Another secret from the vault of Steve Jobs has been revealed to public today. The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs was not in favor of the name “SIRI” which the company had acquired for its personal assistant software.
With the release of Siri, Apple’s iPhone 4S has gained a lot of user attention. According to a report issued by TechCrunch, Google will soon release a version of its own virtual assistant to go head to head in competition against iPhone 4S.
I have seen Siri users popping up comments on various forums where they complained about Siri’s interface taking too much space. A new jailbreak tweak is now available that shrinks Siri’s interface window size.
In this week’s Cydia store, developers are focusing more on Siri. Recently we updated the Siri jailbreak app which allows Siri to respond with a “Yes”. Now there is another jailbreak app which tweaks the Siri to allow it to translate languages for its users. iPhone 4S can now be a translation device with the help of this new Siri tweak.
Tired of the lame “What can I help you with?” dialog from Siri? Looking a simple “Yes”? There have been several questions asked on many different forums and blogs where users are asking how they can make Siri respond with a yes. The answer is a new app which tweaks Siri to respond with a “yes?”.
True Knowledge has launched its own version of virtual assistant in Canada which is not only limited to iPhone 4S only. Evi is a speech to text conversion app which works in a similar way to Siri by retrieving answers from its database. Evi is reported by Canadian users to be working well.
