How To Tweet With Siri [SiriProxy Plugin] *Update* Now Available

How To Tweet With Siri - SiriProxy Plugin

With the help of @plamoni‘s Siri Proxy, @netpro2k managed to teach Siri how to tweet. This method is much more elegant than the SMS method, but it currently requires a complicated setup.

The commands are actually interpreted by Apple’s servers, and then intercepted by a proxy I have running locally. I am then simply using Twitter gem to make the post. Confirm and cancel work both by voice and by clicking the onscreen buttons. You may notice it appears the resutls are coming from WolframAlpha. I just used this response format as it allows you to return arbitrary text and images, as well as a confirmation. There is no interaction with wolfram’s servers.

Update

Netpro2k’s code has been pulled into the main repository and can be downloaded here.
