Siri0us Jailbreak Tweak Removed From Cydia Store

14 years ago

Couple of days back, a tweak named Siri0us was released on Cydia which allowed owners of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch to use Siri dictation feature on their jailbroken handsets. Today, Siri0us developer Eric Day announced on Twitter that the tweak has been pulled from the Cydia since Nuance has denied him the rights to use their technology in his tweak. He is now apparently looking for other free alternatives to Nuance’s voice recognition technology.

Luckily, reports so far suggest that Siri0us is working for those who have already installed the tweak. However, this will only last until the developer decides to pull the plug for good and put the service on hold until an appropriate alternative is found.

So, if Siri0us stops working for you, do let us know!

Why would it stop working? My guess is that the tweak accesses Nuance’s servers pretending to be the Dragon app itself and takes the result — and the ads come from Admob. Why would his servers be used for anything?
