14 DAY TRIAL // A company called iSoft JSC has released an alternative to Siri, the digital assistant that does things just by asking on your iPhone 4S. Sara works on older-generation devices, starting at iPhone 2G, and allegedly does even more than Apple’s Siri.
The Vietnamese group at iSoft JSC says Sara is actually an advanced alternative to Siri. In addition to offering regular Siri capabilities, Sara accepts custom commands via plug-ins.
Don’t worry about having to code your own because if this thing takes off, programmers will be flocking to get their plug-ins out so everyone can enjoy them. Sara also works in many countries. In fact, it supports 37 languages. Beat that Siri!
Unfortunately, Sara does come with a small caveat - you need a jailbroken device to access Cydia to download it. For those who are interested, it’s located at http://isoftjsc.com.
