Hi this is Arjun Bhatnagar and I am developer for i4Siri. Everyone has been asking for an update on the i4Siri project and trust me we have been working day and night to provide you with some real updates. There are no ETA’s for the i4Siri release yet, but we are moving along quite quickly.
As you know i4Siri is a Siri port in which Siri connects to Google’s public servers instead of Apple’s. This allows for stability because Apple can block any connection to its servers at any time (which is too risky for a large public server). The connection to Google is only to interpret what you speak. After Google has interpreted your spoken words it is sent to our server. This is where the magic happens.
Currently we have Mark DiFranco working fully on the Google part. He has designed the connection to and from Google and is almost done with our complete break off from Apple’s servers. The past few days he has worked day and night on this and has helped push i4Siri forward. Thanks to his tremendous help we have been able to focus on getting the server ready to make Siri’s functions happen.
To make Siri function properly, we would have to write many “Siri Proxy Plugins”. Each plugin would have to handle weather, phone, notes, reminders, iPod, etc. These plugins are being developed by Alex, Andrew, and I. Development began slowly because the whole concept of Siri Plugins was new to everyone. It took quite awhile for everyone to study and research how the plugins are built. I began and finished Siri’s plugins to understand Web Search, Yelp, and WolframAlpha (the plugin that tells you how many calories in a donut and what 4 times 4 is). When I started work on the phone and calendar plugins I reached a complete stop. There was no method out there on how to connect to these applications. I spent a good day just thinking of how to get these plugins working. After googling around I had an epiphany! I knew how all of Siri’s functions would be programmed and how we could install many custom plugins such as Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
My method to solve the problem was having a Siri website and database. Within our website we have each user who wants to connect to the server register for free and securely store his UDID information. This would first allow us to keep track of who is connected to our server prevent random iDevices from connecting. This means that we can start having information on our users that we can fetch. In order to solve our plugins problem I devised a solution in which we use Google calendar and reminders, online addressbook, online weather websites, etc. So if you wanted to make an event we would first ask you to submit information within your secure account on our website which we then use to connect to Google’s online calendar and post your event. That event would then sync to your iDevice through the calendar’s app and show up there. If you wanted to check the weather we would connect to an online weather database with the zip code you securely submitted and return you with data. This type of solution for Siri’s functions can be implemented easily, it will just take some time.
We are working on i4Siri everyday so please bear with us as we finish the product. When we finish, donators will be able to go to the server url and register an account with their PayPal transaction id.

Oh, and don’t let those douchebag trolls bring you guys down.
Finally, hope it’s done soon
Hello
I want to start by thanking this group for this great work, its really wonderful. Donating to you guys is never a waste of money its put in good use.
I wanted to add a note, which is : many countries dont have zip code, so it might be a problem for some users like me. Just note
Thanks for the great work and cya
Thank you guys so much for all that work!!
Great job.. well done !

I donated a small amount. You guys are doing the great job.
It’s exciting to read the update every time.
I have donated small amounts to i4siri, when can i get the beta proxy address?
my email , isaiah.lai@me.com
Transaction (REMOVED. Please do not post your transaction ID. For it will be used to gain access early to the servers. ID’s can only be redeemed once. -Alex)
Thankx.
Good. I’m excited. Thanks guys. This will show apple!
I just donated something to you guys.
Honestly,it’s not about when it’s going to be finished.
Simply put,I do appreciate your efforts and the time you invest in this.
It’s a great project.
Keep your heads up!
Animo equipo! Ya de hecho ustedes son unos genios!! Sigan trabajando y juntos lo lograremos!!
Hey, i have a doubt: is the siri which u r developing supposed to work with Spire?
btw how big is the file which will connect to ur servers?
Awesome!! Sounds like you guys are workin hard on this. I’m excited! Keep it up!
Hi guys, great job with all of the Siri plugins
I am good at IT, so i didn’t know if i could be of any help, i would not want paying or anything, if you did need me just email me at danw7102@gmail.com 
thanks 
WIll it only be open to donators?
Hi
I just donated $10 and I’ m from the UK and the transcation went through successful, and a great job you’ve done so far
I Thank you so much for Doing this <3
Hi just donated $5, its not much, but all I could afford on my paypal right now
thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks!
This is epic. I use google’s API for translating purposes so if it works for that then it should do fine with Siri’s stuff. The only thing is that this Siri port will be limited to assistant only. None of those questions like where can I hide a body stuff will work.
