Help Siri recognise the names you know. Phonetiq prepares name fields for contacts written in supported non-Latin scripts, while keeping their original names. Choose your languages, scan your contacts and let Phonetiq add the eligible fields automatically. Supports Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Belarusian and Georgian names. On iOS 27 and later, Phonetiq adds pronunciation fields for recognition and spoken names. On earlier supported versions, it uses phonetic fields for recognition, with optional pronunciation fields for speech. Phonetic fields can affect contact sorting on older systems. Prefer to check individual changes? Enable optional review in Settings before processing. Use exclusions to leave selected contacts untouched, and local backups to help restore saved fields. Your original contact names are preserved. Contact processing happens on your device. Phonetiq does not send your contacts to a server. Siri recognition depends on your device, language and its cached contact information. Preparing fields does not guarantee a match.
