Hey Siri (other assistants are available)

iPhone using siri

Who knew your phone’s personal assistant does not just know how to order you pizza, but can also spell words out for you! Just trigger your phone’s particular assistant and ask it to “spell [word]” and it will spell the word you want, spoken letter by letter, out loud.
“Hey Siri, how do you spell haberdashery?”
Siri’s reply: “haberdashery h-a-b-e-r-d-a-s-h-e-r-y”
Also, you can use the phones voice recognition when texting to add the word in you just cannot spell.
