Sara Dictation is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to have Siri-like dictation on a non-iPhone 4S device. This isn't the first time we've seen a tweak that allows this — siri0us immediately comes to mind — but it is certainly worth trying.
If "Sara" sounds familiar, that's because it is. It's from the same developer that brought you the Siri alternative named Sara, which we covered last week.
Is there a new game of cat and mouse brewing? Reports from non-iPhone 4S Siri users indicate that there may be.
Apparently, Apple has altered its requirements for a successful Siri connection, adding a new token to the mix that has caused problems for those who connect to a 3rd party Siri server on non-iPhone 4S devices.
Are you one of them?
Each week there are tons of awesome new jailbreak tweaks released, and this past week was no exception. From Siri themes, to Siri alternatives, to Siri servers; it's all here in this week's top jailbreak videos of the week. We also consider the jailbreak classic, LockInfo, along with a simple way to move your iPhone's cursor a character at a time.

Looking to add Siri on your iPhone 2G, iPod touch, or virtually any other pre-iPhone 4S device? Then look no further than Sara.
Sara is far from perfect, but if Siri Proxy is not an option for you then it is likely the next best thing.

With any new product launch, Apple is known for their creative television advertising for almost every one of their products. Apple has already released a slew of advertisements for the iPhone 4S and Siri, showing how handy the personal assistant really is.
Tonight, 9to5mac points us to two new TV ads being aired by Apple. The thirty second advertisements show off Siri, and are titled "Road Trip" and "Rock God"...
Ever since the possibility of a Siri Proxy server was first unveiled, it's been all the rage. The promise of being able to run Siri on older devices? Count me and about a million other people in.
Now you can hardly look around without seeing some blurb about a 3rd party Siri server, and although security (or lack thereof) is still a big concern, it's apparently not concerning enough to keep the masses of pre-iPhone 4S owners away.
Andrew Sheridan, one of the primary folks behind the i4Siri project reached out to me about a month ago asking me to try his Siri server. Here are some of the results of that trial...
When iOS 5 launched last Fall, we figured that the Notification Center would become the new hot bed for jailbreak tweaks. But it seems like Siri has also become a popular choice among developers.
The latest package to surface in Cydia that adds functionality to the digital assistant is TweetLine. The tweak allows you to use Siri to call up the 5 most recent tweets from your Twitter timeline...

Introducing GhettoSiri... Watch out, it's definitely not safe for work, and can also be offensive to some people.
Siri, iOS's newest personal assistant feature available on the iPhone 4S, currently has support for English (United States, United Kingdom and Australia dialects), German, and French.
Apple has already promised new languages on their Siri support page, but today, a new report from DoNews (via Tech in Asia) says that Siri will be gaining support for Chinese, Japanese, and Russian next month.
Siri has been met with mixed feelings from consumers since it debuted on the iPhone 4S last Fall. While some folks think the feature alone is worth the handset's price tag, others find it to be little more than a novelty.
Well in case anyone was wondering how often 4S owners are actually using Siri, the New York Times has the answer. In a recent report, the site notes that 25% of Wolfram Alpha's queries come from Apple's digital assistant...
Neurotech Siri is an absolutely amazing looking theme for Siri, and really, the pictures and video don't totally do it justice.
This is a WinterBoard theme that features almost 300 frames of animation on the Siri logo, and you can tell from the fluidity and smoothness when invoking Siri.
Other Siri themes have changed the mic color, or added an Apple logo, but those all pale in comparison to this...
This past week saw the release of some awesome tweaks like MyAssistant — a Siri tweak that adds a great amount of new functionality to Siri. There was also RingerX VIP, the ringer and vibrate customization utility, along with Zeppelin — the custom carrier logo tweak.
