Is siri open API available currently?

Question

There is an app in app store name Touchpad, its last updated at Nov 29, included a new feature that supporting "Use the Siri key on device keyboard to send text to computer", I wanna to know if any open API for Siri right now, especially for iOS 5.1 beta, or how can it support such feature? Sorry that I have not the 4S and never try Siri.

Answer 1

No there is NO api for siri, but if siri is supported in your language then a microphone will be shown in the keyboard allowing you to dictate an text.

Answer 2

No, Siri is using a very closed protocol and/or API.

That is has been hacked is very unfortunate (but also awesome and a damn good job of reversing)

Answer 3

There are a number of sources which suggest that a very limited portion of the Siri API (specifically dictation) will be exposed to developers in the upcoming iOS 5.1

Answer 4

This is an unofficial, but @applidium have cracked the Siri protocol, so you can call Siri via HTTP.

Basically, you'll need to get a device GUID (see link below), send the raw audio (as speex audio codec) and you get back zipped data. Unzip the binary response (after 4th byte), and it contains plists.
