iPad 1 does have a microphone.
The processor has to wavelet compress the audio and ship it off to Siri for processing. Apple might not be happy with the performance on the original iPad.
I recall that someone got it running on a jailbroken device. I don't remember how well it worked.
- wavephorm 14y agoIf other audio recording apps (I've never used any) work just fine then any excuses Apple uses to not support Siri the iPad is a load of bullshit.
- quesera 14y agoIt's not that simple. Recording is easy. Dump the ADC output to a buffer and call it a WAV file. Or an AU. Sending it to Siri requires chunking the audio into small pieces, compressing them with a wavelet table (I'm assuming here, my DSP knowledge is a bit dated), and shipping them off to North Carolina. If this can't be done quickly, Siri appears to suck. Apple is religiously conservative about enabling features on hardware that might cause the experience to suck. Audio compression was a slow thing on desktop computers when desktop computers had similar specs to the first iPad. I'm no authority, but this seems like a relevant detail to me.