He clearly shows in his videos that it does work fully.
Uhhhh… How ahould i test the voice translation? the website only says “loading…: and i dont know what to do.
Should i put a website in spire?
you can test it on places like google.com or isohunt.com andwhere with the google voice api…..
lol usually im smart with this stuff, im having a bad day and ur gonna hate me but im still lost O.o
god I can simphathise lol
You can try google voice search out at google.com – it needs to be google.com, not .co.uk or anything else. On the search bar there is a microphone, click it and talk!
also on isohunt.com you can click the mic on the search bar to use google voice search…. Its exactly the same as whats in the demo you can’t access… you can embed it on any site all you need is its API which is why its so easy to use for siri…
hope that helped!
oooohhhhh lol sorry i was having a slow day. thanks
GREAT JOB, but can i still ask what will the weather be like tomorrow to siri???
originally you were not going to store info, now your are storing for phone calls, you can see our cell numbers and other cell numbers who we ring
You guys are really great! It is fantastic what you do! I will donate tomorrow as I am currently away.
If Apple sold Siri at the AppStore I had bought it, but I am confident your system will be even better!
Keep up the great work and don’t let the trolls let you get down, they would never be able to program a calculator!
I4Siri iRulez!
Hey I donated 2$ I know it’s not much but can I try the server? Email me at daniel29409@walla.com thanks ! And good work
I read happily till the database part of this update post. Personally I am okay with you storing my UDID, but giving access to my google stuff is somewhat a hard step for me. And don’t get me wrong, I totally appreciate your work, as I am a developer myself, and I know how much it takes to do something like this, but other people will have concerns about privacy too. With this said, can you point out exactly what info will be stores at your end. And also are you planning to release any sources or an application of your server software, so other people can host servers too? And once again thank you for your hard work.
All information will be stored securely. If there is a real concern about your Google Account, make a new one just for this.
you guy i4siri project better hurry up,
now apple is encryptng again… problably making further use of siri Illegal. just saying.
I was wondering if you could send me the code for translating the speech packets to text, please, i would like to make a server too
You guys are the best! I hope my donation of $10 will help! Good Job!
Sorry — my names Christian not cheistian….typo
You guys are going to need a lot more processing power than you currently have in order to handle the input/output. You might want to start looking into collecting funds for Amazon web services and targeting development for it.
When donater can try the server via spire?
so i got me a udid code from a 4s. I been reading on how to set up a mini proxy server. only thing i dont know is what to do with my 4s key. how do i stick that in? ill share to anyone that helps. Thanks
http://www.iphoneroots.com/2011/11/howto-create-siriproxy-server-unlimited.html
Read that, it’s a very good tutorial (:
Is this going to be donate-only?
-The Voice Translation was awesome. It understands almost every words that I say.
I have a question: Why does SiriProxy programmed with Ruby but not other programming language?
Good news indeed.
What’s the deal with the snowy thing on the mobile site? Christmas is over.
Hey Guys!
Can google speech handle a diffrent language or is it just English?
Great work btw!
Hello Guys!
I can help to develop plugins.
Please contact me.
Thanks Andy
Ok, i understand what this is now. It would never be like siri. Your are just trying to copie SOME function of it but it will never equal siri which is constantly evolving.
Well, up to some point you are right, but I looked through the Ruby plugin example from the Plamoni’s SiriProxy, which are used to make the Siri work and theoretically i4siri developers can make a plugin for every new function Apple makes in the future. And seeing how much they have already done, I am pretty sure they will be able to accomplish this task.

Thanks a million for the update! And thanks too for working day and night for us!
Thank U can you guys make a video based on the update PLZ thanks.
