Siri Dictation comes to iPhone 4, jailbreak required

The Siri Dictations feature that is presently exclusive to Apples’ latest iPhone version, iPhone 4S- along with Siri- can now be used on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 4G. The developer Eric Day has launched a new jailbreak package named Sirious, which will be available via a Cydia repository, and will permit user to easily get Siri Dictation working. As you can notice in the video clip above, Sirious works exactly like Siri Dictation would on the iPhone 4S, but miserably it does have ads. This tweak usages Nuance’s technology, but it is cool on the other hand.

At the same time, developers are still working to bring a Siri port to the iPhone 4, and have previously come up with some pretty cool custom use cases. If you already have iPhone 4 jailbreak this would not be a bad thing to check out.
