Barbra Streisand calls Tim Cook to fix Siri's mispronunciation of her name

The American singer and actor reveals personal plea to Apple head to fix Siri's butchery of her name which will be fixed on 30 September

How do you ensure that Siri pronounces your name correctly? If you're Barbra Streisand you go straight to the source and call the chief executive, Tim Cook.

In an interview with NPR, the singer, actor and instigator of the Streisand effect, admitted that after five years of Apple's voice assistant pronouncing her name incorrectly - the second "s" is soft not pronounced as a "z" as Siri does - she couldn't take it any longer.
