Additionally, it comes with more preferences than SpeakEvents and costs half as much (for a limited time that is)!



Once we have installed Aloud from Cydia, there is a long list of preferences from the Settings application that we can dig into. First and foremost, we have the ability to enable and disable the tweak at ...

While Siri is a powerful iOS companion, she could be a lot more powerful if Apple permitted it. Unfortunately, they don’t – so we jailbreak our devices, and it allows us to do more with her. A recent jailbreak application called AssistantExtensions has provided a framework for developers to add more third-party support to Siri.
