This is a very early version of a Siri Server (not a proxy).
Apple's Siri is an voice controlled assistant on iPhone 4S.
With jailbreaking you can install it on other iDevices. However, Siri needs a server to communicate to do the speech processing. Apple only allows 4S devices on their servers.
This project tries to recreate the Apple Siri Server to use it with other iDevices.
You don't need any 4S keys to make it work, as it is independent from Apple.
It uses Google Speech-To-Text API. And therefore we are currently limited to commands that are shorter than 10 seconds (maybe we can overcome this).
We have a new plugin system: Check out the plugins folder and the example plugin for more infos. It supports multi-language inputs.
You should also checkput the plugin.py to see what a plugin has for predefined methods. You can also look at the time plugin, it sends more complexe objects and does meaningful localized output. And does more complex processing of different inputs
The file SiriProtocol documents everything I (and others) found out about the protocol by now
Install audio libraries
For the audio handling you need libspeex and libflac
On Linux simply install it via you packet manager e.g. (or see instructions and note for OS X):
sudo apt-get install libspeex1 libflac8
On OS X download libspeex and libflac from the websites above (the sources, not the binaries) and compile and install them, or simply follow the following steps:
wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/speex/speex-1.2rc1.tar.gz
tar -xf speex-1.2rc1.tar.gz
cd speex-1.2rc1
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/flac/files/flac-src/flac-1.2.1-src/flac-1.2.1.tar.gz/download -O flac-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar -xf flac-1.2.1.tar.gz
./configure --disable-asm-optimizations
make
sudo make install
Note: you can also install libspeex via MacPorts, but libflac is not available in 64bit you need to supply --disable-asm-optimizations in configure to make it compile
Python requirements
As this project is coded with python you need a python interpreter (this is usually already installed). I work with python 2.6.6 and 2.7.2 and both work.
You also need some python packages to make it work:
biplist
M2Crypto
You can install both via easy_install,
easy_install is available at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools,
on Linux you can also get it via your packet manager:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
After you installed it, run:
easy_install biplist
easy_install M2Crypto
Certificate Generation
We also need to generate certificates forguzzoni.apple.com or any other domain
cd gen_certs
then
./gen_certs.sh
or
./gen_certs.sh 192.168.1.1
or
./gen_certs.sh domain.com
this will generate a certifcaite for guzzoni.apple.com, 192.168.1.1 or domain.com
When you use Spire, just enter as address what ever parameter you supplied to gen_certs.sh e.g.:
https://guzzoni.apple.com
or
https://domain.com
or
https://192.168.1.1
In case you don't have Spire or want to use guzzoni.apple.com
you need to setup a DNS spoofing or manipulate you hosts file
Please make sure to install the CA certificate on your iDevice (you can simply mail it to yourself). It is the CA.pem file that was copied by gen_certs.sh to the servers root. In your mail, just click on the certificate and install it.
Running the server
Now you are ready to go, start the server with:
sudo python siriServer.py
Note: You need to run it as root, as we use https port 443 (non root can only use ports > 1024) for incomming connections.
A big thanks to Applidium and also plamoni for his SiriProxy which inspired me Thanks to everyone that contributed code or ideas.
