How to turn on Siri on iPod Touch 4G? iOS 6.0 updated

Try holding down the home button for a few seconds. I get a "Voice Control" screen that acts and sounds a lot like Siri.

I'm using an iPod Touch 4g with iOS6.

There is no Siri on touch 4G

Yeah, I just realized what it is. It uses the same voice as Siri.

Pardon my boneheadedness.

There are many alternatives to Siri. This may be a teaching opportunity to explain about getting caught up in marketing hype. 😉

Some I have seen or tried:

Speaktoit Assistant

Iris (Intelligent Rival Imitator of Siri)

vokul

Google Now

Dragon Go!

Voice Actions

Dial2do

Best of Luck.

Apple will NEVER announce that Siri for old devices.They want you to buy more if you want the specific feautures.But it is ok for you to misunderstood that Siri will available to iTouch 4G as a tech savvy.:D

Alright Guys So Siri cannot run on the 4G because it does not have the amount of technical specifications inside. The iPod touch does not come with enough power to run Siri at all For those jailbroken iPod you see there just running Siri not an app or anything. I had a fourth generation iPod touch that was jailbroken with Siri and it kept crashing due to memory loss. I was not able to run anything else if I was using the Siri program. So all you people need to stop saying that iPod touch fourth-generation can run Siri because it can't it may be able to by itself but with running properly to iOS standards it cannot. Apple knows that the iPod touch fourth generation cannot do this and therefore they did not put it inside the iPod touch.

This is an outright lie-When I got my ipod touch and upgraded to 4.3 it had SIRI installed, it didn't talk but it did respond in text. There is no reason at all that it won't work on a 4g other than Apple disabling it. I used SIRI all the way until ios 5.0 came out and apple disable access to the siri servers to ipod touch users.

You are referring to the Siri app, correct? That is not the same Siri.

I understand it wasn't the same, but it did more than any of Siri's alternatives did. Why did Apple take it away?

<Edited by Host>

Apple took away the SIRI application because they purchased it to improve and make their own. Now I am not sure about the price here, but Apple could have spent between $150 - $250 million to purchase the company. I know many were upset that the SIRI app has disappeared but I am sure Siri will eventually be able to handle a lot in the near future. (I doubt Apple would spend that much money and then ditch Siri without perfecting it). I hope you find another Siri replacement until you can get the real Siri! 🙂

Siri only works on Apple products that have the A5 chip!

The iPad 2 has an A5 chip but no Siri. The iPad 4 has Sire but the A 6 chip. What is needed is the noise reduction hardware.

You people are seriously rude. All this person did was ask a simple question. No need to tell anyone their stupid or overly sensitive. Just answer the **** question as nicely as you can. The iTouch user manual does say "features for iPod touch" and siri is listed. It is not however mentioned which specific device it's on.

Sorry, but you're wrong about the user guide. It clearly states:

"Siri is available on iPod touch 5th generation, and requires Internet access. "

There is also probably very little good that would come from jumping into a thread months after the fact just to castigate people.

Regards.
