked your phone to complete a task during your everyday activities.
Getting the most accurate recognition from your voice assistant is about training it to recognize how you usually speak. Anything you change from that will make it harder for the voice assistant to recognize your voice when you call upon it.
How Do I Fix Siri on My iPhone?
If, after you’ve reset and retrained your Siri voice assistant, it still isn’t working correctly, then you may need to troubleshoot how to fix it when Siri isn’t working. A few troubleshooting steps could have you back in working order and speaking to Siri again.
