We all know about the popular Cydia tweak ‘Spire‘ from the well known developer chpwn. The tweak uses a proxy address instead of connecting to Apple’s servers because Authorization Keys are needed, which are only generated on the iPhone 4S. Many of us do not want to pay for a good Spire proxy host. And in most cases, the free ones either don’t have enough keys or are overloaded. A way to get around this is to use a ‘Google API Server,’ which isn’t the same, but does great with dictation.
So now to the proxy I found called GRWH Siri Proxy Server: It is a Google API server that uses plugins to make it seem a lot more like Siri then any other Google proxy server out there. It is very fast and does a great job with dictation and simple questions to show off to your friends. The website is siri.grwh.net, but I don’t seem to be able to open it on my PC, so visit it on your mobile device. It is very easy to connect, and offers 10 proxy URL’s to choose from. Though it does require a certificate to be installed, you will find it isn’t a big deal to download and configure.
I will admit it would be great if someone could make a i4Siri-esque tweak where it automatically adds the proxy and a tab to install the certificate, but that can come later. This service also provides paid proxies with a faster (can’t imagine it being faster), more secure responses, along with Wolfram Alpha API. Wolfram is also in the free proxy, however, it is not as good.
There are some downsides to using this service though, such as not being able to FaceTime different people using “FaceTime John Doe”, and it will only give one answer to “Open the pod bay doors”, the funniest question to ask Siri. Overall, this is a great service while you wait for hackers to find out how to connect it to the official Apple servers- or you obtain a 4S/keys, but lacks a few features that I think are essential.

works!!!!!
so awesome
I just tried it now on iPad 2 and it works for me.
it works for me just 1 invoke and she sayz hello too. nice.!!!
After instalation i can`t read email on iphone4. What is going on?
Damn, it always says “I dont” understand ” ….. “. But dictation works fine.
What version of iOS u have on iPad 2? Cydia does not let me install on 5.0.1.
It was working. Thanks
INSTALL CORONA FROM CYDIA REBBOT AND EVERYTHING SHUD WORK AGAIN
EVERYTHING I ASK LIKE I SAY HELLO IT SAYS I DONT UNDERSTAND HELLO
I have ios 5.0.1 on my iPad 2 (untethered jailbreak). Works perfect..
I have tried it for 7 hours now…still works good
NOTE: Sometime Siri says she doesn’t understand EVERYTHING. This error
happens when the server plugins do not work with your native language to
fix this go to: Settings -> General -> Siri and change your
language from whatever your on to: ENGLISH (US).
It works fine after I changed language in siri ti US.
im in the uk and when i change to english us it wont locate weather in the uk ?
havent used yet but cant wait to use
hope it works crossing my fingers
not working how long does this take ???
yes!!! keep the noise down more people on it less chance of working
Really works no fake I just donated 10$’s amazing it’s really fast
works perfect just set as english (US) under siri settings. only thing is the voice doesnt really sound like siri, or is it just me?
Is it free
fully works :)
So I ask “Do I have any mail” and it responds “You said you have”. I’ll ask what the weather is like and it says “Here is the weather is like for “University, Canada.” I have my weather app set to Guelph, which is where I’m from. This is not a good proxy as for as I can tell.
Despite the golden rule to never trust people who type in all caps and can’t spell ‘should’, he’s right.
wait but cornora is only for 5.0.1
we have a working Paid proxy contact siriserver4india@gmail.com
Works great!
it works but lacks a few commands like reading sms messages and mail but covers most of the basic commands
Well heres what happens to me it works but it can not even tell me the weather it just says “Anormal 70 degreea inside the computer”
same issue for me! I tried changing the language from English UK to English US and I got some kind of a response (although the bint doesn’t pick up my accent……)
whats up with the website you gave above? It seems to a DJ page for DJ Raven
I am just sad about GRWH Siri Proxy Server because this server doesnt use the wolfram Alpha to answer the questions. because of this, she is little bit dump. I have asked her “whats the population of Brazil? ” and it said it was 6 bilion.
the same was the answer the population of US.
haha
Is there any server who uses the Wolfram?
of couse. The WordJelly uses the Wolfram Alpha.
but its not 100% working!
What do we can do?
I do not know yet.
cant get it to work, im on a ipod touch 4g, ios 5.1.1 absinthe unteathered jailbreak, i have siri and it keeps saying “i’m really sorry about this, but i cant take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while” please help!
ugh i dont have any money this sucks
I jailbroke my Ipad2 using Absinthe and installed the new Siri installer Ac!d Siri, then used the cert and proxy from that site it works better than a paid one I have on my iPhone 4 lol thanks
It only says ” I’m really sorry about this, but I can’t take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while.” Please help me!
I had that problem when I had the chat bot for Siri loaded. You just say “goodbye” to exit chat bot and then you can go back to asking normal questions.
It workd!!!
go on the settings -> general -> siri and change the language from what ever your useing to english (US) and ith should work, you get this error because the plugins dont work with your native language
Mine doesn’t use wolfram and it is stupid. It says 70 degrees inside the computer but its not in chat mode
PLEASE NOTE: This proxy has been discontinued, and no longer works. Thank you.
