Change Siri’s accent on iOS (over 40 to choose from)

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:05:57 +0000

One of the main reasons people flocked to get a 4S was the introduction of Siri, a personal assistant and amazing voice recognition agent that has not been successfully emulated and is the envoy of the other phone operating systems at the moment. Siri can perform hundreds of tasks by voice activation and even responds with witty remarks should you get creative with your voice commands.

Now, thanks to the iTweakers, you can now change Siri’s accent in a number of ways, using the app AnyVoice.

Some of the accents sound better than others, so try them out and see which one sounds best for you!

The app requires that you be jailbroken and is accessed via Cydia. Just search for AnyVoice, install it, and there you have it! If you would like to learn how to jailbreak your device, head over to our iPhone forums.

iOS5 Gets Jailbroken!!

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:00:51 +0000

Well, what a surprise – iOS5 jailbroken already only after hours of being in the wild. iPhone Dev Team member MuscleNerd tweeted the confirmantion, along side with some screenshots to prove it. Here is a bigger surprise – it uses the same limera1n exploit and a tethered boot. Which just means users will need to have their iOS5 device plugged into a PC or Mac if they wat to restart it and preserve the hack.

Still, it’s early in the iOS5 world and it won’t be pushed out to regular users until this fall, and right now only developers have access and that all could change before the full release. We wouldn’t be surprised if the iPhone Dev Team was holding back on some ace cards ready for when that actually happens, so as to avoid Apple closing any loop holes before then.

WOW! Who would think that Apple might actually make their iOS harder to hack, it seems that they didn’t even try to change how this worked, and I wouldn’t be surprised if other things were the same as iOS4. What about you PPCGeeks, does this surprise you at the least? Tell me down below – please remember though that we do have to be nice :).

Go To Jail, Get A Virus

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:31:27 +0000

It seems that those of you who are rocking an Apple iPhone that has been jailbroken via a SSH client may catch a virus. A phone virus that is. It seems that a creative coder from Australia wrote some script that accesses the SSH client and causes the users wallpaper to be changed to a picture of Rick Astley, the man who has annoyed millions with his song Never Gonna Give You Up.
