Siri is not good at spelling on iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 18.6.2

Siri can struggle with spelling because it relies on voice recognition, which can misinterpret words based on pronunciation, background noise or accents.

It doesn’t always confirm context before responding, which can lead to mistakes.

If that happens, you can correct Siri’s transcription mistakes by saying something like “No, I said…” followed by the correct word or you can tap the text Siri showed on screen and edit it manually before sending.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

What is your localization? Siri seems to spell fine in the US English version.

Otherwise, that sounds like a question for Apple, not this gathering of your fellow end users. Apple is rather secretive about why they do nor do not do things.
