Meet Sara, the Siri Alternative That Works on All iDevices
Until now, the best way to install Siri on iOS devices other than iPhone 4S has been Spire, a jailbreak tweak released in December last year that requires users to connect to a proxy server to let Siri respond to users' commands.
Thanks to a Vietnamese Dev team, the users now can install an apparently much more advanced alternative to Siri, called Sara, in all iOS devices.
