speach to text misspelling names

My friend is nearly blind and I am teaching her to use the speech to text function on her iPhone. Her name has an unusual spelling and the text spelling is always incorrect. Is there a way to reach the phone’s ai to spell her name correctly? She can’t see the screen well enough to correct it herself.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18
