Geek Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/siri0us-iphone-4.jpg" alt="Siri0us on iPhone 4" title="siri0us-iphone-4" width="620" height="363" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24293" /></p> <p>A new third party tool called Siri0us has appeared that brings Siri Dictation (speech-to-text) to the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 4G. The add-on, which requires a jailbroken device, uses Nuance technology to work almost exactly like the dictation feature of Siri does to convert your speech to text. It’s accurate and initiated via the onscreen keyboard, but it does require an internet connection in order to work.</p> <p>Here’s how to install Siri0us, or you can follow the video below:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/11/use-redsn0w-to-jailbreak-ios-5-0-1/">Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 with redsn0w</a> or another tool</li> <li>Launch Cydia and add the following new source:</li> <p><code>http://apt.if0rce.com</code></p> <li>Search for and install “Siri0us” (with a zero)</li> </ul> <p>The developer of Siri0us noted to <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/11/27/siri0us/">iDownloadBlog</a> that a bug exists that may effect some users during installation. The fix is simple:</p> <blockquote><p>If your iDevice keeps respringing, do not restore! Use a SSH tool to remove the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssistantServices.framework file.</p></blockquote> <p>Check out the video below of Siri0us in action from iDB:</p> <p><iframe width="610" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y3Azblo1taY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>UI elements of Siri0us are obviously different from the real Siri, and you won’t get any of the other Siri features, but if you want a similar implementation to just get your words into text, Siri0us should get the job done. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KMRqc8c842m9Osc9NTjqGMcKyQw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KMRqc8c842m9Osc9NTjqGMcKyQw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KMRqc8c842m9Osc9NTjqGMcKyQw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KMRqc8c842m9Osc9NTjqGMcKyQw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=V-ZdWWml9vY:0LF8B83S_Ic:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/V-ZdWWml9vY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
