Couple of days back, developer and hacker Eric Day released a jailbreak tweak called Siri0us which brought Siri's Dictation feature that is available exclusively on Apple's iPhone 4S, to the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and 4th gen iPod touch.
Not surprisingly the free jailbreak tweak quickly became extremely popular with non-iPhone 4S users.
As we had explained earlier, Day had got the hack to work by relying on Nuance speech recognition system on the device rather than communicating with Apple's servers and the result is just like using Siri on iPhone 4S.
It looks like Day was making unauthorised use of Nuance's speech regonition technology and hence has removed Siri0us from Cydia to avoid getting into trouble. Meanwhile his request to Nuance to use the service has gone unanswered. He has tweeted that he will release it again if he finds a another voice recognition service.
In case, you missed it, you can checkout the video of Siri's dictation feature working on iPhone 4:

FIRST…..wow can’t believe I missed it guess I gotta go look for the cracked version
try xsellize
…buy cracked I mean from a unauthorized repo…
He should fix it aswell, there was so many claiming it didn’t work on their 3gs.
Works great on my iPhone 4
Repo sources anyone?
It’s still on cydia. I think Insanelyi has it up still
Yes it’s still on Cydia
Still listed, but you can’t get it. Even listing says it’s removed
Just installed it on my iphone4 but I only get the microphone near the Keyboard. When pressing the home button the old voice control starts. How do I activate siri with siriOus ?
Siri0us is just the dictation part of siri
Its only the microphone on the keyboard this is NOT the full Siri.
Its good but not that good, will only function quickly on a 3G network or wifi.
I dont see what all the fuss is about NOT releasing the full SIRI.
I mean there is alsorts of cracke programs and hack/tweaks out there, just because you need x2 files from a iphone 4S which are obviously out there.
Cant someone just release it, i would if i knew how to get the x2 files.
Siri0us does not require wifi or data. Not sure what you’re talking about.
its very buggy as well, works once every 3 tries and takes a while to write the sentences, also it seems my battery is draining after i installed this tweak. My opinion is not worth trying
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a pretty good tweak. I’m using it right now. What the f*ck is wrong with you guys. See? It even censors my f*ck words ha ha ha ha.
yeah. i loaugh with you. ha ha ha
))
I don’t see it on Cydia.
Well I installed it but it does not work on 3GS
I wonder why there are so many mixed reviews. Works perfect for me on 3GS.
Well … I don’t know about other people but it’s for perfectly wellOn iPhone 4. As been said I am actually using right now…
So now you have to be first to download before the apps are pulled?
Yeah idk this isn’t that great… I asked it if it was going to rain soon about 3 different times and each time it played random music, then I told it I’m hungry and it called my boss…
Wow, I guess you just skipped reading any of the articles about Siri0us?
And it seems like you even skipped all the comments, just to inform us that its not working like siri.
Well guess what, this IS NOT full siri, this is just the dictation function, where you can tell your phone what to write for you.
GJ Saying it wont work, when it does excatly what its supposed to..
Failed retard! How you ask question using dictation? -.-
just look for the .deb file and install with ifile for all who missed it! unfortunately i either speak to fast for it or the voice recognition system is flawed…..maybe another service would be a better choice. until then i will speak slower…lmao