Hope the $20 helps.. I appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing
hey this is pretty cool
but i just have one IMPORTANT question…which a lot of other people might have.
when u go on spire, its says that personal info will be sent through the server….
so…what is the point of this if the server will cllect all of my data?
hopefully u will reply
thnks
the point is you get siri!
ok uve got a good point…
but will all my data be monitored likee messages and everthng

I’m so glad you guys keep us updated the way you do. Thanks for the hard work!! Looking forward to the finished product!!
hey guys i love what your doing i tried to use i4auth the other day and didn’t get it. do you have an ETA or could we have a new update to know how far you are. thanks love how your showing apple up those eejits need a good kick up the backside.
guys!! goddamit shuddup about “can i get the server first cuz i donated?”! seriously cut tht shit! u dont donate for ur own selfish needs! u donate to help them make progress n help everyone get it! but there alot of others who actually donates to support this cause..(which is very kindhearted) for those who keeps on begging for it stop complaining and hav sum patiences and be more supportive! theyre trying their best!!
exactly! you see people up there saying “hi i donated $2 whats the server address”
lol
If you want us to release server early you have to donate more
EDIT: This is not true. This guy attempted to Impersonate one of us. All of his comments have been removed, disregard anything he said, and I’ll be blocking him from the site. Btw. Anyone commenting with the name admin or anything like that will get banned too.
-Alex.
FAKE!!! Take your donations and still nothing!! Why can other developers release alot quicker???
Because other people develop different things. Why has it taken the dream dev team 3 months and we’ve still no jailbreak? Wanna go complain to them? And maybe because they don’t tell people that they’re working on something like this until it’s done. Why didn’t we? Obviously because we could not afford the servers. Patience please.
U can create ur own free safe proxy server! I hav an it works with spire! Try googleing it an work it out its not that hard!!
hello i have donated 10 dollars will that be enough to gain access?????
Stop impersonating
who the f is he impersonating?
Admin duh lol. Joke dood.
god dont listen to tht “admin” impersonatin fool… and zack.. did u not read wut wuz written up there? STOP ASKING FOR THE SERVER AND HAVE SOME PATIENCE!!! these ppl r trying their bestt!!! if u keep askin like tht do u know how much it wud pressure them?? so letz all b patient and hope the guys can accomplish this. and Snowi if u havent noticed theyre trying make one way better than ur piece of shit server where billions of ppl can use it! if u make one way better than the i4siris server ill giv u a million bux. now stop being a asshole! theyre bot forcing us to donate! they just said it wud help! they ddnt say “u have to donate to us”! they ddnt take our money. we GAVE it to them. im pretty sure even a dumbass like u can figure out the difference between Give or Take
Thx guys ,, is it done yet?
Ive donated39dollars , hope tht gröps you!
Hello I made a small donation you make a good job
Hi everyone I have a spire proxy if ur interested I’m sellin for $20 email me @perkins.deshawn@yahoo.com
Question:
If Apple 5.1 enables Siri dictation for all devices (and it’s starting to look like it will), won’t that make routing to google for speech interpretation useless?
Apple’s iOS 5.1 I mean…
If you need help with developing plugins or translating your project in a different language (e.g. German), then please contact me at the given e-mail address. I am from Germany but I have studied English for a long time so I could create good translations very quick.
Thanks
SCAM
Bart STFU i4siri is LEGIT gtfo u ungrateful dick >:(
Disregard.
DISREGARD. This guy was impersonating us. Banned.
-Alex
dude admin. srsly stop trollin nobody thinks ur cool. just shuddup
I banned him
Hey, don’t worry just work on the project. Is there a percentage you could give up that you guys are done?
I’d say >=80%
Have*
Administrator? Give my an Answer to my Question please
When you release the Google-Voice-SiriProxy?
You musn´t publish it, Send it to me simply
Or let me participate/work in your team.
Then we/you can release the Servers quickier
I donated but the end of the song will be that many people will give away the proxy adress and and it will be the same as other proxies.How do you want to protect that?Spire with login???Hope the server will not burn
LOL!!!!!! Still workin day and night??? Pish!!! You guys are no further forward! All your doin is takin donations!
FUCKIN SCAM!!!
See that guy they are full of shit they dont even
Know how to ban a person
So how the fuck can they do a fuckxey server
snowi dude srsly stfu ur gettin on my fukin nerves. and if u think itz a scam y the fuk r u still commenting on this page? haha snowi ur sucha dumbass bro
Good job fellas. You guys are gonna piss apple off to the point that they just release it for idevices in the next iOS release. Good job again because the should have done it anyway. It’s either this or vlingo for me.
Considering that I am working on a similar project, I have some information on how the calendaring and other systems work with Siri- thus bypassing the need for external services. You have my email to find me on skype if you want to talk.
I have a question… When I4siri is complete does everyone have there own proxy server or is there going to be one big proxy server connecting to everyone?
It’l be realy really cool if you even port it to the ipad (likespire does)
