Notorious S-I-RI a.k.a Siri Smalls

It’s always cool to see what kind of user content people can make for electronic devices these days. In this Siri hack, YouTube user robertboehnke has Siri covering the Notorious B.I.G hit, Hypnotize

Details on the hack below:

SiriProxy is used to intercept the communication with Apple’s servers. Based on your song request, Notorious Siri then sends your choice of Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize and an a-cappella rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody to the device (the latter requiring 4 iPhones 4S).

Siri’s speech synthesis is synced to the beat using the timestamps obtained from the Echonest API which were then manually tweaked, to smooth out delays in the text-to-speech engine.
