SARA: Cydia Tweak for Siri Alternative

As
you probably know the SIRI is already equip within the newer version of the
iPhone. Aside from the amenities Siri allows for, SARA has also been developed with
the capabilities to learn how to take commands. The user can actually train
SARA to do what they ask for. This feature causes users to consider SARA as an
“open” mind electronic personal assistant.
SARA
is also available in 37 languages making this option more advanced than Siri in
yet another way. The issue found with SARA is that she does not seem to be as
knowledgeable as Siri overall however is constantly evolving.
The main reason you would want SARA if move for entertainment value as its not as useful at finding the necessary information and up to date useable navigation features as Siri. Some users have stated that they effectively use SARA and some say that SARA is not close to as accurate as Siri this is mostly dependent on how you use Sara and comes down to interpretation.
