    Cydia's Siri alternatives: do any actually work?

    I have an iPhone 4, jailbroken on IOS5.0.2. I note via Mr. Google that there seem to be several Siri-like alternatives. Do any actually work?

    I use Spire and I have bought a spot on two private servers that I can use. Spire puts actual Siri on your phone, it's not an alternative. It It has been pretty reliable. If you need more specific details or help, just let me know.

    My suggestion for Siri server is uhelios. He charges $15 for a lifetime spot with access to 9 different servers.

    Save yourself a little work and do what I did: download Voice Actions, activator and the disable voice control tweak, use them to set u Voice Actions like Siri. Voice Actions is very similar to Siri, best way to put it is it's Siri but a bit less refined. It works well though, and right now it can do some things Siri can't, like activate the camera app. And you don't have to jury rig a Siri server to use it either.

    I would not mind paying $15 for Siri. Can anyone give a walk through on how to set it up and let me know if the site linked above charging for a proxy is legit?

    The uhelios site is legit, I payed the 15 dollars and got a spot and Siri works just fine. The site has the instructions on how to do it

    Cauchon* Can you give the specific details on getting spire setup with uhelios? I've installed spire before and it made other apps not work correctly so I know I did something wrong. Never thought about adding a server to accomodate spire. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    All you need to do is download the certificate and enter the proxy server in spire through settings and you would then need to turn on Siri and reboot the phone then try and use siri and it should work, the site is uhelios.com
