Siri: techno iPhone inspires hackers - V

Spotify Control

Siri is compatible with some applications of the iPhone, but too little to the taste of some developers. Here is one that wanted to enjoy Spotify on iPhone 4S, using only his voice. For this, he used SiriProxy that responds to requests from the voice recognition software. Of course, it is possible to request a particular artist and Siri will choose a song from Spotify's library. For example, "Spotify, play me some Nirvana" and you're done with more songs added to the current drive.

Here's a more fun, but also more technical Siri. A developer has come, first tinkering with an electronic piano, capable of playing at a distance, but also to program Siri to be able to play the piano with an iPhone 4S. The piano? 

A Yamaha Disklavier is capable of recognizing a piece sent by the iPhone 4S as a MIDI file, via an Airport Express. 

The developer who designed this "hack" of Siri even added the "Play it again," to replay the song on request. The great art!

To read the RSS feed

A developer, especially lazy, Siri has changed for it to read the latest information. Responding under the moniker @ JailbreakMatrix, however, he had to go through a jailbroken iPhone 4S to achieve this. But the result is impressive. In his demonstration, the developer asks Siri to read her latest headlines from Engadget, which appears in their RSS feeds. Siri obeyed the voice of robot we know it.

It's not all @ JailbreakMatrix also diverted the Apple Remote to control iTunes. He asked the software to start some music, it runs.

Order a room thermostat

Siri can be seen as a gimmick, but here's a use that could be handy, especially for perennial chilly. A few days after the crack of the application by the French team of Applidium, an American developer calling themselves Plamon unveiled SiriProxy, a proxy server at any point similar to the voice server used by Apple to Siri. Once activated, it automatically connects Siri to offer new orders. Plamon first example, the ability to adjust the thermostat from room to room using the voice command software from Apple.

Introduction

Siri is the only feature exclusive to the iPhone 4S. Still in development at Apple, the application remains the very best in the field of speech recognition on mobile. If the Cupertino company has amused some answers to slip crispy, the U.S. company did not, as usual, opened its software developers. Result: they have seized to push the possibilities of Siri.
