I used Vokul on the 4 my husband lost last year, it worked almost a good a
Siri for texting which is all I really used it for.

Subject: Re: Are there any apps i can get that are like siri?

 

Maria, sense I read this, I too have had the app on my iPhone for some time
and had not realized it had gone inaccessible.  About a year or so back they
did the same thing by taking an accessible app and making it inaccessible
but the blindness community complained so loudly that they changed it and it
then became accessible again.  Now it appears they didn't care or they have
new people in charge and they didn't get word so this will depend on how
many people want it and are willing to go to bat for it.  I don't use it as
much as I once did as I have a Bluetooth keyboard I bought back in March and
dictation wasn't used as much.  But like I said, the last time the blind
spoke up they did fix it.

 

In keeping with the subject line here, I had tried what seems like a boat
load full of apps that are suppose to be siri like.  I haven't found one yet
that comes anywhere near it.  Most get stuff from the internet that has
nothing to do with what you asked for in the first place.  Sometimes you
just sit there waiting for a response that never comes.  Finally, I just
gave up on siri wannabees and figured I'd just wait until my 2 year
agreement is up.  Well, it's been up sense last May and I'm just waiting for
the next iPhone to come out and then I'll get the real deal.

 

HTH
