Siri mispronouncing app name

The name of our app is a portmanteau, and Siri is getting it slightly wrong. It’s putting the emphasis on the second and fourth syllables instead of the first and third. Kind of like if someone starting singing /tinˈeɪʒd muˌtent/. It’s just wrong enough to be funny. It still recognizes the correct name when someone says “hey Siri”.

We’ve already tried adding CFBundleSpokenName and INAlternativeAppNamePronunciationHint to info.plist, but neither is changing how Siri says it. We can’t put it in AppIntentVocabulary.plist because we don’t know the key path for the app name.

Your best option here is to open a bug report describing this. Since you have a CFBundleSpokenName, how does your app name sound when using VoiceOver on the Home screen? The answer to that question is also one you should include with your report. Once that's filed, please post the FB number here for reference.
