Streisand: Siri Mispronounces My Name, but Tim Cook Is On It

If you own an iPhone, the next iOS update on Sept. 30 will include a strange fix for Siri. It seems the Apple virtual assistant does not currently pronounce Barbra Streisand's name correctly, the singer recently told NPR. "[It's] Streisand with a soft S, like sand on the beach. I've been saying this for my whole career," she said. Obviously, there was only one thing to do: "I called the head of Apple, Tim Cook, and he delightfully agreed to have Siri change the pronunciation of my name, finally," she says, per Mashable.
