    Siri Dictation

    Since the debut of Siri virtual assistance alongside the iPhone 4S, hackers have been trying hardly to port the feature to older iDevices. There are no hardware limitations but the only concern still that the service needs to connect to Apple servers to get it working.

    Siri’s dictation feature has now been made publicly available in Cydia for the iPhone 4, 3GS, Touch 4G and it actually works. Developer Eric Day has released a jailbreak tweak called Siri0us.

    “Siri dictation for your iOS 5 devices. No iPhone 4S keys/files required.”

    The tweak actually works but sadly with some Ads around.

    Add the source http://apt.if0rce.com on Cydia to get the tweak

  • Nuance Might Have Exposed The iPhone 5 Beans

    Interesting screenshots from Nuance’s new SpeechTrans Ultimate App. Nuance is widely believed to be working deeply with Apple on their speech recognition technology so maybe they know something.  Or maybe they just pasted screenshots that were too big on their App?!

  • Nuance Voice Technology Baked into iOS 5

    In the days leading up to WWDC 2011, Nuance integration got enough speculations for a possible presence in Apples iOS 5. Now Developer and Hacker Chronic seems to have got his hands on iOS 5 build with internal settings — hidden from public, as he tweeted a series of screenshots for what might be settings for testing and troubleshooting. Some of these screenshots show what looks like Nuance voice recognition baked into the iOS.

    The screenshots show some options like “mic on space key”, “auto-record input” and “Nuance dictation”, which seem to suggest Apple has been testing ways to integrate additional buttons in the default iPhone keyboard to let users speak and have text transcribed on screen.

    Although these settings look interesting, no Nuance announcement in WWDC and everything may be unveiled in fall with iPhone 5 keynote, though.
