How to Install Siri on your iPad 1 With WordJelly and Ac!d


how t o install siri on ipad 1 ios 5.1.1

Weā€™ve waited a few days for iPad 1 owners to mourn the fact that Apple wonā€™t be releasing iOS 6 on the original Apple tablet before posting this Siri how to. So all you iPad 1 owners out there grab your iPad and show Apple what it can really do.

This how to is going to show you how to install Siri the talking personal assistant found on Appleā€™s iPhone 4S on to your iPad running iOS 5.1.1. Weā€™re pretty sure these same instructions will work on the iPod, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (iPhone 4 has been tested and it works) but at the time of writing we havenā€™t tested all those devices.

But we have fully tested the iPad 1 and we can say it runs Siri extremely well! Best of all though installing Siri and having it work like it does on the iPhone 4S is extremely easy!

How to install Siri on the iPad 1

Before we start with installing Siri on your iPad 1 please check you iPad is up to date and running iOS 5.1.1.

To find out if youā€™re up to date, plug your iPad in to your computer and start iTunes. From there you can see which iOS version you are running

Now that you know you are on the correct iOS version you are going to have to Jailbreak your iPad running iOS 5.1.1 using Absinthe. There is also the Redsnow tool, but we could only get Absinthe to work.

    Siri works, but speech recognition and search results not quite as good as adverised: Much “misunderstanding.”
    Speech-to-text not as good as Dragon. Slow to process speech; sometimes doesn’t stop processing. OTOH, s2t does work in-app (iPad Mail).
    I would like to know how to round off the edges. Simply.
