Almost like Siri: Cydia app Sara for other iPhone models

Sara jailbreak tweak, similar to Siri

One of the most valued advantages of iPhone 4S is certainly it’s Siri voice control app. Since iPhone 4S is now a jailbreak friendly device thanks to hard work from the jailbreak community, many different Siri related tweaks are becoming available. Among them, a number of apps which are Siri like or enable Siri on iOS devices other than iPhone 4S have been released recently. So far the most popular alternative to Siri is being delivered through Spire. But Sara is a tweak which will enable Siri even on older iOS devices. Yes it is true, it will work even on iPhone 3G!

Sara was developed, believe it or not, by group of Vietnamese developers, and it is actually a voice recognition tool which allows users to exploit capabilities similar to Siri on their devices. You can use Sara for Youtube voice search, web search, translation and much more. What is really nice with this tool is that it can be used outside of US. It offers support for 35different languages. Keep in mind that while it looks quite cool, it is still not as good as Siri. For example, location based actions wont work at all. There are also other functions which wont work like alarm, clock and other. Still this app is a free one and it will probably get better with each new version. If you decide to give it a go you need to add this repository to your Cydia: http://isoftjsc.com.

Obviously this is an app which will be available only for users with jailbroken devices. Iphone 4S can be jailbroken with Absinthe by Chronic Dev Team. Older devices can be jailbroken with RedSn0w jailbreak tool for Windows or Mac. For all necessary downloads and instructions please check our blog archive. As always, your comments are highly appreciated!
